    2-run bomb for Lewis in the 1st.

    Twins up 2-0

    [swing looked like Pena last postseason, hands in and turning on inside pitch]

    4-0 Rangers over The Rays in the 8th. Since I’m assuming The Rays would have home field vs The Astros based on record, screw it. Go Rangers.

    I think division winners get the home field advantage over wild card teams regardless of record.

    If they don’t sent Montgomery back out there, I’ll be shocked.

    Correct. Only Baltimore would have homefield advantage over the Astros in the AL.

    Or just do away with divisions.

    If you're gonna have divisions then it has to mean something for winning one.

    i hope the astros pitching staff have a gameplan against royce because the last time royce played houston, he came through the clutch multiple times.

    He crushed that 2nd one. Not a bad start to a postseason career.

    It does seem odd NL gets primetime while AL gets afternoon.

    There's no alternating at all.

    With Lewis missing 3 months, Twins are now better than their record.

    OPS .921 this season and .867 his rookie year

    This is the insightful discourse I came to this thread for :)

    (The way, no way back and forth that is).
