Game Thread: Twins @ Angels, 5/12/2018 @ 8:07 PM CDT

Great slide by Trout. But I swear Pressly was getting squeezed!

[Brock Beauchamp]

And the desiccated corpse of Pujols strikes out. 

[Aggies7]

Idaho was a drive-through (twice), but it's a long drive, so I count it.  I've lived in CT, MS, TX, NM, and OK, and we have family in GA and FL. Families with six kids don't fly much (unless the AF is paying the bill), but we traveled a lot.

 

Idaho would seem like a short drive across

[bighat]

Tied up off Pressley. Gibson once again can't win the game.

 

Pressley, bad bad bad.

 

The Angels bullpen is pretty bad too though, the Twins might still have a chance here.

[Riverbrian]

 

MLB.com seems to think Pressley is getting screwed....this thread seems to verify that huh?

 

Yep... Stamped by a Notary Public.

Drive right by Cour D'Alene didn't ya. 

[DocBauer]

I get not giving every pitcher a call, but to quote Chris Carter: "Come on man!"

[Riverbrian]

Bremer depth perception strikes again. 

[Aggies7]

Can we move a bleeping runner for the love of god

[BoofBonser]

This ump is officially a tool in my book 

[gil4]

 

Torii is beginning to get on my nerves.

Me too, and I only have the replays on MLB.com Gameday. Too much "that's how I used to do it" on the Buxton catch. 

[DocBauer]

So Bedrosian misses high and outside but HE gets the strike?

[Aggies7]

Offense has simply been dog poo outside of maybe 3 innings this series

[Riverbrian]

It's a hard job. I don't get mad at the umps. I get mad at the unions and the commissioners office. 

 

It's an easy fix. 

[DocBauer]

I get missing calls. But you have to call it both ways! Grrr! Maybe I'm just frustrated or have had too many Coronas. Lol

[DocBauer]

Yes it is. Review games. When a guy sucks, he gets demoted or fired. Isn't that how it works?

I don't think it will ever happen... it's a huge change

[Aggies7]

Can someone find out how many runs garver’s defense has cost us? Sheesh I’m sure he’s a great guy but his defense is stinking up the place

[Teflon]

At this rate Kyle Gibson will end the season with 4 wins in 32 starts.

[OTPS300]

When Garver visited the mound, he tried talking in a cartoon voice about the conversation they were having. He should have been kicked out of the booth right then and there.

[Riverbrian]

Great idea... If they did that. They'd all be gone and they would have no choice but to automate it. 

[Riverbrian]

The only change would be correct calls. I think the game will adjust to that. 

[drock2190]

Reed sure hasn't impressed me with his control. I thought he was known for that.

[gil4]

 

Drive right by Cour D'Alene didn't ya. 

Nope - stayed south. Salt Lake City to Portland by way of Boise. Then Portland to Yellowstone by way of Boise/Twin Falls/Idaho Falls. Pre-GPS - don't judge the routes.

[dbminn]

C'mon Eddie...

[DocBauer]

Perfection isn't my personal issue. Just some semblance of consistency would be nice.

And he'll still get paid next year (and deserve it.)

Hey... two paths... same finishing location is alright with me. 

 

 

[Aggies7]

LoMo HR. Callin it

[DocBauer]

Isn't this the perfect time for a Morrison bomb?
