ALDS Game 3: Astros (Javier) v Twins (Gray), 10/10 @ 3:07pm CT

[Parfigliano]

Sigh.  They want to be HR guy as opposed to contact guy.  Swinging strikes on 4 maybe 5 pitches way outside zone 2ith guys in RISP

[GusGus11]

Minnesota sports just wilt when it matters.

Royce and Correa with absolutely gutless ABs. One is a rookie the other is a vet. Neither had any clue what they were doing.

The one meatball either of them got was the pitch that Correa didnt swing at. Just incredible.

Damn, maybe should have sent Polanco, I think he would have been in there by a fair amount. I get it though as a 3B coach, down 4 runs.

Nah he would have been cooked. You’d have to figure Lewis would have been able to drive a run in with the infield back but he decided to try and hit the 8 run homer

Can’t come back from that.  Embarrassing at bats.

Gray will probably give up another crooked number here anyway.

Good lord man, it's looking ugly, but this is far from over.

[Vanimal46]

As Yogi Berra famously said, you can’t have a comeback without a deficit.

This is a classic MN sports big game opening

AK missing that ball is inexcusable and changes the whole inning

Royce with maybe the worst AB in post season history

The youth is breaking

They were always broken and always will be if they’re doing crap like that.  Inexcusably poor performances by 3 players in the course of 1 inning.  This thing is done.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Okay, I'm going to start thread-banning if people keep being hysterical about one inning. Yeah, it sucked. If you are going to scream about past history or relentlessly post the same comments, find another place to do it.

[Aggies7]

Gray doesn’t have it. Is anyone warming?

[Brock Beauchamp]

Weird, the shadows don't seem to be impacting the Astros.

[Aggies7]

The shadows must be Houston fans.

Easy pickens for excuses today 

[nicksaviking]

I'm not understanding how the shadows are helping the Astros and hurting the Twins both on offense and defense.

[Battle ur tail off]

I hope Sonny can even make it through the order 2x today. Man come on buddy, we need ya.

[Aggies7]

Getting sick of hearing wain-o

[bighat]

Time to get someone up. No reason to waste Gray any further, or to let this get any more out of hand. Lots of good reasons to pull him here, dont' see many good reasons to keep him in. 

[Aggies7]

Now there’s a good pitch 

[Aggies7]

Ok cmon let’s go

[CoastiePilot08]

Lot of game left. 

[wavedog]

OK - let's start chipping away

[Aggies7]

Good teams can come back from that ambush. Braves saved their season last night. Got ours out of the way early hopefully

There is nothing to waste. He won't pitch again in this series unless he helps out in game 5, but even that is unlikely. If we are going to pull him, do it because we think we have a chance or don't want it any further. But if we don't, you burn him into the ground today, that BP availability is more important than his the rest of this series.

There are some trollers or pot stirrers in here, pretty obvious. Can Just ignore them for they are not worth replying to.

I could explain it but it would involve math.

Completely ****ting the bed with one out and second and third doesn't inspire confidence.

[Vanimal46]

Nice bounce back inning, Sonny! Let’s chip away at this lead! 

[Aggies7]

SHUT UP ABOUT THE SHADOWS

[Battle ur tail off]

Bench for AK. 

[USAFChief]

Can Kirilloff be any less impressive??

Not just today. Everything.

 

[CRF]

Is this discouraging? Hell, yes...but we ain't outta this thing. Not yet. Not by a long shot. It's still early. Let's think positive...at least for a while.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Just now, Beast said:

Kirilloff does all he can do to foul off 2 93 mph fastballs right down the pipe then whiffs by a foot on a slider.

Get him off the damn field.  He is awful.

Who isn't awful on this team? Over the past few games, you've said pretty much the entire roster is trash.

Cut it out.
