Astros showing us why MN spring weather gives us a big home field advantage against teams from down south.

"Hard to hold a good lineup down for consecutive days...", yet, the Astros seem to be doing it no problem.

Magill can go four and then head to the IL .... Next

Magill is back.

Magill is back! Waaaaaaaaaay back!!!

Magill offers little relief.

Perhaps this is when “bunt into the shift!” becomes deadly serious strategy.

 

... or, not quite that, but at least something to break the no-hitter

This game puts Jake Odorizzi's accomplishment last night into even sharper focus.

 

I'm gonna watch the top a little while longer before I make up my mind about last night.

 

Lol are we really going to get no hit tonight?

OK, I hope I can watch Cole throws a no-hit game right now.

Teh Prenatal Yogaz are payin' off!

At least kegels in the dugout should keep him warm

Twins gonna get no hit?

Kepler was right. Inside. Not a strike.

Lol are we really going to get no hit tonight?

No, the answer is no. Loss still in play though

Well, at least the breakup of the no-hitter was a real hit instead of a double-clutched grounder.

Oh, no. Kepler doubles.

I just turned this game on! Was Pineda horrible tonight?

How funny is baseball that cole could have been knocked out in the first until that GIDP

So close to being out. Hit the sandstone thing.

Polanco just a hair behind that shoulder-high 98 mph heater...

When Cole is on.... he is a Cy Young guy. In his prime and dealing. I wonder if Houston fans were calling him a nibbler in his first games this year as he dialed in his control......

Kep to the rescue!

ok smart guy, made up your mind yet?

9 hits, 5 ER in 5 IP and everything hit hard, even the outs... I'd give him 4 out of a possible 5 claws...

 

 

Kep to the rescue!

 

Amen. Without him a day like today would have me convinced that we'll never be on the warm half of the planet ever again.

 

From the highs of winning a tight 1-0 game against a tough team to the lows of having that same team open up a can o whoopass. Baseball is can be a cruel game.

Baseball in the Hoodies.

I'm starting to think Mejia will clear waivers. Though I'd still drop Magill first. 

Doesn’t look like Mejia likes the cold either. Either can’t throw a strike or he throws up a meatball. For the sake of your fellow bullpen guys cmon and let’s get some outs.

Or hitters. Also not big on them.

 

That was definitely a strike Bergman - back to the dugout with your shin guards
