Twins trying to stay out of the double steal that embarrassed them a couple weeks ago

[mickeymental]

it's getting late early out there ...

[amjgt]

I see that the break didn't help Polanco's patheticness

[jimmer]

Astros do NOT have the best record in baseball.

[twinsbaby]

Berrios is another overhyped player like Buxton. He will look good in SSS but not long-term.

Granite has a weenie arm, apparently.

 

[jimmer]

Correa is up, but it doesn't get easier after that cause McCann is after and he's a 'veteran' hitter.

 

Yeah, okay.  

 

Regardless of how McCann does, It DOES get easier since Correa is a much better hitter than McCann.

I thought Revere was back out in LF when I saw that throw.

[PDX Twin]

Keep thinking: Berrios will be a better pitcher next year for games like this one.

The commentating is a joke right now.  Stick your head further in the sand Hunter

[amjgt]

Why are we pulling Jose here?

[jimmer]

Things are about to get much better.  Hughes is coming in.

[Blake]

 

Nothing like staring at blank page with no plan whatsoever. 

Desperation is it's own special motivation.

[amjgt]

It doesn't get any easier after McCann

[jimmer]

Hughes has BEEN an effective reliever before and hasn't been a starter his whole career.

[Riverbrian]

For those of you scoring at home. 

 

So far the Polanco boot cost us 5 runs... Could be more

 

It also cost Jose Berrios 31 extra pitches. That won't be more because he has been pulled. 

 

Later it will probably cost us a rested bullpen and maybe Granite or Vargas a Major league spot when they need to call up another pitcher. 

 

Ouch

[h2oface]

Shame. Berrios can be rattled pretty easily, at least today. It seemed he lost all his touch and had no action. Yes, Polanco started it, but an ace will overcome. Houston is killing this team. And all the other teams. We are not alone. But this is why you don't go all in this year, and sell off too much talent for one pitcher that can get hurt or start sucking, anyway.

[Intramural Legend]

Over / Under 20 runs given up today?

[mickeymental]

gimenez for the win?

[jimmer]

Veterans have 'secrets of the game' that nobody knows about.  Astros are winning cause of the veterans.

Seriously? One bad outing against the best batting team in baseball and now you're giving up on him long-term?

[Blake]

I would like to see more of Adrianza. 

[jimmer]

The word for tonight is 'Veteran'

[amjgt]

Torii acting like having 1st rounders on your MLB squad is luck

[Mike Sixel]

Why do you listen to the announcers? I usually put good music on during tv sports.

[jimmer]

McCann hits that HR cause Hughes is pitching and because McCann is a veteran

[twinsbaby]

After first 2 start, Berrios had Gibson-line advanced stats. 

[amjgt]

Nothing like coming into a game where everything you do is unearned, right Phil?

[Riverbrian]

It's not often you see an 8 run error. I'm going to mark down where I was. 

 

 

[Aggies7]

Boy I hope we're buyers at the deadline. What an embarrassing joke this staff is.
