GAME THREAD: 9/30/20 Minnesota Twins VS Houston Astros, 12:08 CDT

[TFRazor]

Maybe we can get to their bullpen.. Not that we did yesterday of course

[h2oface]

Screwed by the guessing human. They just don't mean to be so wrong so often, they just are. 

[Mill1634]

I know that that pitch is off the plate, but Jeffers has been behind the plate all day. He has to know that pitch has been getting called a strike

[Foghorn Leghorn]

Team continues to shrink as moment gets bigger and bigger...swing the bat.

Stop it.

[Otto von Ballpark]

Rocco's gotta pinch hit Garver for Jeffers!

[LVTwinsfan]

Gotta swing the bat. Too close to take. Berrios has been getting those types of pitches all day.

yep, catcher should know that

[mrtwinsfan]

Geez these umps are inconsistent, Batters need to take it out of the umps hands, and quit trying to be Perfect

that’s been a strike all day

[dex8425]

That pitch is off but Berrios has been getting that call. Hard to score runs if you don't swing the bat. 

[Aggies7]

I can’t believe I left work early again for this haha

[insagt1]

so will this start the parade of bad decisions by Rocco? Twins had to get the runner to 2nd. so why wasn't Jeffers bunting. Instead, he strikes out...the Twins favorite AB. Next, will be sit Berrios after 5 innings? Is there anyone in the pen who can do a better job at least for another inning?

 

But more important, Twins needed that runner in scoring position with two shots to bring him in...especially with a contact hitter up next. Not a productive AB for Jeffers.

[IndianaTwin]

I don’t want to pull Berrios. But if you’re going to use Odo in the pen, isn’t this the time to do it?

[Otto von Ballpark]

Former Twin (sort of) Brooks Raley!

[AlwaysinModeration]

Former Twin Brooks Raley?

The trick is to stay at work and double up your misery. 

[T_J]

Is it bad that I haven't yelled at my TV once today? Maybe apathy is setting in.

[h2oface]

Analytics may get you the playoffs, but it won't win you the playoffs and the series. It may lose it for you, though.

[Otto von Ballpark]

I wonder if some Twins are saying this right now too.

[TFRazor]

They'd have to go to work first

[Otto von Ballpark]

Former Rochester Red Wing Brooks Raley, to be accurate.

[h2oface]

 

that’s been called a strike all day

 

doesn't make it really a strike.....

[AlwaysinModeration]

Come on, Luis Arraez, professional hitter. Get it done.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Former Rochester Red Wing Brooks Raley, to be accurate.

That’s why I recognize the name.

[Otto von Ballpark]

 

They'd have to go to work first

"Left work" in a seasonal context.

 

Although I'm sure they punched the clock and did some stretching this morning too.

[TFRazor]

Arraez has seen more pitches than the rest of the team combined

[USAFChief]

 

doesn't make it really a strike.....

We should file a protest.

[Aggies7]

A couple guys are trying to yell at the cardboard cutouts in the dugout

[mrtwinsfan]

Max- its Time 

[Brock Beauchamp]

There you go, Luis. Yell at that ****ing dugout.
