Game Thread: Astros v Twins, 4/8 @ 1:10pm CT

[IndianaTwin]

Time to switch over to the Houston radio broadcast for a few innings, so I don't have to keep asking you all what happened. 

[cHawk]

That 4-run lead was short lived.

Some things are timeless. Taking a walk is how you keep your OBP up.

Aside from the four runs allowed,  Ryan has pitched really well today

Too bad he didn't play the first few innings at St Paul to give them an insurmountable lead in the AAA game, then Uber over to Target Field to hit a walk-off homer for the big club.  Double Duty Radcliffe would then have nothing on our guy Wallner.

Radcliffe didn't use Uber.

Lyft, as I recall.

I have had Astros radio on entire day. Steve Sparks (pitched) sounds like the Blue Jays lead radio voice, Ben Wagner.

I for one am eagerly anticipating the face-off over who gets the one Barcalounger.

"Well, yes, of course, Mrs Lincoln, but other than that what did you think of the play?"

Speaking of annoying commercials:  "We fixed this toi-let"

[Parfigliano]

Nice inning Ryan.  Lets see it from the bats now.

[stringer bell]

Time to get hitterish.

[ashbury]

Does Ryan get a chance to pitch another inning?  I hope so.

[Brock Beauchamp]

At which gate at Target Field are they going to install the Kyle Farmer statue?

Mrs Ash brought some home from the store yesterday.  Not quite as good as fruit cake during winter, but not bad.

Buxton running with a piano strapped to his back?

"Ginormous!"

Yeah I was shocked how not far down the baseline he was during that throw. 

[USAFChief]

LoPEZ! Let's hope he dispenses the 'stros.

I'll see myself out

To be fair he’s been told not to run fast…or slide hard…or play defense.

[stringer bell]

Lopez get 6-8 in the 7th, who gets the eighth, assuming Duran in the ninth?
