Houston Astros vs Minnesota Twins LIVE Play-by-Play GAME 3 June 15th 2025
here’s another look at Good morning Good afternoon good evening wherever you guys are This is Brandon with Ghost Tros I apologize for the late start I seriously was dreaming about my alarm It was going off but I thought it was a dream I was having some kind of strange dream about it And then suddenly I was lying there and I kind of woke up a little bit and I became aware that I was lying on my bed I wasn’t dreaming And so I got up and looked at my clock and saw oh crap it’s after 3:00 And the game starts or started today I think at 3:10 So it’s been going for 20 minutes Right now the game is 00 The Twins have a hit There’s no score yet I do have some water heating up so I’ll have some coffee ready shortly Victor Keratini is at the plate First pitch is right in the middle of the plate A 76 mile per hour curveball Simeon Woods Richardson is on the mound today for the Twins Next pitch is hit out into left field but kind of a floater Caught by the third baseman No problem 108 Next batter is at the plate Looks like Jake Myers He takes that pitch for a strike Here comes the next pitch Almost in the dirt One and one is the count against Myers Here comes the next Another one almost in the dirt Curve ball that time Two balls in one strike to good old Jake Swinging a miss there Oh he got a piece of it Little foul tip Either way it’s strike two There’s the the timeout slow motion swing by Jake Meyers I appreciate you guys being here as usual I’ll get to the live chat in just a moment Right in the bottom of the zone Strike three Jay Meyers strikes out for number two All right Cam Smith is at the plate He chops the very first pitch down the third baseline He had last night’s walk-off hit right up the middle to win the game three to two He said it was the first time in his entire life he’s ever had a walk-off hit Curveball on the top of the zone for strike two 0 and2 Looks like Richardson is putting a lot of pitches either in or close to the zone Here comes the 02 pitch That one’s in the dirt It’s an interesting looking bat that Cam Smith’s using Baby blue It’s like a Houston Oiler bat Here comes the pitch Hits on right field Looks like it’s going to be easily playable And it is out number three Woods Richardson is from the excuse me he’s from the Houston area apparently Three up and three down for the Astros in the inning No problem right there for Woods Richardson Top of the third coming up Brandon Walter on the mound today I think my hot water’s ready Let me go grab it By the way I got a new hat I want to tell you about that in just a moment Be right back Ghosts All right they’re talking with Brandon Walters’s father First pitch of the inning on the way to Brooks Lee outside ball one There’s the next pitch A little inside The cutter missing two balls and no strikes to Lee Yesterday of course in Japan was Father’s Day Today is Father’s Day in many other places So happy Father’s Day to you guys Oh my gosh Brandon Walter just gave up a home run to the Crawford box This is why they’re talking with his dad One to nothing twins That’s got to suck Walter’s dad is being interviewed right now about his son and he gives up His dad said “Oh they put on the stupid Spartan helmet.” He said his his son is pitching well He says that while his son gives up a solo home run Got to love it Strike one to Christian Vasquez Come on Walter You got to keep up the Astros in the game here You had a good couple of innings Don’t blow it The count is one and one to Vasquez Tommy don’t like Here’s the pitch that’s hit up the middle by Vasquez Should be caught by Meyers and is one down I’ve been meaning to get to the live chat Thank you so much Sergio for kind of holding down the fort while I was getting things sorted out I really do appreciate it And hello Caesar Nice to see you Hey Jordan nice to see you here I was a little late Thank you for stopping in First pitch to Ryan Jeffers is in there for strike one 36 pitches now for Walter Here comes the next one outside One ball one strike with one out Here comes the 101 Fouled off 92 miles an hour on the outside edge One ball and two strikes Glenn Glenn it’s nice to see you What in the world’s going on with the highlight window here i see this one’s hit in the infield way up in the air Keratini is over from first base Kind of strange seeing him over there Diaz behind the plate today Keratini playing first giving Christian Walker some time off Carlos Korea comes to the plate with two outs First pitch is on the way Lots of movement on that change up but it was too far outside for ball one Here comes the next pitch Hey that was a little inside but strike one by the umpire Here comes the next pitch Fouled back The Swiffer A little bit elusive for Korea One ball on two strikes with two outs Nobody on Here comes pitch Let’s hit to third It’s going to be hard for Gor He can’t get it there It’s not a bad play Gor playing third for the Astros today Brad is still out But that was just a a little too difficult Koreah is fast enough to beat that out So despite the good play by Guor Carlos is on with two outs Willie Castros rips that one into left field on the very first pitch That’s the second hit if you don’t count the solo homer Three hits this inning against Walter Solo home run and a couple of singles Cut her right in the zone Just ripped it out into left field Two runners on with two outs Tai France at the plate Come on Walter You got to shut this down Swinging a miss Cutter inside and low France grounded out his last at bat Here comes the next pitch Right in the bottom of the zone Hit out to right field Way back to the wall Might be trouble Cam Smith with a little jumping catch right at the wall Good job by Cam getting that right by the wall Almost another home run given up by Walter there Mere feet mere feet from leaving the park again That would have been a three-run homer Astros could have been down four to nothing just like that Holy cow guys Talk about scary This game could have gotten out of hand right there Good grief Walter Calm down mister One to nothing The Twins are up three hits in that inning Suddenly they go from having one hit no runs to four hits and one run Could have been worse But you know what the Twins have a pitcher on the mound that the Astros should be able to hit Absolutely Absolutely they should be able to hit this guy Not sure why they don’t even have a hit yet to be honest But you know how the stros go this year what they’re hitting I’m going to try to hurry up and get this first cup of coffee made cuz I really needs it I needs it I need this My three laps is three lapses of coffee my prices Man it feels so nice when I go out into the into the house on the uh outside of the bedroom I have a door a sliding door in the back of the house and it’s just it’s slatted so nobody can come in but the air you can see outside and the air comes in It’s nice and cool It feels wonderful out there First pitch at Cooper Hmel Wow look at that Ty France makes a good play on Hmel there The very first pitch Hmel rips it Try to get it through the hole there Great catch by Ty France And he throws it over the pitcher for out number one Good play by France One up and one down Hummel is 0 for 10 with the Stros Duban goes after the first pitch too Koreah picks it up and fires over to first Two pitches two outs The Astros going down in order really quickly That brings up Louis Gormo or Luis Gor A little high Little high for ball one Two outs No runners on Here’s a one pitch Could have been a strike there at the very bottom of the zone but called the ball [Music] Woo suddenly I had to sneeze Two balls and no strikes That one is a strike Almost the identical pitch to the last one Right in the bottom of the zone Two balls one strike to Guiam Here’s the toss Way above the zone Ball three Three and one Gor making a pitch Another sneeze Three and one Strike two 94 mileph fast ball Looks like Garm might have to swing the bat We’ll see Unless it’s just way out of the zone Here comes the 3-2 pitch He does swing Strikes out Foul tip into the glove of Vasquez Pretty easy inning for Woods Richardson They had lots of guys out there throwing out the first pitch They’re showing highlights of that earlier Aser is doing absolutely nothing at the plate right now Three up and three down like nothing First two batters two swings two outs Goray took a lot of pitches but ultimately struck out So a non-productive bat Let’s take a look at the live stream chat I see that I have 23 people following along and 19 likes That’s very generous guys considering that I got started late and I’m sleepy but happy Father’s Day to all of you I know that it’s uh it’s been Father’s Day since yesterday for me It’s not Father’s Day now but not not not in Japan but it was yesterday Let’s see here Thanks Ace of Waters Brendan says “I’ll take the rookies over Rogers.” Yeah right now I’ll give them a shot Why not hey Juan Good to see you And Ghost Rose indeed I wanted to tell you guys I had another one of those really lucky moments yesterday You know back when I was working full-time and I wasn’t sick I uh used to every year on Father’s Day I’d buy myself some Air Jordans That was my thing My daughter was taken away by her mom and she really hurt our relationship My daughter started disrespecting me over time She realized “Hey dad doesn’t have any power over me.” So she started disrespecting me and the way her mom views me kind of rubbed off on her Very first pitch goes in there to Walner He grounds it to Keratini who scoops it up and steps on the base Hey just like the Astros did and their last at bat very first pitch ground out Maybe they’ll have another ground out right here That’d be funny Jonah Bride comes to the plate Didn’t see him in the lineup in this series He popped up his last atbat Here comes the pitch right in there 88 miles an hour The cutter finding its mark No ground out on the first pitch for the Twins 01 Next pitch is a little low and outside 101 But anyway because of my situation I can’t just go buy a pair of Air Jordans for Father’s Day right now So next pitch just barely outside That could have been a strike Just barely got the edge there but ball two Two and one Here comes the 2-1 to Bride from Walter Bride check swing Bounces it down the first baseline Two and two But I went to the secondhand store and I was looking around and they have a section of really like um MLB hats and they never had the Astros Never But check it out Look what I found And And it’s a fitted hat and it’s exactly my size Can you believe it and the price was only $12 $12 guys This hat right here sells online even used for like 60 How awesome is that so I got a new Astros hat yesterday for Father’s Day Ground ball to Dubon at second He fires over to first for out number two So they do get the ground out on the second batter but it took a few more pitches Two up and two down And this shirt also I got at the secondhand