Game Thread Twins vs. Astros 5/30 @ 7:10 CT

[Aggies7]

Absolute nonsensical strike 2 call

[Danchat]

 

I like seeing Wheeler's family. Anyone remember when Rosario's family was there for his first game, and he goes and hits a home run right away? That was probably my favorite.

I saw that one live, it is still one of my favorite Twins moments.

[Aggies7]

Agree? Like? Concur?

You just do you, man

[yarnivek1972]

Rosario should have had that energy bar a couple innings ago.

[LaBombo]

 

What in gods name is altuve hitting against the twins? Like .650?

 

Try not to think of him as even having a batting average against the Twins, and instead just think of it positively: "Remember that time the Twins got Altuve out?"

Bring us out of this slump, marney

[Puckett34]

 

I think it's just a shade over .800

.453, .800  Close enough

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Adrianza makes the play, a few innings too late

[Aggies7]

So basically, the twins had one decent offensive inning. And fiers basically gifted them a couple runs with walks and a wild pitch. But who's counting

[snepp]

 

So what changed?

 

Wheeler is OK down by 3 but not up by 6

 

Molitor realized his mistake yesterday?

 

Falvey pointed out his mistake yesterday?

 

Molitor just can't throw another inning of his guys?

 

Molitor doesn't care anymore? 

 

Yes.

[yarnivek1972]

Apparently, there is no such thing as an error anymore.

Probably whoever started our tab when the Twins lost the lead...

Castro loses another strike

Let's just get it all out of our system, and come back strong tomorrow. 

[Aggies7]

Altuve on base again. Floored

[LaBombo]

Mauer's had a great year in the field, but you could hear the ball clank against his Gold Glove on the one-hopper from Polanco.

[yarnivek1972]

That should be E6 all the way.

[Riverbrian]

Let him finish Paul

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

two runs in the ninth off Wheeler,

 

that cuts the Twins lead to 8-4

[Aggies7]

Man the astros are taking a big poop all over us, to the surprise of no one.

[snepp]

[LaBombo]

Agreed.

I hope that the Twins players are watching closely and learning things from the Astros players and how they go about their business.

I don't know that you can "learn" talent.

I am too tired to read the entire thread. Has any reason been given for not playing Sano?

I think a 24 hour bug. The rest of us have had about a 48 hour one

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

 

Agreed.

A laughed out loud at that one

 

Or did I have a cathartic laugh-cry? 

 

Hard to tell the difference anymore

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Jason Castro with a timely extra base hit!

[Mike Sixel]

6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 7 K for Fernando Romero tonight.

 

So tonight hasn't been all bad.

 

So, three, four , more years before Molitor trusts him?
