Bailey Ober pitches against some newcomer who goes by the name of Greinke.
Man, that guy is still good.

At least we won't be no-hit tonight.
Looks like the Astros grounds crew really wets down the infield dirt.
Torchy's Tacos being renamed Safety's Tacos in the outfield stands in the MLB gameday app (must be a money thing). Looking at Torchy's web site not seeing a good fish (non-salmon) taco so whatever. I'd try their Breakfast GF Migas.
2-out homer bites.
Early farm report:
St. Paul and Louisville are tied at zero through two. Chandler Shepherd is pitching for the Saints.
Wichita scored four in the first and leads Midland 4-0 after two. Andrew Bechtold delivered a two-run double. Chris Vallimont has struck out four in the first two innings.
Cedar Rapids scored three in the first and leads Quad Cities 4-0 in the fourth. Yunior Severino hit a two-run single. Louie Varland has allowed one hit in 3.2 innings.
Fort Myers is tied with Dunedin 2-2 in the fourth. Bobby Milacki is pitching for the Mighty Mussels.
Greinke, meet wall (?)
Nice base paths there by our boyos.
Astros fans doing the wave in the 5th inning
No play on the rafter ball. How did they rule the fly balls at the Dome when they hit the speakers?
I thought foul ball, and I think you could still make the catch for the out
I also thought it was going to be the game they somehow finally scored on Percival. Also, in the bottom of 10 Anaheim brought Erstad in from CF to 1B to play 5 infielders, which was pretty novel at the time and I loved it.
I'm sure he is a fine person, but John Gant give me "AI made player after 10th season of simulation" vibes
That was a pretty good inning, though.
Aye, it was.
Dandy fielding by Arraez
I'm sick and tired of losing players by getting HBP on the hands.
Gordo moment there by the Provo.
Yeah, I was wondering how we'd blow that lead we didn't get.
Sean: Twins need to avoid the Co*lom*e closers.
Colome in the 9th - this is where the rubber leather hits the highway seats
Manfred Nightmare Mode activated
Wow, timely and productive hitting in extra innings.
Refsnyder starts inning at 2nd base.. Millennial-ball ensues.
We went to BWW for dinner so we could watch some of the game. Right before we left a guy spotted my Twins shirt, walked over and started a 10 minute conversation about pitching and injuries. The wife rolled with it, she's a good sport.
I don't see this ending well for the Twins.
Not a good situ with Provus praising Sterling's assessment of yanquis greatness.

Yep. I was sitting in the right field outcropping for a great view of this catch: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WCAvAI38l5g&feature=emb_title
