Bring on the electronic detector. I'm so sick of umpires deciding games with bad calls. it happens both ways, too. We see so many instances where a great pitch is called a ball because the ump's poor eyeballs weren't calibrated to expect a pitch in an unexpected place. Screw that crap. We've had the tech for years now, we know it works. Let's use it.

[Hrbowski]

Manfred has ordered the umps to keep us out.

[jokin]

 

Point 1>>>> Well if we go down, let's go down fighting.

Point 2>>>> BTW, there are many other names who belong on that list more than mine. If you can edit the poll go ahead and replace me.

 

If that ain't classic Minne-Soda Passive-Aggressive, I challenge someone to do one better!?

 

[FattCrapps]

Hey Ump, what do we think of your strikezone?

[ShouldaCouldaWoulda]

"one trend that never reached MN, the velocity trend." LOL!

[Hrbowski]

If we can get out of this we will have some good momentum.

[stringer bell]

I'll say it now. The Twins can't get Cain out when it matters.

[jimbo92107]

And now the same ump screws Boyer on a slider inside. What are they paying you, ump?

[jimbo92107]

I take back the previous accusation. This ump simply has no idea where the strike zone ends and the batters boxes begin. 

[Jerr]

DAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[notoriousgod71]

That was simply a hilarious play by Boyer. You have a chance to somehow escape this inning and you decide to hit Cain in the back? Wow.

[kydoty]

They always make that call...except when we need it the most.

[DaveW]

Great job Boyer, that will be the last play in your Minnesota Twins career, don't come back!

 

Bum.

[Aggies7]

The slow death March to elimination continues.

[jimbo92107]

Well, shoot. Would have taken a great play by Boyer; he didn't toss the ball far enough away from first. Gotta throw that one right at Mauer's face. 

[FattCrapps]

I thought pitchers were the best athletes on the field?

[Jham]

Shows how important strike outs are. Even nubbers can mean his and runs.

[notoriousgod71]

There was nothing wrong with what Cain did. Boyer is just an idiot.

[kydoty]

Now the ****ing circus music can start.

[notoriousgod71]

Oh dear God, what a **** show.

[Aggies7]

Complete meltdown.

 

Cya in April fellas.

[notoriousgod71]

I wish Dick was announcing this game.

[D. Hocking]

I just get home - turn on the TV and the first thing I see is Boyer playing Dodge Ball.  Now I am kind of regretting ordering that Boyer jersey.  (Although - I actually do feel kind of bad for him).

 

Overall I am happy with the season -- and always knew the wild card was a long shot (at least the last week or so) but was hoping for a better closing weekend.

 

I might turn the TV off now.

 

[TwinsCD]

I said it when the inning started -- appropriate that the season ends with the worst reliever on the roster as the culprit.

 

And that was the right call on the Cain play.  Cain has to be in fair territory to touch the bag somehow.  If that's 20 feet closer to home plate, then yes, that's interference.

 

And that's all she wrote.  Great season guys.  Hope it's a foundation for a lot of fun the next couple of years.

[stringer bell]

Worst two throws I've seen Rosario make.

[notoriousgod71]

May is quite the useful asset in the bullpen DOWN FOUR RUNS.

 

Too bad he hasn't been pitching in Pelfrey's place all season long.

[Aggies7]

Welp

[FattCrapps]

Never would have imagined the bullpen letting us down like this.  Who could have predicted this?!?!?!?!

[notoriousgod71]

As if there's any way we could possibly differentiate Boyer from any of the other members of this bullpen.

[jimbo92107]

WTF, Rosario? Throwing it in the general direction of the dugout?? Pick a target!

 

Well, at least we aren't being tortured by hope. Once again we see why the Twins should use all their expensive veteran pitchers other than Santana to stock the bull pen for next season.
