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

[Brock Beauchamp]

Sigh.

 

Again.

[Vanimal46]

What the hell??

[Mill1634]

Garver has to PH for Jeffers right?

[Shaitan]

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

[Brock Beauchamp]

Garver has to PH for Jeffers right?

Good question... but is Garver better than Jeffers?

[mrtwinsfan]

Umpire is bad, Polanco at least looks better r.h. batting

[Doctor Gast]

that ball was way outside to be a strike!!!!!!!!!!!

[USAFChief]

 

Was Minnetonka a lake?
 

Not even a village yet.

[Aggies7]

Swiss cheese offense.

[dbminn]

Looking in at Statcast. Twins have hit six balls harder than 100 mph. They have one hit from them. Luck's gotta come their way at some point.

[umterp23]

Plate discipline severely lacking on some guys.  Not a single strike was thrown in the last at bat

 

[FlauerPauer]

 

I can almost feel the immense pressure the offense seems to be playing under in these types of games. It’s not there usually

 

Losing as many games as they have a franchise in a row in the playoffs absolutely puts pressure on the offense and the entire team. Regardless if they were they for those losses or not. Pretty much everyone was there last year. I feel like once they get one and get the monkey off their back, it'll be a totally different vibe.

Why?

[insagt1]

I hope with 3 innings to go that Rocco isn't setting things up for Romo or Rogers. Just gives me an  uneasy feeling. May was good but he isn't getting another inning apparently. Maybe Duffey can give us two?

Jeffers has hit the ball hard today.

[mrtwinsfan]

 

How often does Buxton put the ball in play when he bunts? If bunting for a hit was easy guys would be bunting on the shifts all the time.

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

[TFRazor]

So one and done for May?

[TwinsCD]

 

Garver has to PH for Jeffers right?

 

No way.  1-run game, I'd rather have Jeffers back there behind the plate.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

Sano looks absolutely lost at the plate.

 

 

^{_{/ yes this is an attempt at a reverse jinx}}

Just as long as he doesn't look lost at first...

 

(and welcome to page 32...)

[Aggies7]

Duffey already???

[ashbury]

Oh lord. Rogers gets the ninth, right?

[Krabby5]

This is where it unravels for Twins

[mrtwinsfan]

 

I hope with 3 innings to go that Rocco isn't setting things up for Romo or Rogers. Just gives me an  uneasy feeling. May was good but he isn't getting another inning apparently. Maybe Duffey can give us two?

Thought may would of got the 7th ??????

[USAFChief]

 

Oh lord. Rogers gets the ninth, right?

And Romo the 8th?

 

Dear god, no.

[TFRazor]

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

[FlauerPauer]

 

Duffey already???

 

Thinking the same thing. Unless Rocco thinks this is the most dangerous part of their lineup. I was hoping it'd be Clippard, Rogers, Duffey to finish the game.

[Aggies7]

I wasn’t aware of the new speed up rule which makes it illegal to pitch a reliever more than one inning 

[TFRazor]

Bye Carlos

[Aggies7]

He didn’t swing

[TFRazor]

Here we go