store This is uh some kind of local organization or something that’s related to the Hiroshima Karp baseball team The local Hiroshima professional baseball team Next batter is Harrison Bader The first pitch out of the zone for ball one But the reason I got this because not only is it a CARP shirt but on the back it has a sports car that’s similar to a Lamborghini Little alone inside bowl too And right above the car it says imagination and it’s very important to me So I got this shirt to go with it So this is my new Father’s Day stuff that I’m wearing today Next pitch Here we go Highing in the zone Highing inside Strike one 55 pitches now for Walter here in the top of the fourth Here’s the 2-1 pitch Swinging a miss Good toss The Swiffer Two balls two strikes Bader takes a little moment to rethink his options Now he’s back in the box Here’s the two- two pitch Tapped down the third base side foul The cow remains two and two Mark says “Checking in Good day Happy Father’s Day.” Thank you Mark Same to you Hope everyone here who’s a father is having a great Father’s Day And everyone with a father has a father who’s having a great day today if he’s here Fouled off again down the third baseline The count remains two and two Yes that’s right Bit dog The Toyo Hiroshima carp Here’s the pitch Bader fouls it off again This time into the crowd on the first base side Oh man that’s good quy Good quy That’s real good cover right there You know what I’m saying here’s the pitch Strike three All right One two three fourth inning for Brandon Walter Walter does not have the oldtimey jam like he did in the last inning No oldtimey jam for Brandon Walter I want to make a nice Homer image Let’s see Home run image All right just trying to get comfortable and woken up I was really looking forward to this game tonight and I went to bed early I had a little trouble for the first two hours really getting to sleep I I got in bed around 8:00 last night Jeremy Pñena comes to the plate Astros have literally gone nine up and nine down Not a single base runner First pitch to the Flash is on the way Bounced foul down the third base side 0 and one is the count Nice hat with great price Yes Caesar I’m so happy to have a really nice quality fitted hat that I can use primarily during live streams or whenever I’m dressed up going out on the city Swinging a miss there at the bottom of the zone The slider sliding underneath Jeremy Pena’s bat My other Astros hat that I have here is it’s definitely not something you’d wear with nice clothes There we go with another strikeout Pñena goes down Not looking like a like an all-star today It’s funny Not as interested in Josh Miller as I am Altuveet Hey look at that Yiner hits it all the way out to the wall Oh just shy of being out And if he had hit it further to the left it would have been off the wall but he put it in that pocket Very first pitch Diaz goes pretty deep Diaz gets up there and out of there so fast man Two up and two down My hero comes to the plate He had a ground out earlier He takes the timeout to get settled in Still no hits for the Astros and no runners on Here comes the pitch to Altuve He grounds that one to Koreah Chris scoops it up and fires the first Woo altuve was flying down the line but he barely gets him He had to rush Altuve made Koreah work for it but he grounds out again for the second time Woods Richardson has only thrown 30 pitches Guys you realize that 7.25 pitches per inning The Astros are not making him work at all Not only are the Astros 12 up and 12 down in this game not a single base runner but they’re only making him throw 7.25 pitches per inning That is a batting failure But if you look at the Astros lineup though I mean you got a few guys in there should be hitting the ball Pñena Diaz and Altuve leading it off And they they should have been on base at least once Keratini Meyers and Smith Hmel Dubon Gor Yeah this is not the Astros ace lineup right now But still four innings with not even a single base runner 12 Astros retired in a row and Woods Richardson not even having to break a sweat to get them out 7.25 pitches At this rate he’s going to have a complete game shut out no hitter against the Astros If that happens and and it would happen at a game where I have to get up in the middle of the night right i just made a pretty funny image Hopefully I’ll get to use it I’ll show it to you guys Let me open it up There it is Check that out Waiting for the Astros to get a hit so I can show that All right Walter’s back on the mound There’s a swing and a line drive out to left field Vasquez lines out Apparently before I could even get back to the game we have ourselves a hit And our base runner on first base Lee with a single one away Ryan Jeffers is now at the plate Here’s the pitch Little low and inside Ball one Five hits for the Twins Naria one for the Stros Jeffers 0 for two today with a strikeout and a pop out Here’s the pitch right in there 92 mile per hour sinker One and one Here comes the next pitch The one and one Did he hit him yeah he hit him on the leg on the back leg Hit by pitch Two runners on You know what that means we have ourselves an old timey jam Got him on the inside of that right leg that back right leg That’s the uh the oldtimey jam that we got going on right there The Gordon oldtimey jam Got runners on first and second It brings up Carlos Koreah Koreah with runners on first and second and only one out Double play ball would be perfect right now Put him to shame Walter swing a miss That’s a good start The change up Sergio says Walter might have had a hiccup and he seems to be on top of it Well if he can get out of this right here then yeah but a little shaky right now with two runners on and one one out It’s grounded towards Keratini who scoops it up and steps on first for out number two but the runners advance to second and third A little tap tap tapper by Korea That was a good result for out number two but now we have runners on second and third That brings up Willie Castro He singled his last at bat First pitch on the way Quite a bit outside for ball one Here’s the next pitch Another one way outside Ball two Two and0 Come on Walter Here’s the two and 0 Another one outside but fouled off by Castro Two and one is the count The sinker got him to go around Mark says “Okay got sound now.” Are you talking about from me yeah I I if you saw the the stream earlier but there was no sound It’s just because I wasn’t talking or I wasn’t at the computer Two balls one strike Here’s the toss Swinging a miss Good one on the inside blowing inside the Swiffer Castro tried to grab that Swiffer and sweep the dirt He failed It’s still dirty Castro Fidel Castro Willie Fidel Castro 71 pitches now for Walter Here comes the next one Two balls and two strikes with two outs two runners on in the dirt Full count So are we going to get the strike out you know Tommy wants swingy Tommy wants swingy Here comes the 3-2 pitch from Walter He got the swing but he fouled it off down the third baseline The count remains three and two Jordan says “Incredible Astro hat found in Japan on Father’s Day.” Absolutely Very happy Very very happy And it’s it’s in it still has a sticker on it It’s nice brand new condition A rare find here Everything’s Dodgers right everything’s Dodgers because of Otani Strike three Yes that’s right Walter doesn’t get the swing but he doesn’t need it He puts it right in the middle of the plate And Willie Fidel Castro can’t handle the truth Boom Strike three baby Walter gets out of the oldtimey Gordon jam Oh my gosh I love that image It’s so funny It’s so funny All right How about that oh man that was good stuff right there Sergio says “I know it’s early but it’s time to get someone warming up in the bullpin.” Uh let’s see Around 75 pitches or so in the going into the sixth I agree They should start getting somebody warmed up Actually when Walter comes out into the top of the sixth that’s when they should start warming somebody up I think that’s my feeling As as Walter goes out to the mound they should have somebody warming up in the bullpen I I agree with you about that They don’t need them warming up right now but getting them warmed up at the beginning of the next inning would be good Yep Bit dog says “Look at our seven eight nine hitters today plus no paradus either.” Yeah that’s right We got new guys out there and our top of the batting order is not producing yet but nobody’s even gotten on base yet We haven’t gotten a walk We haven’t gotten a hit by pitch Nothing And not only that guys they’re not making the pitcher work He’s only averaging 7.25 pitches per inning That’s ridiculous Hem I don’t know who you are but you’re going to get banned What was Phil looking at pais injury really changes our scoring capabilities until he gets back Sergio yeah I agree We need Pis considering what we’ve been able to do What we’ve been able to do without Yordon is pretty amazing But now that we don’t have him it’s painful One ball one strike to Keratini Apparently I missed the first pitch but one and one is the count Predises on the bench at the stadium watching the game Here’s the pitch Hit high in the air on the infield Should be taken by the third baseman And it is one away on the infield fly out by Keratini The Batman goes down like Robin 13 batters in a row retired by Woods Richardson Jordan says we need to at least tie it up here I agree It’d be nice to take the lead but I’d be happy if we start hitting the ball even if we don’t get any points Make him pitch Give him something to sweat about You know what I’m saying first pitch to Meyers is in there for a strike Jake Myers and his family Here comes the 01 to Meyers Grounds that one up to middle Craig can’t handle it It bounces off his glove and there’s no play It was a diving catch Likely going to be a hit for the Astros The first one of the game Jake Meyers is the guy to come through Right down the middle a little high in the zone A change up and he punished it Craig got his glove on it but was not able to come up with it All right Cam Smith at the plate with one runner on Heck yes Now we have a hit finally in a base runner First pitch in the bottom part of the zone That was a good one to be swinging at 77 mileph curve ball and he didn’t go with it Runner on first One Oh I’m sorry 0 and one is the count to Cam Smith last night’s hero Here’s Whoa he almost got hit in the head He had a run out of there One ball one strike Woods Richardson with the fast ball almost to the face of Cam Smith Look at this Woo 94 miles an hour Nolan Ryan They said Nolan Ryan called that an oldfashioned bow tie Here’s a pitch Ground ball 78 miles an hour Chop foul down the third baseline One ball and two strikes to Cam Come on Cam Crank it up I use says “How are we making this six erra guy look like Sai Young?” I agree I couldn’t agree more This guy is one that we should be destroying We should be destroying him Here comes the pitch 2-1 or one-two rather Now it’s 2-2 Loan