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

[nicksaviking]

I'm not sure where Dick Bremer is, but I'm pretty sure I could faintly hear him prematurely call a 3 run HR on that Lewis flyout.

[USAFChief]

Another GD 0-2 hit.

 

[NeverSeenATwinsPlayoffWin]

Let's hope this trend continues for Javier

[Aggies7]

Gray just terrible 2 strike pitches most of the day 

[Beast]

Just let Gray throw 200 pitches today.  Save some semblance of hope in the bullpen for tomorrow.

Same story all season. This offense has been painful to watch all year. We're lucky we've gotten this far!

true

when the hitters on, that's really good

but they don't play fundamental baseball all season

[GusGus11]

You cant even make up the way this state in all sports just crumbles in the moment.

Just zero clutch

Ugly at bats by the vets. Polanco and Kepler need to be split up. They're like an old married couple, they've fed off of each others' mistakes all post season.

 

yeah vets need to step up

rookies are who they are

vets have to show some fire

Lack of clutch hits with RISP outside of Correa is killing us.  Game 1 was the same thing.  Runners on against Verlander all day, but couldn't get anything across.  Same story thus far today.

Been sayin this or a variation of this all year. Scoring via HR does not sustainable make a season make.

[Aggies7]

Don’t piddle around with Maldonado 

[TWTwinsFan]

no free pass th 9th hitter

RBI are the only thing that matters on offense.

And we sorely lack RBI producers.

It's pretty telling that our team leader has 66 RBIs... and only two players have more than 60. Lewis is on pace for 110+ if he had as many PAs as Correa, though.

[Aggies7]

Great pitching there. Grays pitch count isn’t bad but I think he’s coming out 

[Battle ur tail off]

Sonny has freakin battled back here. Score him some runs boys. And Rocco, leave him in please.

[RocRedWing]

Sonny has really settled well. A shame that ball snuck by AK earlier. Let's go get some runs fellas

[Jerr]

OK, Correa get us started!

[JDBrocks]

Gotta score some runs to keep Sonny in here, I think.

[cHawk]

Now the offense needs to do SOMETHING.

The inability to move runners over is just terrible.

When your O strategy is based on scoring on HRs doesnt matter if you move runners with an out.

[Aggies7]

I wouldn’t be opposed to Rocco’s early PH hijinx this inning 

[IaBeanCounter]

Earlier this year there was a survey as to what the Twins needed to do to be deemed a successful season, ranging from making the playoffs to winning the World Series.  I couldn't find the results, but even if Houston knocks us out I consider 2023 to be successful.

[rwilfong86]

I kinda wish we could see the lineup from yesterday

[Aggies7]

Can we please not see AK bat again this postseason

[TWTwinsFan]

we all know Sonny run support has been all year

so is this game

[USAFChief]

So tired of Kirilloff's weak swing. 

[Beast]

I’ve seen enough of Kirilloff and Wallner. Absolute black holes.

[TWTwinsFan]

AK and Wallner are unwatchable

Seeing them back to back in the lineup, I got a bad feeling before the game. I think between them they have one hard hit ball the entire postseason
