Twins gonna win it all this year!

 

[NorthDakota]

Twins end their 18 game playoff losing streak. Huge for the fanbase. Makes it all worth it.

 

[mango4]

Feels good to finally have that streak done. Royce is amazing and the bullpen did their job. Let’s end it tomorrow.

TWINS SERIES W

I hope Guerrero feels like a jackass for getting picked off at 2nd with an all-star hitter up with 2 outs lmaoo

 

[Irish2155]

AL East so far going 0-4 only scoring 2 total runs in those four games. Ouch

He needs to quit being fat

He can work on that this offseason. Twins time is now!

My buddy was pitching coach for them before taking the UGA HC job this season

You know Wes? Crazy. That was a weird situation.

Sweeps mean no games at all for two days.

Yeah, we grew up playing ball together. His dad coached our All-Star team…great guy…RIP. Lost touch w/ him around HS when I moved but ran into him in our college years when he was waiting tables. Had no idea he got into the physics of pitching (he was never a pitcher BTW) and coached at Dallas Baptist before launching his pitching coach career in the SEC.

This is the time of year where the regular season doesn’t mean squat. No matter how much Team A dominated Team B over the 162-game schedule….it’s meaningless now.

Correct. The sample size gets for smaller and it becomes a crapshoot. Anyone crowning Atlanta already probably hasn't been paying attention over the years.

Twins came to play so far. Knock on wood. Would be nice to snag a win on the road here.

Baltimore is done, Texas is hot, and my Braves looked pathetic. And the fans were terrible for throwing trash on the field.

I guess the only thing America can settle for is the Minnesota Twins winning the whole damn thing

Braves fans are UGA fans….insufferable

Huge victory for Phillies yesterday. Tomorrow is a big game 2.

Twins fans are U of Minnesota fans. North and South Dakota University fans. Please let us have this.

The Minnesota Twins are America's team this fall

Watch a catch by Harris for the Braves last night. Not the best throw in but the infielders were paying attention. And doubled up Harper. Ahhh could happen to a better person.

That was one hell of a game

 

[NorthDakota]

How much longer do you guys think MLB will use umpires for balls and strikes?

 

[irishff1014]

My Braves are playing like the Irish ugh

Arcia has hopefully learned his lesson. Wait until the press is gone before popping off. He got Harper’s attention & Bryce answered emphatically w/ his bat. Damn.

All these players just need to shut the fuck up.

When they ruled Moreno’s HR foul, I told my son “After all that he’ll probably end up hitting a bomb anyways”

And he did. The Fat Lady has sung on the Dodgers.

I love it when sports isn't the sanitized swill the TV execs want to shove down our throats.

Let them trash talk, let them go at each other like heavyweight boxers.