outside in the doit The slider slid right into the dirt Ban me for telling the truth of your team cheating the game You’re talking about something that happened a long time ago and something that all other MLB teams do Yeah you’re useless You’re just a troll No point in allowing you to stick around if you’re just going to troll Jay Meyers was stealing but it’s fouled off by Cam The count remains two and two so Myers will have to go back to first base He is in timeout for 30 minutes because he’s a a troll loser Here’s the next pitch to Cam Fouls it off again Staying alive Two and two Now this is what I’m talking about guys Cam Smith hasn’t gotten a hit yet but he’s making Richardson work making him throw a lot of pitches Now this is the first time he’s had to really work so this could get to him Here’s the 2- two He throws over to first base Myers is back 42 pitches now for Richardson His count is slowly increasing Here’s the 22 to Cam Come on crank it up Outside Good take Full count Hmel is on deck One away Meyers on first Full count on Cam Smith Crank it up Cam Oh Myers is off Oh fouled off his foot Myers will have to go back to first He was stealing Oh that doesn’t look good Cam fouled it off his back leg He’s limping around Take a look at this Right off his knee That hurt Take another look at this from this angle Yeah right off the top of the knee there [Music] He immediately went down trainers out there with him right now We definitely don’t need Cam to have an injured leg My gosh man What is with the Astros right now first the pitchers and now the batters Sergio says “Block this fool Let him waste his time like old news.” is like where Jimmy Hoff I put him in timeout like a child Sergio I have the ability to put people in timeout says Cam Homer maybe it’d be nice Cam is putting up quite the the battle right now there’s the walk-off that he had last night right now we don’t need uh there’s no chance for a walk-off but we need a big hit right now he is putting up a good battle at the plate Looks like Cam’s going to be okay He’s shaking it off Myers is still at first base with one out full count 44 pitches now for Woods Richardson Here comes the 3-2 Jake is off Fouled off again Meer is trying that steel again man Big battle at the plate between Woods Richardson and Cam Smith Bit dog says “Come on Cam.” I use says Cam Homer I hope so Willard says Brandon Nastros need Robert Jr Robert Jr I wouldn’t mind having him in the lineup Is that That’s check swing Myers is into second with a steel Is that a walk the throw didn’t matter They did an appeal but they said that Cam didn’t go So on the check swing it’s ball four Excellent Excellent batting performance there by Cam Smith Yeah he held up just barely Just barely Myers was stealing and there was a throw but it didn’t matter The pitching coach is now going to come out and have a little chitchat with Woods Richardson How do you like that the Stros are winning I’m sorry losing one to nothing But yet the first visit to the mound doesn’t go to Brandon Walter It goes to Simeon Woods Richardson It looks like Richardson has himself an oldtimey jam All right Hmel comes to the plate Cooper Hmel He has a really big opportunity right here does he not with one out runners on first and second Astros haven’t had a single base runner on this entire game Not a single hit Now they have a hit and two base runners with one out And Hmel at the plate Here’s the pitch Low and inside ball one The pitching challenges continue for Woods Richardson this inning Hopefully they will continue until he gets knocked out of the game Come on own this guy Here’s the pitch to Hmel Swinging a miss Another one low and inside But Hmel went after that one That could have been ball two Should have been ball too Where’s Jimmy Hoffa is a funny comment by the way Sergio He can go think about where’s Jimmy Hoffa That’s true Let him go consider that in the corner in the timeout where I put him Hmel hits it sharply down the line but foul One ball on two strikes I forgot to put my second base runner glow on There it is Lots of nice pitches this inning for Woods Richardson He’s having to work and sweat here in Dyking Park Game three Here’s the one and two pitch Swing and a miss for Hmel Are you kidding me another one low and almost down the dirt Hmel what are you thinking man what do you think you’re the next Jacob Melton we got a left-handed batter at the plate a prospect and he goes down He has a meltdown A Jacob meltdown Out number two on that strike out That brings up Mauricio Dubon Come on man We need you We need you to come through here with a big hit Here’s the pitch He goes after the first one fouls it off Not surprised he was swinging on that first pitch 0 and1 He’s also 041 today with a ground out But Debon all we need right now is a single Jay Meyers is on second He could easily score on a single Here’s a pitch in the dirt Blocked by Vasquez Runners can’t advance It wouldn’t have been a bad time to be double stealing 32 people following along Thanks for being here The chat is relatively quiet to have so many people listening in Now it’s 34 Thank you for liking the live stream by the way And happy Father’s Day to everyone out there Astros trying to get something done here Two outs two runners on One count to Dubon Here’s the pitch to Doobie Set up the middle Is it going to get down no it’s line out All right Well like I said I’m happy that the Astros are at least making the pitcher work now getting getting a hit getting a walk making him sweat a little bit I’m glad to see that they are starting to get to this pitcher I don’t think he’s going to last another inning My prediction is that this this pitcher will not make it through the sixth inning the bottom of the sixth The Astros are going to have a big sixth Get at least a couple of runs maybe three maybe more That’s my prediction okay for the next the next inning Let’s put that in the live stream as a poll Start a poll Astros big inning sixth Seventh Eighth Ninth these are my guesses Okay you guys can tell me your opinion When will the Astros have a big inning that’s the question That is the question All right Walter’s back on the mound The very first pitch to Ty France is a swing and miss high and outside on that fast ball Strike one Good toss Good toss my friend Astros are down one to nothing here in the bottom of or I’m sorry the top of the sixth That’s hit hard out into right field but foul That was not too far away from the Crawford boxes Calm down there Walter Luckily strike two A ground out and a fly out Ty France did squeak in a home run in game one against the Stros Here’s the pitch high and outside Ball one one and two Yeah check it out They’ve already got the bull bullpen going for Minnesota Minnesota outside ball two Two and two Kind of surprised to see that they’ve got the bullpin going The next pitch is fouled off into the right side out off into the crowd Two balls and two strikes to tie France Here’s a two- two from Walter Fouled off of his leg He seems okay Count remains two and two Willard says “Car 54 Astros please hit with the runners on bases please Where?” Yeah that’s right We need an emergency some emergency assistance That Hmel at bat might be the worst ever Jordan you have you seen uh Jacob Melton bat Those are the worst That’s ball three I forgot this umpire is like one of those guys as he yells out really loud full count but it sounds like he’s saying strike three Swinging a miss Speaking of strike three how about that you know what that means tommy likey Tommy wants swingy Tommy likey Tommy wants swingy Matt Wallner is up with one out Nobody on Here’s the toss from Walter Right in there An 80 mile per hour Swiffer 0 and one Au says this game may be over if we don’t score Yeah we have to score We have to score How many pitches are in this inning that’s a good question I was wondering about that too Wallner hits that one out into right field right center but Cam runs over and grabs it out number two Go back to the dugout in shame Walner Two away Think about this performance today guys Brandon Walter He gets Jonah Bride right here That’s six inning as a one-run ball You can’t complain about that at all Look at that strike one in the bottom of the zone on the cutter Five hits and one run so far as I have a disconnect on the game and a reconnect I guess my satellite was reconnecting Swing and a miss Hey how about that tommy likey Tommy wants swingy strike three Another strike out for Walter And that’s three up and three down in the sixth Heck yes Good job Mr Brandon Walter I like what you’ve done so far mister Six innings five hits one run given up Had a little bit of trouble couple of times Gave up the solo homer but the Astros should be up on this game five to one right now They’re batting against a guy that they should be destroying Just to give you an idea of just how little confidence the Twins have in their pitcher they already had people warming up in the in the the bullpen despite him having such a low pitch count and performing so well up until the fifth inning Okay that should tell you something The Astros should be destroying this guy and they haven’t been I need to get some more water going for hot water I’ll be right back guys Okay I missed the first pitch to Gor There’s the second pitch and that would be a ball The count is one and one I tried to get my water going as quickly as I could Thank you for waiting for me guys One and one Here comes the pitch 97 right in there Brock Stewart is in the game They didn’t mess around The Twins coaches No bullpin action on the Astros side but the Twins lost complete confidence immediately pulling out Woods Richardson Foul tip into the glove of the catcher and Gor strikes out That’s one away for the Astros Brock Stewart with just four pitches That’s all he needed to put away Gor Brock Stewart Brock Stewart He’s now facing Jeremy Pñena Let’s see if Pena can have a different result here The first pitch is outside for ball one 29 people following along and 26 likes Thanks a lot guys I appreciate you being here Here’s the next pitch Tena the 1 and0 in the dirt and outside 85 mileph swiffer cleaning up that dirt There we go I got my hat pulled down That’s in there for a strike 94 mile per hour cutter Stewart finding the strike zone Pñena just standing back and taking it Two balls one strike Kind of making him throw some pitches in the zone Let’s see what we got here on the 2-1 pitch 93 on the outside edge A half swing by Pena Fouls it off onto the first base side Two and two is the count Pñena takes a little stroll around the countryside outside the batter’s box What we might call in Japanese inaka The word inaka means countryside That’s where I live in the inaka Two balls and two strikes Here’s the toss to Pñena Uh 96 A couple inches above the zone and a swing and miss Another strikeout for Pena Are you kidding me two strikeouts for Pena today He’s hurting his batting average and his chances for being one of the