Their takes. Love it. Karl correa throws out arraez. Boys and girls were going to the eighth. Theyre 247 at home and score 4. 5 run a game. When i came to the u. S. , my family was really poor. D.

Tim like every other bar experience, one beer and then i go home. Karl youre out . Tim thats it. Karl people want to talk baseball with you, though . Corner you . Tim of course. Karl trapped. Jose altuve frustrated after that swing on a curveball from duffy, whos back for a second inning of work. Tyler duffy allowed the only run of the game for the astros, a single. Josh reddick came around to score on a rbi from George Springer. Eduardo lets not forget how that top of the seventh ended Martin Maldonado getting thrown out at third base, doing it on purpose so a run could score. I thought it was scored easily. Bad base running decision by maldonado. Get the bat out of jose altuves hands. Runner could have been at first. Tim im not proud to say it, even though i say it every telecast, the base running is the worst ive seen it in the four decades ive covered. This is a playoff game. Its a tie game. You cant make that mistake with jose altuve or anybody coming up in that spot. Karl duff identify misses again. 31 to the leadoff hitter. Eduardo altuve has to think anything right center field. Its an approach factor here. Karl thats high, and thats a leadoff walk for altuve. Tim theres that high fastball that he likes to throw. Karl Kevin Conners has a quick update for us. We are witnessing a masterpiece through six on espn. Giolito is perfect. Just struck out the side in the sixth. Don larsen the only playoff perfect game. 30, white sox in the seventh. Karl well, after that leadoff walk to altuve, tyler duffy not perfect and out of the game. Dont be conventional. Kevin harvick . Come on. Its your turn. Get 250,000 miles of protection.

Thats what aarp fights for because thats what everyone deserves. Join us in fighting for whats right. Leave it to the update guy to jinx it. Lucas giolitos perfect day is over. Still, giolito and the white sox lead it 30 on espn. Karl always your fault, kevin. Thats an amazing power you have to eliminate and end a nohitter perfect game from a studio 3,000 miles away. New pitcher taylor rodgers. A big spot with a game tied 11, eighth inning. Michael brantley after the altuve walk. Tim he leads the team in cias but these in the the everyday closer. They see two lefthanded hitters coming up in the next three. They think, weve got get these guys out now. Lets bring in our lefthander. Eduardo high leverage situations. Thats the way the game has been managed. In the recent years you have to understand where youre going to be in the lineup. You know theyre not going hit for brantley or tucker, sow bring in your best in a crucial situation. I like it. Tim this guy has a great slider. He just hasntad the same bite on it this year as he did last year. Hes going to need a slider this layup. Karl brantley going to other way, so the slider will allow that bat path to drop a ball into left field. Eduardo that being said, good the other way in the air. The twins still playing a full shift. Right side of the infield, full of twins. Jorge polanco playing on the right side. Karl Minnesota Twins have lost 16 straight post season games. Maeda was good, left with a 10 lead. Its a knnew game now. Brantley takes that. No swing. 21. This has been a very good minnesota bullpen. Sixth in the league. 3. 62 ere. Third in w. A. R. W a 3. 3 wins above replacement mark. Alex bregman on deck. Blew that by him. Eduardo easy 96 up in the zone. Tim rogers has a twin brother that pitches for the giants, and he pitches for the twins. Karl a twin should pitch for the twins. I see what youre doing. Taylors 29 years old. How old is his brother . Again, the employees and families that are living in the bubble allowed in the ballpark there in minnesota. 22 to brantley. Got him. Big pitch on that slider, and rogers gets brantley. Eduardo again, Michael Brantley has always been a tough out. Showed him the fastball up first and this time goes back to the 83mileperhour slider. Appears to be a strike, and then right out of it. Good job by alex avila making that call. Mr. Duffy loving it. Karl and now alex bregman, the third baseman. Ten homers, 27 rbis in his post season games. Strike one. This is not an elimination game, but tomorrow is for one of these teams. Thats why this is so important right now. It feels like the biggest at bat of the game so far for houston with the cleanup hitter up. Quick throw over the look at altuve. Say whatever you want the drob that Framber Valdez has done so far to keep his team in, gives them an opportunity to tie this game again, has been an unbelievable as and the front Office Making that decision early on greinke, dont let him get by 80 pitches so far its paid off for the astros. Karl 01, way inside. That was ultimate will i the question. There was concern, criticism, questioning the decision to take him out. You made it clear the pitcher wasnt happy, perhaps the manager wasnt, but its now 11 and you got goahead run on base in the eighth inning. Hes come up big in the field twice. Can he come up at the plate . Nope. Thats popped up. Sun is bright, but its caught by the left fielder, Eddie Rosario for the second out. So theyre able to get through. Now lefty on left for rogers to take on kyle tucker. Kyle tucker has been quite a story this year for houston. You could argue in a year in which everybodys numbers are down, his are getting good and its been a breakthrough year for him. Very righthanded loaded on this team, which is why hes so important. Karl thats a good pitch in there for strike one. So youre first in triples and top ten in all the other categories extra base hits, rbis, and stolen bases. You do have that juxtaposition at first base because sano and altuve is over there. End of the bat. Maybe a broken bat. And they got like nine fielders located in right field. Ended up in the glove of kepler. Good job. Bottom eight in a 11 game. Super topsecret mathematical formula they keep stored inside a safe, inside a vault, inside a volcano. Ahhh. Juicedratics.

