GDT: 2017 AL Wild Card Game: (WC1) New York Yankees vs (WC2) Minnesota Twins

[KaylaJ]

Rofl the hate on Jessica Mendoza is always over the top and has always been there for many years. Is she really that bad? Sports fans will complain about any woman in broadcasting. "That Pam Ward." "That Beth Mowins."

As a female who once wanted to be a sportscaster I have wanted her to succeed and can only imagine the hatred she is getting directed to her on Twitter just for being a woman. That said, she and the rest of this crew are boring with no chemistry. I gave her a pass for a long time, but she still says things that are such head scratchers like "this is not the Aaron Judge you see, he hits homers".


And ESPN will def keep bad announcers around, just look how long of a rope Schilling got.

ESPN also had massive layoffs...

Yes, I know. They've also laid off quite a few reporters that weren't that good.


NEWays, Sanchez just got 3 balls

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Ouf, that's going to sting for Sanchez.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Big walk. Went too far with Robertson.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Mauer has no power.

 

[TorMenT]

Coming up on 3 hours for this game, and it's only entering the bottom of the 6th...

Do you really have anything better to do?

Want the Twinkies cause they're the underdg, but NY's bullpen will lock this down.

I could go to sleep but something is just keeping me awake

 

[Belieber]

Twins ran into a once in a lifetime bullpen. No other pen in history has had a guy like Robertson avaialable to pitch in the 4th inning in a playoff game with no sacrifice to the late inning quality.

 

[John Price]

Man Sterling got me excited there, but it was foul.

 

[John Price]

Yankees with another one. 8-4.

 

[KaylaJ]

geez, what rotten luck for MN

Twins are here by default. The rest of the AL is garbage. The NL Wild Card this year is more legit and should be pretty good tomorrow.

Watering down the Wild Card just isn't going to work every year.

 

[Del Preston]

Can't remember the last time I saw someone overrun the bag.

 

[Terry Yake]

too bad the twins pitching is garbage. it was pretty obvious they were going to blow that 3-0 lead

 

[BMOK33]

I wonder if the Yankees will do one of their weak this isn't what we want celebrations. They used to barely celebrate after winning the LDS

 

[rangerssharks414]

I know that the Yankees have a really good bullpen, but to allow one run while getting 26 outs is really impressive.

 

[KaylaJ]

I was hoping Chapman would provide us with a bit of late game theatrics, oh well.

 

[BMOK33]

LOL. The giants celebrated more last year after winning 2 World Series in 3 years

I know that the Yankees have a really good bullpen, but to allow one run while getting 26 outs is really impressive.

And even that one run came on a near-double play where the lead baserunner BARELY beat the throw.

Has nothing to do with being a female. She's annoying and adds nothing.

 

[darko]

Severino looked scared as **** during the mound meeting. ****in great, the future ace is a postseason choker

Right .... based on 1 start lol.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

And even that one run came on a near-double play where the lead baserunner BARELY beat the throw.

Buxton beat it pretty comfortably but the point still stands. Twins hitters just couldn't adjust after Severino left. Swinging at a lot of junk and trying to tie the game up with one swing. Yankees v Indians should be good though.

Really?
