2020 Postseason, Astros @ Twins Game 2

Agreed. He got fucked out of the Arraez at bat, but you can’t load the bases there.

Staying with Framber and pulling Urquidy. SMH.

Yes.

“Don’t put runners on ahead of Cruz.”

Stashak in for the Twins…

Altuve hacks at a pitch over his head and grounds out 6-3

Jose swung at two pitches nowhere near the plate that at bat.

Fuck I’m tired of him sucking.

Jose almost had to jump to reach that one.

I never said I would intentionally walk him. But, I definitely would pitch him carefully. He’s the hitter I most fear in the Twins lineup, especially in big situations.

And, yes, I blame that inning on Baker. He’s getting way too cute with a bad bullpen. Urquidy never should have been pulled, and he should have foreseen the odds of Raley facing Cruz were much higher than anyone liked.

I don’t get the Urquidy move either.

You said “don’t pitch to Cruz.” To me that means walk.

Next shower on the doorstep. This one is two back to back. Right on the south edge of it so maybe not a direct hit.

T6:

Brantley…full up…grounds out 3U

T6:

Bregman flies out F7 on a running, not sliding, catch

OK, I have to work. Someone do some PBP. Get us fucking runs because I suck at it.

The Cruz ball was 114 off the bat.

The only reason it wasn’t a homer is he didn’t hit it high enough.

Thigh or belt high FB middle in. Bad idea.

Yep

Raining now…

I thought it was gone. I felt my heart sink.
