Time to retire Altuve 

[mnfireman]

Nice pitch!!

 

[IndianaTwin]

I like that launch angle from Altuve. 

[CoastiePilot08]

Perfect!

[Aggies7]

Great pitch to get the pest

[insagt1]

got him. big out, Get Bregman and its 5 innings of zero! And he's gone!!!

[Brock Beauchamp]

Lopez is putting on a ****ing clinic tonight. His pitch mix and location is just ridiculous.

[IndianaTwin]

Alto queso!!

[Aggies7]

Bleeping huge LFGOOOO

a little nod to Gilbert&Sullivan there...were you aware?

That kind of thing is SSOO's bread and butter

Pablo!

Set up empty bases for Alvarez again too

[CoastiePilot08]

Anybody still complaining about The Trade?

[Elite Benchwarmer]

Pablo is working on becoming legendary !

[SwainZag]

Pablo is such a joy to watch

[Parfigliano]

76 pitches 5 innings.  It would be nice to see 7 innings out of Pablo.

And at worst, Valdez makes it 5-1.

Well, I don't know... 

We don't know how the extra prospects are going to pan out. 😂

[RocRedWing]

Yes...

 

Thanks for noticing!

 

Ps. extra points, as Ida isn't one of the better known ones...

Wainwright has taken a big jump from last night. I think he could be pretty good in the booth. 

[insagt1]

Hope Pablo can go deep. We remember what happened when Verlander was pulled! He's in control right now.

The trade? It was discussed at length during the telecast. Yeah--I'm happy. Both teams benefited but right now I have to say this has worked out very well for the Twins.

[mnfireman]

Had similar thought after Lopez got out of the 5th...

5-0 leads make everything sound better

He must have paid attention in the pitcher/catcher meeting today....
