My 10,000 post is...

Skaggs 100th pitch landed in the bleachers! \m/

[Aggies7]

Skaggs with his hat off looks like every 80’s movie bully

[Aggies7]

Heck of a play by jorge

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Not Berrios’s finest outing ...

[Aggies7]

Unbelievable

[Aggies7]

How are the angels 19-21

[MMMordabito]

PED check on La Stella?

Balls have less drag, more homeruns. Get used to it

[MMMordabito]

How are the angels 19-21

Because Skaggs or some bullpen fodder will likely give it right back

[Aggies7]

One to forget for Jose

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

unfortunately true

[MNT1996]

If the Twins manage to comeback to win this one it's gotta be their most impressive W

[h2oface]

 

That would be new. I don't think he's missed a pitch this game so far.

 

I don't know what you use to quantify that.... but the you sure do stick up for umpires. I know that you have said you umpire or umpired. I did some too. I know that an umpire is just guessing the best they can, and would think anybody that has done it would know that too, and have no need to stick up for them when there are better options. It is the close ones the players deserve the most, and are all too often robbed of the correct call. I would look them up, but it really isn't worth it.

I don't think home runs are up 900% across the league.

[wabene]

McGill fireman!

[h2oface]

No "trade for prospects" folks calling for Berrios head here? Good.

I will mark this post as: game thread humor

 

[Aggies7]

Great googily moogily that was an ugly series of at bats

[MNT1996]

Joe West making the wrong call? That's a first.

[Don Walcott]

Joe West making the wrong call? That's a first.

He’s particularly bad when umpiring at first.

[USAFChief]

This offense looks way different without Cruz in the middle of it.

[MNT1996]

May hitting 97? Good to see

I agree. I don’t fault the umpires for getting it wrong. It’s just that there are better options, since literally everyone watching the game on tv can see the balls and strikes better than the umpire behind home plate.

[USAFChief]

Top of the order. Let's do this.

[Aggies7]

All in all, I liked it better when we were winning
