Urquidy getting tired 

I hope your right

It;s almost unbelievable, but Javier and Urquidy look like Bob Gibson. Better than Valdez and Verlander.

Paddock looks electric, get to see!

Need to get something going on offense.   1 run was never weigh to win this game. 

Is it a Paddack paddock?

Jeffers has been horrific this series. Honestly if he doesn't get a hit here I think Rocco has to pinch hit for him (as long as a righty is throwing) his next AB. 

If only to get Vazquez in 

[bighat]

Twins hitters are down 0-1 and 0-2 every single AB. Brutal. 

[wabene]

I thought it was going to be Joe for 3, if he could make it, then they'd ride Paddack for a few. I'd keep Paddack in

[Aggies7]

Did the hitters watch any film of urquidy or did they just wing it 

[Dave Borton]

Logistical question: Which field players get to wear the pitchcomm besides pitch/catch? 

[insagt1]

unfortunately Twins are getting very weak AB's. Why are they making this guy look so good.

I don’t know why but this pic made me think of Bridge on River Kwai lol

Yeah but his replacement…

Would be no worse.

[bighat]

Can't hit a 2-run homer unless someone gets on base. 

How are these guys so fooled by a guy with a bum arm and a 5.50 ERA? 

[MMMordabito]

Bloop and Blast until it's over.

Can we borrow your hindsight… :(

I’m torn between an early bedtime or drinking myself into next week at this point

[howeda7]

Such inept at bats. He's not even breaking a sweat. 

[bighat]

Here I was thinking Solano would be light years better than AK in the lineup today. He's been awful. 

[Irishman]

Way too many Ks and bad swings!   Gotta stop!

I don't think the stats totally bear it out, but it definitely seemed like the hitters were better prepared for the better pitchers many times this year.

It's incredibly frustrating to be this bad against Javier and Urquidy so far.

[Aggies7]

We’re getting rolled by this bum. 

[Parfigliano]

Where have the bats gone? 

[USAFChief]

Good teams don't have Donovan Solano starting at 1st base in a post season game.

 

[insagt1]

sigh...just isn't fair. 2 hits in 5 innings and none after the 1st 3 hitters just isn't cutting it. I'd like to see more 'battle' from these guys. Not hitting the ball hard at all.

4 more shots. Is there a rally somewhere in there?

You can rent them on a per game basis for 19.99 at the concession counter.

SS and CF I think usually. Maybe the 2B too or instead of the CF?

[bighat]

One thing's for sure: another run by Houston and this ballgame is over.

Unfortunately, the A’s, Rockies, cardinals and white sox pitchers are playing golf at the moment

Another "bum" that mysteriously has a great game against TC.

[wabene]

C'mon Paddack!

After a team-record low 3 hits last night. 

At home. Going against the bottom of the Houston rotation.
