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

[Mill1634]

Big inning from May getting through 3-4-5

[FlauerPauer]

 

I was wrong, it’s been 16 years since a big hit...Jacque Jones Homer off mussina

 

Was the one game they won in 2003 or 2004? 

[USAFChief]

 

Being 14 wasn't a bad time for me.

 

Coincidentally, it was when i last lived in MN as well...

Coincidentally, when I was 14, Minnesota wasn't a state yet.

Torii Hunter's HR in the 12th of Game 2 that year should have been the game-winner until Gardy left Nathan out there for another inning.

Why wouldnt Rocco have Buxton bunt in that a.b. ? or even hit and run ?

[stringer bell]

I'd like to see a few doubles this inning, capped off by a homer, maybe five runs.

[Brock Beauchamp]

ESPN used to be the best sports network, not anymore

It has been a long time since they were good. They couldn’t compete with expanded local coverage and moved to broadcasting only programming that involved talking heads who yell at each other a lot while being wrong.

[ashbury]

It annoys me this broadcast is refusing to show replays of check swings.

Get it right the first time, noob.

Oh god I wiped it from my memory 

[Doctor Gast]

I expect CLE/ NYY to be a good game too

[TwinsCD]

Who's guessed more in this game, Altuve or DJ Reyburn.  New inning, new zone.

I loathed it. Older woman next door wouldn't leave me alone...

 

Hated living next to my grandparents.

[Aggies7]

Sano is basically standing behind the catcher. Surprised they’re allowing it

[mrtwinsfan]

 

I was 14 last time the Twins won a playoff game... painful.

Was 58 here , im running out of chances, Hope ya dont break my record

[USAFChief]

 

Was the one game they won in 2003 or 2004? 

yes

[Aggies7]

They’ve had great defensive placement all day

[stringer bell]

 

Why wouldnt Rocco have Buxton bunt in that a.b. ? or even hit and run ?

How often does Buxton put the ball in play when he bunts? If bunting for a hit was easy guys would be bunting on the shifts all the time.

[Aggies7]

Just one more run would mean so much 

[ashbury]

Sano looks absolutely lost at the plate.

 

 

^{_{/ yes this is an attempt at a reverse jinx}}

[LVTwinsfan]

Sano is hard to watch...this whole team is hard to watch

[FlauerPauer]

 

ESPN used to be the best sports network, not anymore

 

ESPN is the worst. Just the worst.

[Mill1634]

 

Why wouldnt Rocco have Buxton bunt in that a.b. ? or even hit and run ?

Hit and run is an easy defense of Rocco not doing it...He swings and missed A LOT. Makes a lot more sense to H&R with someone like Arraez or Willians at the plate

[TFRazor]

 

Sano is hard to watch...this whole team is hard to watch

Especially on the radio

[ashbury]

Coincidentally, when I was 14, Minnesota wasn't a state yet.

Was Minnetonka a lake?

I can almost feel the immense pressure the offense seems to be playing under in these types of games. It’s not there usually

[TFRazor]

 

Was Minnetonka a lake?
 

More like had the ice caps receded?

[Aggies7]

I can accept that from sano

[TFRazor]

Missed it by that much

[Vanimal46]

Feels like one of those games where 1 is all we’re going to put on the scoreboard.

[stringer bell]

Headline--Sanó puts the ball in play in three consecutive at bats.
