Jose Berrios on the mound for the Twins and let's hope it's the 2017 version and not the Berrios from 2016 as I don't think anyone can stomach anymore of the Twins bullpen. Mike Fiers for the Astros. Buxton back in the line up too.

Sano out of the lineup due to illness.
Dat curveball doe.... *has the vapors*
Good first inning for Berrios.
With Vargas in Rochester and Sano ill, there's not a lot of power left in the lineup.
Where is Jason Tyner when you need him!
Get a good ball to hit, Eddie.
On the board!
riBBie
Same deal, Byron. Get a good ball to hit.
TWINS BASEBALL!!
Okay, Jason, your turn. Get a good ball to hit.
That was Rosario's first walk when the bases were loaded. Of course that was only his 35th career walk.
Not that it's a big deal to me, but I wonder why Molitor has started batting Buxton eighth and Castro ninth. I thought the idea with Buxton ninth was that he could be a second leadoff hitter, so that when he got on we had a speedy guy on base for the good hitters. Again, I don't know that it's wrong to do it this way. I'm just curious about the reasoning behind it.
Should Castro get on, he's a huge anchor against Bux' speed.
Jason, I meant that when you got a good ball to hit, you should swing at it. My bad for not being explicit enough, I guess.
Is it just me, or does Castro look at a lot of third strikes?
No, I think you both do
Two good innings for Berrios.
Only seven more needed.
Good job of limiting the damage.
After the first inning, I was one box short of Twingo in the different spots... and I still am.
SEND HIM!!
Sano would have had that.
I extremely dislike Jose Altuve.
Yeah! I wish he was on our team.
Apparently I've been sitting by Jason Wheeler's family all night.
what gave it away?
They're showing the Wheelers a lot on FSN. You could get on TV, after he gets an out if you'd like.
Did you get an autograph from Marney?
Nah, I didn't want to spoil his moment
The Great Gatsby (Redford) was on TV, and I ended up watching that instead. Good choice, I see.
Also, that movie is so well done.
On the plus side, Buxton raised his average to .199. He could get over the Mendoza line today, hopefully to stay. We'll just have to settle for 140-22!
