Game Thread Astros @ Twins 4/30/19 6:40 PM CDT

Pineda doing a good job of making sure the Astros are hitting the ball at people very hard.

Through 4 innings, Pineda gets "zero" swing-and-miss strike 3. Very upset.

I’m at this sparsely attended game. Big Mike looking very good so far
You can dress for cold. You can’t dress for 95 degrees with 90% humidity.

No, but you can undress for it.

i can’t watch/listen right now. Is this tongue in cheek? Curious how this is possible while being no-hit

 

First two batters walked and then Cruz ripped one down third-base line that was a double turned into a double play. All down hill from there...

Breaking stuff not in the zone, or hittable when it is. Chirinos checked his swing on ball 4 knowing that Pineda wasn't getting it across for a strike.

Nice job getting out of that unneeded mess

[strumdatjaguar]

I think it’s really about 1700 here. The Twins will announce 10k

[wabene]

God job Pineda! I was starting to worry with Dick all gloom and doom but hey no harm no foul.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Well let’s be glad Springer wasn’t in the lineup last night...

[Mill1634]

Lots of hard hit balls off Big Mike tonight

[twinsbaby]

Looks like entire Twins hitters already give up this game after Springer doubles.

Cole is really an ace today. 3 hits in both of these games so far off Houston pitching. Talk about a cool down. Meanwhile, Pineda trys so get an 80mph hanging slider down the middle by Springer to open the inning. Damn.

[wabene]

Pineda should have just sat on Altuve

[Mike Sixel]

It came to Portland! 70+ and sunny today.

What a great week! Too bad the plumber had to come today, or I would have golfed.

[h2oface]

That third pitch called strike fastball to Bregman was 6 inches outside.

Yes because plumbers must be watched ☺

[Mike Sixel]

Spell check is a batch.

 

*I believe this is an original joke. My wife was kind enough to laugh..... But she may have been laughing at me, it's always hard to tell.

???? no way. springer homers, altuve doubles. twins hitters not even batting! only 5th inning....

More that I needed to be there to figure out the issue, since it may have been caused by another contractor..... You a plumber?

[MMMordabito]

Pineda looks to be a candidate to have an opener.

[h2oface]

Alright... double play set up now. Bring it home.

[ScrapTheNickname]

Because the season started in March it got me thinking. One hundred years ago opening day was on April 23rd. So it's not so much the weather as an industry trying to squeeze all it can out of a season.

[Mike Sixel]

GC

Ah. You must be incredibly busy, given the market. Know a good insulation or siding firm? Maybe we should PM that....

[Mill1634]

Twins just not playing good baseball tonight

[h2oface]

OK, that's it....... get the fat guy out of there. No singing today.

 

Don't let this get out of hand.... he is at abut 90 pitches anyway, with his TJ comeback 91 mph fastball arm.

[FlauerPauer]

Polanco has looked like doo doo the past couple games.

[Brock Beauchamp]

This is the worst baseball game I’ve seen in a long time.

[ScrapTheNickname]

Schoop forgot to think.

[MMMordabito]

Finally ... That was starting to get painful
