sioux rube Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Twins were 4-2 against the Astros this season and they are 39-42 at home. Not saying they are a lock to win this series but I like their chances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel much more comfortable with Ober on the mound especially in that park. Ryan has the propensity to give up homers and Minute Maid plays small. Feel like Ober has been more consistent the past couple weeks as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWSiouxMN Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 The Twins HAVE to steal one in Houston this weekend. If they get back to Target Field tied at 1... I really like their chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you tell Ober that he's going 4 innings, don't hold back and just attack. 5. Pagan 6. Varland 7. Stewart 8. Jax 9. Duran And you sprinkle in the two lefties for Bregman. If Ober blows up you've got Kenta/Ryan/Paddack to the finish line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing with this argument is even against lefties I think they trust just about every righty more than Funderbuk. Like if it is the 7th inning and you've already used Thielbar and Tucker or Alvarez comes up I'd bet a lot of $$$$ they would go to Stewart or Jax over Funderbuk.

SiouxScore Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Ober seemed to really struggle with his changeup command and that is what Alvarez took out. Coming out first pitch fastball to Altuve who loves to jump on the first pitch and then missing up where he loves the ball was killer. Offensively I fear we missed our chance to get Verlander early and now he will settle in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got to push the envelope. 5-0 Houston. Maeda in. Paddack next I'd assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Pablo day. Big time spot. Right handed hitting lineup today... Solano, Castro, Polanco, Jeffers, Royce, Correa, Farmer, Taylor for sure. Do you have Julien play or Kiriloff? Solano plays first or second then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want you don't have to start either though.
