Intentional walk then double play. Once per inning.

Vacation to Mars? We traded him almost 6 years ago.   (Or were you talking about his commentary on the Twins broadcasts?)

Nice to get some runs on Houston’s bullpen although James isn’t one of their best ones

 

 

Who cares. Runs are runs. Take 'em when you can get them. Maybe more importantly, he's probably only going to last this one inning or maybe one more. Get at least one more arm out of their bullpen used.

That was a nice inning!

 

Took a long time, too- almost as long as watching an AB when Jake's got runners on...

 

Thank you, I'll show myself out.

The production team gave him the kiss of death, too-

 

Started that inning with the rock-music-fueled montage of the Houston relievers gettin' the job done- complete with the announcers jawing about it too.

 

heh.....

Nick Burdi hurt himself pretty badly tonight. Crying on the mound. 

 

Worked all the way back and now he hurt himself again.

 

Just watched that. That looked awful. Poor guy. Always hoped he was going to be a beast for the Twins. Hope this isn't career ending; although, it sure looked like it might be.

Something I liked: Bremer throwing LoMo under the bus. Not because I dislike LoMo but rather that it was kind of funny.

 

Something I didn't like: Bert's oblivion to OPS. Either a.) He's just that clueless, or b.) He was just being a(n) (expletive). Either way, kinda annoying.

ok well specifically be i mean how many Championships has Michael Brantley ever won? After all this time on the Greatest team the AL Central central has ever seen(sarcasm included) and all his trips to the DL, I am perfectly fine with the way things turned out. Also, if I had a choice to start Brantley or Rosario in left field I would pick our guy every time. Is Brantley a good player? Of course I can't deny that. He is not a leader, he is not durable, and he has never helped take a team to an elite level. Their window of opportunity in Cleveland has been open for almost his entire career and he has never ever been a difference maker. Without looking up any statistics, there were plenty of other answers available to the Astros other than him. I am not going to apologize for thinking Houston made a big mistake when they did their roster revamp this offseason. The way the injury bug hits their middle infield they will be sorry that Gonzalez is in a Twins uni. I guess i put more stake in winning Championships than i do launch angles, exit velocity, and batting average against on balls put in play. (is that BAAbpip). We will get to see first hand how it all plays out. I just hope the Twins are still playing in October.

Weird, I always thought baseball was a team game.

You really believe that simply having been on a championship TEAM automatically makes you a clutch player, and never being on a championship TEAM makes you unclutch?

Can you give me some examples of Gonzalez' leadership skills that led to the Astros WS title, aside from simply being on their roster?
