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

[Battle ur tail off]

 

This is such a terrible, BS take. If you read anything that any beat writer has written about Buxton, they always emphasize how much he wants to be out there no matter how injured he is. Sometimes players need to be protected from themselves, and in case you've been living under a rock for the past 20 years, we have since discovered that head injuries are nothing to mess around with and simply "play through."

 

Sure. And he misses a zillion games a year. I will take back my pansy statement and call him made of glass. He gets hurt more than anyone in Twins history and it's not close. 

 

This time, maybe it's his head. Fine, I get it. Either way, he's on the bench more than on the field.

Twins have now set the record for most consecutive playoff losses in any of the major American sports.. Now that they have that record in hand, they can go out and win today. Just had to set the record first.

[FlauerPauer]

I imagine Kirilloff will be able to hold his own at the plate, but I'm more worried about him in the field and playing hops off the wall and the overhang.

Twins win today, period

He did get hit in the head with a pitch. 100% not to blame

See, you say that but... Maybe the 18th time is the charm.

That's why I'd expect to see Cave too at some point.

[FlauerPauer]

Kind of disheartening with ESPN showing all those bad losing stats....

[TFRazor]

Need good Jose today

[Aggies7]

I am ready for pain let’s do it

[USAFChief]

How about a nice can of corn pop up to Kirilloff in the top of the first, help him relax.

[Aggies7]

Wow that ball is carrying

[Brock Beauchamp]

Ravech cannot pronounce Berrios.

 

So damned rude. Come on.

[LVTwinsfan]

Ravech calls him Berry Ohs. He knows nothing about the Twins. ESPN is just another NY local station

[TFRazor]

 

Wow that ball is carrying

I have a distinct feeling a couple of balls are going to end up in the seats. Hopefully it's our batters

[USAFChief]

nice play ball boy

[nicksaviking]

 

eek, I was a second basemen for most of my life. never did quite do too well at short

 

The bar is pretty low right now.

[Aggies7]

Not a strike

[TFRazor]

Nice

[Battle ur tail off]

Jose 'gun bring it today.

[Diesel]

Awesome start Berrios! Keep on doing that!

[Aggies7]

I appreciate the shortness of that half inning 

[USAFChief]

nine  eighteen more half innings like that, please.

[TFRazor]

Need Jose to do what Giolito did yesterday... and preferably need someone to do what Abreu did

[FlauerPauer]

Need about 8 more of those types of innings.

[Aggies7]

We need Cruz to put one in the seats today

[FlauerPauer]

 

I appreciate the shortness of that half inning 

 

Didn't even have time to get anxious!

[FlauerPauer]

 

We need Cruz to put one in the seats today

 

Preferably with a man or two on base.

It's probably because the New York Jets have a WR named "Braxton Berrios", but that's pronounced "Berry Ohs". Clearly they haven't watched any games where he pitched or they would have heard the correct pronunciation. 

[Jerr]

 

Wow that ball is carrying

The wind is blowing here.
