Wild Card Game Thread -- Non Pro-MFY Version

[soxin6]

That squander is probably going to come back to haunt the Twins

 

[Al Zarilla]

A wee squander. 3-0 wasn't expected tho,

 

[kelpapa]

I can’t wait to hear the Bronx cheer erupt when the reliever gets his first out.

Sounded like they won the first inning after the last out.

 

[uncannymanny]

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

It's a great start and it's good to get Severino out of there. But there is no way in hell that 3 runs will be enough to win this game.

 

[Devizier]

Back half of the Twins lineup might actually be worse than the Sox's.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Buxton should have bunted

 

[uncannymanny]

Love that the Yankees will have burned Green so early

 

[scottyno]

Santana vastly outperformed his peripherals all year, he's not a good pitcher, this game is far from over

 

[staz]

Every time a team goes up 3-0 early in a playoff game, I'm hard wired to recall Game 7, '75 WS.

It's a goddamned scourge.

 

[Al Zarilla]

I didn't know Santana had that good of a season. Maybe he can do 2 runs, 7 innings.

 

[luckysox]

Feels like the MFY will put up 5 here and I'm not kidding.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Green is a real nice luxury for Girardi. A high quality reliever who routinely can go 40 plus pitches. Seven times this year, and once over 50.

Many teams would be stuck piecing innings together, but Green can easily get them through the fourth.

 

[canderson]

Get someone warming ........

 

[brandonchristensen]

Feels like the MFY will put up 5 here and I'm not kidding.

Judge sets the tone here.

 

[MJM2344]

Classic 6 pitch walk without swinging for Gardner.

 

[mauidano]

Walking the Lead Pipe in front of Frankenstein is not helping there Earvin.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Every time a team goes up 3-0 early in a playoff game, I'm hard wired to recall Game 7, '75 WS.

First thing I thought of

Second thing I thought of was Game 7 in 86

 

[uncannymanny]

By grounding into a dp

 

[Al Zarilla]

Bad Santana, bad.

 

[timelysarcasm]

Bighead never wants to swing when he gets like, 2 balls on him. You can see him just trying to walk. I don't know why teams don't throw him strikes.

 

[MikeM]

Zero faith in Santana holding on to this

 

[canderson]

Santana with no control in this stadium is a match in a gascan.

 

[TFisNEXT]

Well this will prob at least tied before the inning is over.

 

[BigSoxFan]

At least Twins will lose 8-3 instead of 8-0

 

[Bergs]

Zero faith in Santana holding on to this

No doubt.

 

[soxhop411]

This game is far from Grover. Santana sucks

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Judge with an at-bat that wasn't a HR, K or BB...shocking

 

[mauidano]

Zero faith in Santana holding on to this

That lead off walk is going to hurt him in 3,2,1.

 

[Devizier]

That was a pretty good pitch

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

It's going to suck watching the Twins roll over and show the Yankees their belly all night long to the ecstatic bleating of the ESPN booth.

 

[TFisNEXT]

Need a GIDP.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Zero faith in Santana holding on to this

I mean, the Twins always lose 3-0 or 3-1 to the MFY. This start should have been a huge plus. So, go ahead and piss it away.

 

[TFisNEXT]

Wow. Huge out.

 

[rymflaherty]

I'm already getting anxious watching this, and I'm just rooting against the Yanks. I don't think I'm ready for Thursday.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

This game is going to take five hours

 

[Sprowl]

Double play, please, if you would be so kind.

 

[NJ_Sox_Fan]

Did you throw some money at the Twins and the over, too?

Just Twins ML

 

[mauidano]

Santana does not have control either

 

[dhappy42]

Bad framing lost that strike

 

[TFisNEXT]

Tied.

 

[Boston Brawler]

Fuck

 

[Bergs]

Lol

 

[uncannymanny]

LOL

 

[AimingForYoko]

knew that was coming sigh

 

[brandonchristensen]

ROBOT UMPS!!!

 

[kelpapa]

Of course

 

[timelysarcasm]

Man, that is a killer. All momentum is gone.

 

[MJM2344]

Fun while it lasted.

 

[mauidano]

As expected.
