I think the called strike one would be more appropriate for this game, but whatever, great gif anyway

 

I could only find 2 and 3 lol

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Wow.thought we had this one in the bag.

yep

[USAFChief]

In play, run(s) please.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I am watching on DVR.  In the 5th inning.  Suzuki is a crappy receiver, he lost Duffey at least 2 strikes.

you could be right about that.

 

Somebody once said in a Parker pitch framing thread said Suzuki had short arms. It sounded silly but there may be something to that.

[Gibby]

 

yep

 

  This game is nowhere near over...We have a couple of wild pitches to take advantage of yet.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Rosario lead off single.

 

It was 4-0 when I turned it on, now 4-5, so I'm going to do Twins Territory and tune out for the night.

 

Thanks all, I will lurk to make sure I don't miss anything. Great set up Riverbrian!!!

[Gibby]

Hope that was a learning situ for Bux.

[SwainZag]

Same exact location Duffey got screwed on. Screw you ump.

[Turd Furgeson]

This umpire is absolutely terrible. 

[USAFChief]

swing the GD bat, Buxton.

 

 

[FattCrapps]

Hell of an AB by Buck.  3 pitches, 3 strikes, no swings.

[nytwinsfan]

Every ****ing borderline strike call is going against the Twins. Jesus H. this ump sucks.

[Gibby]

 

 

Hell of an AB by Buck.  3 pitches, 3 strikes, no swings.

 

Reminds me of our right fielder in the 6th grade.

[USAFChief]

 

This umpire is absolutely terrible. 

Buxton took two pitches right in the middle of the zone, and then a perfect pitch on the corner.

 

That's not on the umpire.

[Turd Furgeson]

 

Hell of an AB by Buck.  3 pitches, 3 strikes, no swings.

 

The first pitch wasn't a strike. The second pitch was a very good slider that hit the corner of the zone at the very end. The third pitch was iffy, he probably should have fouled it off though.

Coached by Brendan Harris along the way?

What do you do?????Bottom of 8th inning, runners on second and third, 1 out, do you let Buxton bat again this game????

[amjgt]

Don't worry... Sano's got this

[USAFChief]

I still think the biggest call of this game was letting Duffey pitch to Eaton.

Cant foul it off if you dont swing.

I agree!!!!

[SwainZag]

Jays beat the Indians on a Goins walk off HR.  5-3 final.

I think it was the "should have been strike 3" call that Duffey didn't get when it was 1st and 2nd with two out in the 5th.

[Gibby]

Wow! Dick being cynical.

[SwainZag]

Not if Sale is in the game.

[ashbury]

Hope that was a learning situ for Bux.

He's batting .202. They're ALL learning situs for him this season.

[amjgt]

May is probably feeling sluggish after crushing State Fair food all day.

[drock2190]

This is going to be a tough lose

[LaBombo]

Yes, Dick, the umpire's strike zone was "erratic", in much the same way that the manners of Charles Manson were erratic.

[Ultima Ratio]

Some one just get on in front of the man, good golly!
