Game Thread: Twins @ Rays, 8/26, 6:10pm

[Halsey Hall]

Welcome back, Boyer.

[Aggies7]

Wow great challenge. I didn't think there was a chance at first look. +1 for Molitor

[twinsnorth49]

Nice to at least " almost" get a runner stealing.

Er, nice to see them "actually" get a runner stealing.

[LaBombo]

 

Can't wait for the howls of protest from the TB TV crew when they reverse this call.

Or the fearsome avalanche of dozens of boos from the stands...

[Squirrel]

No-no is no more in Detroit.

Does that mean we can stop hearing about Kate Upton, too, I hope?

[Whammy]

Part of me likes getting those calls right but another part of me wonders if squeezing players on those types of plays as well as the "proximity" call at 2nd are going to change the way players slide or hang on 2nd base, and they are going to get injured more

[jimbo92107]

 

And his shoes. Have to have comfortable shoes.

I want a t-shirt that says, "My prostate feels great! Ask me why!"

[mikecgrimes]

As much as that call was correct and in the twinsfavor. I hate that replay turns that into an out. His leg popped off for maybe a 10th of a second. He beat the throw and didn't overslide the bag in my mind that shouldn't be an out.

[David HK]

 

Wow. Okay then.

That's about all you can say.  I'm just glad we won't see Boyer anymore this game, or Dunse.  Dodged a bullet there.

[ScrapTheNickname]

The crew in Secaucus must be drinking Margaritas tonight. Crap. If that call got overturned watch out in the playoffs when plays really count. (should be indisputable, in my view, otherwise don't bother).

[clank2000]

Er, nice to see them "actually" get a runner stealing.

Why so negative, son.

[Hrbowski]

 

Or the fearsome avalanche of dozens of boos from the stands...

You have to remember that about 11% of them are Twins fans...

[Squirrel]

Or the fearsome avalanche of dozens of boos from the stands...

Avalanche? Considering the attendance, I'd say trickle.

[David HK]

Dozens might be optimistic.

[TwinsCD]

Escobar:  Bartender, make it a DOUBLE!!

[Danchat]

The Rays deserve to lose this game now. They were given 3 outs against Boyer and they failed.

[Squirrel]

I'll take that one, too!

[Halsey Hall]

Esco again!

[Jerr]

I'll take credit for that, as I came back lol

[Whammy]

Tulo who?

[Hrbowski]

Kinda like the Mauer steal against the Cubs that completely changed the game.

[Ultima Ratio]

HOLY ESCOBEAR MADNESS!!!

[ScrapTheNickname]

Sano-scobar!

[DaveW]

Escobar > Tulo

[Hrbowski]

Escobar is making Brock happy.

[jimbo92107]

Yikes! Escobar!

[Brock Beauchamp]

In a completely great way, Escobar is making Ryan and Molitor look like idiots for doggedly sticking with Santana for so long.

[David HK]

Oh, Esco, thank you, thank you.  I had a feeling we're needing more runs today.

[Squirrel]

I want a t-shirt that says, "My prostate feels great! Ask me why!"

And I hope you wear it inside out, too.

[twinsnorth49]

Escobar..............wut the?
