Game Thread: Twins v Rays, 5/28 @ 1:10pm CT

[AlwaysinModeration]

Too many calls that couldn't have been reversed either way have gone against the Twins.

The Rosario out at third was overturned against the Twins.

[FlauerPauer]

How about the front office goes out and actually gets a closer. Closers don't strike out 5 per 9. Garbage. Terrible.

I honestly don't think any were eggregiously called incorrectly.

[Willihammer]

With Kintzler at 96 I expect no less than 102 from press

[Jerr]

Twins are 25 and 0 after the 8th inning with a lead!!!!!!

 

I want this game to make it 26 and 0   

[Willihammer]

Throwing a lot of breaking balls for a tie game, runner on third, scrubs batting situation

[Blake]

The out at third shouldn't have been overturned. The correct call was "inconclusive." If NY can make that determination, then the Dozier run should have counted.

 

Either NY is consistent or they are not. In this game, NY is not consistent, at all.

I'm not the biggest Kintzler fan, but the guy has been pretty damn solid this year

[Willihammer]

Sheesh.

 

We got Rosario up? Need a baserunner!

[Jerr]

Breathe, now for the walk off win, as this game is ours!!!!!!!

[SwainZag]

Thank you Pressly.  

 

I am calling it, Kepler makes up for his downright awful day with a walk off bomb

[drock2190]

Twins better win this or this will be a deflating loss

[Riverbrian]

And last year

I stand by my statement. I think the best calls that could havd been made were made.

[yarnivek1972]

Thank you Pressly.

LOL

 

Bremer: A HIGH drive to right field

 

 

[yarnivek1972]

I don't know how you let Escobar bat in this situation with Grossman on the bench.

[stringer bell]

The fact is that all the calls that were reviewed came up against the Twins. I don't think any call was "wrong", but if any of the three go the other way, the Twins win the game (probably).

Whom do you suggest?

[stringer bell]

No redemption for hitters 4-6.

[Willihammer]

You mean Sano?

[yarnivek1972]

You mean Sano?

Not really. Not the way Sano is swinging.

[Blake]

Then we disagree. 

[Riverbrian]

Two outs... We most likely have another inning to play regardless. I was worried that Molitor might burn Sano in that spot. I'm actually glad he didn't. 

 

We might need Grossman and Sano to do something important in the 10th. 

[Willihammer]

Whatever. We got the Full Court Press on. Back in the dugout soon enough

[Bark's Lounge]

 

I'd agree with that most of the time ... but making the 3rd out in that situation, I'm not sure I do.

Yeah in hind sight it could be a game killer today, but I wanted positive vibes to win the day - so I ran my mouth. I'm a bit worried for the outcome.

The only call I was disappointed with was the reversal at third.  It didn't look conclusive to me but they might have had another angle. 

[AlwaysinModeration]

I don't know how you let Escobar bat in this situation with Grossman on the bench.

And Sano.

[Riverbrian]

That is a real nice slider!!!

He tried to listen to me, needed a little more try though