Karl all the action from this game in a nut sell shh. Its 11. Two hits for the Minnesota Twins as we take a look at this game frack. Kenta maeda went four innings. Threw a lot of pitches. Of pitc. The twins are trying to end a 16game post season losing streak, and theyre running into a very difficult pitcher to hit, and a guy that started for the astros, Framber Valdez. He deals with two, three, and four here in the bottom of a tie game. And that breaking ball has been great. Eduardo byron buxton has not been able to figure it out. At all. Still good numbers against the breaking pitch this season, but swinging at pitches that are away out of the zone. Karl i think i said four, maeda wentinnings. Another strike. White sox, by the way, just add another run. Giolito gave up a hit, so the perfect game is gone, but home runs are back for the white sox. Its 40 chicago in the top of the eighth on espn. 40, white sox. Tim eddie, hes had trouble with that curveball. Do you just throw it again here . Eduardo exactly, throw it again a little lower this time. There. Its a pitch thats designed, again, to look like a strike and get you to chase. Once you see that spin it looks big, and Framber Valdez with that high spin rate making it work for him. Byron buxton, when have you seen a hitter that has 130 plate appearances, an o. B. S. Above 800, but an on base percentage above. 375. You wonder if its sustainable. Mers in a season. Left at sends tucker into the corner. And then he runs out of room. An of course everybody remembers the regular season. In a tie game you start with a runner on second. That is not the case in the post season. Well play it out conventionally. No runner at second. This one, if it stays tie through nine, got a chance to go longer than most of the games in the regular season. Tim if its such a great rule and Everybody Loves it so much, why dont we use it during the postseason . Karl i would. I think the reason as kepler got jammed here. And it is springer and tucker its tucker. I think there was a goal to expedite the game in the regular season because they were jamming 60 games in. They didnt want pitg staffs to get used. They figured this would end games quicker than the conventional style. Tim yes, im well aware of why they put the rule in. Karl i thought you ask a request. Tim this was rhetorical. Im just saying im not a big fan of this. Karl you made it quite clear. Tim just not sure we should use it when were playing next year. Karl in the regular season . Tim yes. Karl im in on it. Eddie, youre laughing again. Eduardo i leave its a here to stay in the regular season. I really do. Even teams have showed that most of the teams dont even bunt the situation depending where they are in the lineup, and its really shown the capacity of what you have in the bullpen, how teams are able to execute, who are not able to execute, and its going to show a little more of that fundamental baseball. Ins came into the game in the inning fed four batters, retired all of them, and got the loss in the game because in the tenth inning we came in with a runner on second base. Faced four batters, got them all out, and got the loss because sergio romo came in and gave it up. Tell me how thats fair. Karl you could definitely change the scoring. Look, regular season is clear their goal is to not have arms taxed, bullpens taxed. I think it is a fair question if it works in the regular season, why do we change thist result in the postseason, if that is whats ultimately going to happen. Sergio romo warms for the twins. And Rocco Baldelli. Framber valdez has definitely been the most valuable player for the astros today, if he can h does. Framber valdez . Five strikeouts since coming into the game. Its eerily quiet in minnesota. In business you have to be then do it all over again.