best players this year playing like this 0 for two is Mr Yiner Diaz a line out and a ground out He had a pretty strong hit earlier He’s been driving the ball really well lately He taps that one to the first base side A little liner a Yiner liner on the very first pitch And that’s out number three So no trouble for Brock Stewart The Twins make the right decision by pulling out Woods Richardson because the Astros are about to light his butt up Guys the sun is already starting to come up out here It’s 4:30 in the morning Right before the start of the bottom of the 6th I went out to put on some more hot water I stepped outside because I’m reforming the inside of the house You might be surprised to know that right now my house has no kitchen and has technically technically doesn’t really have a bathroom But because of the design of the house originally this house the this main part of the house here it was built 200 years ago If you see those Japanese films where inside the house the whole house is made of wood The roof is made of grass The the walls don’t really exist I have no walls in here Um you can see up there like right up there above me that’s kind of a half wall but below that it’s just sliding doors This whole house is just sliding doors So I could take out all the sliding doors and you can see through the whole house And the floors are tatami mats And on the outside all the way around the house is like a porch It’s called Enawa but it’s just like a porch that goes all the way around the outside And um the original design of the house was that the kitchen was on the ground literally on the dirt on the dirt floor and kind of disconnected from the house and they used a lot of stone to build the the cooking areas It was kept separately for safety reasons but that kitchen over time they tried to renovate it and update it and um kind of make it more a part of the house but it was also very old Maybe they they started to turn that into a more modern kitchen kitchen like 75 years ago but it is also destroyed So I had to take it all out Harrison Bader’s at the plate The first pitch is a swinging miss on the change up Walter still in the game Strike one 0 and one is the count Let’s see what he can do here in the top of the seventh Swinging a miss Strike two That pitch is low in the zone or low below the zone actually 0 and two just like that to baiter Let’s get that strike out Hey Tommy likey Tommy wants swingy Tommy likey Tommy wants swingy 91 mile per hour fast ball up and out swing and miss How about that next pitch is also a strike to Brooks Lee on the inside edge 81 mile per hour change up Here’s the next pitch in there Fouled down the third baseline Strike two That was a nasty pitch France go back to Paris Go back to Paris That’s funny Here comes the O2 pitch Let’s hit up the middle And that’s going to be a base hit A little floater right up the middle Lee finally Well it wasn’t Lee I’m sorry Lee Lee’s the one that doesn’t have any problems He’s three for three against Walter He has got Walter’s number today It’s been Bader that hasn’t been able to figure out Walter today but Lee has Walter’s number Three for three He also has a long hitting streak Longest one in the majors Here’s the first pitch to Christian Vasquez Low and inside ball one Vasquez is 0 for two Fly on a line out Brandon is bending but not breaking so far That’s right Little throw over to first base Lee gets back Kind of a courtesy throw more than anything Not much doing there Nothing serious Charles welcome in Happy Father’s Day to you too Stro’s alive in the seventh Hi That means I want I want that Here’s the pitch right in there 89 the cutter in the bottom of the zone One ball one strike to Vasquez Is Vasquez a Christian though Sergio says “I understand we won’t win every game but the sweep is very doable.” Yeah that’s when the Astros usually don’t get it right When it’s when it’s doable Very very doable and should be done right should be when it should be a sweep they don’t get it But what I was expecting to see was a sweep of this series and then a four-game sweep of the A’s One ball and two strikes to Christian Vasquez The one-two pitch on the way from Walter with a base runner Check swing Did he go they say yes he did All right Tommy Tommy wants swinging I love me some Chris Farley There we go Vasquez just couldn’t hold up on that one Good call UMP It looks like that’s going to be it for Brandon Walter though They’re not going to let him face Ryan Jeffers 97 pitches for Walter Standing ovation from the Astros crowd Give him some love He did an awesome job We’re going to have a little break while the next pitcher gets warmed up I’m wondering if they’re going to have Brian King on the mound That’s my guess Maybe Brian King will be up to get the last out because Walter is a lefty and I’m a little unsure who else they would be bringing in right now to face Jeff but my guess is Brian King That’s my guess guys I don’t know for sure I didn’t see but I’m going to change it to king just to see if I’m right I’m going to see Jordan says “I think the house is very cool You can change around the walls and have several different house designs.” That’s right I mean it’s um you don’t have nearly the amount of privacy in this house that you would have in a regular house but like you said you can put you can combine two rooms combine four rooms and in different directions You can change the layouts you can do all sorts of things My plan is to rebuild these sliding doors These types of doors that you see behind me right here the ones that you can’t see through these are not called shoouji For those of you who don’t know this a shoe door is a door that has the paper on it right just the paper But these doors are are thicker and they’re meant to provide more insulation and you can’t see through them They don’t let in any light These are called Fussuma Fussima sliding doors First pitch hit into right field Might be trouble And it’s down Shawn Dubin is actually in not Brian King The very first pitch to Ryan Jeffers by Dubin The very first one is hit into right field for a hit Now we have two runners on So Dubin is in the game Not Brian King Runners on first and second with two outs for Duben Carlos Koreah at the plate Little bit of trouble We got ourselves an oldtimey jam right now Here comes the first pitch to Kareah on that outside edge Little bit generous by the umpire there Slightly outside but strike one on the Swiffer 0 and one to Koreah Come on Duben Here’s 0 and one pitch Another Swiffer but this one way outside Korea doesn’t bite One and one is the count Lee’s having a good game but we need to get him out Yeah we need to get all these guys out We can’t afford to give up any more runs Not hitting like we are Here’s the pitch The one almost a foot outside Fast ball but clearly not anywhere near competitive Two balls and one strike Sergio says we get at least two runs in the seventh We’re going to timidly predict going to timidly predict that the Astros are going to win this lowscoring game four to three Four to three would be woo That’s That’s a lot of scoring towards the end of the game Fouled off by Korea Korea South Korea Carlos South Korea Is he North Korea no now he’s North Korea Carlos is now North Korea He’s the enemy He’s no longer an ally He’s not South Korea He’s North Korea Here comes the two two pitch Pops it up Could be out number three Diaz is there He’s got it in foul territory for out number three Good job Shawn Duben gives up a hit but gets Kareah to foul out Gets the job done He gets out of the yield fashioned jam That’s it in the top of the seventh It is a seventh inning stretch and now they’re actually showing They don’t usually show this This is the God Bless America that they’re showing in the seventh inning stretch I’m going to mute that so it doesn’t distract me Um let’s see here Yeah Sergio you’re right Not having Pettis is is affecting us Yeah I think maybe with Pettis we could be up two to one right now Maybe Maybe depending on if there were guys on base or not when he got up each time Um Britain says “What a terrible game so far.” Well it’s not a terrible game defensively It’s a terrible game offensively So you’re right You’re half right Mark says your house is like a studio home Well my my idea of a studio is like you know like one one big room where everything is kind of in the same room But my house is quite large Very very large If you want to go by square meters it’s over 200 square meters 220 maybe 220 square meters I forget what that is in feet 2400 No 2368 2368 square ft is the size of my house It’s one floor Just to give you an idea of how big the floor the floor plan is And it’s one big rectangle My house is one big rectangle It has on the end of the house It has uh one one two three rooms three huge square rooms on this side three huge square rooms on the front side and then it has a massive kitchen area and then a massive utility room and a really big bathroom It didn’t used to be a bathroom I converted it I’m turning it into a bathroom And then I have the entryway a huge what’s called a genkcon in Japanese The the genkcon serves as a as a connection point between the outside and the inside of the house So it’s kind of a mixture of the two Uh it has a floor where you step up into the house but it’s also on the ground I have gravel So when you you slide open it has three sliding doors in the back When you step in you’re on the gravel the rocks when you first step into the house And then you step up into the house and that’s where you should take off your shoes Um I don’t take off my shoes in in the main part of the house because I’ve thrown out all the old tatami mats It’s just wooden floors right now and I’m doing a renovation so there’s no point to wear slippers in there But in here I have carpet so I shouldn’t wear shoes in here All right Oh I forgot to get my hot water for my next cup of coffee but it can wait Jose Altuve is at the plate He’s facing Lewis Varand Or is that Louie louis Varand I don’t know how he pronounces his name We’ll see First ball’s outside Here’s the next pitch to Aluve on the outside edge Strike one 91 mile per hour slider Come on Altuve We need you buddy two ground outs today So he’s putting the bat on the ball Let’s see if he can tie this game up Here comes a 1-1 pitch Fouls it back Out of play Varand is the guy that did the national anthem standoff yesterday and wound up winning Here comes a one and two pitch to Altuve Oh my gosh he nailed him Oh my gosh Altuve is down He is hurt He got hit hard Okay Vland is uh Vland is clearly not happy about that The crowd is booing but man Altuveet looks really hurt Okay this upsets me The trainers are out there Espatada’s out there I’m glad to see Espata go straight out there and check on him Here’s the hit right on his go Right on his his right forearm Oh that looked like it hit him right Wow man And that yeah Varand was immediately very upset about that one But he