    I'm starting to think that we will show up in a big way for game 3. We will let them know that we're still the class of the AL. We rise for the big moments, and that's what we're going to witness.

    This team has gone to Philly (gave them their first home loss in the postseason), New York, Boston and Seattle.

    All those crowds were brutal and the boys came through.

    Tucker and Breggy need to show up. It's not like they haven't been there before.

    LFG

    Everyone here in Mn is talking about how loud it’s going to be in Target Field. Even the Twins players are saying it’s going to be louder than MMP.

    I still think it’s critical the Stros score early. I don’t think the Stros are going to be phased but the crowd noise but the twins feed off of it.

    ideally I would like to see Altuve hit a lead off homer and the Stros put up three in the first.

    Astros play best away from home
    We-against-the-world mentally have proved to serve them well
    Go Stros!

    I cannot believe I have soccer practice at 5. I’m the coach. I have to go.

    I think that's key as well. Gotta try and score as many as possible early to put pressure on them.

    I completely expect booing of Altuve and calls of him as cheater while Target Field goes wild for Correa.

    I think most of the Astros are going to be pissed then after Altuve bats leadoff.

    Just another game 3 for the Astros

    It's THE game the Twins have been waiting for for decades- the first home playoff game after breaking the long losing streak.

    Who cares how loud it is.

    Apparently there is a glare off of the batters eye that effects high pitches during day games. The Twins strike out a ton. Javier throws high fastballs and strikes people out.

    Astros win 7-2 with Javier striking out 9 in 5 innings and the bullpen taking it from there.
