I assume he meant Kinsler, not Kepler.

Kinsler is not left-handed. No infielders are left-handed except 1Bs.

[BoofBonser]

Where did Kep get plunked?

Don't you dare tell those beautiful southpaws where they can play on the infield.

Top of the foot, I believe I heard Cory say.

Why are we reviewing this call?  Wasn't even close!

 

That said, poor taste to play J Geils Band in the stadium the day after his death?  Too soon?

[Cap'n Piranha]

Cory, referring to Sano's foul, "Yesterday, that may have stayed in the park, and been a homerun".  

 

That Sano is so athletic, Cory just assumes he'd get an inside-the-park dinger.

[woolywoolhouse]

Oh give it to Sano. Be cool.

What if it's a tribute?

If that's a used challenge, that's a pathetic use of one.

what are they challenging? Game day isn't saying anything.

[Cap'n Piranha]

The Sano review has broken Gameday.  Come on nerds, get it fixed!

[Cap'n Piranha]

They were challenging whether or not Sano's foul hooked inside the pole, and would therefore have been a jonron.  Unsurprisingly, the call stood, so Sano had to settle for working a walk.

Crew chief review of long Sano foul ball. No call from the manager.

[Blake]

And again, the opposing pitcher takes the free strike against Mauer.

I mean, better than our pitcher taking the free strike against Mauer.

[FunnyPenguin]

What is happening? Gameday is dead

[Blake]

Of course, I knew all along Mauer was going to get a hit......

[Cap'n Piranha]

Yay Joe!  Way to beat that ball into the ground!

[Brock Beauchamp]

Mauer single, 3-0 Twins.

Toe of the left foot.  Should be fine.

Joe with the metronome hit!!!!  Thank goodness for that landing strip that Detroit has.

[gocgo]

Polanco taking hard cuts on 0-2.

[rghrbek]

Love the Bremgasm on Polonco's foul ball....good times.

[gocgo]

That's high on Polanco...I don't like this umps inconsistent zone.  Called Castro out on a pitch 3 inches inside.

[Blake]

Ah, another sign this year just might be a bit different.. How many times did we see the bases loaded, last year, and no runs scored? I seem to recall it started in the first few games of the year and sort of became a habit for the team the whole season.

[D. Hocking]

 

 Bremgasm 

 

I am not sure this is a word that should have ever been thought of or created.  

[gocgo]

That was a long half inning.  Gibson could be tight.  Would love to see a quick 1-2-3  inning.

So far so good.
