Easier said than done. 

No doubt , and I  amazed at those batters who work a long at bat wearing the pitcher down.

Stop it now ... your rookie hate is becoming nothing but trolling

Looks like the wrapper of something you'd find in the freezer of the Good Humor truck cruising the neighborhoods in summer.

For those who doubt managers make much difference, just look at the average runs scored per inning under Farmer/Polo!!1!!!111! And their reliever usage has been impeccable!!!!`!

I beg to differ. If Texas wins the West, Texas would be the Twins second round opponent. I’d take that. 

That would be ok, I'm talking about avoiding Houston. At least forcing them to pitch Valdez tomorrow.

I hereby award Max Kepler the Twins’ hitting Triple Crown. Kepler will lead the club in homers and RBI and while just short of the required 502 plate appearances, would lead the club in batting average using the criteria that MLB uses to determine if a player qualifies for the batting championship.

I'd put that in the "I've got good news, and bad news" category.

Up by 2 touchdowns in the 7th inning.  I think it's safe to say we'll win this one, but am not predicting a final score.

Twins might score more runs tonight than the Vikes score points tomorrow.

Seattle is not yet eliminated, contrary to what Dick has said on the air. However, if Houston's 1-0 lead over Arizona holds up that will put Houston in and Seattle out.

Also, St. Louis has eliminated the Reds and put Arizona into the postseason.

Ball sure does fly in Colorado. Must be the fresh air.

Interesting how little the thin air seems to affect curveballs from Caleb Thielbar. Still a long, slow arc. He could probably slow it down and fool even more guys. The extra speed difference might even make his fastball look faster. Dallas Keuchel's slider didn't look that bad, either. Betcha he could make the adjustment just like Thielbar, and then do pretty well in Colorado. 

I see the number one requirement for a Rockies prospect: Must be able to hit baseball over fence.

Texas beats Seattle to clinch a postseason berth.

Really nice double play and the Astros go to the top of the 9th up 1-0.

As wabene said, Framber Valdez may pitch tomorrow for Houston regardless.  If Houston hangs on and wins tonight, they could catch Texas for the division, although Texas’s opponent Seattle would have nothing to play for. If Houston loses tonight, they will need Valdez to pitch and win to finish ahead of Seattle for the tiebreaker.

If we could get some extra innings tonight it would be a nice bonus.

Keuchel is having trouble adjusting to the thin air. His game depends on spotting the ball very precisely, which he isn't doing right now. Boom, boom, boom. 

I'm guessing Varland will blow them away with his heater.

This ump's strike zone is very inconsistent, kinda hard to figure out when a pitch is called a ball once and a strike the next time...

So baseball nightly.
