Astros @ Twins, April 8, 2023

Peña got fucked that at bat, but geez he’s lost.

Is it safe to say it’s warmer in Minneapolis than it is in Houston today?

I like how no matter where he bats in the lineup Peña maintains a consistent approach.

T4:

Pena strikes out looking. AGAIN.
Hensley strikes out swinging.
Meyers lines out to LF.

That was fast.

Mid 4, tied 4-4

So the Astros have indeed picked up the strikeout pace. Seven through four innings.

Somehow Gameday is a minute ahead of my TV, which says it’s live. I blame the pitch clock.

Gotta jump off PBP

The pitch clock should be analog. That would add a little wrinkle.

Garcia strikes out the side in the 4th. We’re tied at 4-4

Astros go quietly in the 5th…still 4-4

Every swing that’s made contact since Yordan’s homer has sounded like it was hit with a broomstick.

Maton in for the 5th

Now that you can strike out the side on fewer than nine pitches, is that still an immaculate inning?

Maton makes quick work of the Twins’ 3-4-5 guys.

To the 6th…4-4

HPU getting salty about his bad calls.

Abreu goes down on strikes again, his third this game

Astros go down on a pair of strike outs in the 6th. That’s now 10

Wow these guys are piling up the Ks

Martinez in for the Good Guys

1-out double for Farmer
