Hell yeah judge

[TylerD]

Twins are looking as cooked as the steak I like.

 

Very very well done.

 

Bad analogy. They’re toast.

Anyone who likes their steak burned is a sociopath who deserves ostracism from society.

Very well done steak? I can forgive you for being a Sox fan but not for this.

[TylerD]

I actually like my steak medium rare lol. Hence why it was a bad analogy

 

My brother likes his blue rAre true story.

Good, I thought I was gonna have to track you down and revoke your man card. Or woman card. Just all the cards. Never eat well done steak, ever. Ever.

[jacksonianmarch]

Stanton has looked different today and since he got back. Not jumpy, sitting back, taking what they give him. 3 walks today. If he can wait for his pitch, he will do damage this postseason. His issue is he gets himself out

Lol I don’t think many do. My dad does but he’s an old man. My wife eats med rare, so will my son when he’s older.

 

Anywho, twins in rough shape

Twins are gonna need to hope Tanaka is off. The Twins are a pest at their place. The only chance they have is to try and close it out in 4.

[jacksonianmarch]

And as good as Stanton has looked, Sanchez has looked awful since he got back. Very jumpy, getting himself out

Same with Didi. I absolutely consider Romine and Voit for tomorrow

I just can’t see it. After this the Twins will be 2-6? This year against New York. I think it’s in their head now that they can’t beat the Yanks. I will honestly be amazed if Minnesota doesn’t get swept.

[TylerD]

Called it. Said in this inning yanks would bust it open. Yanks win. Going over to the Dodgers game now.

[jacksonianmarch]

JA Happ throwing 95 out of the pen? Wow

[jacksonianmarch]

Happ throwing cheese out of the pen. Might want to hang onto him next year and utilize him as such

[TylerD]

Just put my son to sleep. He was not happy. He’s obsessed with the Yankees. Makes me sick lol. He’s 5 months old but he’s obsessed with their jerseys. Babies see black and whit so clear. He just zoned out on their jerseys.

He’s the smartest one in your house!

 

This was a good win. Paxton wasn’t at his best, but he was effective. With our pen the way it is, I wonder if Boone should be considering every inning beyond the 4th as potential pen time. Paxton dominated all but two batters in the game and I’d ensure he doesn’t face Polanco or Cruz for the third time unless the game is not within reach if this thing goes to a game 5. Using Ottavino for one batter was puzzling, especially since we ran out of our usual bridge come the 8th. But seeing Happ chucking 95 and looking dominant was strange. Yes, he walked a guy and allowed a hit, but the hit wasn’t struck hard and the two K’s didn’t have a chance. Maybe we have something here. Either way, 4.1IP of relief and the only run scored was a can of corn flyball that was only a HR in YS. Maybe 6 inches over Judge’s glove. So be it. Our hitters looked like they were really comfortable sans Sanchez and Didi. The other 7 took tons of pitches, didn’t chase and got good swings on their strikes. Really good game for us. The Twins looked scared. Let’s take another today

I like my steak well done. I can tolerate just a touch of pink in it, but I prefer none.

As I said in the other thread, the Twins don't stand a chance. It doesn't matter how good they are, they fold when they play the Yankees.

Same here.

[Bellhorn04]

Brutal game LOL

[Kimmi]

Same here.

 

That's because you are a wise man.

[Kimmi]

Brutal game LOL

 

I turned it off after the Yankees went up 7-4.

 

I didn't want to watch that crap anymore.

Can’t see the twins picking up a single win. That was as dominant a win as you get in the playoffs. Yanks and Astros I think

[TylerD]

Agreed Kimmi, twins are done.

[TylerD]

Unfortunately I will miss the second game of the Twins/Yanks series. Going to Joker at 3:15

[jacksonianmarch]

I work today, so will gamecast in the midst of the craziness

Call in sick. That’s what I would do lol.

With what I do, there is no calling in sick. You show up to work sick

[jacksonianmarch]

SO the Twins are throwing a 24 yr old rookie who was in a 4 league independent league last year? He's had a good 6 starts, so they're throwing him in game 2 in Yankee stadium in a game they kinda have to win? Seriously? Baldelli may get the MOY award and maybe this kid has been good in September (when everyone else is throwing in the towel), but this isn't a hyped prospect. This isn't a guy who has nasty stuff. This is a command guy with low velo who doesn't strike guys out and is going against one of the best lineups in the league on their turf. One of the reasons why the Twins have lost to the Yanks so many times is the managing. Gardenhire tried getting cute, thinking he would outsmart the Yanks. And he didn't. And he lost. This is one of those cute moves. This looks like a disaster waiting to happen for the Twins. I'll take it.
