Man, where's the crowd tonight? Has the weather already gotten bad there? It rained like a big dog here in Austin today.

Watching the Rockets? I'm dvr'ing it for after the Stros. Maybe people won't post the score in here?

Clean 1st inning for JV! And the crowd goes wild.

For the first time in a while, the Astros get out of the 1st inning without giving up any runs.

I'm confused...I tune in, the Astros are batting in the first inning, and they're not down by 3 or 4 runs...what gives?

Verlander got away with that pitch to Cron

He got away with one in the first inning, too. It was hit a mile but foul.

Twins go down 1-2-3 in the top of the 2nd. Still 0-0 heading to the bottom of the 2nd.

Carlos! Chicken sandwiches for everybody!

ETA: Line drive homer off the right field pole.

CORREA!

Diaz with a single, but nothing comes of it.

Astros 1, Twins 0 after 2.

Another nice AB from Springer.

Down 0-2 in the count, gets to 2-2 and gets a solid single into LF.

Brantley Bomb!

Brantley almost smiled.

Springer was being a total goofball and still Brantley didn’t crack. Pretty impressive.

That was not a well located 3-1 fastball.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #16 on:** April 24, 2019, 08:20:45 pm »

I like doubles!

Especially of the RBI variety.

JV regains the AL strikeout lead from Cole.

Tom Servo · « **Reply #18 on:** April 24, 2019, 09:27:56 pm »

Josh is really taking to the opposite field approach.

Yep.

Great freaking game by JV.

I wonder why the Twins think that their best hitter needs to play only once every five or six games. Keep him fresh for the pennant drive, I guess, who knows.

Astros Fan in Big D · « **Reply #21 on:** April 24, 2019, 09:52:21 pm »

Good series win.

Astros and Twins came into the series tied for AL lead in batting average.

Love Josh using the whole field. I'm sure Berkman loved that Crawford box shot.

And this Verlander character may turn out to be a decent acquisition.

I don't care where I have to play him, I put him somewhere every damn day. Definitely an odd strategy

Willians can only play places - other than 3B - where they have players already.

I thought of Berkman too on that swing. ‘Twould be great if Reddick makes that shot a habit.

That was a masterful performance. 8 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 98 pitches.