seems okay now But man yeah they were asking how in the world can Altuve be smiling right now but that that was a dangerous pitch We have a base runner but man glad that he seems to be okay now The Batman is at the plate Keratini He hits it to the second base side and that’s a double play So just like that we get a a very expensive base runner and immediately Keratini eliminates it with a double play ball Are you kidding me altuve pays the price to get on base and Keratini grounds into a double play immediately I really hope that that doesn’t bother Altuve Man it looked painful Here comes the first pitch to Jake Meyers Called a strike one I’m not sure if he said that that was a swing or if he thought that that was a strike but that was clearly not in the zone Either way 0 and one with two outs nobody on Here’s the pitch Grounded foul Myers with a kind of a rare 0 and2 count this year Last year that was his default was 0 and2 Yeah Charles thanks for the update about Pettis He should be back real soon I knew that it wasn’t going to be long just because of the way he was responding to his initial injury Here’s the next pitch to Myers Barely missed striking out there Check swing maybe an inch outside the zone One ball and two strikes with two outs Here’s the next pitch from Varand Myers takes it outside 99 Two balls and two strikes Would you guys like to see a Jake Myers home run right now tie this game i would Here comes the pitch Fouled off 97 high on that fast ball Count is even Two balls two strikes two outs Sergio says Esoch was on pace to hit 35 homers That would have been nice Meyers grounds it to Kareah Kareah throws over to first Easy inning for Varin despite attacking Jose Altuve Astros do nothing guys So through seven innings almost nothing for the Astros One hit Just one hit by Jake Meyers And that was a barely hit Barely barely a hit off the glove of the diving glove of Cororey I’ll be right back I’m going to go grab some more hot water to make myself some more coffee Go Stros Please go Stros All right I am back It is almost 5 in the morning here Shawn Duman is back on the mound for the Astros The first pitch to Willie Castro is in there for strike one Couple of singles today for Castro That one’s going to be a double most likely He hits it all the way out to the wall in right field So he’s having a nice day today Single single double So the top of the eighth the Twins start off with a leadoff double A man in scoring position Duben giving up a couple of hits already He’s only faced three batters and he’s given up a single and a double That’s eight hits now I believe for the Twins That’s right eight hits We’re lucky they only have one run on the board Ty France comes to the plate 0 for three today Let’s hope for a double play here Here comes a pitch from Doobie Doobie Dooby Dubin Little high Ball one I am thinking about driving to the cafe with my laptop today to get some stuff done Some creative stuff since yesterday I did a lot of cleaning I kind of need to rest today Fouled back 93 right in the top of the strike zone on that fast ball One and one is the count France go back to Paris [Laughter] Or go back to Thailand Thai France Do you speak Thai fouled off again Strike two The sinker getting him ahead in the count Good job Duben Mark says “Great for photography Lots of natural light in your place.” Yeah if I get the shoe doors in here Right now I don’t have any shoe My my bedroom is completely covered in Fussa so there’s no natural light unless I open the doors Here’s the pitch right at the middle Caught by Dubin Oh they got him in the rundown Look at that And Dubin takes it himself and tags him Look at that Good play by Dubin Sean Duben he made a great catch That ball right up the middle Ty France hit it right up the middle and he caught it Went straight at the runner there Castro Castro didn’t know what to do He didn’t commit Which way do you go man go to third Go to Go to second But he couldn’t commit And then he tagged him out What terrible base running is that what was he thinking was going to happen what was he thinking was going to happen it’s a good thing Willie Castro is not a good base runner but it looks like that’s going to be it for Shawn Duban Bennett Susa seems to be coming in the game for the Stros So that’s all for Dubin Thank you for your service Duben But at least the second base runner is gone Second base runner is gone We have a runner on first Boom with one out Oh my gosh I had it muted from when I sneezed earlier My bad Thank you for pointing that out Sorry about that Ground out by Gior That’s it guys So we get the base runner over to third and then ground out So the Astros try to play small ball and it doesn’t work That’s why I I don’t agree with that I don’t agree with bunning the guy to second and then trying to get him over to third and then trying to hit because you you only have one opportunity to do that really and they blew it They tried to play small ball just to tie the game If you had a guy on second with no outs bun him over But you got Cam Smith on base Cam Smith on base Why are you trying to bun him to second just hit the ball Even if you just tap it and put it in play he can probably get to second My thoughts I apologize guy You just You guys were telling me no audio but I didn’t see it Whenever I I have to cough or sneeze or something like that I mute the mic and I forgot that I had muted the mic My bad But thank you for pointing that out Um I have a readout on my screen down here and the only time I really look at it is whenever I mute it or unmute it But apparently when I went to unmute I missed the button It’s a little bitty tiny button and I missed it Sorry about that Thank you guys Many of you mention it to me Thank you for letting me know We’re going to go to the top of the ninth Astros having an absolutely miserable offensive performance right now Bennett Susa stays in the game Unsurprisingly he only had one pitch in the eighth inning and that was a double play ball He’s facing Jonah Bride First pitch to Bride is on the way It’s in there for strike one I apologize again for the muted microphone I’m not sure exactly how that happened I just have to assume that I missed the button when I tried to unmute it Here’s the next pitch That one’s hit into center field right center Cam is over Puts it away for out number one Bride is retired Three pitches for Susa so far this game and two outs No I’m sorry three outs A double play and a fly out Bader is at the plate with his curly locks high and outside Duran is going in the bullpin for the Twins Here’s the pitch Swinging a miss One ball one strike with that fast ball Count is even Steven one and one We have All right let’s see here I don’t like giving away outs Jordan I agree That’s in there Nice fast ball 96 miles an hour He cranks it up even a couple m more than the last one but Bader takes it for strike two One and two is the count One out Whoops I still have a base runner That’s incorrect Here’s the pitch Slightly below the zone on that fast ball taken for ball two The count is even It was only muted three innings Three innings or three batters Three innings I know it wasn’t muted for three innings There we go A strikeout for Souza Tommy likey Tommy wants swingy Out number two Brooks Lee is at the plate He’s been having a big day There’s a swing and a miss 84 in the bottom of the zone The slider Brooks Lee has a has the longest hitting streak I believe going on in the majors right now but he’s three for three in this game That one is a little low Could have been a strike Called the ball One and one Could have been a strike It could have been Here comes a one-1 pitch Another nice slider Swinging a miss Low and inside Astros lineup for the bottom of the ninth is the top of the lineup Pñena Diaz and Altuve Every single one of them zero for three zero for two Altuve with a hit by pitch is the only one to get on base out of that trio Here’s a pitch Hey swinging a miss in the dirt Strike three Man Bennett Susa is all over it The Astros pitchers are doing absolutely nothing but giving the hitters a chance Pñena Diaz and Altuve are due up in a moment Can the top of the batting order give us a walk-off how nice would it be guys to see the top of the batting order walk this off these are our OG guys Jeremy Pñena Yiner Diaz not quite as much as Pñena and especially Altuve but how great would it be for them to come up and show these newer guys how to come back and win a game in the ninth inning how to walk it off I mean Cam Smith walked it off yesterday We have another chance for a walk-off today But can you imagine Jeremy Pena getting on maybe Yiner Diaz tying it up and then Altuve walking it off I can imagine it I can definitely imagine that We should have brought in Orbit to pinch it for the newbie He probably would have gotten hit by pitch That could have been good for us The offense worse than the never hit days It is today that’s for sure Mark says another walk-off win today I’m thinking it I’m thinking it Jason says “You getting any rain Brandon?” Uh right now I don’t believe so I don’t know what the forecast is out here today It’s nice and cool outside I mean I say nice and cool It It is right now It’s 5 in the morning 5:15 in the morning but it’s 23 degrees Celsius they say but I I don’t No it’s definitely not that warm here right now Definitely not that warm Uh Toyo Saka Yoshara temperature The maximum temperature today is supposed to be 30 And it says the low is 23 Celsius 23 C2F That is 73° So they say it’s 73° right now but I know that it’s not that warm I think it’s about 67 degrees maybe It’s nice and cool out there right now Joan Duran is in for the Twins Jeremy Pñena is at the plate Come on Pñena 0 for three with a fly out and two strikeouts today Come on Flash Let’s see your superhero powers The first pitch from Duran is on the way Low and outside 88 mile per hour knuckle curve One ball no strikes Come on Pñena Make me happy before I go have breakfast Let’s do this 1 and0 100 miles an hour It says knuckle curve but that’s wide Either way two balls and no strikes Here comes the toss Another one high outside Barely misses That barely caught the corner but the umpire didn’t like it He’s tossing 100 miles an hour but ball three Pñena come on Three and 0 They said Duran has not had a single clean inning in his last four outings They call a timeout Duran says that he might have an issue with his pitchcom They’re trying to reconnect here Is it a Bluetooth problem that’s interesting Three balls and no strikes Here’s the pitch Is that a walk yes it is Another one high outside 101 miles an hour The Flash gets a four pitch walk from Duron They were close man They were close on that outside edge Could have gone either way but it goes the Astros way this time Now they’re going to have a little meeting on the mound as Diaz comes to the plate We have no outs and the flash on first base Everything is going according to plan Yes Yes Excellent Do