Game Thread Sun. 7/15: Twins vs. Tampa Bay, 1:10 pm CT

[Nine of twelve]

Mauer doing what he does best--not swinging at pitches outside the strike zone.

[Cap'n Piranha]

I LOVE WALKS!!!

[Shaitan]

Up next: balk

 

C'mon...

[Cap'n Piranha]

Because they have to get a feel for the bullpen mound, which is going to be different than the bullpen mound.

Because pitchers mounds vary so much from stadium to stadium and game to game?

[S.]

100% safe.

[Nine of twelve]

He is safe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mrmpls]

Cave was safe

[notoriousgod71]

Now it's time to flip a coin to decide what the umpires will decide on this call.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Good lord Cave is so safe

[Shaitan]

The only thing worse that the quality of baseball right now is the functionality of Game Day.

[tvagle]

inconclusive...call will stand

[Nine of twelve]

Looks like Sucre was within the rules to put his foot there but it didn't prevent Cave from touching.

[notoriousgod71]

Hahahahahah, you waste five minutes to still get the call wrong.

[mickeymental]

astudillo for the save?

[Aggies7]

Absolute bullsugar

[mrmpls]

Unreal , but nice job EDDIE

[Nine of twelve]

The question is whether Cave's foot actually touched or was a fraction of an inch above the plate.

[Nine of twelve]

Hildenberger staying in the game?

[Cap'n Piranha]

Agreed—that update they pushed out a couple weeks ago is horrific.

[Aggies7]

Seems like there needs to be an extra camera angle or two especially at home plate

[tvagle]

If it's close(not saying this was close) the UMPIRE in NYC (or wherever they are) will not make his fellow UPMIRE look bad and will stick with the call

[mrmpls]

Bremar wants the umpires name in n.y. , What r u gonna do Dick

[notoriousgod71]

Then there is absolutely no point in replay (which I despise anyway).

[yarnivek1972]

Because pitchers mounds vary so much from stadium to stadium and game to game?

I’m sure they do. Especially later in a game after how many different pitchers have made how many different indentations and divvots on the mound?

[Aggies7]

Just never ever going to be easy is it

[mrmpls]

u know there running on hildy

[yarnivek1972]

Sighs again

[Aggies7]

Is there anyone else who can pitch? Ol hildy doesn’t appear to have it today

[mrmpls]

C,mon Hildy!!

[S.]

I'm amazed they didn't run on Hildy and then bunt the runner over to third.
