Feeling much better about the infield defense

Ugh.

Not good to be down 4-0 one out into the game, totally blowing the advantage of having Gray on the mound.

All the announcers can talk about - as the Twins batters keep swinging weakly through pitches - is how tough the sun/shadows are on the hitters. I buy that, it looks really tough, but somehow the Astros got base hits and 4 runs in the first, so … /shrug/

I haven't heard so much about the batter's eye and shadows since the first season at Target Field Cuddyer and Morneau bitched so much they dug up the pine trees

It's like the Hawkeye offense.... it's so challenging for them yet the other team can figure it out almost immediately

 

[JM4CY]

This sucks

This sucks

Yup, was hoping Sonny would be on, but not today. Although only one hit thru five and leaving tons of guys on isn’t winning baseball either.

So many wasted scoring opportunities. Twins made Javier look like a Cy Young Award winner.

 

[RING4CY]

This game has the defeatist feeling of all the games during the extended playoff losing streak.

So many pathetic swings at that slider out of the zone and the fastball up near the eyeballs

Had to listen to the game on wcco. Gladden was saying Gray’s breaking ball wasn’t breaking much at all. If your breaking ball doesn’t move, you know you’re in for a long day as a pitcher.

Good news is the series isn’t over. Bad news is it feels like the series is over

 

[mj4cy]

Tough one today but to me this team has overachieved especially considering subaverage hitting all year. It's all house money let's give it hell tomorrow!!

I like this better. Kirloff and Wallner have been brutal this postseason.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Please win today. That is all I ask. Forcing a game 5 would be almost be satisfying enough...almost. I just hate the Astros. They are cheaters and it gets under my skin to see cheaters continue to be successful. Almost as if there is no justice in the world.

 

[cyclones122]

This is interesting...

 

[KCClone1]

Is Kirilloff actually injured? I wonder if the MLB investigates these things. Kind of like how Gallo was “injured” at the end of the season. Oh well, time for Buxton to give us a Kirk Gibson moment!

Well, during the streak, most games had the twins leading and several had very hi win probabilities. There were on 2 or 3 that were curb stomps like this.

The feeling that there is no hope in game 4 is awfully familiar, though.

Game 5 would be exciting. Verlander vs. Lopez with Correa possibly delivering the dagger. Or more likely Yordan delivering the dagger.
