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

[Whammy]

 

I hate the Garver PH.

 

PH a guy that cant hit breaking balls against a breaking ball specialist. Great idea.

[T_J]

Wtf happened to the stike zone!!!

[Whammy]

But too be fair, the first 3 pitches were all balls

[mrtwinsfan]

Hey Rocco you keep shrinking the strength of your bullpen, leaving less choices when your in a position of strength  terrible managing and now with Garver, Must be for Defense right Rocco ????????,  

[Aggies7]

Leaving a guy in to pitch multiple innings is something that’s allowable by rule and greatly helps your chances of winning

[USAFChief]

 

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

strike 3 was clearly a strike. 

 

No reason to PH Garver there.

[dex8425]

I'm old school, but it's time for an electronic strike zone.

[Brock Beauchamp]

strike 3 was clearly a strike.

 

No reason to PH Garver there.

Strike three was definitely a strike, no argument there... it’s what came before.

Yeah, really don't get why May was pulled. He flew through the middle part of the HOU order

[LVTwinsfan]

smh

[Aggies7]

Astros defense has been positioned perfectly all game,

[TwinsCD]

 

Hey Rocco you keep shrinking the strength of your bullpen, leaving less choices when your in a position of strength  terrible managing and now with Garver, Must be for Defense right Rocco ????????,  

 

THAT'S BECAUSE HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO MANAGE A BULLPEN!!!

 

Hasn't learned yet.

[TFRazor]

 

strike 3 was clearly a strike. 

 

No reason to PH Garver there.

Problem was that shouldn't have been strike 3. It should've been 2

[mrtwinsfan]

Well one run should never be good anyway, Gotta loosen them Collars boys, Lets go!!!

[FlauerPauer]

The problem isn't the umpire. It's listless at-bats. Not swinging at strikes. Looking at balls down the middle. Missing fastballs. Both teams are playing with Raburn.

[Bandit34]

I don't know why the announcers keep hammering away on the Astros. They don't look any colder than the Twins. 

[Aggies7]

Honestly I feel better about hitting a walkoff than holding a 9th inning lead

[Vanimal46]

Maeda and Grienke couldn’t buy a strike. Valdez’ strike zone has an extra 3 inches all over the place.

[LVTwinsfan]

Yep, hence the 2.5

my point was we had 3 chances to their 2, but now it’s moot so...

[FlauerPauer]

They don't want the Twins to win.

[LaBombo]

 

Well we see Sano is Faster than Cruz anyway!!

 

[insagt1]

anyone concerned that the TWins aren't hitting at all this game? they look like they did Sunday. They have to pray their pen is able to hold off Houston now, One run and its probably over. (this isn't the way I saw this game going)

[denarded]

Umpiring is fine. Fair for both sides. We've got this

[Brock Beauchamp]

The problem isn't the umpire. It's listless at-bats. Not swinging at strikes. Looking at balls down the middle. Missing fastballs. Both teams are playing with Raburn.

Raburn’s zone completely changed with Valdez, that’s the problem.

[FlauerPauer]

Wow and now Aliva....

[TwinsCD]

Takes May out, leaves Duffey in.  :eyeroll:

[ashbury]

I feel better seeing Duffey out there for a second inning.

[umterp23]

Now Avila is catching.  WTF is going on.  

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Go Twins!

[Aggies7]

Buxton’s Bad AB might have turned the game around.
