GDT: 2019 ALDS: (2) New York Yankees vs (3) Minnesota Twins - NYY win 3-0

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Yankees in 4.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Yanks. They have the best chance in the al to beat Houston.

Yanks MUST protect homefield given the Twins road record since the All Star break. They have not lost a series since early July. For whatever reason, when they play in stadiums not named Target Field, they're superheroes.

 

[Kim Gordon]

Paxton being a LHP will get clownpounded in game 1 and I don't know if the Yankees have the pitching to win 3 out of 4 after giving up home field advantage

You’re not allowed to say clownpounded to refer to the Yankees negatively.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

All I know is that game 1 better be a homerfest just like the WC game last time they met.

 

[John Price]

Would probably throw 3 picks

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Go Twins GOOOOOOOOO

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Would probably throw 3 picks

Gotta love Fox reporting...

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Sano strikes out to end the inning, but Jorge Polanco stakes Jose Berrios and the Twins to a 1-0 lead as he hits one off the Big Maple Leaf, James Paxton.

Let's go Berrios....murderous lineup coming up!

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

A Stantonian...infield single....will be overturned.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Overturn indeed....

Inning over, Minnesota retains the lead.... Twins back to the plate!

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Super utility man Marwin Gonzalez with a solid double off Paxton.
Twins with another threat in the 2nd.

Former Ray CJ Cron at the plate trying to cash in Gonzalez.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

f*** Paxton. How are the Yankees already down?

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Unbelievable. LeMahieu blows the pop up.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Yankees' 1st baseman with a gaffe....dropped ball...
Can the Twins take advantage????

Men on 1st and 2nd now, 1 out.... Luis Arrrrrrrraez at the plate...

 

[JWK]

My man

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

LeMahieu breathes a sigh of relief.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Wow...
Double play bails out both LeMehieu and Paxton.
Inning over, Twins still at just 1-0

Yanks coming up in the 2nd

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

Initial thoughts...

- Hell of a play by Sano to get Stanton at first
- DJ dropping that pop up is little league lol
- Paxton gets out of the jam with a yuuuge double play

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Liked what I saw from Berrios in the first inning.
If he is locked in, the Yankees could be in for a long night.

Last time Berrios pitched in a playoff game in NY, he got battered pretty good...but he was a skinnier, greener pitcher back then.
Has grown by leaps n bounds since.

Let's go Jose!!

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
Nelly Bomb!!!

2-0 Twins!

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Noooooooooooooooooo…..
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraez...couldn't make the play!

Bloop single for DJ LeMehieu to lead off the 3rd for NY.

Berrios dealing now with Aaron Judge with a man on.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

EE destroys a ball...foul.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Edwin Encarnacion just missed a 3-run parrot trot...loud foul ball.
But he does come up with a crack double to score the Yanks 1st run.

Runners at 2nd and 3rd, one out, Stanton at the plate, Twins still hold the 2-1 lead.

Hopefully, Berrios can bear down here.
Show what he is made of.

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

Berrios in some rough waters here.
Gave up the lead.. 3-2 Yanks now...

Cmon, Yankees...quit cheating...what's with this small ball stuff...hit home runs like real men!!!

Anyways...Twins have action in their bullpen already.
Cmon, Jose...you can finish this inning
