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

[Battle ur tail off]

See this is the difference.

 

 

They get runners on, they score. You have to find a way in the playoffs

 

[FlauerPauer]

Well there's the game.

[Danchat]

We're gonna lose 1-0, aren't we?

[umterp23]

enough with the stupid ass shift on defense.  My god.  Throw the analytics away.  

[TwinsCD]

This is why Berrios will never be better than a #3 guy.  Can't start nibbling and totally lose the zone.  Same crap that Duffey pulled yesterday.  Get 2 outs and then break down.

[Aggies7]

Two outs and nobody on to this.

[TouchEmAllGuy]

I hate walks

[Brock Beauchamp]

I HATE these in-game interviews. I’m trying to watch a ****ing baseball game here.

 

Mic up the players. Cool. They’re part of the game. The announcers are not.

[Vanimal46]

Sigh... little dribbler kills us.

[USAFChief]

Has nothing to do with shifting. Has to do with Berrios walking 2 consecutive hitters with 2 outs.

 

And a hitter finding a way to put the ball in play rather than K'ing.

[h2oface]

Our pitchers walk a batter..... likely they score. 

Our batters walk.... not a chance. Stranded on the bases.

[insagt1]

again...so darned predictable....Jose cruising along and suddenly he loses the strike zone...walks two and gives up a run scoring single. This is unfortunately how he has pitched this year.

 

But--where the Twins can't do squat with those situations, the Astros come thru. And thats one reason why the Twins may not play baseball after today.

[Twodogs]

The shifts have been working so well.

[Aggies7]

 

Has nothing to do with shifting. Has to do with Berrios walking 2 consecutive hitters with 2 outs.

I mean, it kinda does. That’s a weak Gb to short for like 120 years

[Mill1634]

Berrios completely losses the strike zone with 2 outs....simply cannot happen

[Battle ur tail off]

 

Sigh... little dribbler kills us.

 

6-3

 

 

[HokieRif]

Rosie already looks like we've lost...

[Aggies7]

Someone should be warming. No idea who though

[Mill1634]

We're really missing another player like Arraez who will grind through an at-bat and get on base. Brantley fits that bill and fills a void this offseason. 

[LVTwinsfan]

30 pitches this inning

[h2oface]

 

Has nothing something to do with shifting. Also has to do with Berrios walking 2 consecutive hitters with 2 outs.

 

And a hitter finding a way to put the ball in play rather than K'ing.

 

FTFY

[woolywoolhouse]

Has a 1-0 deficit  with 4 1/2 innings left to play ever felt more insurmountable than this?

[USAFChief]

 

I mean, it kinda does. That’s a weak Gb to short for like 120 years

Actually, if they completely shift, it's a weak GB to the 3rd baseman.

[Mill1634]

 

Has a 1-0 deficit  with 4 1/2 innings left to play ever felt more insurmountable than this?

Even worse, there are 5.5 left to play, and it still feels like we've lost

[Twodogs]

I mean, it kinda does. That’s a weak Gb to short for like 120 years

I agree, plus most of the balls hit into the shifts would have been caught by the regular player anyway.

[Battle ur tail off]

OK, should be fine. 

 

Rocco, don't you dare pull him. He was cruising until the last little bit here. You don't have the horses out there to go the rest of the way. 

 

[TFRazor]

Nice job to stop the bleeding I guess

[Aggies7]

Let’s see if there’s a response 

[TouchEmAllGuy]

Still nothing hit too hard. Just control your pitches Jose!!

[insagt1]

Twins have to answer that run immediately. Someone in that dugout has to light the fire. The bats are dead.