you guys remember the bad guy in one of those James Bond movies he says “Delicious delicious.” Yiner Diaz comes to the plate Pñena finally being productive today and getting the walk Here’s the first pitch to Diaz Come on let’s go Long delay by Duran Here’s the pitch in the dirt Five straight balls from Duran I want to I keep want to say Durant but they’re calling him Don so if I alternate you’ll have to forgive me One ball no strikes to Diaz Come on Yiner Give him a Shiner Tie up this game Here’s the pitch That one’s a first strike 98 in the bottom of the zone One and one 98 Yes it’s the same pitcher Mark Durant Same one I’m okay bunning the player over with a cruddy hitter Uh right now I don’t I don’t want any bunning right now I want them to be hitting the ball Here’s the pitch Fouled off I I don’t mind them bunning them over if he’s already at second But my problem is if they try to bump them over to second and then they try to sacrifice them over to third then you have two outs and they have almost no chance to move him in So that’s just my feeling I wouldn’t play like that One ball two strikes to Yiner Come on Come on Yiner Here’s a one-two pitch from Don Ground ball to the third base side Again foul Nabbed by Paris Chica Good job Paris Chica At least you did something good instead of holding up the runners Whoa whoa whoa Stop Where you going where you going oh Oh you scored Okay that’s my impression of Paris Chica Stop Stop Stop Stop Stop No Whoa whoa whoa Why oh Oh Okay All right Good job Here comes a one-two pitch to Yiner Fouled off into the stands on the first base side Pñena was going on that pitch He’s going to have to trot back They’re showing some highlights of Diaz’s two-run shot his walk-off homer He does have one walk-off One ball and two strikes The 10th pitch of the inning coming for Don on the way Oo check swing high and outside Ball two The count’s even the flash on first base Here comes the two- two pitch He goes over to first Pñena is back Crowd booze I’ll never be able to get over the crowd booing when the pitcher goes to first base There’s literally no point in booing about that Here comes the next pitch The 2- two swing and a miss Pñena does not steal on that one So Yiner does not make contact 97 mph pitch The bottom kind of fell out That was a good pitch Went right down the middle but it dropped Diaz just could not get the bat on it Started off nice Just a good pitch One away That brings up my hero Jose Altuve My all-time baseball and sports hero at the plate right now He takes a timeout Now he’s back in This is the guy I want to see Walk it off This is the guy Pena is stealing Pitch is high Pena gets in there How about that that ball was almost over the catcher’s head but he made the throw And then the throw to second base was almost into center field Terrible throw Had to be saved by that shorts stop Pñena could have been over to third if not for that catch right there But we have a runner on second The flash is on second Come on Aluve you can do it Here’s the pitch He shows bunt Two balls and no strikes I actually actually don’t want Altuve to bunt here I hope he was just messing around with him that time Two balls and no strikes Varlin comes off the mound fakes a throw to second Crowd booze again Guys getting down to the wire here Here’s a 2-1 pitch or two pitch rather He called that a strike Are you kidding me that ball was 3 in out of the zone Are you kidding me and called a strike That sweeper was way out there That should have been ball three It’s 2-1 now against Altuve Here comes the next pitch Way outside That was definitely out That was about a foot off the plate Good grief umpire That should have been ball four but Altuve has another opportunity here He calls timeout The crowd is on their feet right now Three balls in one strike to Tuveet Yeah I’m on the edge here too Here comes the 3-1 pitch to Altuve Ah I should have let that go way outside Got him to chase the Swiffer Altuve didn’t notice that the catcher set up way outside If he had seen that he probably would have just taken it for ball four The count is full guys Come on Don’t let this crowd down Don’t let me down He hits it down the third baseline Foul Stays alive Little bit of a battle going on at the plate right now between Jos Altuve and Don Three balls and two strikes Pñena on second with one out Here’s the pitch Little tapper and it’s going to be trouble Craig goes over to first base He’s safe Altuve safe at first base And Pena moves over to third Altuve comes through with an infield hit Who needs to bunt when you can do that altuve the king of infield hits in his career Look at this Just taps that sweeper just just enough to get the bat on it sticks the tongue out Bloom Koreah has a tough play to make But before that ball got there he was a full step ahead Look at that Boom No chance for Koreah to make that play He was playing too deep And now there’s a meeting on the mound Everybody’s in right now Yeah once again Paris Chica telling him to stop but Pñena could have made a round He could have rounded third He could have rounded third there but Paris Chica telling him to stop Pitching coach the infield is going back into their respective positions Victor Keratini is at the plate guys Now is Altuve going to steal we need to eliminate the possibility for a double play here I I say let Altuve steal Take second and Pñena can possibly try to come home if they’re going to throw to second If not we can have runners on second and third Here’s the pitch to Keratini It’s hit into left field It might be deep enough to score Pñena I think it is He tags He’s coming home Here we go Oh the throw’s there but he’s he’s in there plenty of time This game is tied This game is tied One to one One to one in the bottom of the ninth with two outs And check that out Altuve tagged up and he read that play He tagged up from first base and went to second Excellent read by Altuve That throw went straight home but there was no way for them to get Pena That left fielder thought he had something going on against Pñena but he was wrong Terrible decision by the left fielder but great read by Altuve We now have a runner in scoring position Jake Meyers at the plate Here comes the pitch Nope he comes off the plate Don doesn’t throw The crowd booze Jake Myers could walk it off right here One to one This game is tied The Astros have reset this thing now Jake Myers with the opportunity Here’s the first pitch Swinging a miss on the outside The knuckle curve on that outside lower edge The Astros commentator has said something I absolutely agree with The strongest arm would not have thrown out Pena there That’s true Why did he throw it well Tuve got to second Big bonehead mistake Myers goes to center field It might be playable He’s backing up backing up and he puts it away He He started to come in at first but then had to back up That’s going to be it for the ninth inning but heck yes Keratini with a good nice swing No no ground out no double play Pena ready to go Boom baby He slid in I don’t know why he was easily there Astros tied up in the ninth We’re going into the tenth Got some extra innings Woo Okay All right Now I can take a look at the live chat and see what’s going on Holy freaking cow What a game huh what a game One to one All right let me end this uh end this poll Let’s see here How How many extras how many extras uh one two three four Plus we haven’t seen many extra innings guys this year right what do you think how many extra innings we’re going to have check it out Astros big inning Well they tied it up I wouldn’t say it was I mean it was a big inning because they tied it up right but the big inning for the Astros wound up being the ninth inning Everybody thought that it the majority thought it would be the sixth and then the eighth Man our guys came through Our top of the batting order did come through They did enough to keep us in this game Boo Carlos Korea Carlos North Korea I wish Melton could learn that You and me both Jordan You and me both Yeah Jason Those those Swiffers man Those sweeper Swiffer It is a nasty pitch if you’re not used to it It looks like it’s coming in and it just goes outside on the on the upside If you recognize it and it’s coming at you you can get a really nice hit Hater is on the mound now for the Astros First pitch for him is on the way Brooks Lee is on second base One ball no strikes against Christian Vasquez Extra innings rules We have somebody on second base Here’s the next pitch to Vasquez inside They say he went around on the check swing One and one is the count So extra innings rules guys Base runner on second to start the inning Josh her is dealing right now to Christian Vasquez One and one is the count Here comes the toss Fouled back Strike two One and two 36 people following the live stream right now Thank you for being here 37 Oh now it’s 41 people Great Welcome into Ghostros I appreciate you being here The count is one and two to Christian Vasquez Here comes the next pitch from Hater Hit high in the air Should be playable on the infield Diaz is underneath it Puts it away Out number one If you have not liked the live stream please do so It looks like the viewer count is going up now that we’re into the 10th inning Please like the live stream That would be very nice I’d appreciate it If you haven’t subscribed to the channel why don’t you do that right now i don’t talk about subscribing very much but a ton of my viewers are not subscribed Here’s the first pitch to the next batter He hits that high in the air That’s Ryan Jeffers Looks like it’s going to float right over the dugout The Astros dugout Strike one One away here in the top of the tenth Astros Twins 1-1 Haterade on the mound It looks like the Twins have the bullpin going They’re not going to bring out Don He hasn’t had a single clean inning Five innings pitched for Don and he hasn’t been able to get through a single one of them Here’s the next pitch Little inside One ball one strike 95 mile per hour Sinker missing the mark there Give to Twins haterade That’s right Give him some haterade Make them drink it Here’s the pitch Swinging a miss Wow The slider low and inside That was a scary pitch It looked terrible But it looks like it might have started off inside or rather right in the zone and just kept going inside One ball two strikes Hater rubs up another ball We have to win it an extra innings Sergio Yes we do As strange as this is this game is going I say that we win it in the 13th inning Hey look at that Swing and a miss You know what that means tommy likey Tommy want swingy Man he didn’t come anywhere near that on that check swing on that half swing Look at that made him look like an amateur Out number two Carlos North Korea comes to the plate swinging a mess on that first pitch 83 in the bottom of the zone The slider sliding right past Sliding right past the border of North Korea I must be the first guy to say North Korea I’ve never heard anybody say that just a