Everything is coming up #MNTwins tonight. • White Sox lost so MN is atop Central and their magic number is 3. • Yankees lost so MN magic number for home field is 1. • Also, if MN wins the Central they won’t face Yankees in either of the first two rounds of playoffs.

Just to pile on to that called 3rd strike, it was a 2-2 count. Ump has every incentive to let the batter and pitcher resolve that at-bat themselves at 3-2 and not insert himself into it. Far more often in that situation a close strike is called a ball. Just egregious.

One reason for the #MNTwins to chase Kimbrel: nobody in the bullpen is quite good enough for their slot. Rogers isn’t quite good enough to be the best bullpen arm. Hildy & Parker aren’t quite good enough to be 2nd/3rd best. And so on. Kimbrel fixes lots of problems, not just one.
