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

Need to Loosen them Collars , look a little Tight

[Brock Beauchamp]

Ugh. Alvarez crushed that. 

[USAFChief]

Could sorta feel that one coming. 

Uffda

 

[JDBrocks]

Oof.

[Azviking101]

There’s always next year lol

 

[Hashim]

Horrible base running and inability to hit with runners in scoring position. We’re bailing out Verlander’s old butt. 

[CoastiePilot08]

That’s not a homer at Target lol. 
 

missed opps really coming back to bite 

[Aggies7]

Oh boy.

[CRF]

Ok...now we're in trouble.

[Parfigliano]

Oh $#!+.

[CoastiePilot08]

Joe thinking he could be doing this too. Lol.

And now we'll use up 3 innings of Maeda, followed by the bullpen just to finish losing this one?

[CoastiePilot08]

That was too easy.

Okay. See you then. 

[rwilfong86]

Thankfully if we lose this game we still have a chance to go back to Minnesota with a split with a win tomorrow

[insagt1]

well both my teams look like crap today. O's hitting funk continues as they looked awful against Texas. Twins already down by 3 against Verlander.

Me not happy.

[Azviking101]

These first 3 innings is every twins game over the entire streak. 

[JDBrocks]

Strike 4

Lol.  Everyone spent the whole lauding the decisions to throw the fly ball pitcher who can barely throw 90 against the one of the most prolific playoff studs in baseball history.

We are so overmatched it’s not even funny.

 

It would be 5-0 if Ryan was pitching

Why are you watching?

[Blyleven2011]

It's not over yet , Twins need to capitalize on the opportunities  , 2 double plays and a mistake on the bases ...

They need to right the shop and play smart ...

Let's g Twins  ...

[CoastiePilot08]

Stros capitalizing on mistake pitches and Twins unable. 
 

still in this game. 

[Aggies7]

Hey polanco made a play 

[insagt1]

Down by 3, do you 'waste' Maeda in this spot? Do you send Ober back out in the 4th to eat another inning? Can Twins actually get at least 3 today? (I doubt it)
