ALDS Game 2 - Twins (Lopez) vs Astros (Valdez): 10/8/23, 7:03pm

[Aggies7]

Why with Lewis at third? Why??

[Aggies7]

Lewis did not look good 

[howeda7]

Hate that bunt. 

[IndianaTwin]

Lewis should have gone left with his dive and tried to hit Maldonado.

Oh no … it’s all real 🙂

[CoastiePilot08]

Rocco getting cute. Dammit. 

[2wins87]

Should they have challenged for interference on Maldonado?

Lewis had to run around him and he didn't have the ball

[SoDakTwinsFan4]

My Goodness, Jeffers get in the game!

[Aggies7]

Is it just me or did Lewis look to be in pain walking off 

[Brock Beauchamp]

It will be interesting to learn if Baldelli called that bunt. We all know Jeffers loves his bunts and he's pretty helpless at the plate right now.

Another reason why I don't like that call. Poor execution by Jeffers!

I saw it too but Lewis has looked like he's in pain every time I've seen him run in the postseason.

Yeah that's a run if he just stays in the base path and makes contact

Because no one would expect it?

I'm very disappointed in Jeffers

[wabene]

Lewis looked fine

That's not quite how it works. The catcher has to give the runner a lane, the runner isn't allowed to run right at someone if they're near the plate.

[CoastiePilot08]

Left a lot on the table there. 

[Parfigliano]

Nuts

[Aggies7]

2 was nice but 

[Brock Beauchamp]

Chances we'll see Vazquez in game three? 60%? Higher?

No he looked p****d that he got put into a run-down

95%. 

[insagt1]

was hoping for more damage with sacs juiced...Farmer had a 3-1 count but ended up striking out.

But CC playing like a person possessed expands the lead to 5-0. So far so good.

[RpR]

I think Jeffers wanted the ball to head towards First, he tried hard.

[BomboRivera1]

I can't believe it's just the middle of the fifth.

Isn't life extremely flat with nothing whatever to grumble at?

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

I mean, same situation: https://www.closecallsports.com/2019/08/joe-wests-pittsburgh-rundown-obstruction.html

Ump maybe should have called it anyway