little a little low and inside ball one one If you really think about it it makes a lot of sense right when he was with the Stros he was South Korea but now he’s the enemy He’s North Korea He’s way up in Soda Minnesota That one was way low The change up 95 m No that was a sinker 95 mile per hour sinker Two balls and one strike with two outs The complimentary runner on second being extra innings Here’s the pitch Oh half swing Check swing Got him Strike two Fold him with a slider Two balls and two strikes North Korea with the two two count North Korea is the enemy Come on Make him drink that haterade Uh he steps out of the box to take a little timeout That’s going to reset the pitch clock Hater takes a little stroll around the mound Now he’s back on getting himself dug in He’s back on the rubber He’s set Here’s the pitch Hits it high in the air This could be out number three Pena’s underneath it Boom Out number three Top of the ninth Out Cam Smith is going to lead it off in the ninth inning Another opportunity to walk it off Can we have two nights in a row of Cam Smith walking it off we’re going to find out He line drove one pitch off the wall off the top of the wall the scoreboard earlier in the game literally two feet away from being a home run It was a line drive shot right off the top of the wall He could do it again here except put it in the Crawford boxes and win this game Can you guys imagine how crazy that would be for Cam Smith to hit a home run and walk it off two nights in a row against the Twins and how amazing would that be for the Twins to get walked off by a 22year-old guy two nights in a row how about All right So the Astros are going to start off with a base runner on second Also here in the bottom of the tenth leadoff batter Cam Smith Cam Smith doesn’t even need a homer to walk off this game He just needs a base hit We’ve got Cam Smith Cooper Hmel and Mauricio Dubond do up but we might see some pinch hitting We’ll see We’ll see We’re definitely definitely not going to see any pinch hitting for Cam Smith but we might see some for these for these other guys We’ll see Please like the live stream I’m four away just four away from 40 likes 55 people The view count keeps going up and up and up guys We’re in a commercial break right now Right now they’re showing commercial breaks so there’s nothing to show you but the top of the 10th is over We’re in the bottom of the tenth tied one to one The Astros with the opportunity to walk this game off They’re showing the highlights from the Astros ninth inning where they tied it up Keratini’s hit out to left field enabling Pena to easily tag up and score One to one That’s how we tied it up in the ninth inning Now it’s the bottom of the tenth The Astros have the opportunity to walk it off Cole Sans is on the mound for the Twins Here’s the first pitch to Cam Smith He takes it inside and low for ball one Cole Sans 0 and one the count to Cam Smith Meyers is the one they put on second base Here’s the pitch below the zone Ball one Good take by Smith He had a walk-off yesterday with a base hit right up the middle Meyers is fast A single today could do it Here’s the pitch He grounds it down the third base side That’ll be strike two One ball and two strikes Yeah yesterday’s hit right up the middle just perfectly placed There was nobody covering that area Astros won three to two Here comes a one-two pitch Grounds it to third They’re going to hold up Meyers And he gets thrown out at first base So unfortunately does not advance Meyers One away Pñena stared towards Korea after he caught his popup I didn’t notice that but that’s funny What is Cam’s nickname cameron I call him Crank It Up Cam Hmel is at the plate guys Left-handed pitcher I mean right-handed pitcher left-handed batter Here we go Hi Good take Ball one The Hummer 91 mile cutter J uh Jake Meyers on second base with one out Here comes the 10 pitch to Hmel He takes that one right in the middle of the plate 81 miles per hour on the curveball Literally in the dead center of the zone Man you got to crank that up You could have put that into right center field easily One ball and one strike Here comes the toss from Sans Ah now you swing at that one 90 miles an hour way inside And he changes the ball out He doesn’t like the ball Just like the sands of time through the mitt of the catcher so are the days of Hmel’s life Whatever that is One ball two strikes Here’s the pitch to Hmel Come on Hmel in the dirt Two balls two strikes runner on second 48 40 48 or so people following the live stream Only 38 likes Come on hook me up with a couple more to get to 40 Here comes the two pitch to Hmel from Sans He taps it at the plate stays alive Two and two The 89 mph splitter Boo Red Sox Sergio says they used to call Cam sweet pickle in little league Sweet pickle Cooper hmel It’s time to redeem yourself Yes man Everything before can be forgiven right now Right With a big hit Two balls and two strikes Here’s the toss Little check Swing in the dirt They say he went Are you kidding me humbled At least he ran At least he ran to first base Did he go did he really go yeah he went I didn’t think he went but he went in the dirt But look he took off towards first At least he tried But he strikes out Wamp wamp At least we have a veteran at the plate now Dubon not a star but very capable with two outs Come on Dubon We need you Doobie He tries on the first pitch again He’s a very big first pitch swinger 90 miles an hour right in there Swinging a miss Strike one Two away in the bottom of the tenth This game is tied one to one Astros with only three hits this entire game Dubbie at the plate with an 01 count facing Cole Sands Runner on second Here’s the pitch This is hit hard to left field All the way out to the wall Might be trouble All the way to the wall It’s off the wall It’s off the wall The Astros win it Doobie walks it off Jake Meyer scores from second base Duban with a double off the wall Another walk-off for the Astros The veteran does it Mauricio Duban comes through for the Stros Second night in a row two to one The Astros win in the 10th inning Mauricio Dubon is the one getting drenched tonight Two walk-offs against the Twins in the second and third game of this series Off the wall just barely out of the glove Just barely over the glove of the center fielder Man Castro was out there and they said that might have even hit his glove and he wasn’t quite sure where he was located Could have been an out Maybe could have been an out Yordon out there to congratulate Dubon on that big hit That’s something I did not expect at all Dubon to drive the ball all the way out to the wall in center field How about that guys doobie coming through for the Stros I’m glad to see that Yeah big big love from Aspatada there Heck yes man How about that i want to see that replay guys I’m hanging around because I want to show you the replay I’m sure they’re going to show it When they show it I want to share it with you guys But right now they’re having a little chitchat with Dubon Do we do Isaiah 68 he said it Bible verse he saw yesterday Whosoever says “Lord Lord,” I’ll hear their reply And he said he said “Lord if we tie this game we’re going to win it.” And he said he was listening Pretty interesting Two walk-offs in a row They’re asking about the walk-offs Put up a good fight He gave credit to the uh opposing pitcher Richardson for pitching a good game That’s a nice a nice shout out to the opposing team Guys can you give me two more likes to get to 40 a lot of people came in near the end of the stream but haven’t gotten to 40 Man Dubon has tears in his eyes right now They asked him about his dad and what this game meant to him to get this walk-off today He almost started crying What a good guy I’m so glad that he was able to get this You know guys like Dubon and moments like this you see that they get emotional about it but get tears in their eyes talking about what it means to them on special days like today Father’s Day You know you know that they have a big heart I like Duvant He He’s He’s awesome I wish we had more stars like Debbon Here is the replay by the way Finally Nice hit Here’s that outfield shot Yeah Yeah Castro it actually went off his glove Meyers scores There it is right there guys There it is right there Let’s show you that last shot Oh I got 44 likes Awesome Thank you so much We weren’t very far off from 50 likes at the end but it was really hard to get to 40 for some reason The Astros win this game and another walk-off 3 to2 I’m going to take a quick look at the live chat before I do the game review and the preview for the next game against the A’s Let’s take a look at that Big big conversation going on in the live chats right now Lots and lots of comments Let’s see if I can get caught up here Awesome Dubalicious Let’s see here How do you not pinch it for Hmel jordan I was thinking the same thing Sergio says “Let’s go hit that like button.” Thank you so much Sergio for that We finally pushed it over 40 Got started to climb up close to 50 He started to get there It’s at 44 right now Dubilicious Holy moly That’s crazy Old dog Bit bit dog Did you change it from bit dog to old dog that’s funny And Casey Jones says “Doobie doobydoo doo.” That’s right Clay says “Doobie everybody doobie doobydooie.” Old dog says “Poor twins in.” Sorry not sorry Absolutely Shoot says “Get the brooms out.” Heck yes Finally an Astros sweep I wouldn’t say that the Twins are an amazing team but to sweep them is a big deal Even the best team in the MLB would have trouble sweeping the Twins And that was a fight The Astros managed to do it And they go into the next series with an opportunity for a fourame sweep of the A’s Can you imagine two sweeps in a row that would be freaking awesome That’s what I’m hoping That’s what I’ve been hoping for this whole time is two sweeps three games in a row and then four games in a row Double dubious Dubon Astros win it says Sergio Absolutely Glenn says “Wow I tuned in back I tuned back in just as y’all started celebrating.” Absolutely Good timing Glenn And Caesar says “I can’t believe it.” Yeah very difficult And Dub Dubon drove it all the way to the wall It bounced off the glove of the center fielder You know he’s going to have a difficult time sleeping tonight But the Astros win anyway Jordan says “I had a feeling from the very beginning this game would go exactly like this but didn’t expect it to be Dubon.” I I didn’t either especially with that that big of a hit that far out I was expecting maybe like a single and Meyers scores on a single but a big hit like that from Dubon is is not common Glenn says “Just as I was returning from my train.” Good way to be welcomed back huh welcomed back Casey Jones says “Good game Astros showed character coming back Yes they did They held it together Came back in the ninth and won in the 10th How about that like the old days right yes it is Very nice And with Korea out there to experience it on the opposite end is is so