So it’s not really a HIT and run.

Called that one, too, but mainly because I read it here first.

Or a run and hit…watching the replay it looked like Henderson was expecting the batter to be swinging. It was a 2-1 pitch.

End of three…3-0 Astros

Change up dead center and he didn’t miss.

I’ll find the replay later to see if it looks to me like he’s trying to steal or expecting a swing.

A clean inning from Verlander would be a welcome change.

No kidding. He needs a strong inning here.

Good start!

Retired the leadoff hitter…baby steps

JV with a nice 1-2-3 inning

3-0 Astros.

Let’s get some more, fellas

Ober out, Maeda in for the Twins

If Penelope Cruz says to fly emirates, then I guess I better fly emirates.

JV got his first non-FB strike with strike 2 on Polanco in the third, and has seemed more comfortable since. 55 pitches in the first 3 innings (av 18+), 10 pitch 4th.

Into the Twins BP already? What in the world???

I’d fly Emirates anyway. I’d fly United, if she told me to. I’d take the bus if it’d please Salma Hayek

I’m pretty sure this is what the Twins were expecting: 3 innings from Ober, then Maeda.
