[Official] Astros @ Twins

The dreaded pop up to SS by Yuli. See if the Astros play down to a bad team.

 

Dang. missed out on batting practice.

 

Welp

 

JU always seem to give one up but he doesn't wilt

 

I see Urquidy's plan to not totally pound the middle of the zone lasted all of 0 starts.

“He was finding too much of the plate,” Astros manager Dusty Baker said. “If he has a problem sometimes, it’s throwing too many strikes. He hung a slider to Guerrero, and the ball was supposed to be away and it came back. That was kind of the story. He was throwing too many strikes.”
...
“I was throwing a lot of pitches right through the middle that they hit a lot,” he said. “I was trying to do my best, but I left a lot of pitches right in the middle -- offspeed and fastball, too. The other thing is this park is pretty good for hitters. We lost, and I hope I throw well in the next outing.”

 

There’s a drive to left-center

 

2 innings in and we're seeing Cy Ober, 34 year old minors phenom, lol

 

Ober is carving up the Astros so far.

 

Urquidy can't just serve it up on a tee to these hitters

 

Fastballs right down the middle are fun

 

There’s a drive to left-center

 

Oh yes he can and he's showing us how!

 

The downside to throwing a lot of strikes is giving up homers.

 

As mentioned above, the Astros have a penchant to playing to their competition.

 

I thought they asked him to stop doing that.

 

Alright bats, let's get over on Ober

 

Urquidy has pitched 57 innings in 2021 and given up 10 homers.

 

lol well I'm sure it was "told" vs. "ask"

 

So are all these fan bases going to be as dimwitted and moronic sheep as the NYY fans with the booing of Altuve? Yes, yes they are

 

Jose stared at a meatball over the plate.
