2020 Postseason: Defending American League Champion Houston Astros @ Twins, Game 1

A run and a gaffe.

Beggars/choosers

I’ve been relegated to listening to the radio since I’m in the office today and the ESPN app won’t cooperate.

Someone please explain to me what the hell Machete was doing?

Man, that’s some terrible base running.

This team won’t allow you to be happy for a moment.

He thought the throw was going to the plate. As you know, normally you’re taught to try to not let that throw go home. But with 2-out, and Reddick running, there was no play, and he was just caught in no-man’s land.

well done Josh, Machete, George.

Um, Martin, can I see you in my office for a sec?

When you need a big hit the playoffs George is the MAN.

Watching postseason baseball with zero expectations is almost liberating. Normally I’d be losing my shit at that boner, but whatever. Tie game!

Someone assure me there are no ghost runners allowed in the post season extra innings.

You’re a lucky man.

I fully expect to 2 and BBQ, but I’m still full of rage.

B7:

Garver, pinch hitting for Jeffers…takes strike one…announcers already bitching about Framber getting a call…takes strike two…takes strike three

B7:

Marwin bounces out 5-3 on the first pitch

B7:

Arraez…full count…grounds out 6-3

Tied 1-1

Really unfair to ghost runners imo, you have to actually hit the ball to get a ghost runner on-base.

Lucas Giolito perfect through 6.

A’s must have stopped cheating, it’s the only explanation.

T8:

Altuve walks

Why Would You Say Something So Controversial Yet So Brave?

A’s get a leadoff single, my jinx game is strong.
