Long Live Jeff Frye

5:15

If this game goes deep into extra innings, would you think at all (regarding pitcher usage) about the next series or just try to do everything you can to win this one?

Jeff Sullivan

5:16

Not a single thought for the next game. You have to win. It's the highest-leverage game of the entire season

Travis Sawchik

5:16

And I love the bat in the lineup

Jart

5:16

My stream has russian commentary. their tone didn't change at all with the HR because they probably don't know what's going on

Travis Sawchik

5:16

Isn't Dozier supposed to be on the Dodgers?

Jeff Sullivan

5:17

Or they knew it was going to happen because the Russians have scripted this to the final pitch

Mike

5:17

What’s the win expectancy of a lead off home run

Jeff Sullivan

5:17

Roughly +10%

Chris G

5:17

The sound of the bat on ball is always beautiful during the playoffs

Jeff Sullivan

5:17

15 pitches in, a mound visit. Warm up the bullpen!

Travis Sawchik

5:17

I swear that sound is heightened ... on-field mics?

David Kagan

5:18

Does Servino always keep the ball up like he has?

Travis Sawchik

5:18

Severino looks like he might be over amped as they say. Didi came out for a visit to apparently try to settle him

Jeff Sullivan

5:18

Usually throws upper-half fastballs but he tends to control his other stuff better than this

Tyler

5:19

How is Sano not on this roster he can pinch hit.

Jeff Sullivan

5:19

He hurts

!!!!!!!

Travis Sawchik

5:19

hey, remember when Girardi was asked about bullpen-ing this game?

Show Hey O'Tawny

5:19

I’m sure we all predicted this

Adam

5:19

welllllllllllllllllllll crap

ChatzMcGee

5:19

Well... Twins it is.

Jeff Sullivan

5:20

Good sliders generally aren't thrown middle-middle

Travis Sawchik

5:20

Distance on the Rosario HR: 336 feet

Jeff Sullivan

Chad Green throwing in the bullpen

It's happening

Kyle

5:20

Bring in the Chad!

Show Hey O'Tawny

5:21

Loving the close up of Chad Green on ESPN. They know what’s up

Jeff Sullivan

5:21

I'm just glad to see Green getting his recognition. He was about as good as the best relievers in the whole entire world

Christian

5:21

What's you opinion of the ESPN strike zone box they have on their broadcasts? I really like it but people on Twitter are complaining about it.

Jeff Sullivan

5:21

I hate it with the off-center camera angle, but I get why it's there

JHey

5:22

I can't wait for the twins to win the World Series

Factory of Sadness

5:23

If Severino gets yanked early and the Yankees somehow mount a comeback, what's the earliest he could possibly pitch against Cleveland? Asking for a friend who always assumes the worst.

Travis Sawchik

5:23

Kill the off-center camera angle

Jeff Sullivan

5:23

I think he'd be good for Game 2

If he were yanked soon

Travis Sawchik

5:23

How many pitches? Right now ... Game 2

At work

5:23

Twins have been crushing the ball since early august. This is not surprising to any twins fans

Jeff Sullivan

5:23

This time, though, they're facing a good pitcher

Travis Sawchik

5:23

I'd guess we see him on full rest in Game 3 ... unless he's out very quickly

Playoff baseball is better on the radio. Anticipation while waiting for the PbP to explain the result is amazing. Also, connects you back to how the support was consumed decades ago. Not a question, just a fact.

Connecting…
