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

[USAFChief]

Just some really bad pitch decisions and execution by Gray/Jeffers.

0-2 double to Alvarez

10/2/2002 Twins down 5-1 to Oakland after 2 innings, with 4 of the runs being unearned.  Twins won 7-5.

8/27/2023 Twins down 4 to Texas, won 7-6.

Atlanta came back from 4 down yesterday.

I believe we CAN come back, will we is another question.

This aint Oakland bro!

Yeah we've seen this movie before, unfortunately. 

Sad for the fans that it ended so quickly and abruptly. Didn't even have a chance to get warm in their seats before the game was over. A real shame. Twins need to have Joe Ryan pitch the game of his life tomorrow and then hope to somehow beat Verlander in Game 5 - if necessary. 

It's a big mountain to climb. 

Not quite as big of a mountain as Saturday. I’d say it’s about 80 percent as big, but I’d get accused of doing math.

said it thousand times, our hitters trying to hit HRs too much

in the playoff all about simple approaches

I don't know how much of it is Jeffers' game calling but I doubt he's calling middle-middle as often as Sonny is throwing it there.

You want to start the inning with a walk?

 

Nevermind...reading is fundamental

Wallner and AK have looked overmatched deer in the headlights. They shouldn't be playing again in this series, gotta go with the vets. 

The rookies are why they are not at home after game 162.  Im team rookie.

[Aggies7]

He’s getting away with some hittable pitches 

[CoastiePilot08]

Coulda used that Abreu K in the 1st

[Beast]

Show some life here offensively.  Somebody grow a spine and do something.  Just get 2 and make it a game.

[Aggies7]

Ok let’s go

[RocRedWing]

gotta get the bats woken up. Braves showed that no lead is safe last night!

[rwilfong86]

Need to pick away at this lead, get a couple runs back here 

[JDBrocks]

Way to battle, Sonny!

[2wins87]

Looked like Sonny called that last pitch. Diaz wasn't looking for it so good call

Your right the 2002 Oakland As only won 103 regular season games.  Texas won 90 games this year.

Not sure why, he threw the same pitch like 4 times in a row...

The Twins are just laying in wait for the Astros to get to five runs... so they can score four runs and then fizzle.

Fan dual in game bet on TC gonna pay when TC wins

[TWTwinsFan]

RISP hitting has been a huge problem 

hitters gotta find a way to come through

[2wins87]

Time to break through this inning

We aint the Braves man!

[Vanimal46]

Way to go Sonny! Still a lot of game left.

Javier struggles after the 3rd. If we can get one here, we could get to the bullpen or face Javier on the ropes. It starts with Ryan having a good PA

Finding a way to score without a HR would pay big

Second time through. Let's hunt that fastball!
