Pineda painting the corner!!!!

[woolywoolhouse]

So the outside low corner is a strike today. Remember that call on Vogelbach.

What if I enjoy posting? You all might not enjoy it.

This calls for a venn diagram...

 

But i got no problem with that!

Second option, might be an even better one.

Bob Ross?

 

Picasso?

 

Norman Rockwell seems thematically appropriate, but now i do wanna see the pitcher who paints corners like Picasso.

"My eyes!

 

My eyes!

 

Now what am i gonna do for eyes?"

[MNT1996]

Pineda's slider looks deadly today. Hopefully he can keep this going

[Aggies7]

You say Kikuchi I say Kikachi

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Like this one?

 

Yes

 

I suppose there is a matching one somewhere with the intersection of down on knees and begging please to come home...

[Pardon My Dinger]

This Cologuard spokesbox is full of s***.

[operation mindcrime]

Yeah Schoop!!!

[VATwinsFan]

So assuming the Harvard U study they're talking about is correct, 34,000 missed strike/ball calls in a season means there are 14 missed pitches/game (34,000/2,430 games).

 

Assuming 125 pitches per team per game, that comes out to an error rate of about 5.5%, which means the home plate umps are correct 94.5% of the time.  

 

Acceptable or not?

 

Discuss.

[operation mindcrime]

Good eye Max!!! Way to advance that runner!!!

[Blake]

 

Bob Ross?

Picasso?

I don't think Vogelbach qualifies as a happy little tree.

[MMMordabito]

Keep it going guys ... Wear out Kikuchi!  The Twins aren't the only team capable of bullpen meltdown.

[operation mindcrime]

Yeah Ehire!!!!!!!! What a bunt!!!!!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Yeah Schoop!!!

Kepler joins him on the base paths...

 

I hope they make it home.

[Squirrel]

That was a gift. Why was the 1st baseman not on the bag?

[Don Walcott]

Smart play there, Ehire!

[Don Walcott]

Maybe he's a terrible fielder?

[Puckett34]

I'd like to see Buxton bunt like that from time to time against a lefty

[Squirrel]

Would be a nice time for Castro to get a solid hit.

[Blake]

I'd rather discuss a less contentious issues: 1911 versus Glock, DH or pitcher flails wildly.

[snotboogie]

He looked confused.

[Blake]

Looked like a senior moment, to me.

 

Which I've recently become somewhat expert on.

[Squirrel]

Okay, I’m not saying anything more.

[Tomj14]

I said this in another thread but Castro and Sano are the two I don't like batting with a guy at third and less than two outs.

and of course as I hit enter he strikes out, I must have cursed him.

[Don Walcott]

There's one time where a strikeout is worse than other outs.

[Blake]

Kikuchi:
