I used to hate teams like the Astros who could spoil/foul off a ton of great pitches. This is quinticential AL baseball... where the big boys can spoil pitchers pitches, and lay off the ones out of the zones.
I don't think Castro could ever tell Steve or Two-Bit or even Darry about the clouds and sunset. Just Johnny and Sodapop. Maybe Cherry Valance.
Great AB by Reddick. Berrios up to 93 pitches... Molitor must be beside himself. Also, of course Tuve is first pitch swinging! When he swung I cringed
MIN's defense has failed them this series. Astros offense has had runners-on (so credit that), and they capitalized.
When you stop worrying about jinx's in baseball... you know you have a pretty damn good team on your hands.
That one looked a bit tough with the bounce. But you're right- someone like Machado would've had that.
Was going to post this. Those types of things really go a long way in turning a game around. This team is incredibly fun.
Also, Roger Dorn would have made that play.... but only after Taylor gave him a stern talking to and told him to nut up and give a damn.