sweet right it’s icing on the cake The Stros look like they’re having fun says Casey Yeah they they they were for sure And to see how much it really got to Dubon is heartwarming Excuse me Yeah Dubon is another really good guy You’re right Sergio says “That puts us at 11 games over 500.” That’s right The Stankies lost to the Red Sox Good job Good job Socks Stinky Socks and the Stankys All the West is winning except the Angels Yeah I’ll take a look at that in just a moment Sweep any lingering memories of Carlos Korea out of here That’s right We just did No more North Korea Jordan says Mariners out five to nothing So still four games ahead Could have been a three-game lead Uh I think No we’re we’re more than three games ahead Jordan We’re more than three games ahead of the Mariners We’re like four and a half games ahead of the Mariners Pretty sure Let me go look at the standings now I’m going to bring that up on the screen for you guys Uh let’s see here Let’s take a look at the standings There’s no way we’re just three games ahead of the Mariners Yeah you see this right here We’re four and a half games ahead of the Mariners Technically right now we’re five games ahead of the Mariners but if they win today it will move back to four and a half because right now it says that we’re at 40 and 30 Our record is 40 and 30 but our record is not 40 and 30 it’s 41 and 30 So technically right now we’re five games ahead of the Mariners And if the Mariners win the game today it’ll go back to four and a half So yeah I knew that there’s no way we’re just three games ahead of the Mariners We are a commanding five games ahead of the Mariners until they win their game today And uh six games ahead of the Rangers right now with today’s win How about that seven and a half games ahead of the Angels 13 and a half games ahead of the A’s The Astros can sweep the Athletics which I believe they can And I and I think they will go back to Pong Pyongyang That’s right Go back North Korea Let’s see here Jordan says “Four games after the M’s win.” Uh no Jordan that’s incorrect Take take a look at the standings Take a look right here Okay I’ve got it on the screen With today’s win it puts us five games ahead Do you see that right there it says four and a half but that’s because it has our record at 40 and 30 but our record right now is 41 and 30 So this should actually be five five games ahead If the Mariners win then we’ll be back to four and a half games ahead So if like I said if the Mariners win today we will stay four and a half games ahead So just take a take another look at it if you have the chance Uh let’s see here The Stanies were also swept by the Red Sox Yeah that’s nice It’s nice We maybe we can get that home field advantage The Yankees or the Stanies keep sliding Maybe the Astros will get into the playoffs with a home field advantage But you know the Astros with the big hit by Dubon today The big hit by Dubon Let’s see here Uh what do I need to pull up i need to pull up the review of today’s game guys Let’s take a look at what happened in today’s game and then we’ll do a preview of tomorrow’s game Uh where is it at let me go backwards Here it is All right Very small scoring summary today for the Astros Most of the game they did absolutely nothing It wasn’t until the ninth that we got a run on the board and then the 10th we won it Four hits Only four hits for the Stros today compared to the Twins eight But we got the four hits that really mattered most And we got them when they mattered most Let’s take a look at the scoring summary right here in the top of the third Lee Homerred to left field That would be the only run the Twins would get this game One to nothing Ninth inning Bottom of the ninth Keratini sacrificed to left scoring Pñena One to one The Astros tied up Move it into extra innings In the bottom of the tenth Dubon singles the left scoring Meyers winning the game Dubon with a walk-off Two walk-offs for the Astros two nights in a row game two and game three And let’s take a look at the pitching performance by the Astros over here on this side of the screen Walter pitched 6.2 innings today Gave up one run six hits no walks nine strikeouts A very very solid performance by Brandon Walter today The only run was the solo homer Excellent performance by Brandon Walter Dubin came in gave up a couple of hits 2 innings and then Susa came in pitched 1.2 extremely efficient solid innings only 12 pitches nine strikes Got a double play Great outing by Susa And then hater came in locked it down gave up nothing Had a strike out no hits That’s all that was needed Astros didn’t need to go beyond the 10th inning What a great game Hater pitched the 10th Great game by the Astros pitchers Completely locked down the Twins Kept them at one run And even with the low batting output of the Astros today that’s all they needed They managed to get enough for the one of the few times that the Astros hitters came through when their pitchers had a really great game and they didn’t disappoint them They managed to do just enough to get the victory Now let’s take a look at tomorrow We start a new series versus the A’s How many wins in a row is this for the Astros let’s take a look at the full schedule here How many wins is this in a row that’s five Look at this right here Five wins in a row for the Astros One two three four five The last two against Chicago White Socks and a sweep of the the the Twins And now we have a four game sweep coming up against the Athletics How about that we have a chance to get nine games in a row if we sweep the Angels Can you imagine sweeping three teams in a row when was the last time any team has done that in the majors if we swept the the Twins the A’s and the Angels how awesome would that be the Astros would be well on their way to not only claiming this division but even becoming the top team in the AL How amazing would that be tomorrow’s game McCullers versus Spence Every one of these games by the way starts for me at 11:00 That’s good But I have an update for you guys Tomorrow tomorrow’s Tuesday and I have to give you an update about tomorrow’s game Here’s the deal I’m getting a a refrigerator tomorrow It’s a it’s a used refrigerator but it is very nice It’s quite big I need more space to store frozen foods so that I can go to Costco and stock up some frozen vegetables Um because of my my health and my diet I really need to get some good vegetables but I can’t afford to keep going to the supermarket every single day and buying and buying and buying and buying I need I really need to buy enough food for one month but I don’t have enough space to store it Most refrigerators in Japan are quite small It’s just the way most houses here are because most of the houses are small But my house is quite large And so the small refrigerator that I have the the freezer is literally this wide uh this deep and uh this this uh I guess the the depth is is like this The the height is like this It’s a very small freezer space I need a lot more than that So I’m buying a used fridge a big large standup fridge It’s uh the fridge is about 10 years old but it’s in excellent shape And if you buy it typically if you buy it online it it even it even used it costs like $500 But this one has a couple of dents in the front door so it’s cosmetically not as beautiful So the price is much much cheaper and I’m going to pick it up tomorrow Unfortunately the time they want me to pick it up is at the game start time So tomorrow’s game versus the Angels game one I am going to be picking up that fridge However I’m going to start the live stream so that the live score can be on the screen So the live stream will be here and it will be on screen and as soon as I get the refrigerator I will come straight back and finish the live stream But I can’t guarantee what time I’ll be back I expect that to go get the fridge and get back to the live stream should take maybe about an hour It’s just a guess An hour or less So that means that I’ll be about an hour behind on the live stream tomorrow Just letting you guys know Sergio if you are here then you can let everyone know about that I appreciate that So anyway but tomorrow McCullers is on the mound Yep that’s right Lance McCullers is on the mound facing Mitch Spence That’s our pitching matchup for tomorrow Astros for some reason are expected to lose No no I’m sorry I’ve got it backwards 55% chance of winning I’m sorry I was looking at that wrong Over here on the left side the matchup predictor says 50 55.3% the chance of the Astros winning One more quick look at the live chat and then we will be out of here Let’s see here Old dog says “Hater another win Two in a row.” That’s right Jordan says they updated Yeah nice Yeah that’s what I said earlier Jordan Four and a half If the it it basically the same It will remain the same as it was yesterday If the Mariners win because the Astros win the Mariners win then it should still be four and a half That’s what I said earlier Yeah it just wasn’t updated on the screen That’s why I I pointed out that it didn’t have the Astros record updated Sergio says “The camaraderie on the Astros is great but we need Isach Pris back at third base.” Yeah we need that extra bat The Stros are back old dog Yes they are 45 likes Yes 45 total likes Thank you so much everyone Um I’m wrapping it up I’m about to go to town and get breakfast Actually it’s a little early for breakfast They don’t even open till 8 but I might take a leisurely stroll and uh get there a little early Yeah tomorrow’s game 9:05 I guess that’s central time For me it’s 11:00 But like I said I’m picking up a a fridge tomorrow So I will start the live stream a little early and get it on here so you guys can at least have the data on the screen And then as soon as I get the fridge I will come right back I will be at a net cafe tomorrow in Hiroshima City Ghost Tros I’ll wait for you Go Thank you Caesar It’d be nice to see you here And he says “I didn’t know there’s Costco in Japan.” Um yeah they’re not they’re not everywhere but they’re typically only in the major cities So I’m not in Hiroshima City I’m about an hour and a half from there I’m in the Hiroshima Prefecture So if you go northeast of Hiroshima City that’s where I live out in the countryside And to drive from here to Costco is about an hour and a half Uh maybe a little faster if I take the the freeway I’m sorry the tollway but the freeway is pretty fast It’s not much slower than the tollway and it’s free so I prefer to take that But anyway Sergio says “Thanks to everyone for joining the live chat today Enjoy the rest of your day I’ll see you once more.” Yes thank you Sergio Uh and thank you everyone else again I appreciate all the likes the comments the subs all that good stuff We’re almost at 420 subscribers now so thank you for that guys That’s it for the Stros and we swept the Twins See you tomorrow for the start of the series versus the Gay’s The only thing left to say as usual is go Stros and thanks
