Listening to this broadcast on mute. How do they routinely find the worst booth possible for playoff games?

I ‘watch’ on Gameday when Houston is batting, then put FSN1 when the Twins are up

[glunn]

Twins need to keep running up the pitch count.

[AlwaysinModeration]

The ol’ 6-pitch walk!

[Shaitan]

I always thought the "clutch Correa" stuff was just talk until the last week.

[CoastiePilot08]

Keep working him boys 

[CoastiePilot08]

Oooh. That was a hanger.

These umpires have been a complete joke with balls and strikes 

If it is on the invisible line it is a strike.

[Aggies7]

60th pitch coming

Lopez looking unhittable!

Yesterday didn't go as planned, but I think the normal rest period was worth it.

And the punch line is...?

 

(I just assume every complete joke has one)

[RpR]

Bring Vazquez  in, Jeffers is lost.

[CoastiePilot08]

Come on Jeffers. Two terrible ABs. 
 

that was asking to be put in the seats. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

Avoided the 1-2-3 inning and ran up the pitch count even further.

Not a perfect outcome but I'll take it.

[Aggies7]

Jeffers come on man

Painstaking research.

I heard analytics are the reason for everything bad with baseball.

(Previously it was the DH.)

Right down the middle and watching it. Damn.

I don’t think Jeffers is lost, but I was surprised to see him in the lineup today.  Or, I was surprised not to see Vazquez.  But down 1-0…I get it.

Four straight balls to Correa to start the AB.  2-2

The first "strike" call was outside, the second one was a strike. 

Kepler should have been rung up, that 1-2 pitch caught plenty of the plate in the strike zone,

Lopez has an ERA under 3 with Jeffers catching and over 4 with Vazquez catching.

Not to mention Jeffers has hit so much better over the year.

[CoastiePilot08]

Unlucky 

[Shaitan]

HOU with 2 IF singles on the day so far and that's it. 😃

[Parfigliano]

DP time

[howeda7]

Correa with two balls called strikes. Now Lopez with a strike called a ball. Sigh.

Poor play.

[CoastiePilot08]

Throw strikes to this dude

Yeah the umpire bias has seemed bad both series. I dunno. 

[CoastiePilot08]

Excellent!

[SoDakTwinsFan4]

What is the problem with Jeffers and watching strike 3 right down the middle? Been going on all season with him. PROFESSIONAL, DISCIPLINED AT BATS is what it is going to take to beat the Astros. Aren't going to be able to homerun and strikeout their way to a series win.
