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

Maeda has been damned good this year. Greinke needs to keep us in it.

T3:

Springer…SWING THE FUCKING BAT!!!..finally swings at one a foot off the plate and flies to RF

Good grief…that’s like 10 pitches right down the center square the Astros have just watched.

Yeah, but bitching at Maeda for being too good just doesn’t have the same oomph.

More scandal bitching by the announcer

T3:

Altuve…SWING THE FUCKING BAT!!!..swings at another one way off the plate and lifts a lazy fly ball to RF

This is fucking embarrassing.

There’s a solution for that.

Maeda has thrown at least 20 meatballs right down the center of the plate. The Astros have made contact with exactly zero of them.

Anyone that expected the Astros offense to magically wake up and not be shitty now that the playoffs started, please send me some of what you’re smoking.

Yeah, I’m looking away from the tv to do stuff on the computer, so I have to keep an ear out. And I don’t feel like jacking around with the radio pbp to get it in sync. If it’s not, it drives me crazy

I expected them to magically give a shit and at least try. That’s on me.

Maldonado did get one, but was just a bit early.

I’m assuming Framber gets the ball for the remainder of the game after Greinke leaves?

I’m assuming he’s the Game 3 starter on Thursday

B3:

Arraez flies out F7

B3:

Buxton…0-2…strikes out swinging

There’s that patented Grienke high cheese.

I had thought Urquidy had Game Two and McCullers 3 (with Vasquez first in to back up one or the other)?

B3:

Kepler…3-2…does not try to sneak to 1B on ball three this time…walks for the second time

Maybe. I would not start McCullers over Framber.
