Ohhh come on!!!!!

[yarnivek1972]

The 9th should be interesting, if it's a save opportunity that is

There won't be a 9th. This is probably it.

[ashbury]

Hindsight is 20/20 but would it have made more sense for the Twins put Grossman in the field and just have the pitcher hit?

 

It's not like they needed more offense. 

Grossman in left doesn't get within the same area code of that ball.

[spinowner]

Unfortunately there won't be enough rain to wipe out the inning. They'll resume.

[John Kelsey]

 

Nice play by Polanco but it really didn't look like he needed to dive. 

 

I think he could have ranged over and picked up the ball cleanly and completed an easy double play. 

My thoughts exactly. But Bert said it was outstanding. 

[Aggies7]

Lol is the umpire a twins fan

[John Kelsey]

 

Grossman in left doesn't get within the same area code of that ball.

 

I'm assuming Grossman would have moved to right. 

[BoofBonser]

George Springer is a little b!tch.. someone go get his pacifier

Find a guy who wouldn't be angry in that situation. 

[stringer bell]

4:03, I'm out. Hope it doesn't rain too long.

[spinowner]

Radar showing scattered rain. They'll finish.

[Riverbrian]

 

My thoughts exactly. But Bert said it was outstanding. 

 

It was but he made it unnecessarily outstanding... That should have been a routine double play. 

 

He left his feet too soon. Had to curl up to avoid diving past the ball. If he keeps his feet moving it would have been routine. I've watched it about 5 times now. I think I'm right. 

[mikecgrimes]

springer and the manager need to be ejected what a joke

[BoofBonser]

Talking about his backwards K earlier also... arguing balls and strikes on an easy K on the inside corner

Dude's just cussing up a storm and throwing his helmet

As I sit here at Target Field during the dumbest rain delay ever, all I can say is that was a tremendous waste of time. It basically stopped raining before they even had the tarp out.

[twins_89]

It's going to suck if rain forces Breslow out of the game. All we have left then are the AAAA pitchers Wheeler and Rucinski (or maybe Belisle who threw 30 pitches yesterday).

Shortest tarp on and off I've ever seen...major screw up by the umps or the Twins weather dude or dudette

Making it an even tougher play.

 

_{^{(I had forgotten the majority of Robbie's few innings in the field this year have been in RF.)}}

Truth.  

[Whammy]

I'm blaming Kintzler

Hinch will probably file a complaint with the league office and I don't blame him.

No doubt. It's rained for 30 seconds multiple times. Nothing has changed on the radar. Just a waste of time really.

[Aggies7]

Everyone is a meteorologist. Baseball umpires wait far too long to call for the tarp all the time. So what

[BoofBonser]

Might as well. Wouldn't be in this bullpen dilemma 

[glunn]

I hope that our batters spent some time in the cage during the rain delay. We could use runs in the bottom of the 8th.

[wsnydes]

Me neither, that was a joke. I was reading this thread as they were rolling the tarp out without any fear of my phone getting wet.

[BoofBonser]

If I'm Breslow I'm throwing all offspeed to Springer since he's so pissed off
He's gonna try to hit the **** out of the ball

[wsnydes]

It's sprinkling again...better roll the tarp back out!

[Whammy]

I don't understand what they're mad at. Springer hitting cold is much easier than Breslow going back out there
