9/26/24 1:10PM Rays @ Tigers

Marlins with 1st and 3rd with 1 out. That should have been as easy score if the baserunning wasn't dozing.

[Sports_Freak]

So Detroit sweeps WSox, Twins sweep Baltimore and KC loses 2 of 3 in Atlanta. Tigers would get the #1 WC spot.

Come on Dane Myers…. Can the former Tiger farmhand do us a solid?

[gehringer_2]

Ump wants this game over.

"the all star Castro makes the play".

Yep, and KC losing even 1 of 3 would be enough if Detroit and Twins both sweep.

Add base running as a serious Marlins flaw.

Norby is player of the game for the Twins.

[IdahoBert]

The girls blowing kisses just now was the best part of this terrible game. 

[lordstanley]

On to the 13th with the boo birds out after the Twins botch a bunt play about as bad one can botch it.

[chasfh]

Wow, Marlins got two outs on the first pitch of the 12th! When else you gonna see that!

And they got the third out in a hurry, too. Hope that’s momentum for them.

[IdahoBert]

Top of the lucky 13th inning

[IdahoBert]

Let’s go, Marlins clap, clap, clap, clap clap

Let’s go, Marlins clap, clap, clap, clap clap

[JackMorrisStache]

So you’re telling me there’s a chance…..

[lordstanley]

Blewett is an odd name for a relief pitcher. 6-5 Marlins, still batting.

[Kamakzie]

6-5 Fish

[lordstanley]

Can't even get Norby out, who was 0 for 6 with 5 strikeouts. Bases loaded, 2 out, Marlins have a chance to get likely-needed insurance when this relief pitcher comes in.

[chasfh]

I think Blewett was tipping.

[IdahoBert]

The Marlins announcers just said this was the last guy in the Twins bullpen that they’re sending up there. 

[gehringer_2]

Regardless of the outcome tonight, the Twins are going to be so out of gas after this series they will get swept by the O's

[chasfh]

GO FISH!

[lordstanley]

8-5 Marlins! Still not 100% safe, but looking good.

[IdahoBert]

8-5

[gehringer_2]

8.

Is 8 enough?

[lordstanley]

Must be depressing to be a Twins fan sitting in the stands approaching 11pm local time, having invested 13 innings into it, seeing the Twins fall 3 runs down with season on life support.
