Game Thread Twins @ Astros, 7:10pm CDT 4/23/2019

[Aggies7]

At least we don’t play Houston again until ...

*checks schedule*

...next week.

Best to get them out of the way early!

[twins_89]

Gonzalez OPS is now under .500 on what is getting harder to call a small sample size.

[h2oface]

Gonzalez has been pathetic. I was a big supporter to get him. Plus, his arm is like Ben Revere. Adrianza has been as bad. I am really looking forward to see ho Sano can do.

[h2oface]

No biggy. One game. Win tomorrow and wasted words.

Look at Duffey's ERA. Like Harper and Hildenberger, it looks pretty good. Looks.

I watched the games. 4 unearned and he looks good on paper.

oh yeah how about that, we don’t see them again all year (at least until the ALDS or wild card)

 

Thank you, unbalanced schedule!

And that, only if they make the play offs...

Huh? He's got a good arm from what I watched. Dick and Bert were raving about his great throws from 3B yesterday. His bat is another thing, however.

Anyway, sorry i ain't been paying too close attention...

[twinssporto]

These two teams are fighting hard. I said last night this feels like a playoff game...Great as far as I'm concerned.  Twins can play with these guys all day long. Tomorrow will be fun to watch.  

 

If Twins won this game, I'd be running to Vegas and buying an AL Championship ticket right now. These are great teams. It's a battle for each of them.  I'd bet the Astros would say this is the best team we played this year.

 

Get ready to RUMBLE!!!!!

True, lots of people consider Houston a shoo-in, but I’m not so sure

Angel Hernandez is the poster child for automating the calling of balls and strike. He has absolutely no consistency behind the plate.

He’s consistently inconsistent.

Gotta be able to count on more than a few guys in the pen. They’ll be dead tired by July

Maybe, maybe not.  Pull the fresh arms from AA.

I just remember seeing him throw from 3rd a couple times and bouncing it twice to get there..... late then. Like Revere used to do from center.... even to second base.

[yarnivek1972]

How does that help? 3 guys have appeared in half the Twins games. That’s not a sustainable pace.
