Ugly at bats for 3 straight games. And we should be happy they won a game they will lose 99 times out of 100? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casimir Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Just now, gehringer_2 said: split with the predicted division winner. Disappointing given they should have won one yesterday, but not a complete disaster. In the macro, take the odd numbered of games series, split the even numbered of games series. That’ll get a team into the playoffs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtutiger Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Feels like their biggest win of the year, and unlike the one in Pittsburgh, it feels like they actually instigated the comeback. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, well placed ground balls. Right at the Twins left side of the infield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordstanley Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 This makes up for coughing up yesterday's Game 1. So both teams in this series let one get away. Given that, a 4-game split seems fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, and the loud canned cheering during commercial breaks on the At Bat app, makes the experience significantly worse than past years.

Maybe, maybe not... sometimes you BABIP, or you get BABIPed. Thats the sport. Either way, Javy and Tork showed a little bit in their finals ABs imo. Javy for showing a little power, Tork for actually displaying some situational awareness for a change.. Nothing wrong with being happy about that Edited April 14 by mtutiger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with being happy about that Yeah, Tork, a dead pull hitter just blooping a hit to RF. It was actually a very good piece of hitting. Well done. But the Twins defense handed us the game, Canha's 2 run hit was a missed DP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, at the end of the season, they only count the victories, not how they were won. We do need to clean up our at bat approach though. Can't count on getting this lucky too many times. Our pitching and defense looks pretty good, for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdahoBert Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I didn’t watch this game, but my understanding is that the Baez homer came on a ball that was actually in the strike zone. I like this “one weird trick” of swinging at balls in the strike zone. Even if it’s something casinos want to stop you from doing, but can’t. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
