I think this inning is the main point for all who oppose replay.

[Mill1634]

He is safe after that replay

[zchrz]

Mvp!

[Danchat]

Ugh. This feels like basketball in the final two minutes.

[Craig Arko]

Kurt Suzuki, review magnet.

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

A pretty entertaining afternoon of baseball after all!

[Reider]

Suzuki is safe at home too!

[Mill1634]

At work....are you saying that Suzuki almost didn't make it to third on a ball hit to the OF?

yes

[Gibby]

C'mon Maursie!

[Mike Sixel]

yes

How is that possible?

[Gibby]

C'mon Maursie!

 

or plouffsie!

[Mill1634]

Plouffe time. Every manager in the league walks mauer here

Bloop that was in danger of being caught, was actually pretty good base running to make the play close.

[DaveW]

yes

 

It really was a tough one, I don't know how Cespedes didn't catch that ball, he must have been playing very far back and still had a bad jump.

[Gibby]

How is that possible?

 

Shallow pop, Zuke had to hang half way in case it was caught.

[Mill1634]

a walk does it!

[Mike Sixel]

Thanks for the update. So hard to tell from gamecast. I can see that for sure.

[LaBombo]

Ball and strike calls suddenly competent in a tight game after being bad all day.

[DaveW]

Good at bat by Plouffe, tough result.

[Beezer07]

Rallying from down two to tie, and then leaving the bases loaded, is such a Twins thing to do. Love it! Yay for hope of a win where there was almost none just 10 minutes ago

[LaBombo]

You know you're bad against same-side pitching when you get pinch hit for by Nicky Punto.

 

Would love to know what the usually quiet and restrained Perkins said to get Donaldson fired up enough to clear the benches.

[notoriousgod71]

Perkins to be released immediately. Can't show up an opponent like that.

[kydoty]

Seriously, when was the last time this team was involved in a brawl?

[DaveW]

We need a gif of Perkins walking off the mound with donaldson coming after him with: "haters gonna hate"

[zchrz]

Now that is a welcome sight I haven't seen in twins territory for awhile.

[notoriousgod71]

Seriously, when was the last time this team was involved in a brawl?

 

I believe when Guzman charged Spoljaric. I think that was '99.

[LimestoneBaggy]

Anyone watching want to describe the issue with Perk?

[Gibby]

Seriously, when was the last time this team was involved in a brawl?

 

I don't remember the last time. All I can recall is the time Torii chucked the bean ball back at the pitcher.

[zchrz]

Anyone watching want to describe the issue with Perk?

 

Donaldson hit a foul 450 feet off a hung slider, then Perk made him look silly on a good slider and they took turns talking ****.

[zchrz]

Jason Kubel, professional hitter.