Heres sergio romo as we start the ninth inning. The astros have yuli gurriel leading things off. First pitch at the knees, in there for a strike. Romos last two appearances, three runs allowed and one out. There are the number of games. His e. R. A. , 237. Strikeouts to walk. And a whip of 1. 5. Gurriel didnt like that call. Eduardo as an it her you cant help, because as soon as you see sergio romo come into the game, you see not hit any part of the plate, youre looking for the sergio romo slider. And so far, two fastballs by romo to gurriel. Karl theres slider. Reaches out and drops it into right center field for a leadoff hit off sr. Er, and that pitch was way off the plate, but a good start for the astros here in the ninth. Eduardo you commit to the atbat to looking for that one pitch. Youre like, im going to let any other pitch go if its a fastball. Yuli gurriel, not trying to do so much with it. Covers not only the plate area, but a little bit more and is able to get that base hit to right center field. Karl now correa. Eduardo ooh. That pitch right there, if hes looking slider, can go a long way. Should have been called a st karl right down broadway for a strike. 11. Romo of course has been around for a while. Hes a threetime world series chafr. With him, the giants in 2010, 12, and 14. 25 1 3 innings of post season work. Over all, a. 355 e. R. A. Jake odorizzi, the starter for the twins through the season is warming in the bullpen. And they will try if they get to the tenth inning to be get some innings out of jake. In an interview with jake, in which he compared himself to maeda this round. If same way the dodgers used maedaing i expect to be use besidety twed by the twins. Tim 31, eddie, does he slow a slider here . Eduardo i would. Thats his bread and butter. Thats whats kept them so long. At this level. Karl instead it was a fastball. This is a little blooper into center field. Thats going to drop. And now the astros are in bigtime business in the ninth with runners at first and second on a couple after soft hits. Eduardo yeah, but what this tells me is two things the astros are looking for the slider the entire time. Saw it with the 02 pitch. Carlos correa is looking slider. He still can catch up. The fastball is right down the middle. He gets jammed. The back of his mind thinking slider. Youre not supposed to get jammed on a 31 fastball coming 88, flat as it was right there. Strong enough to get it out over the infeed for a hit, and now the astros putting a little pressure on sergio romo. Karl heres the eight hitter, reddick. Years back, this would be a bunt situation to get the runners to second and third with one out. Eduardo wow. Balls outside. Board says 10, but d. J. Rayburn called it a strike, if im not mistaken. Karl reddick got one to hit, and he popped it up. Playable for gonzalez. And he makes a tough play. No advancement. Big out, josh reddick. Has come up with a couple of opportunities. Couldnt deliver thenere. So o down, two on. Eduardo yeah, frustrating afternoon for josh reddick. 1 for 4. Two strikeouts to go along with it. But every time there was a runner on base, he was not able to do the job, not even move the runners over by trying to pull the ball. Tim six sacrifice bunt ngs Josh Reddicks career. 4,700 plate appearances. Thats why people dont bunt anymore, because they never ask them to bunt. Karl maldonado with a slow runner. Gurriel at second. Slider. Misses away. Tim eddie, does a player say, i ran us out of the last inning . I got make up for that here . Does that go through a hitters mind here, or are there other things to think about . Eduardo i hope hes thinking in the present right now, and he can put that one in the past. Martin maldonado, hes a guess hitter at the plate. Seen him not only at the Major League Level but also in winter ball, so i wouldnt be surprised if hes guessing slider. Karl 2 0. This ball driven to left field. Its going the hang up. Caught by rosario. No add vavancementadvancement. You can see romo. Hes given up a couple of singles and now two outs. Hes a George Springer at bat away from getting out of it. Eduardo yeah, a lot of people wondering why josh reddick did not bunt. Thats no not the game that the astros played all season. And this is one of the observations that youll see throughout this post season its post season baseball. Youre supposed to play different. Be if guys arent used to bunting, they dont know how to do it. You wont see their managers asking them to do something theyre not used to doing. Karl springer, a rbi single in the seventh. And romo, down in the zone. Tim eddie, another first pitch where springer didnt offer, because theyre not throwing him a strike. Eduardo im jogeorge spring i sell out completely on the slider. Its all hes been getting this afternoon. Theyll show him the heater but the slider is a constant. Karl mm. Started at his left knee and slid in over the plate. Eduardo [ speaking Foreign Language ] thats what makes you speak a little spanish on abc. Tim what did you say in spanish . Eduardo i just said, oh, my goodness. If youre sitting on this pitch, that can go a long way. 75 Miles Per Hour. Karl the guy they want up in this situation, springer. He did the exact thing you wanted him