Game Thread: TWINS at Yankees -- September 19, 2017 7pm ET (ESPN National Broadcast)

[Darius]

This comes down to that absurd strike zone. Inning was over.

 

Just like Mauer's double, etc. You can't tell me there wasn't a rep from th commissioner's office in the umps ear before the series. No way they're letting the Twins come here, win the series straight-up, and risk the chance of the Twins/Angels dramatically knocking the Yanks out. Also, that series with Boston needs the drama.

Yeah, that's probably it.

[Aggies7]

So how long will this top of the 6th last? 3, 4 minutes?

[Aggies7]

Yeah, that's probably it.

Not that 42-95 (or whatever it is) record against NY since 2000

Pffft, optimist.

If my office had those computers I'd do that on a daily basis until our technology at least moved into the 1990's

Grounder to Gregorius (x10)

There's a panda in your office and it's the technology that upsets you?

[amjgt]

How did Polanco not make 2nd?

[snepp]

Hmmm, throws to 2nd to keep runners at 1st....

 

 

Eddie, take notes.

A giant freaking panda at that.

[amjgt]

I'm going to guess a high fastball strikeout if it gets to 2 strikes on Esco

[gil4]

I hope Rosario was watching Gardner make that throw.

Proper throw, but Polanco still needs to be on 2nd. 

[Aggies7]

How did Polanco not make 2nd?

Because the left fielder threw to the proper base.

[wavedog]

I was happily surprised Mauer made it to 3rd

[USAFChief]

Can we get a break?

[amjgt]

Can we get a break?

No kidding

[Aggies7]

This fat lump of turds is gonna finish 6 with a breeze and we don't expect big erv to do it.

Pandas are usually pretty calm. You see that garbage - I'd be right there with him.

[TwinsCD]

And here come the shakes again...

[amjgt]

The only good thing about the ESPN broadcast (which I bailed on about 10 min ago) is that it shows all balls/strike.

[Aggies7]

Eddie has seen 2 pitches in 2 at bats

[amjgt]

That's 15 rows deep in right field

[amjgt]

Eddie has seen 2 pitches in 2 at bats

Hard to complain about him being 10 feet from a grand slam

Apparently not.

It's called a lazy fly to left.

[Darius]

Another runner stranded on third with less than 2 out. It's kind of amazing, really.

There is a guy wearing a mask who needs to tune in.
