Article: Game Thread: Twins v Blue Jays, 4/30 @ 7:10pm CT

Sorry that isn't correct, the ground has nothing to do with it. It's the relation of the ball to the line. The rule book says fair territory is from the baselines perpendicular upwards. Any part of the ball that breaks that plane it is fair.

 

Um, yeah....which is pretty much what I said.  If the ball is touching the line, it would be breaking that plane.  If there's brown dirt between the ball and the line, then it's not breaking the plane.  Not quite sure where the misunderstanding is.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Watching the replay.

 

Kepler for some strange reason broke toward the plate and didn't get back to tag.

 

Brian Dozier was quoted as saying: "I could’ve said something but they have tremendous veteran leadership over there".

 

The Orioles will talk to Kepler about it when they come to town.

Yep, saw the same thing. Dunno why Kepler broke for home there.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Whew. Morrison has just been brutal.

[LaBombo]

So I get home and turn on the tv, and not only does L.L. Bomb immediately give up a 2nd deck homer to Russ Martin, but a Twins fan biffs the catch and a guy and gal in Russ Martin shersies celebrate coming up with the rebound, including a mock throw of the ball back onto the field.

 

The Twins are so bad right now that they're affecting the performance of the fans.

That was a damned fine play.

[IndianaTwin]

How long until I can stop seeing Adrianza in the lineup. Give me Nick please.

Are you kidding? He’ll be 41 in November.

 

(You did mean Punto, right?)

There are more dropped balls in the stands at Target Field than the stands at any other stadium. 

 

I've been doing research on it. 

 

Minnesota Hands are often used as models for sculptors.

Shoulda bunted, brian

One of the only positives for the Twins during this young season:

 

Escobar.

 

I don't understand why lots of people are still screaming for Polanco to come back. I believe Escobar has more than earned the starting SS job. Polanco can now become a utility guy. Adrianza should be let go when Polanco comes back. I don't think we miss Polanco at all if Sano is healthy. Polanco is not a good fielder either.

Stone fingers

Brian Dozier is now 4 for his last 33. 

 

This is Logan Morrison's first 33 At Bats Territory.

A Twins catcher?

[Nine of twelve]

Wow, it's great to see Hildenberger pitch like this.

[TwinsCD]

16 pitches, 6 outs....we like this efficiency!!  Send him out again!!

[Aggies7]

Impressive

[Riverbrian]

So... the big question. 

 

When does Molly throw the Bats into the Shower. 

 

[Blake]

Convert Hildenberger into a starter!

[TwinsCD]

Sanchez had blue strings on his glove but it was all brown.  Loup has gray panels on that other glove he had.

[Aggies7]

Wow joe getting jobbed here

[Aggies7]

Haha you have to appreciate that from joe

[Nine of twelve]

Mr. Mauer will inform you if the pitch is a strike.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

A Twins catcher?

Sano's?

[Brock Beauchamp]

That’s what I love about Mauer. He has a bull**** strike called on him and then takes the identical pitch to left field.

Actually two BS strikes.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Actually two BS strikes.

Half watching and only caught the second one and said “that was a strike?” Then FoxTrax showed it clearly wasn’t.

Automation Please

I got to shower and we're mounting a comeback. 

 

Maybe if I go swim across the ocean we will win the world series

Well, what are you waiting for?

[Brock Beauchamp]

Really strange to pull your lefty to turn around Esco and then leave a righty in against Kepler.

THE GERMAN BOMBER STRIKES AGAIN
