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

[denarded]

 

Bad consistently is fair? Wrong to both is fair? Interesting concept.

Correct. It sucks, but it's the best you can hope for with how crappy umpiring has been this year

[Whammy]

 

The umpire’s expanded zone continues to mystify our hitters.

 

And the viewers. Maeda might still be pitching with this zone

[Brock Beauchamp]

The RH hitters keep ****ing swinging at that curve on their back foot.

[FlauerPauer]

 

after the 2 BBs, he's gone through the lineup like **** through a goose.

 

This made me laugh out loud...

[John Kelsey]

Can't wait to watch Serpico blow this one. 

[ashbury]

How many games has Maeda pitched, given up zero runs, and gotten no decision

In 2020 for the Twins? He has had two games where he went 6 or 7 and gave up 0 runs. Was credited with a win in both cases.

 

I'm not going to research his Dodger years.

 

[LaBombo]

 

I think his season ERA+ of 126, his FIP of 2.85  and WHIP of 1.118 is why he is still in.

 

Well, yah, but other than that...

[insagt1]

Could the Twins hitters possibly look any more feeble?

[Bandit34]

Does anyone else think this is one of the least exciting games in post-season history? The energy level for both teams is so low. 

[Whammy]

Nothing like leading off the post-season with an ump who's never been behind the plate in the post season before. Thanks MLB

Can't believe the crew chief doesn't get G1 duties....baffled.

 

Not that it always means he is the best ump, but you would think there is some sort of correlation

[LVTwinsfan]

My confidence level for the Twins to win this game is severely low, I don’t know how to fix that

[a-wan]

Maybe Romo and his schtick can light a fire under the Twins?

[Shaitan]

 

These announcers don't talk about the Twins at all

A hit would change that.

[LVTwinsfan]

I do hate ESPN

[USAFChief]

It has nothing to do with the umpire. Nothing.

 

It has to do with poor ABs.

16 years of foundering does that to a person.

[John Kelsey]

Nice to benefit from a bad call there. 

[Aggies7]

There’s an expanded strike call

[Aggies7]

Are you kidding me

[LVTwinsfan]

Romos been hittable lately

[USAFChief]

OH FFS>

[h2oface]

Ohno Romo.

Romo Oh No!

 

Baldelli certainly has no fear.

Can't say that I don't.

Sure wish we had a shutdown closer.

And not a soft tossing emotion Eddie like pitcher.

He certainly doesn't remember Sunday even.

 

[stringer bell]

Crap!

[Mill1634]

Rocco pulling Rogers for Romo is overthinking it to the max

[mrtwinsfan]

GOOD LUCK HOPE WE WIN BUT CANT WATCH romo-, 

[a-wan]

 

It has nothing to do with the umpire. Nothing.

 

It has to do with poor ABs. 

 

A complete 180 from what they did to Greinke in the first inning.

[Aggies7]

That’s a strike 

[LaBombo]

Guess you just have to tip your hat to a hitter who can go the other way with a slider that ends up in a different congressional district.

[Aggies7]

Odorizzi warming lol
