Astros @ Twins, June 13, 2021

When he’s completely inside the overlay strike zone he looks like the contortionist from Ocean’s Eleven.

B2:

Larnach flairs one off the hands into LF for a single

Larnach is gonna be a good one.

That takes care of that.

B2:

Jeffers grounds into 6-4-3 Twin killing…get it…twin/Twin killing…cause they’re playing the Twins?

Anyway…still 1-0 Astros.

Twins have some decisions to make re: trade deadline deals.

They’re way behind but have a lot of pieces and should contend again with a few additions.

Yeah, Cruz won’t be in that uniform come August.

Stropoll:

Good choices.

Give me IF defense.

T3:

Altuve grounds out 6-3

Try running it out next time, Jose.

Let this sink in a sec. Two innings into his 3rd start of the year, Valdez has a .000 average on his curve to both lefties and righties. Wow.

T3:

Brantley flies out F7 on the first pitch

Anybody have a guess as to whether Bregman’s hammy is ok?

They mentioned the other night that he’s one of the slower Astros on the basepaths this season.

T3:

Bregman…3-0…3-1…3-2…foul…grounds out 6-3

1-0 still

I’ll bet he’s just a little hesitant to go all out.

So, while we are between innings, I’ve heard Click twice in the last week not throw water on the possibility of going over the tax threshold to improve this team. Could be GM speak, but at least he’s not dashing our hopes.

Wondering if it’s affecting anything at the plate as well.

B3:

Semien…3-0…walks

I sincerely doubt they’ll go over the threshold.

Saw a little frustration by Framber on that 4th pitch. Uncommon for him.
