Game Thread: Twins @ Astros, 7/15 @ 6:10 CT

[glunn]

I just got off a conference call to see that we are winning.  Go Twins.  Now off for dinner.

Mitch Garver might look good in this spot.

[Aggies7]

Polanco: 13 for his last 91 (.142) since June 15

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Castro the Framer, giving the ump some lip about a close pitch that rung him up

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Gotta be a nerve wracking spot for him here

[FlauerPauer]

What do the Twins do with Polanco... He is brutal right now.

[Aggies7]

We shouldn't have scored this inning.

[jun]

Escobar would look very good at SS tonight, Polanco has a DP (3 on), strikeout (3 on) and a worthless bunt single (0 on) so far.

Stop playing him every game, I would think.

[Aggies7]

Brutal.

[Aggies7]

Not one guy got the ball out of the infield in 3 cracks. Our situational hitting blows.

[h2oface]

Like a Rock. Such a spark.

Dozier having no protection behind him showed up there as well.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Hold on tight to this lead!

[jun]

I wonder why Polanco did not bunt when 3 on and none out twice.

[Aggies7]

Because a ML hitter shouldn't have to do that.

Next pitcher up?   Dillon Gee threw 7 shutout innings tonight at Rochester.  Has yet to give up a run in 15 innings.   

[FlauerPauer]

Ok. One more Santana.

I'd rather see him than Colon.

[Danchat]

Of course, the only hit with the bases-loaded was the twins got was a complete gift. Garbage RISP PAs so far.

[wavedog]

Good play by Polanco there.

[Aggies7]

Nice job by erv

[jun]

Granite should not bat second and Polanco should not start.

[FlauerPauer]

That was a great effort by Santana.

Gotta make a spot in Rochester for Kohl Stewart so they can make a spot in Chattanooga for Tom Hackimer.

[jun]

This Duffey man again, geez. One of the worst relievers lately. I guess Molitor just keeps running his men (Polanco and Duffey) out there no matter what.

[Halsey Hall]

I'm still not a Castro fan.

[Aggies7]

Here we go wth duffey again.

[Aggies7]

Duffey is toast

[mickeymental]

a walk is a walk but my pitch tracker showed all five pitches to correa touching the strike zone.
