ALDS Game 1 thread: Twins (Ober) v ASTROS (Verlander), 10/7@3:45pm CT

[AlwaysinModeration]

I know that he gets on base at a decent clip, but is anyone else surprised to see Robbie Grossman batting DH and hitting third in the Texas lineup?

Wouldn't there be an i?

 

Or did it get contracted out?

 

Where is metrodome lease when you need it?

LG appliances stand for Life is Good. I just inserted the only F word I know. :)

I think it's a great time to break another streak.

Lost their last 6 divisional series.

Get at least one of two in Houston and move on to the championship series in front of the home crowd.

Let's go Twins!

There once was a batter named Puckett.

Let's go Twins! Looks like Texas is beating Baltimore in game 1 of that series. A Minnesota/Texas ALCS would be fun

How about breaking Houston’s “six consecutive ALCS” streak?

Anyone know how to watch this game?

This game thread is hitting its stride early

I think that the last time the Twins got this far was 2002.

Lots of people don't have MLB Network. Not ideal, but I just checked the fox sports website and there will be a stream there.

You can get unlimited free previews if you use an incognito tab and then close/reopen, in case the Rangers/O's goes to extras or something.

Yep, I don't get MLB Network. NOT GOOD! They should've staggered the games a little further apart.

It's on FS2 as well.

The game is on FS2. Fortunately our cable carries it.

[bighat]

Trying to stream online, hope I can at least watch the beginning somewhere before this O's / Rangers game is over. Yeesh. 

[Nine of twelve]

Moving to FS1 when the Tex-Bal game ends.

That would be equally good!

LG, they're an electronics brand right. Maybe trying to hype up their product. Formally LG, now LFG.

Wouldn’t that be FLG?

But now we’ve got Lewis. 

Hope the umps don’t screw us. 

Let’s order chicken and pluck it.

[stringer bell]

Should be a fun series. 

[stringer bell]

Does Verlander have 97-98 in the tank any more?

[CoastiePilot08]

Great AB Eddy. Keep the line moving 

[Parfigliano]

Atta boy Julien make him throw strikes

[CoastiePilot08]

Let’s go Royce!!!!

[CRF]

I don't get FS2 either, but I can watch it on my pc so I'm ok.

I think maybe I saw him hit 96 or 97 in one of his last starts? Not sure

[CoastiePilot08]

Great start 

[stringer bell]

Is it me, or does Julien take more 3-2 pitches than anyone in MLB?

[rwilfong86]

Big moment for Royce

[2wins87]

Verlander not super sharp early. Gotta take advantage
