Astros @ Twins - May 2, 2019

[Texifornia]

Bregman solo shot only score through 2 innings.

[MRaup]

Altuve is as lost at the plate as I've ever seen him.

He's swinging through meat currently.

[Texifornia]

Kemp, playing center field and batting ninth singles to start the third. Springer, DHing today, follows with a single of his own.

Altuve, Bregman, and Brantley strikeout, fly out, and strikeout respectively.

Jose Altuve is out of whack. We need to find all the whack we can and send it to him right away.

[Texifornia]

Altuve is as lost at the plate as I've ever seen him.

When he's not admiring it while it goes by.

[Texifornia]

Jason Castro hits a home run to lead off the bottom of the third. Buxton grounds out, Kepler strikes out, Polanco walks, and Nelson Cruz strikes out.

End of three, tied at one.
 

[homer]

Peacock missed badly and got lucky Cruz didn't put it in the upper deck.

This escalated quickly.

[MRaup]

Fuck Brad Peacock. This is pathetic.

He's getting lit the fuck up.

[hostros7]

He’s not discriminating about to whom he throws the fucking cookies.

Every team has one of these stretches during the season so let’s hope this is ours and is the only one.

[homer]

Kalas reminded us about 15 times that the Twins are (now) the 'best team in baseball'.

[Col. Sphinx Drummond]

The shitterlingness of the past two days makes my head hurt. Hopefully Monterrey will be restorative.

The least 2 seasons it was simply called August.

As of now it doesn't look like the weather will cooperate.

[MusicMan]

Hopefully Monterrey will be restorative.

I doubt this phrase has ever been uttered before.

Monterrey is a great city.

[juliogotay]

Monterrey is a great city.

Luhnow speaks fondly of it. BTW, there is rain possible both Sat. and Sun. in Monterrey.

One thing I think I read somewhere is Luhnow is fluent in Spanish.

[HudsonHawk]

Luhnow was born and raised in Mexico.

[Jacksonian]

Luhnow was born and raised in Mexico.

And he is dead set on capturing the Mexican market for the Astros.

[JimR]

Luhnow was born and raised in Mexico.

Probable read that too and forgot.

[juliogotay]

Luhnow was born and raised in Mexico.

He has family, a brother I believe, still living in Mexico.
