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

[TFRazor]

Lo and behold, there's Mitch

[Battle ur tail off]

 

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

 

Yes, the pitching has been fantastic so far this game. 

 

We can't hit. This is why I was whining so hard last year to get some arms in here. You just don't run across years like that were you hit that well very often. 

[LVTwinsfan]

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

Twins have 3 AB Astros have 2

[h2oface]

And Maeda is "deGrom'ed" again..... this time by Duffey.

[John Kelsey]

This ump is terrible. 

[FlauerPauer]

Dude must be reading this thread

[Mill1634]

 

Twins have 3 AB Astros have 2

Yep, hence the 2.5

[Brock Beauchamp]

This ump is terrible.

So bad.

[LVTwinsfan]

Called it a ball the first time

[Aggies7]

Umpire blows 

[Aggies7]

Bat not off the shoulder 

[TwinsCD]

GFY, DJ Reyburn....frickin ridiculous this strike zone.

[LVTwinsfan]

This whole team cannot hit

[Brock Beauchamp]

Dude. Seriously.

 

Umpire.

[ashbury]

Now the low pitch is a strike.

[TFRazor]

Why? Why was mitch there if he wasn't even going to swing the damn bat?

[Vanimal46]

Need to get Valdez out of this game...

[USAFChief]

 

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

on the other hand, if they shift Springer, they're out of the inning.

[Mill1634]

Twins have done nothing off Valdez....

[stringer bell]

I hate the Garver PH.

[Vanimal46]

Again, would have thought hard about pinch hitting Gonzo there.

[umterp23]

Way to swing the bat Garver!  What a joke of a pinch hit appearance

 

[TFRazor]

 

Need to get Valdez out of this game...

Good luck. He's retired 8 straight

[Brock Beauchamp]

That was not a good appearance by Garver but he had NO IDEA where the zone was and that’s because the ump sucks.

[Joey Self]

 

Players never wanna bunt anymore,  meaning why practice it - Games changed and not for the better, To me anyway

The bunt is largely a stupid play.  

But there are times when that skill is needed. 

 

JcS

[Mill1634]

What the hell happened to this umps zone?

[SF Twins Fan]

Why pinch hit there? Jeffers hit the last ball hard. Garver didn't even take the bat off his shoulder.... what a waste.

[LVTwinsfan]

It’s not the Yankees in the playoffs that is the problem, it’s the Twins in the playoffs, they just can’t get up for these games

[USAFChief]

And why TF is Garver pinch hitting??

 

He's also a much worse catcher than Jeffers.

[insagt1]

Garver is totally hopeless. All he does is strike out and look bad doing it. If you believe in momentum...Houston's got it now.
