Lopez is just really good y'all, that's why yesterday was so important. He is their guy. They gave up a .350 hitter for him
You've been raving all night about how good Lopez is, as if every other pitcher hasn't shoved against this lineup at MMP all season.

He's a near-4-ERA guy that nobody had ever even heard of before tonight. We just can't hit the ball for **** at home


He's an ace for sure. Their best pitcher

Just sucks our ace is as inconsistent as they come at home

Twins manager making adjustments based on what's happening during the game while Dusty just sits there letting Maldy bat in a critical spot down 5 ... smfh

At this point I don't know what to expect from Diaz because he has had so few ABs the last 3 weeks

I wonder how many teams have had a catcher that hit .282 on the season with 23 HR sit the bench for the first two playoff games.


I'll answer: One

Absolutely no reason to not pinch hit for the marshmallow man that inning, the twins have used him to kill a rally twice tonight.

Yall are blind. I want Diaz in just as much as anyone here. But we had a runner on second with one out and the top of our lineup up. Maldy didn't do his job. But he absolutely didn't kill a rally. If our big guys are "hitting" like they are so far, it doesn't matter who's catching.
More than one thing can be true at the same time. Dusty shat the bed on this one regardless of what did or didn't happen next.

It is still possible for us to win in spite of his managing... but we are being severely handicapped by it.

Again, all things that pitchers have done against this lineup all season at MMP. Does he have good stuff? Of course. It's the ALDS… every starter has legit stuff at this stage

For those watching at home, is he just locating his fastball really well? Because we can't seem to touch it
Yes, he is dotting everything, including the secondary pitches. Hitters can't sit on anything or they are behind 0-1 almost every at bat

Its really hard when you are playing 8vs9 players

Also **** dusty baker


There's more than 1 black hole in the lineup right now.

Breggy and Chas have been swinging pool noodles for the last 20 games or so

You don't understand how happy I will be when they pan to our dugout and I don't see toothpick man sitting there looking puzzled

Stare at the FB because you don't know it's coming and swing at the change off the plate.

That's just guessing.

that's what Yordon was looking for then he just threw a nasty off speed. He's got us totally guessing

Abreu just ensured we'll see Lopez again in the 7th.

If I'm the twins, I'd pull Lopez at 88 pitches.

If he's able to go in a game 5 that would be huge for them

The one thing Abreu couldn't do…. Had to see 3 or 4 pitches to get the bullpen next inning

This may be the best game a pitcher has had against us all season. Certainly top 3.

Let's run Diaz off the bench to punch Lopez in the face. If he doesn't get to bat at least be useful.

Lopez will be on full rest if we trip into a game 5.

Astros have made many pitchers look amazing at MMP this year.

Just an absolute **** approach from Abreu. You have to have a 4-6 pitch AB so that we try bc and get him out. Pop up first pitch and now he's coming back for the 7th

The home split was essential. Tonight would've been gravy
