No way! Interference all the way.

[David HK]

Hey, somehow I've gone past 1K posts.  I'm a Red Wing now?  How'd that happen?    There weren't fireworks, or anything, and I didn't get a cake.  Ah, heck, I'd settle fer a win.

[TheLeviathan]

The hell?

[Aggies7]

Review is starting to become ridiculous

[Puckett34]

How is that a home run?

Bremer -- How in the world does the ball get out of the ballpark?

 

Me -- Because it hit the fan's hand, Dick.  Can see it on the replay where Meyer's head gets in the way.  

[Aggies7]

It's too bad the Astros play in such a gimmicky park.

[tharasix]

Turns out that Mauer RBI was important.

[HitInAPinch]

damnit, stop calling for breaking balls

You will get a bobble head of one of the moderators in the next week or so.

[Whammy]

Sure looked like Altuve offered at that 2-2 pitch

[AlwaysinModeration]

Jerry Layne, the umpire from last night, called that on the field. Apparently doesn't like to be proven wrong.

 

Does this mean if a fan reaches over to catch a ball it is a home run? Suddenly the first row of the OF seats are more important.

[wavedog]

Don't understand why that was a home run either. Fan whiffed on it and it hit below the line.

I want Meyers to mow em down so I can post this:

This sentence feels like it should be about a ballpark in a video game, not in real life.

[Hrbowski]

Meyer isn't getting calls he should.

But... You already did...

[wavedog]

Plouffe-da

[LaBombo]

 

Turns out Ted Williams was pretty good at baseball.

 

Yeah.    It was a lot easier to like him after I found out that he was much better at baseball than at making outboard motors that would start before your arm was ready to fall out of the socket from pulling the rope over and over.

 

Luckily we had the motor when I was in little league so my dad had me on a strict pull count.

Utter disaster. Hook em!

Clearly it was a good decision. Meyers has such great stuff, but his mechanics seems deplorable. 

[nicksaviking]

Plouffe didn't seem inclined to lay out for that one.

[Jham]

Meyer better stick.  I just followed him on Twitter...  Stuff looks good, seems more composed.  Still lacks good command in and out of the zone.  94-95 is pretty Pelfrey-ish...  He's going to need to learn to hit spots.

[LaBombo]

This is one of those innings that builds character.

 

For Meyer too,    I mean,    not just us.

Could have been a triple play.

"Spot" is very optimistic. More like zones.

[Aggies7]

Amazing. Can't stand guys who fold under pressure

[Whammy]

No favors done for Meyer this inning. Ballpark, replay, ump, plouffe.

[wavedog]

Gotta block that pitch Suzuki.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Hurray!

 

We got an out!
