Article: Game Thread: Twins v Astros, 4/9 @ 7:10pm CT

[Blake]

 

That was BS calls on Sanu. Wish he would have got in the umpires face and got ejected

Maybe we can hold out for Morrison getting ejected. 

[Riverbrian]

 

Joe swung through fastball that was ball 4 way inside, Sano doesn't know how to make contact every other night, and Rosie unsurprisingly popped up a fastball right down the middle first pitch

 

But he did dominate tonight... 

 

By every definition of domination. 

[Aggies7]

Maybe we can hold out for Morrison getting ejected.

 

From the planet, hopefully.

[Platoon]

That’s pretty horrendous, I have to say. Verlander or not. 2-3-4 big time fails

If you take into account the exit velocity of Doziers blast, it was more like 1-2-3-4

[Riverbrian]

The Ump has been pretty consistent calling that ball outside the zone in that location a strike. 

 

Smart pitchers keep taking what the ump is giving. 

[Squirrel]

 

She was just putting a dividing line between two sections and she forgot to add the sections. 

I forgot my commas ...

 

****, ****, ****

[Mill1634]

Nice inning from Hildy. We're gonna need him to be productive this year.

[Riverbrian]

That was good to see from Hildy. 

 

Probably felt good for him as well. 

[LaBombo]

This being his first season as a two-sport athlete, he's probably trying hard not to build a bad rep among the umpires.

It's Latin.

Haha I was thinking the same thing

[Danchat]

Is it that time of the year when the Twins Daily has been hit with spam bots? Either that, or the "Recent Blog" section of Twins Daily has had a very confused person posting about password recovery and Canon printers.

He's been calling that spot all night... Sano obviously doesn't have the awareness to cover the outer half of the plate
 

I'd love to see an ejection though

[Riverbrian]

 

Yeah, but it's Verlander, of the Tigers..once a Tiger, always a Tiger!

 

The Twins should went through with the Bengal Tiger PLAN!!! 

[Aggies7]

Aren’t they doing the grand casino commercials with the horribly unattractive people this year on fsn?

[jimmer]

 

Joe swung through fastball that was ball 4 way inside, 

Indeed he did, but that had some mean last second movement. 

 

If he would have walked, he would have been dogged out for not trying to come through in a clutch spot ;-)

Yeah, well, since I'm not an attractive person, I don't really see the problem...

It's true... Joe can never win

[Mill1634]

Morrison just hasn't been able to connect. Swinging hard, and making hard contact sometimes, but he can't hit it straight, and hard

[Blake]

You could easily be describing half the people who post here on a regular basis. You may need to be more specific.

[Aggies7]

Morrison makes me sad.

[Aggies7]

Cripes at least he was able to hit the ground with his bat

[Huddy]

Morrison is really good at this game.

[Riverbrian]

Joe knew he was coming inside. Justin beat him by coming inside more than Joe was planning on. 

 

That was good baseball played at a very high level. 

[LaBombo]

 

From the planet, hopefully.

 

Hey, we should probably slow down a little bit, and before we start launching under-performing Twins off the planet let's maybe consider the environmental impact.

no argument there.

[Aggies7]

Why did we demote Vargas?

He kinda wasn’t great either, to be fair

[Mill1634]

I have a weird feeling that the Twins are going to light the Houston bullpen up 

[jimmer]

still trying to wrap my head around all the complaints about Vargas not being on this team.

[Aggies7]

By rule there has to be equal facilities for both clubs, so I would certainly hope there are lights in the visitors pen
