Astros vs Twins, Game 1, 9/28 1pm Central

[ashbury]

Maldonado's not going to finish.

[Aggies7]

FFS

[FlauerPauer]

Curve right down the f******* middle taken for a strike. Unbelievable. 

[TwinsCD]

And then fooled on the off-speed right down the heart.  Sigh.

[LVTwinsfan]

Swung at two balls , took a strike

[ashbury]

White Sox started an hour later than us and already have completed 5.

 

/ edit - correction, 4

[USAFChief]

uffda.

[Mill1634]

Buxton doesn't get them over, and Kepler up vs a lefty...not great

[Shaitan]

Should've bunted. It's never a sacrifice with Buxton.

[Aggies7]

That’s not a f*ing strike 

[TFRazor]

 

Maldonado's not going to finish.

Is it his knee?

[John Kelsey]

Buck is a very talented physical hitter but he has no control of the strike zone, just constantly guessing. 

[Aggies7]

Unreal

[TFRazor]

Ok Nelly lets do it again

[Doctor Gast]

Come on Nellie do it again

 

[Aggies7]

Absolutely putrid 

[TFRazor]

[TwinsCD]

Damn chokers.  CAN ANYONE ON THIS TEAM GET A BIG HIT????

[umterp23]

small ball is crucial and Twins choose not to.  

[mrtwinsfan]

Bad ab from Buxton again

[USAFChief]

uffda.

[LaBombo]

LOB: ∞

[Aggies7]

18 years since someone came through in a big way in the playoffs. 18 bleeping years

[umterp23]

terrible baseball at bats there with runners on.  

[ashbury]

Is it his knee?

Looked like the rear upper thigh he was giving attention to. But I was judging by his eyes. We'll see.

 

[TFRazor]

We've stranded 13 guys on base... Un-f******-believable!

[Shaitan]

Seems like it's both teams vs the strike zone. Whoever is the most patient wins today.

[mrtwinsfan]

 

This seems like an opportune time to get a couple runs. Best part of the lineup coming up and this guy hasn't been throwing strikes.

And so Buxton swings again at the 1st pitch, 

[USAFChief]

Tell me now many RBI a hitter has.

 

The rest is eyewash.

[bighat]

Twins refusal to play small ball (ie: a Buxton bunt in the last half inning) has once again cost them runs.

 

The arguments against bunting a runner over there are completely invalid. This is a 1-0 playoff game and your team has lost 16 straight.
