Never thought I'd see someone try to equate taking a knee to non-POC using the n-word, but here we are...

The Twins have a 0% chance of beating the Yankees. Unfortunate because the Twinkies have had Cleveland's number all year long. Anything can happen in one game. Yankees won the season series 4-2, losing a series in Min 2 games to 1 earlier in the year, and obviously sweeping them in NY a couple weeks ago. That's really not all that lopsided. The Twins also just got Miguel Sano back in the lineup, who had missed the series in Yankee Stadium. Also, I'm just gonna bump this post from last night that got buried under all the celebratory posting. Just dreaming of a world where the Twins knock out the Yankees in the WC game. Would be glorious. Expected starters for that game: Ervin Santana vs. NYY 9/18 5.2IP 7H 2ER 1BB 3K Luis Severino vs. MIN 9/20 3IP 5H 3ER 1BB 3K

Care to explain why you think that or are you satisfied just being snarky? Is it because Price is too valuable a weapon out of the pen? Because you don't see any possible way that he won't be needed in 1, 2, or 4? Because he won't be stretched out enough to throw 60 pitches? Or because you're comfortable with Fister and/or Porcello pitching to that fearsome lineup? Any one of those would be a reasonable answer if backed up by some actual thought. (Ok, maybe the last one wouldn't be reasonable. Nobody would feel good about Porcello or Fister pitching to that fearsome lineup, since 1.) neither is very good and 2.) the 'Stros just saw the Fist.) The 'Stros put up a team OPS-plus of 129, not counting pitchers. That's the same as the '76 Reds. It means their hitters perform on average at a HOF level. The one about him not being stretched out. A week ago you could have maybe seen a possibility, since he was coming off his longest relief outing (2.2IP, 40 pitches) but since then he went 1.1IP - 21 pitches on Wed, 1.2IP - 24 pitches yesterday, and 1IP - 14 pitches today. His outings have trended toward shorter and more frequent, going less than 2 innings and pitching on back-to-back days, including 3 out of 4. He's in the pen until next year.

Is it out of the question that Price could start a game 3 against the Astros? Yes.

Please tell me Sale is NOT starting tomorrow. He's not. It will be Velazquez.

I've got a beer out, but the champagne stays chilled until it's official. How about an ice cold Schaefer beer. Keeping it Boston, Sam Adams.

Does any of this stuff ever happen with any other manager than John Farrell?

Nice to see Holt not being a negative all the time.

Nice piece of hitting, going the other way with that. Hope it breaks JBJ out of his slump.

Alright, lets get Pom some runs now so we can get him outta there after another inning or two. This shaped up nicely. I'll follow it up with a request for three strong innings from the back of the pen to close this one out.

Strong outing by Drew. Hopefully a preview of game 2 in HOU next week.

CV and Leon making some nice throws this week could be big for having runners thinking twice next week.

Anyone really surprised it takes an error for us to push one across? Is that one good enough for ya?
