Just what the doctor ordered 

[Theodore Tollefson]

That broken bat going toward Correa had me spooked for a moment. Did not want to see him trip over that.

Huge DP

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

They were strikes.

[RocRedWing]

[howeda7]

I hate Altuve. 

[wabene]

What a little pest

Jeffers needs to wake the **** up 

[Aggies7]

Take a breath, man. I know it's intense but that happens to catchers all the time, even the best ones.

[glunn]

Whew!

[RpR]

Time to bench Jeffers, if he does not quit playing AAA ball..

[wabene]

Pablo Cruisin

[2wins87]

No problem. Pablo still dealing.

This is post season, not spring training, that is awfully poor play.

For his defense to return the bad  level it once was, there is not excuse.

I know that little midget is f annoying. How’s he so good at 5’5. 

[Hrbowski]

Am I the only one who has been scratching their head at Jeffers's defense all season?

I know you hate the electronic strike zone but you could see the first one was outside regardless of the box.

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.

He is a total  guess the pitch hitter,   has zero reaction when its not where he wants it,   ya its Sickening

Catchers lose blocked balls all the time and nothing came of it.

If Jeffers hadn't looked helpless at the plate in this series, no one would be throwing a fit about the lost ball.

Did you watch his ABs and now that?

[Aggies7]

What are some of these swings though 

[glunn]

Twins need to keep running up the pitch count. Let's get to at least 85 this inning.

You are making an excuse for poor play; OK if this were Legion Ball but not in this game.

He blocked a pitch in the dirt and lost it for moment. Altuve had awesome reaction time, a lot of guys don't advance on that.

[Hashim]

Please Let’s not let Valdez settle down like Verlander yesterday.
