All series talk goes in here. Non series talk goes somewhere else. No PBP, that can be found from other sources if you need it. 10-7 Bailey Ober (R) vs. Justin Verlander (R) 3:45 FS1 10-8 Pablo Lopez (R) vs. Framber Valdez (L) 7:03 FS1 10-10 Sonny Gray (R) vs. TBD 3:07 FOX 10-11 TBD vs. TBD if needed 1:07 FS1 10-13 TBD vs. TBD if needed 3:07 FS1
Finally it’s game day ! Astros offense needs to score runs early and often to set the tone - force Minny to use their bullpen. And Verlander, he needs to hunker down for 5 innings and not make any mistakes. Stoked for this series!!
Lineup projection: Altuve Bregman Yordan Tucker Abreu Brantley Dubon Pena Maldy. Hopefully lineup Altuve Bregman Yordan Tucker Abreu Chas Brantley Pena Maldy (not even worth hoping for Diaz)
Singleton really? Fck he's useless. Why not a 3rd catcher? I'm not even going to mention Kessinger. Montero? I wish Click was the GM.
I'm glad Dusty doesn't have the opportunity to use Graveman. He damn near cost us a playoff spot in Arizona. I really wish Singleton wasn't on the roster though. I'm terrified Dusty will pinch hit him in a close game.
This was the Twins starting lineup for the last game. Likely the same today: E Julien (L) 2B J Polanco (S) 3B R Lewis (R) DH M Kepler (L) RF A Kirilloff (L) 1B C Correa (R) SS R Jeffers (R) C M Wallner (L) LF M Taylor (R) CF Haven't heard anything official but it seems unlikely that Byron Buxton will play in the ALDS. https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/b...n-buxton-appears-unlikely-to-return-for-alds/
On 790 yesterday they said Kessinger is the 3rd emergency catcher. Yesterday they had the pitching machine set to throw pitches in the dirt for him to practice blocking.
