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

Pretty fun at-bat coming up in the top of the inning!

[USAFChief]

I think the HP umpiring this year so far has been really good...until today.

And we seem to be getting the better end of it.

It's so nice to have good pitching. I'm 23 and I don't think I've ever felt this good about a Twins pitching staff.

Me to  x 3

Little better pickoff throw would have had Gordon.  But, all's well that ends.

Farmer is looking like an absolute steal right now. 

[Parfigliano]

The new guys producing.

Mommy:  Jimmy, what do you want to be when you grow up?

Jimmy:  A Farmer, mommy!

[ashbury]

Needed that from Vazquez!  The guy behind him with 2 outs would not have brought anyone home.

[mrtwinsfan]

I vote trying Farmer at Leadoff,

I think over the course of a season, it all evens out, but that’s really hard to say for certain

[Rik19753]

These new additions are absolutely killing it! FO deserves a A+ so far.

As much as I love Arraez,  I will take Pablo Lopez any day of the week over Bundy or Archer :).  Gotta give something to get something, and if Lopez is a legit 1 for us you do it everyday of the week.

It was my understanding there would be embeded videos in our posts.

EEE MEE LEE OOOOOOOO!

"Buxton, stil without an RBI..."

Nice call by the announcer.

Lopez, out?  He goes through the Astros like a knife through butter, and then is out?  The more changes, the more chances, someone is not going to have it.  Regardless of how Jax pitches, I don't agree.

Second consecutive game pitching for Lopez, third straight start by the starters of at least six innings, so the bullpen is well rested. Lopez has very seldom worked more than one inning. One inning is the right call.

For the Chicken Littles in the crowd, the Twins are a cRISPy 6 for 17 the last two days.

You're too slow, old man.

 

Actually, now that I think about it, too fast.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Goodbye to that save opportunity, not that I have any objections to how it played out!

BOOM!
