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.

They have been the anti-Tigers of late…. and I love it!

McCaughan has the stat line of a guy who can easily give up three runs.

Twins are in jeopardy of losing 2 out of 3 against a terrible Miami team, at home. They're done, even if they come back. They've used their entire BP this game. And Burnes pitched for Baltimore and their BP gave up 9 runs! Take the over in the Twins-Orioles game tomorrow

8.

Is 8 enough?

Yes! Twins lose.

That wacky groundout by Correa to end this crazy game is exactly how a 100-loss team wins games! 😂

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

But the O's used their BP pretty heavily today too. And Burnes pitched so they won't have him this series.

[gehringer_2]

It's OVER. I thought I was going to have to make another pot of coffee for an all-nighter.

 

[chasfh]

Also, thank you, Derek Hill, for the catch that saved the game that got us to a magic number of one.

[lordstanley]

We saw some really bad baseball in extra innings tonight. Marlins almost blew the 1st and 3rd outs of the 13th.

[Adullin]

Finally that game went on and on. 

[Sports_Freak]

Yee-haw....Twins going into the clubhouse, making vacation plans!

Florida Man Wins

[Tigermojo]

Tigers have a chance to celebrate on the field if they win tomorrow.

[chasfh]

There’s no other way to put it: this is all magic.

[Tigermojo]

Hurter the bulk guy tomorrow?

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

My guess is Twins lose 1 or 2, Tigers win 2, KC wins 1. We end up #2 (?)

[lordstanley]

So six events - three CWS:Det and three Bal:Min - would need to go against the Tigers for the Tigers to miss the playoffs now. By my calc, even if the outcome of each of those events was a 50/50 chance, I think there'd be only a 1 in 64 chance of the Tigers missing. And a CWS @ Det event is better than a 50/50 coin flip for the Tigers.

Then again, if you had calculated the probability of the Tigers winning 85 or more on August 2 I'm going to guess it would have been worse than 1/64.

Never tell me the odds!

Just checking the board and wow you folks covering the TWINS game deserve gold stars !! But the Gold medal goes to Derek Hill and McCoskey gets to hang it on his neck and give him a kiss on the cheek. 

[IdahoBert]

The Tigers are going to go all Lawrence of Arabia on the White Sox and take no prisoners. You can book it. 
 

[Adullin]

I am all worried about the white Sox this seems to good to be true.

The moral of this story is that we can’t expect anyone else to do, what only our own team is able to accomplish. 

Not to worry.  The Tigers are going to do what they need to do.  Book it.
