5 baserunners in 2 innings and no runs

What a joke 

Settle down. The game is early.

[rwilfong86]

Gotta get this run in while JV is struggling

[PDX Twin]

Game is now on FS1, for those who, like me, have been deprived.

[rwilfong86]

And then a baserunning gaffe from Julien

[howeda7]

WTF are doing Eddie. 

[Parfigliano]

Base run blunder.

[Aggies7]

Wtf is that baserunning 

[glunn]

Not good baserunning by Julien.

[USAFChief]

RBI are the missing ingredient 

[rwilfong86]

The Twins are beating themselves 

[CRF]

We've definitely got some bad luck happening so far. 

[CoastiePilot08]

Come on. Boys.

[Azviking101]

Like I said earlier this week, kepler and Polanco are solid players and can help you win games but they’re not guys that are going to win you the games that matter. 
 

Hope they prove me wrong 

[rwilfong86]

Sigh.

[glunn]

We are down by 1 run and it's early. Verlander has thrown a lot of pitches and the Astros bullpen is not as good as Toronto's.

[Aggies7]

5 runs in 19 playoff innings. 3 driven in by 1 guy

[Parfigliano]

Obviously didnt watch any Met games this year.  They're an embarrassment 

[USAFChief]

OK Mr Ober, keep it a 1 run game, please. 

[Schmoeman5]

Verlander has been effectively wild so far. He's missed a lot of pitches. But then he's dropped a couple curveballs in for strikes. They really can't sit on anything.. And he looks like he might be settling in now

Hardly bad luck. They’re not facing Oakland and LAA’s 6 ERA pitchers anymore. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Julien,  where were you going,   Baseball I.Q.  TEST Needed

Yup.  Plenty of AB's left to change that.

Hopefully Ober can keep putting up 0's

[JDBrocks]

Feels like they are gonna get some runs across. Some bad luck and self inflicted wounds, but they don’t look overmatched or flustered.

[CRF]

C'mon now...one run down is nothing. We can do this! Ober has to keep Hou right where they are and we can do it!

 

[Mortimerkenny21]

Lots of knee jerking around here. I guess we have already lost. Must be better things to do than watch the game if we already lost in the 2nd inning.

[Brock Beauchamp]

I see the good vibes of two postseason wins lasted for all of one inning and the negative nellies are back in force. 

[Aggies7]

Yeah definitely get the bullpen going. He’s nearing 30 pitches
