Twins @ Astros, August 8, 2021

B5:

Maldonado…0-2…1-2…grounds up the middle, off of Maeda’s glove, Simmons can’t stick a fork in it, no play…infield single.

B5:

McCormick…0-2…1-2…strikes out swinging at a slider in the 1B dugout

Channeling Altuve

Make him throw strikes.

Welcome to the show Jake

Pitchers are not required to throw fastballs on 2-0 and 3-1

Yes!

B5:

Meyers…nothing but sliders away makes it 3-1…3-2 on another slider away…foul on a slider away…slider down for a walk, Maldonado to 2B. Good discipline from the kid.

Nice job Jake.

Time to make them pay.

Hello, Alvarez!

B5:

Diaz, two on…0-2 on a pair of sliders…grounds to SS, flip to 2B, but turn is a little off and Sano can’t corral it. FC as Maldonado to 3B

B5:

Alvarez singles to RF, Maldonado scores, Diaz to 2B

Remember half of his pitches are sliders…

Swing the fucking bat!

Hustle by Jones and Diaz have led to runs in the last two innings…

B5:

Correa hits it hard, but right to Simmons who flips to 2B

Astros get a run back…4-3 Twins

Someone grab some PBP

Holy crap that pitch CC watched was begging to be hit. Begging, I say.

Since July 4th, Correa is slashing .151/.244/.244.

Not exactly making the cash register sing…

Welp. 7-3 now.
