  1. The shadows are going to be tough for both teams. Kirilloff fanned on that grounder because of the shadow.
  2. I'm generally not a fan of the three person booth. Too much chatter. The PBP guy is doing his job and does most of the talking calling the game, and the other two guys are trying to talk and get their points across. Sometimes all of them are talking over one another, or interrupting one another. It's one person too many. It's even worse when they have three people in the booth for a football game. I'm ok with just two...PBP and analyst.
  3. I'd consider hitting rockets right at guys, some bad luck. Bad base running is a completely different matter.
  4. C'mon now...one run down is nothing. We can do this! Ober has to keep Hou right where they are and we can do it!
  5. We've definitely got some bad luck happening so far.
  6. The first game just ended. Tex won 3-2.
  7. Verlander is struggling with his command. We have to take advantage of that.
  8. Gotta get runs in when the chances present themselves. Perfect opportunity in the 1st and we let it slip by.
  9. Wasted opportunity there. To get nothing is going to possibly hurt us.
  10. I don't get FS2 either, but I can watch it on my pc so I'm ok.
  11. Yep, I don't get MLB Network. NOT GOOD! They should've staggered the games a little further apart.
  12. Always liked Verlander, but today I'd LIKE him to take an early shower!
  13. Looks like everybody is on the same page...the pitching needs to remain good, and we obviously need to hit better and score a lot more runs than the Toronto series. If those things happen, we'll give the Stros all they can handle. I'd add one more thing, and it's just my 2 cents...I don't want to see Rocco over manage us out of any game. No blowing through our bench in the 2nd or 3rd inning. Save the pinch hitting and substitutions for later in the games.
  14. I like this a lot better than having Ryan start. Hope Ober is up to the task.
  15. No way on Buck. Keep Funderburk. Keep Ober and start him in game 1, with Kenta in relief. Ryan would get rocked down there. We have to win 1 of the 2 in Hou to have any chance in this series.
  16. You'd think they coulda gotten Mollie and son some better seats. I was surprised at where he was sitting when they showed him on ESPN's broadcast.
  17. I'm a Twins fan, but I'm not from Mn. I didn't mean 60 years of Twins baseball. I've seen plenty of shortstops play, for many teams, over the years. A lot of great ones. That play by CC was as good as they come.
  18. This is absolutely, 100%, spot on correct. CC was covering 2nd, which is what he was supposed to be doing. To call him lazy, is complete B.S. Once he saw that Polo missed the play, CC took off like a bat outta hell to get the ball. All the way from damn near 2nd base. Once he got the ball, he threw a rocket to Jeffers. Perfect throw, on the run. Watch the sequence again and see how far CC ran to make that play. Could another SS make that play? Probably, but you could count them on one hand...and maybe in that exact moment, no other SS makes that play. Everything had to be perfect, and it was. That was one of the best plays I've ever seen a SS make in my 60 years of watching baseball. The guy is worth every damn penny of what the Twins pay him, and it goes way beyond what he does on the field.
  19. There's nothing I'd like more, than to beat the Stros. That would be FANTASTIC! The pitching matchups kind of scare me though. Ryan needs to really come through. Can't let the homers start to fly all over the place. Our bats need to get going too.
