Just need a K followed by a 6-4-3.  Let's go get Jose

Can't find it

 

Okay, do we panic now?

 

No, we're saving that for when Belisle, Beslow, Pressley, that other guy, *insert reliever of choice* comes in with the bases loaded.

According to things I've read, apparently sometimes pitching coaches go to mounds about now to calm down the pitcher.

Don't want to see any bullpen action. Looks like Wheeler warming.

Ball 4, thank god he swung

Except he was already out there.

Pitcher's best friend.

No offense to the guy, but I really don't want to see Wheeler try to take this home.

70 pitches in 3 2/3 may not leave many choices

Concur.

Good to escape that

Okay, Berrios showed some guts with that one.

Brutal inning, but he didn't fall apart, I'll take it.

Looks like it helped. Berrios may be trying to do it all himself.

You got the order wrong. I blame you for that second run.

I don't expect him to be lights out every night, but it's good to see him work through that inning and minimizing the damage.

Okay, so here's my issue with the unwritten rules.  It's okay for Berrios to react the way he did when he struck that guy out.  If the guy had jacked a HR and reacted with obvious joy, he's showing up the pitcher.

Curve is on point but locating the fastball has caused problems.  Berrios just gotta stay calm and not overthrow.

Fiers, who could have been KO'd in the first inning, has now settled down

Here comes"the Walking Man" Eddie Rosario. Also "the K Man".

I will never understand the tradition of giving up a run for an extra out. I know all the arguments. But a run for an out, especially that gives up the lead, ties the game, or lets the other team go ahead, is a run you can't assume you will get back, no matter what point of the game it is.

 

Man buxton has a colossal lead

When did Buxton get away from the leg kick again?

Well, the bottom line is, 2 runs ain't gonna beat the 2017 Astros

For all of the (deserved) criticism of Molitor past few days, I have to admit that the team is focused and in the game today. This had the potential to be the complete disaster blowout at least we're competitive. I was concerned that the team would go on the tank but it hasn't happened yet.

That's how they looked early yesterday too though.

If Buxton could get on base 38-40% of the time, what a weapon he would be!

My favorite quote of the game so far (I believe an unintentional diss by Dick): "The Astros and Twins both feel like they have upgraded the catching position."

Castro out there making fiers look like Aroldis on that 91 mph FB

It could. A tie game surely won't beat them.
