To get peripherally back to the game, don't you wish that TD would do an alternate TD logo on the Jays jerseys?
like..... blue

Anybody else have a feeling the Twins are gonna blow this?  Hope I'm wrong.  Big Orioles fan here, but the Twins have to break the streak.
shortstop
6:52
at least the TD logo isn't in Phillies colors
Ben Clemens

I actually think that would look better. But yeah, presumably Steve Cohen fired the person who came up with that patch idea

Brewers-D-Backs on tap shortly. AZ went 4-2 vs MIL this year. Zac Gallen allowed one run over 14 innings in two starts.

Brandon Pfaadt getting the start is really cool for the country's likely ability to pronounce his name

If the Twins hang on, they should celebrate like they just won game 7 of the WS
Ben Clemens

That would be incredible, as would hearing A Rod's reaction

Serious question about roster locks.  What's the timeline for teams to submit their rosters for each playoff series?

I'ma ctually not sure th exact deadline

I hate to admit it, but I really have no idea how to say Pfaadt. Help me please
Ben Clemens

"Fought"

Brandon Pfaadt the law and the law won

I always say Brandon Fart in my head. With respect, though.

Steve Sharts respect knuckles

David, I just realized we picked the same World Series matchup and winner
Quite a coincidence

Vladdy keep your helmet on, difficulty: impossible

A Rod just described "a)striking out and b)not getting the runner over to third" as "double negative"
I can't find the confused meme I want, but...

thankfully I can't listen, but the Twins' site I follow sure isn't in love with AROD's announcing (I'm guessing no one is, but....)

Jax had three appearances versus the Jays in regular season. Went one scoreless inning in each. One hit allowed (Varsho). No walks, two Ks.
Ben Clemens

This secret pitching matchup series is living up to its billing so far
Jax looked awesome there

That strike also wasn't a HR and didn't cure cancer, so, kind of a quadruple negative if you think about it

This has to be the first time a team opened a playoff series with a pitcher with a 3-9 record and a high FIP.
Ben Clemens
7:01
The exigencies of making the playoffs and the fact that more bad teams are making it now combined to do this. That said, I think Pfaadt is a lot better than his stats suggest
7:03
Hicks doesn't have his fastest fastball tonight, but his movement looks exceptional
AvatarDavid Laurila

Jace Peterson replacing Jake McCarthy on AZ roster.
Paul Ehlers
7:04
Revenge game for Jace
Oddball Herrera

Pfaadt vs Burnes has to be in the neighborhood of the highest ever ERA disparity between game 1 pitchers (2.33)
Ben Clemens
7:05
That would be a fun thing to look up

Fun trivia:  Without looking, who led the AL in walks this year?
Ben Clemens
7:06
I've been looking at this one for a few minutes
7:07
I guess I would say... Semien? I just know he gets so many PA's. I truly don't know
7:08
Wow shocking one!

How come we dont get baseball movies anymore?  I realize all the baseball movies I liked as a kid where from previous decades.  You had kids baseball movies, comedy baseball, serious baseball.  Now you get like 1 a decade and a couple documentaries and direct to stream movies.

Because movies are all IP and sequels now