to do on the prior pitch identified, saw, swung, and he missed badly. Eduardo i mean, in the back of your mind, youre thinking, i dont want to be surprised with the fastball, but sergio romo is going to get through this inning with his number one pitch, and the number one for him is the slider. Again, we saw Carlos Correa get jammed on a 31 pitch. Most likely sitting slider, quick enough to catch up to it. Karl 12 to springer. George. And thats at the shortstop. The forceout dropped and the twins stay alive because there was no advance from the runner at third. The bases will loaded. The twins nearly blew it. Should have been out of the inning. Eduardo Jorge Polanco got a little comfortable right here. Did not put his feet in position. Underarmed the side armed the throw. Just off balance throw. And luis arraez could not do anything but just try to stop it. Again, he could have put himself in position. You dont even see Carlos Correa in the picture on this one. Karl and gurriel had no chance to move any further than third. And now you have altuve. With the bases loaded and a tie game in the ninth, and two down. And ball one. Eduardo guys, i have to advantage altuve on this unwork just because this is a guy that will sit on a pitch, and hell sit slider. Sergio romo has to be able to execute well with that slider, locate it well, pressure on romo. Tim we have missed the crowd so much this year, the energy and the atmosphere. This is a perfect example. This place would be crazy right now if there were fans in the stands. Karl without question. Altuve would have had an opportunity had gurriel not run himself into the third out a few innings ago, took the bat out of altuves hands. He now has the bat in his hands and a tie game with two outs in the top of the ninth and the wdonaloaded. Out, not gurriel. Inside, 21. Eduardo just a showme pitch. That just tells you how much confidence he has a that pitch right there. Karl jose altuve is 1 for 5 in his career with the based loaded in the postseason. Will the error hurt the twins . Thats a good pitch. 22. Tim they made 20 errors all season fewest in the american league. And at a time when this of to make that out, they made a mistake. Now lets see if hall altuve cae them pay. Slider, eddie, 22 . Eduardo yeah, and you just saw altuve take a fastball right there outside corner. Hes been sitting on it. Karl wow. 32 now for romo. Tim and everybodys running. Eduardo and everybody at home should be standing right now, because thats what the crowd could be doing here at target field. 32, sliders coming, fellas. Karl if it makes you feel any better im on my feet, eddie. Eduardo im on mine, too. Karl one of baseballs best hitters over the last four years, jose altuve. And he walked him, and the run comes in. And the astros, on a bases loaded walk, lead it 21 in the ninth. Eduardo he went with the fastball. Thats the one pitch that he does not have good control over. And thats the one hes not going to sleep well. The twins arent able to come back in the bottom of the ninth inning. Fastball up in the zone. Altuve, give him credit, thats a pitch that he usually swings at. Earlier this season. Hes had the discipline twice to walk twice in this game. Probably the biggest walk of his career. Tim high fastballs to altuve. Youre right, eddie, he laid off of them, and now hes got them a run. Karl brought in sergio romo. He gave up two singlings and then got two outs, and then there was a huge airer made by Jorge Polanco. Which allowed the bases to stay loaded after the altuve walk its a houston 21 lead.

Karl well, theres sergio romo, who had no success, although he did get burned by the error from shortstop Jorge Polanco. They had a forced out at second. He threw it wide and allowed the inning to continue and then a based loaded walk. They have 16 straight postseason games, which is the major league record, and now theyll find themselves on the short end of a 21 game. Still based loaded. Caleb thielbar into the game for minnesota. Tim undrafted free agent. Didnt pitch in the big leagues for five years. Was going to become a pitching coach in college. Has had a very nice season asdea in the a post season game. Brantley swings at the first pitch and fouls it away. Tim just think how the narrative will change on this series if it ends this way. People are going to be talking about, the twins cant win a post season game and the astros experience came in handy. Amazing howing on a short series, things can change so quickly. Karl ill be talking about Framber Valdez and the error. Whew. Slow breaking ball at 67 Miles Per Hour in there are for a str eduardo thats tough when youre geared up for the fastball or at least the sweeping slider with a 67mileperhour pitch. Shades of zack greinke earlier this afternoon. He threw two of those same velocity. Karl close. 