Astros vs Twins, Game 1, 9/28 1pm Central

[USAFChief]

 

Blech, Polanco looks bad.

Running in place.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Is Maeda going to be able to finish 6?

Probably not, thanks to the shoebox sized zone that ran him to three ball counts over and over again.

[insagt1]

assuming he continues to pitch well. we need to get at least 6 innings from Maeda today. His pitch count is over 70 and he is in a bit of hot water in the 4th. Need to get out of this inning with a zero

[Mill1634]

Kenta and Jeffers seem off with the runner on 2nd...

 

And there he goes to the mound. Surprised no translator?

[ashbury]

Game has slowed to slower than a snails pace

That happened when Greinke took the mound in the first.

 

[Aggies7]

I’m about ready to throw my tv out the window. ABC keeps cutting out on Comcast 

[stringer bell]

A hard-hit out after the 14-hop single. 

[bighat]

 

Is Maeda going to be able to finish 6?

Hoping for 5 at this point.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Running in place.

Past a diving Polanco

[dex8425]

Wow, almost like we're really concerned with protecting our signs. 

[stringer bell]

Hay Kenta, it is a lot easier to be ahead on the count.

[Aggies7]

Boy this is a ticklish situation 

[USAFChief]

yeesh. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

Maeda throwing a lot of non-competitive pitches right now.

[Aggies7]

Will he finish 4?

[IndianaTwin]

 

he misplayed that for sure

 

Have to wonder if that’s a place where not playing across divisions made a difference. It’s been a while since Reddick played at Target. 

[Mill1634]

Alright Kenta, buckle down. Have to get out of this inning

[TFRazor]

 

Wow, almost like we're really concerned with protecting our signs. 

Gee wonder why?

[stringer bell]

Reddick with a chance to make up for his misplay. 

[insagt1]

He's not looking sharp today. He also looks a bit rattled. He needs a big out right here, right now.

[mrtwinsfan]

2 batters to late here Rocco, something not jiving with Kenta and the Catcher

[Battle ur tail off]

Yikes is Maeda moving slow and being deliberate. Not sure what is going on, but come on bud get the game moving. 

[dex8425]

Reddick is terrible. Just get him out here.

[stringer bell]

Only the fourth, but a huge at bat.

[ashbury]

Who's warming up? (No, who's on first. What's the name of the pitcher warming up? No, What's on second. OK, tell me the name of the guy warming up.)

[USAFChief]

 

Reddick with a chance to make up for his misplay. 

hush, you.

[USAFChief]

 

Who's warming up? (No, who's on first. What's the name of the pitcher warming up? No, What's on second. OK, tell me the name of the guy warming up.)

"I don't know."

[Aggies7]

That is way too good a pitch on 0-2 yeesh

[Aggies7]

Bullpen activity 

[Mill1634]

Kenta is either (a) missing way out of the zone or ( leaving stuff right over the zone. Wouldn't be surprised to see this be his last inning
