Game Thread Twins @ Astros, 7:10pm CDT 4/22/2019 ad

[Nine of twelve]

Yeah! Too bad about that darn DP.

[nicksaviking]

This offense is starting to grow on me.

[VATwinsFan]

CRON the Batbarian!!!!

[twinssporto]

 

Goodgolly this lineup is getting frightening even with Castro (righty on the mound)! I wonder, is Odo particularly benefited by Castro's admittedly better backstop skills?

Wish Garver was catching tonight.

[Brock Beauchamp]

So far so good on the Cron and Schoop signings.

They are both great pickups.  I was most excited about Schoop.  If he gets close to his 2017 stats he will be a huge bargain for one year.  Then you might have to consider extending him....

[Don Walcott]

Buxton with a record for putouts!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

CaSTrO!

[Nine of twelve]

Wait, wut?

[wabene]

Papa Jack Castro

[Don Walcott]

Castro!! No need for Mitch today!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Buxton with a record for putouts!

The meat of the Houston order with some long fly balls, but Castro’s outdistances them all

Wish Garver was catching tonight.

I'll just shut my mouth and go sit in a corner now.

 

Nice work Castro!  Made me eat my words.

[wabene]

Ole crazy eyes

[FlauerPauer]

Gonna need all the runs we can get today.

[MMMordabito]

Wow ... That slide had a lot going on

[twinssporto]

Someone let me know when my "timeout" is over so I can post something again.

[FlauerPauer]

Is this Big Strong Matthew LeCroy out there?

[MMMordabito]

Tough that Odorizzi isn't getting the top of the zone

Not good for Jake when he doesn't get those pitches.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Cron saves the day again

[bighat]

Electronic strike zone. Now, already.

I was really hoping that this would be the final post of the entire thread until the thread gets locked tomorrow sometime

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Second time through the odor for Odor

 

 

*see what I did there

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Will be nice if he can keep the Stros in check a little longer

 

Either way, I’m not anticipating a long outing for him.

[FlauerPauer]

Nice positioning there.

 

Give us at least 5 innings, Jake.

[MMMordabito]

Some loud outs tonight

[Nine of twelve]

Angel Hernandez with yet another incorrect ruling.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Angel Hernandez with yet another incorrect ruling.

Agreed! Didn’t affect the play, fortunately

 

(Altuve should have been rung up on a check swing, grounded out anyway)

[MMMordabito]

Really, Blyleven? ... Time to go ... Passed time, really

 

(Blyleven sounded like a total noob asking about OPS)
