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

[LVTwinsfan]

Umps miss a lot of calls

[IndianaTwin]

 

What are the odds this thing is over before my 5pm appt?

 

Wouldn’t count on it. How is the traffic in Denver these days? 

[FlauerPauer]

Donaldson would have probably had that.

[Aggies7]

Ill advised throw

[USAFChief]

Mrs Chief and I like to make little wagers when we watch sports.

 

The other day, we were watching a soccer game, and she turned to me and said, "Let's make this interesting."

 

So I turned off the soccer game.

[TFRazor]

Donaldson would've made that play

[LVTwinsfan]

He didn’t swing

neither did Polanco on the pitch way outside that was called a strike.. I’m okay with it

[nicksaviking]

Trashcan infamy + check swings = strike 3.

[Mill1634]

JD makes that play

[TFRazor]

Yup Rogers active in the BP

[USAFChief]

 

Ill advised throw

eh, close enough to try.

[ashbury]

I don't like where this pitching situation appears to be heading

It is fairly sound strategy to look at the big picture and say, "I need this, this, and this to happen, in order to win."

 

But they need to be things that have a reasonable chance. Romo and Rogers both have dropped below a certain threshold in my mind. Let's hope Rocco's and Wes's judgement are sound and mine isn't.

 

[TFRazor]

Damn it.

[FlauerPauer]

Damn.

[Aggies7]

Welp.

[ashbury]

Shoot.

[TFRazor]

We got bit by the bottom of their lineup

[Vanimal46]

It was going to take more than 1... Wake up bats!

[Mill1634]

Do not like this...Twins have 2.5 innings to outscore Houston and the Twins have used half of their dominant arms

[Brock Beauchamp]

Damn it.

 

Also, what a dumb base running play.

[TFRazor]

Thanks Martin for making the final out at 3rd. Obviously no one ever told him that you don't do that.

[mrtwinsfan]

Leaving all these runners is gonna kill us-- Come on guys hit the FRIGGIN ball, play smart mr baldelli?

[insagt1]

well now that its tied, Twins could be in a lot of trouble if they can't figure out how to get runners in from scoring position. Nervous time.

[Aggies7]

The heck do you expect when nobody can come through with a big hit and you have multiple chances. Same story repeated for years and years and years

[stringer bell]

I was going to say that I was glad Reddick got the hit this inning rather than when the bases were loaded, and I still am, but three straight two out hits tie the game. Marwin makes that play more often than not.

[TFRazor]

Baker riding Valdez for another inning

[FlauerPauer]

Let's be real. This game wasn't going to end 1-0.

[TwinsCD]

Giolito perfect thru 6 in Oakland.

 

CircusBoy would be proud.

[ashbury]

So I turned off the soccer game.

Sadly, this is what passes for "interesting" at la casa del Jefe these days.

 

[umterp23]

soft line drive against the shift started that rally.  No shift, it is caught by SS... The shift is way overused
