The twins had 3 of their regulars out tonight and they barely beat them.  Who were the Sox missing?

I’m sure they’ll put an asterisk next to the sox division championship for the poor Twinkies.

I was poop your pants scared.

Ok ?, I'm just referring to the fact the Sox can't expect a run outage like tonight for the rest of the series.

Overall we have way better players than the Twins.  Not too worried about them going forward.

Nelson Cruz with 9 men left on base tonight. 

Can field his own team.

Sox are w/o a competent DH & RF.  Sox are playing 7 on 9 on offense.  I don’t care whose starters might be out on a certain night.

Hence my original comment about line up adjustments.  These games are far too important to not have your best players playing.

Im fine with Cease.....i think we sink or swim with EE and Mazara is done as a starter hopefully.

Eloy cant play LF

Colome is nails 

I need to find the win prediction page. Did anyone go 40? Cuz if they did, I hope they are buying us all beers with that vegas payout.

Go on their reddit page.

They're all mad that replay overturned the inside the ballpark home run. They still would have lost either way. 

That was a game we usually lose, huge win! 

That Engel at bat was great. If Ricky called for that props to him (that's just about it).

Please for the love of god bring up Collins so we can put our best lineup out there every day

Ricky just said post game that was Engel's execution. (he gives guys the green light to make those types of decisions in an at bat.  Said that they don't have to rely on a signal from him).

Well what a smart play by him. I doubt Ricky has that play call ready 

Great win. Engel with the amazing base hit. Tim Anderson, Abreu, etc. Colome nice job. Great team victory. Have to love the victory.

Only the Dodgers with a better record.  This team is for real.  We have our weaknesses...but, we have lots of ways to beat you as well.

I'll second this. The sign of a good team is winning these low scoring games. They can't hit the ball out every game.

abreu MVP in my books this year...

 

but i cant say he was good tonight... he came up twice with chances to put the game away and didnt get it done.

I checked the Twins subreddit and BOY they are mad about that ground rule double call.

lol it's like they all have Byron Buxton on their fantasy teams or something. 

 

So instead of putting your best defensive OF in the 9th, with a 2 run lead, Ricky decides to overthink again and leave Eloy out there playing for the tie (or more).... got it.