12. K zone did have it getting a little bit of that strike zone. Ohio state ton bullpen is empty. Looks like this is Framber Valdezs game to win. Another breaking ball. Brantley delivers that many one down in front of buxton. Correas going to come in to score. And so is springer and just like that, the uston asave a ninty, hind in the count. Eduardo showed him the curveball early on. Guy like Michael Brantley, they dont care if its lefties or righties on the mound. They store that pitch in the back of your mind. He waited on it. Nothing byron buxton can do. As Michael Brantley gets his bench excited. Karl and now you start to see some emotion from the astros. As bregman bats with runners at first and third. Caleb thielbar held lefthanders to a. 158 average 3 for 19. Tim thats a pretty good lefthanded hitter he gave up a hit to, there. Beautiful job staying back on that. Karl 02. Eduardo rocco bar dell la and wes johnson theyre having a conversation. But you press the right buttons, you do everything right, but when your defense does not execute, thats when everything goes wrong that many play with Jorge Polanco, lazy on his feet, ended up throwing it away. An easy play, 64 force out, ends up costing them in a big way. Karl so this game could come down to the play that bregman made and the play that polanco didnt make. Might have turned this whole game. Karl and bregmans play was in the first inning. Polancos was in the ninth inning. A huge walk in this inning to jose altuve, whos now at third base. And, you know, you never know whats going to cause it, but maybe the astros after winning their first postseason game will start to ask, why not us . Eduardo think about it, karl, two teams in this wild card that finishes the season two games under opportunity are dusty bakers team and the milwaukee brewers. Karl yep. Keep looking a at those twins left to right in the front row. That covers a lot of twins right there. Karl is that rod carew up in third row . Tim yeah, love it. Eduardo youd be in the first, but theyre social distancing. Karl Rocco Baldelli made the point, and you understand it, not a lot of guys have been here for the 16 playoff losses, but tim we keep bringing it up. How could they not hear it at least . 22 breaking ball. Bregman, slow roller. Fielded and thrown cleanly to second. That one went well. This one did not. And this one may decide the game. Po polanco with a good throw. They had the out. Instead, everybody was safe. Led to a based load walk for al and the lead for the astros. Then it was Michael Brantley who delivered two more.

[ feeling great by jacobo, miller, and stevenson ] im feeling good i just thought you should know we gngeto s t m of the ninth and yaat easrn t espn. Aaron judge in the batters box. The yankees are healthy again, which is where aaron boone wanted them. Pitching matchup there, bieber and cole. Zack greinke and Framber Valdez. Look at the numbers in the righthand column. Four innings and no hits, no earn earned runs. He has been great. Fit reliever in history with four nohit innings and Pedro Martinez the last to do phi innings. In fact, he went six innings with no hits. Alz trng to la ts plane and get the last three outs. Thats a good start at Eddie Rosario swings and misses. Tim this is so unusual that any pitcher would hit five innings. Even though hes a starter coming in in relief. Closer always comes in in the ninth to end this game and it looks like theyre going let this kid finish. Eduardo and they should. One of the big reasons also is wi three game seri,odays off if game to have ryan pressley, if needed tomorrow and also the next day, hes thrown become to back days with three days in a row, something that presley has not done this year yet. Karl broken bat. Thats a fair ball. Rosario didnt even leave the box. Twins, one down. Tim eduardo, this is so similar to what you were talking about request Charlie Moreton in the world series in 2017. They were werent going pitch him the final four innings. They said, lets leave him in. They watched the game and realized, this is valdez at his best. Lets leave eduardo yeah. Rosario not happy at all, and valdez has been able to do that to all of these players with that curveball. Thats a high spin rate curveball, and not only to the mince twins, but the outings hes had this season has given dusty baker the confidence to be able to keep him out there. Karl sano keeps it alive with one down, one aboard. And the first hit allowed by Framber Valdez. Looks like the astros do have ryan pressly up. Eduardo yeah. Theyll give hip one more hitter. Im dusty baker, you give him one more hitter and after that, you can get if he does not get polanco then you can go get him. Lets see if thats what they do. Karl ball one to Jorge Polanco. Game one, best of three. You see toronto and tampa bay under way, 00 there in the third. Misses down again. Tim astudillo on deck, which means if he gets to bat here they will have used their four catchers in this game. Eduardo good take right there. You dont see a lot of hitters doing that. Its a 41 game. Your job is just try to get on base. To get that tying run at the plate. Karl polancos going to keep it alive. This was in front of reddick and Framber Valdez grimaces, as he is off the mound, knowing what this is likely going to mean for him. Eduardo yeah. Hes done. And if you look at the last two hits the Minnesota Twins were able to get, both by sano and polanco opposite field hitting and they were both able to hit the fastball the other way. Thats a pitch thats patented to try to get to you roll over for the double play. Give a lot of credit to polanco right there, driving it.
