Twins @ Astros September 4, 2015
« on: September 04, 2015, 07:18:04 pm »
T1;

Whoever led off bounced out 1-3
The next guy flies out F9
Mauer doubles to LCF...Rasmus played that awfully funny as it wasn't hit that deep
Sano singles to CF, Mauer out 8-2 at the plate on a tremendous throw by Gomez!

No score

Twins challenge the play at the plate...speculation on Conger blocking the plate without the ball, but call stand.  Twins out of challenges now.

Nice play by Hank but we may have been lucky on the appeal, seen a similar appeal succeed before.

B1:

Springer, making his return...singles to RF
Altuve singles to RF, Springer to 3B
Correa grounds into FC, Altuve out 6-4, Springer scores
Gattis grounds into 5-4-3 double play.

The inning fizzled quickly, but the Astros grab a 1-0 lead.

Yeah, but 1B and 3B and nobody out, then boom, three pitches, inning over.  You only get so many chances for big innings.

Nope.  Every ball was squared up except Conger's, and he was just out in front and rolled over a bit.  They're seeing it well.

Escobar hits a tailor-made double play ball to SS, but there's no one there, so it's a single, Suzuki to 2B
Hicks lines out to RF, runners have to hold
Dozier strikes out swinging
Mauer strikes out swinging

Nice job by McHugh...

If you throw a low and away pitch, there's pretty much only one place it can go (unless you're that freak from Oakland the other night who managed to hit that dribbler to 2nd base). And if that place is opposite of where you've shifted all of your infielders, I'm inclined to say it's a bad pitch.

I've been hearing shotguns in the distance for three days.

They're across the road somewhere.  The county road runs across my property, so I hope they're not on my property.

It seems like a lot of work killing them doves, then cleaning and cooking... not much meat on one.

That's why I'm not a hunter.  It's hard to "shoot and release".

B4:

Gattis lines a single into RCF
Lowrie singles to LF against the shift, Gattis to 2B...Lowrie puts on his flipper
Gomez lines one over SS for a single...Gattis had to hold, so he only moves to 3B, Lowrie to 2B
Rasmus strikes out swinging
Valbuena strikes out swinging
Conger homers to LF, Gattis scores, Lowrie scores, Gomez scores
Springer strikes out looking

But the Astros take advantage...lead 7-0

You have to abuse Ashby.  That's required. But let's see how this series goes with Ashby back.

Far more important than Ashby this series is Springer.

Ashby is garbage. The BBGs don't want your ears to suffer. Just your eyes.

For fuck's sake, the Rangers announcers are SUCH homer cocksuckers.

The BBGs are most appeased when every part of you suffers. Unless you're Pots.

You should clearly stick to the bowtie forum.

You don't understand the BBGs at all.

Fucking Victorino just missed a basket catch to end the inning and hurt himself, 3-2 Angels now in the 7th, Choo on 3rd with 2 outs.

Crone (sp?) drives in his 4th and 5th runs of the game with a double off the wall in right center.

5-2 Angels.

Lead off walk, then a liner back up the middle that Street snags and tosses to first for the double play. 2 outs, nobody on.

Camera guy just straight got fooled. Which fooled me.

Same with me.  My hands were in the air, and I was yelling.. and I swear I saw the ball hit in the front of the Crawford Boxes.  Psychology of goofy camera guy mistakes, I guess.

He went all out on that play.  Great effort, just couldn't quite squeeze it.

Nice to see Cron do some damage to somebody other than the Astros.

Pelphrey reminds me of that crazy kid who used to pitch for the Astros, who hated the shift. 93-95 mph two seamer, and that's about it. We had great swings tonight. I'm at a wedding out of town but was watching on my phone courtesy of mlb.tv.
