Afternoon Game Alert!!
End of a pretty good homestand for the Twins but only the second game of a 4-game tilt against the Pirates, with the next two games at PNC.
Not much to complain about this team 10 games in, except perhaps the performance of Jose Berrios. Hopefully this all gets rectified today against a Pirates team that has only won two games.
Furthermore, who knows this season really lasts so getting as many wins under their belt will do the Twins good. Perhaps there will be an abbreviated playoff to get some closure on the season.
Beautiful day for some outdoor baseball, let's go Twins!
That's the Berrios I like to see. Five or six more innings of that, please.
Cruz is hitting a bomba here.
Well, he hit a hard single, anyway. I'll take it.
On the board!
Twice!
Thrice!
In play, run(s)!
geez, he picked almost the worst of the nine pitches to hit
Classic Eddie.
Three run lead, Jose. Throw it over the plate.
Got out of it.
Cruz's gonna hit a granny.
eh, i was a quarter right.
sano is not going to hit a granny here.
Is this anything like Winfield hitting a seagull?
Gameday makes Rosario and Sanó's at bats appear terrible
Sano kinda got screwed on the 3-0 pitch. This ump has been not great.
Strike 3, on the other hand, was quite poor.
Twins successfully stole a base?! How do we score that?
E2
I’ll match that.
not a good send.
You could throw a ball to the backstop and Eddie will swing and might hit the ball.
on the rebound?
This HP Ump is terrible.
Extremely
Drone'd
WTF Drone causing the players to come off the field
Where the Target Field Kestrel?
Maybe the Astros sent the drone over to steal the signs.
yep, advance scouting
😆
Kepler has no ABs today. Does he even exist?
Well, he supposedly successfully stole a base, but still not sure how that's officially scored.
Buck almost overran that flyball somehow. Frickin Gazelle I tell ya.
I love that you can hear Buxton WOOOO after making that catch
Lotsa SF between the two teams today.
Announced before the game: Hill to the IL.
At this rate every game is going to be a bullpen game.
Theilbar sighting!
Do we have some fake crowd booing on that replay decision?
nice to see that Berrios no longer needs scientific notation to display his ERA.
Max:
John Ryan Murphy extracts his revenge!
will we see
Thielbar going for the SOC.
sweeeep
mmmmmmmmweeellllllll, since we're going to pittsburgh, i want to call it one series. we swept the home portion, i'd say.
