Mama go Boom! I hate you Mr. Harper.

[twinscowboysbulls]

Complete BS. That was strike 3 on BH, blue called some terrible ones earlier in the game and that one was money.

 

We are in for a rough year it appears boys.

 

Looks like we should've kept the soul patrol out there for defensive help. Probably has already cost us 3 games. Bullpen needed an upgrade, instead Jepsen and Perkins regressed.

 

Hopefully lineup can get it going soon.

[Aggies7]

I blame the ump. Harper struck out. It's one thing to give the outside outside corner and still give the inside corner, it's another thing to do that for one team but not the other. BS.

Or maybe throw something other than a fastball???

[jimmer]

 

Extremely believable.

it was more of an exasperate unbelievable than actually unbelievable.

[glunn]

The Twins are firmly in the hunt for another #1 draft pick. Does Harper have a younger brother?

[Puckett34]

Let's not relive Harper's HR, Fox Sports

[Riverbrian]

 

Of course, I do think Jepsen got robbed on a strike call.

 

You never know with the camera angle

 

However... It would have been a neat time to use that Fox Trax thing-a-ma-job so we could have seen for ourselves. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

What a joke.

And a poorly constructed one.

JIMMER?!

 

I am the guy back in the 83rd row, 16th from the left.

I don't mind the fastballs.  Harper wasn't catching up.  I mind the location.  Keep the ball up.  Don't throw one at the knees where he can drop the barrel. He gave in instead of just challenging him up high.

It seems like foxtracks is not being used as much this year. Almost like MLB told broadcasters to knock it off because they don't like umps being second guessed. Or, they couldn't get sponsors for foxtracks.

If Trevor May and Kevin Jepsen started a business. That business would be open 24/7. It would never close.

[Darius]

I'm shocked that the lockdown late inning guy, Kevin Jepsen, blew another one.

 

Who could've ever seen all of these bullpen meltdowns coming?

 

(The correct answer to that question is everyone on Earth except Terry Ryan.)

It is very possible you could be Ghost Rider.

Thank You... I'll be here all week... Don't forget to tip your waiters and waitresses. 

 

Try the Veal...

 

Good Night.

So when the Nats were batting, they used the Fox Trax to show how bad the call was but when the Twins are pitching they don't?

Home Field Advantage? 

[Darius]

How many more meltdowns will Jepsen get before he loses the role as closer? This is getting a bit ridiculous.

Have you even watched the Twins before? (Joke). He'll close through 2017.

What game are you watching? The Nats have been batting when the Twins pitch thus far on my stream.

[jimmer]

Murphy's OBP is .097 and his slg% is .100.

[Riverbrian]

You know this game is running late when you hit the info button on the TV and it says "Vikings: Beyond the Gridiron" 

[Craig Arko]

I think Dick just said Brian Harper.

[Blake]

Boy, this is certainly baseball. Duffey was dealing and going toe-to-toe with Strasburg and  is knocked out. The pen keeps it together just long enough for May then Jepsen to fail.

OK, regroup and find a way to leave town with a W.

would that surprise you?

[ashbury]

Good counterpoint to the nay-sayers who would tell you his .067 BA is an empty .067.

[Puckett34]

Eh...close enough.  It's worse when Bert calls Gibson, Kyle Lohse.  

[Circus Boy]

In Bah-stun they call this Bryce fella The Hah-per.
