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

[LVTwinsfan]

Petco park or Dodger stadium are the Bubble sites.

that didn’t answer my question

[ashbury]

If the Twins and White Sox both advance do the Twins get home field adv for the series

They should, shouldn't they? They finished first.

 

[Brock Beauchamp]

Odds of Polanco getting this out of the infield?

[John Kelsey]

Legitimately have never heard of Brooks Raley. 

[Aggies7]

Sheesh we can’t get back in the field

[mrtwinsfan]

Hmmm - Polanco and the shoulder drop - every at bat

[Shaitan]

Does Grienke get paid by the hour?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

winner.

What did he win?

 

(I don't know, 3rd base?)

[stringer bell]

More soft contact from Sanó and Polanco.

[ashbury]

Jeffers didn't show much his previous turn. Let's see something now.

[LVTwinsfan]

Higher seed always gets home field, but after this series it's "in the bubble," so not at TF.

Who bats last was my concern

[Battle ur tail off]

 

that didn’t answer my question

 

Well the Twins are the higher seed so yes, I would assume they are "home team" for more games than the Sox if that happens. 

[Aggies7]

A tidy hour 50 for 4 innings.

[TFRazor]

Jeffers is fighting

[LVTwinsfan]

They should, shouldn't they? They finished first.

 

The way the brackets are laid out doesn’t make that clear

[Brock Beauchamp]

Run up that count, Ryan.

[TFRazor]

Good AB there

[Doctor Gast]

CWS up 3-0

[USAFChief]

Great AB from Jeffers. Hit that ball hard.

[ashbury]

A tidy hour 50 for 4 innings.

A combination of Greinke farting around on the mound and Maeda being required 4 strikes for an out will do that.

 

[Aggies7]

If we could just have a fraction of the offense from last year. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

Damn it all, hit it hard where someone isn’t on occasion.

[Sielk]

Why are our well hit balls always directly at the Astros fielders?

[ashbury]

Good AB there

Yeah, much better, especially considering he had a stolen strike that counted against him. Ran up the count and wound up with good contact. That will pay off in the long term. Trouble is, 9 innings is the short term.

 

[Shaitan]

 

THought we'd almost see Odo in relief in this spot. Maybe if we were behind.

 

I don't think we'll see Odo in a mid-inning situation.

[LVTwinsfan]

Damn it all, hit it hard where someone isn’t on occasion.

Hear, hear

[Vanimal46]

If we could just have a fraction of the offense from last year.

It’s a shame, really. The offense has been my concern all year. No surprise the pitching is holding up.

[stringer bell]

It looks like a bullpen game after five innings. I doubt either Grienke or Maeda will make a pitch in the sixth inning.

[TFRazor]

 

Damn it all, hit it hard where someone isn’t on occasion.

Preferably in the seats

[nicksaviking]

 

Why are our well hit balls always directly at the Astros fielders?

 

Well there's only been like four of them and Cruz's did drop.

 

A .250 average is pretty solid here in 2020.
