Wild Card Game Thread -- Non Pro-MFY Version
- Thread starter E5 Yaz
- Start date
I doubt there's a single Twin who genuinely believes they are going to win this game. They all came into the game thinking, "nobody gave us a chance" and "we'll show them," and when they got up, they actually started to believe it. But that is totally gone now. They all know exactly what we know: "Everyone was right all along."
Nah, they'll score some more. The miracle would be keeping the other guys in single digits
Since there's no guarantee Santana is coming back out, now I'm wondering if there's ever been a playoff game where neither Starter made it to the second inning...
For Twins fans, watching them play the MFY's is similar to Patriots fans watching them play the Dolphins in Miami pre AFCCG 1986; they find new and inventive ways to blow games and torture their fans.
I'd like to think professional athletes have a better mindset in the moment than this.
Isn't that really the only reason we're all watching? I mean, every one of us knows what is going to happen. The only question is how.
This is a million times worse than if it were just 0-0 with both starters in the game. They know that whatever they do won't matter.
Santana coming back out? Molitor apparently part of the John Farrell school of bullpen management.
We're all just watching to see how the twinkies blow it. They already shat down their leg with a 3-0 lead (including the hitters not getting those additional runs home). The only question now is are we watching them get blown out or will it be the classic "Twins take a 5-4 lead in the 6th only to gag up 3 in the 7th and then squander a huge scoring threat in the 8th" narrative that is typical for them against MFY.
Good catch, but JBJ probably would have already been standing under that one when it came down.
Whoah-whoah-whoah: Buxton is not better than JBJ, and JBJ makes that catch look much easier. And now they're dissing JBJ by not even mentioning him? How's Buxton's arm?
