Why is it Dark at Target Field and still light out in Grand Forks?

[Beezer07]

Ah Yeah... Of Course. There is always a goat to be scaped.

 

Bums me out that he gets the "blame" for that run in probably his best inning of the night. Bums me right out, man.

Ooh, ooh, ooh...I know this one...You're north of the Artic Circle, amiright?

[Riverbrian]

It appeared to me that was Escobar's ball all the way. He called it, he was under it, and on the replay I didn't see Parmelee calling him off. The replay was short, so it's possible Parmelee called him off before the replay started.

 

But from what was visible, IMO that's on Escobar, and it's not like he had to make a real tough play to get there. He was camped under it.

 

It was the ol' miscommunication play that they work on in spring training.

 

I've seen it many times. The rule is actually... The OF gets it... if he can get it and the infielder steps aside.

 

Most likely...Parm didn't call him off or he whispered it until it was too late. I'd score it E7.

Dude... Do ya need a hug... I'm sure LaBombo or Snepp or someone has a GIF for that.

[Hawkeye12]

Making Scott Baker look like Walter Johnson, or at least Yu Darvish.

Perhaps he was throwing his voice toward right field

Reverse rotation of the globe. Pretty sure this was covered at length in multiple threads about the consequences of a certain Twins OF not switch-hitting.

I just figured it out... Darkness is coming. It'll. be here soon.

 

I gotta run down the street yelling that out.

 

To warn the neighbors.

 

Darkness is coming!!! darkness is Coming!!! Get inside!!! Darkness is Coming.

 

Would wearing pants be recommend?

Doomsday device?

[cmathewson]

I didn't see the catch... I hope to see it in the highlights.

 

I love good defense and I'm sure it would have brightened my day.

 

I didn't see it so I got ask... Did Dick call it Flanominull?

 

It was an amazing catch, in part because it was straight over his head and he had to sprint back to the wall and time his leap, reaching behind him and over the wall. He has Hunter-like vertical leap.

 

And yes, Dick called it "Flenominal" and "one of the best catches you will ever see a center fielder make."

I love it when Dick says Flanominull. I use it all the time when something makes me happy.

Parmelee come down with the bi-lateral groin weakness?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Ah Yeah... Of Course. There is always a goat to be scaped.

 

(Still trying to imagine the works of a goatscaper...)

 

"Do your goats seem old-fashioned, out of date?"

 

Anyway the run scored, and now we gotta answer it somehow...

[Riverbrian]

If the Rangers are not going to walk us... We may need a few more hits.

[LaBombo]

Doomsday device?

Only if the sharks have lasers...

I was imagining a goat with stone walkways... A fountain of someone peeing. Maybe some shrubs...

 

Or maybe just a simple goat topiary will suffice.

[Guest USAFChief]

The rule is actually... The OF gets it... if he can get it and the infielder steps aside.

 

I would add "If the OF calls off the infielder who already called it," but yeah, the infielder should then yield to the OFer. But since I have no confirmation Parmelee called it...I'm gonna blame the guy who did call it until I learn otherwise.

[Guest USAFChief]

Yeah...kind of an odd pinch hit, unless there's something wrong with Parmelee.

"Where's the happy little tire swing?"

 

hot dam! It's the (soggy) bottom (of the line up) - er boys!

It's ok... We had a side discussion and determined that it was Hughes's fault.

Men of constant sorrow?

Matt Kemp is in the dog house... I wonder what he did?

Probably pooped in Don's shoes.

[LaBombo]

Great AB by Dozier. A leadoff hitter who draws a wild pitch and a walk because he can crush the ball.

 

Mauer. No GIF. No image. No pop culture reference. Just... fingers crossed for turnaround.

[GCTF]

Matt Kemp is in the dog house... I wonder what he did?

 

Didn't get rid of those sideburns?

[longstrangetrip]

Mauer is now 1 for 1 swinging at the first pitch, and 0 for 3 letting it go by. I know he's a future Hall of Famer, but honestly, does he not see this?

[cmathewson]

Santana with a nonplay. We can only wonder if Hicks would have caught it. Provus said it was hard hit, but he got turned around.

Let's hope the Twins have seen the error of their ways...
