[glunn]

A strikeout would be nice here.

[mickeymental]

buckle up.

 

(beat me to it!)

[Aggies7]

Not only doesn’t failing to score with the bases loaded stink by itself, the carryover to the next inning is just as painful

[PDX Twin]

 

When is Luis Arraez T-shirt night?

 

The day after he goes on the IL.

[h2oface]

Pineda says thanks for yet another inherited runner scored, Harper.

[h2oface]

That Castro defense. A glove man.

[bighat]

LOL - "Lack of Loogies". Would sure have been nice to bring in a lefty fireballer to get Grossman out instead of a righty junkballer. Twins can still get out of this up 2 if Harper can get one more of these guys out.

[HawksNest]

Wow, a sac fly with a runner on 3rd?  I didn't know that was legal!

[Aggies7]

Another free base. Must have been the 12th one this homestand

[glunn]

Whew. Now we need insurance runs.

[bighat]

The finger in the dyke holds....still think the Twins are going to need more runs to win this one.

[Diesel]

Who’s pitching the rest of this game? May and Stewart?

[yarnivek1972]

Harper again allowing an inherited runner to score. 14 of 30 now.

 

 

But, but, he’s got a solid ERA.

[MNT1996]

 

The finger in the dyke holds....still think the Twins are going to need more runs to win this one.

 

My mind went completely somewhere else after reading that expression.

[glunn]

 

Who’s pitching the rest of this game? May and Stewart?

May is warming up.

[h2oface]

5 pitches to the first 3 batters. 

 

Then Gonzalez makes him pitch, and it is a 4 pitch walk. 

How about working the count, boys.

[glunn]

 

5 pitches to the first 3 batters. 

I wish that the Twins batters would be more patient.

[ashbury]

buckle up.

 

(beat me to it!)

I want them to buckle down.

 

And, least of all do I want the bullpen to simply buckle.

[h2oface]

 

I wish that the Twins batters would be more patient.

 

If for nothing else, for the pitchers to get a break between innings.

[glunn]

 

If for nothing else, for the pitchers to get a break between innings.

Amen.

[Aggies7]

Here comes our old nemesis. The bases loaded situation

[PDX Twin]

Predicted final score: Oakland 8, Minnesota 6. I think both teams know what's coming, too.

[Tom Froemming]

Replay ... ugh.

[glunn]

Out??? Boo!

[FLTwinsGuy]

Wow that was a horse**** overturn

[Jham]

I thought it was obvious and didn't watch the replays. was he really out?

[Diesel]

Replay gets it wrong so many times

[FLTwinsGuy]

I thought it was obvious and didn't watch the replays. was he really out?

Sure looked like when the ball hit the glove he was off the base

[wavedog]

Bull crap! I don’t think there was clear proof to overturn the call unless they had a different angle. If that is the case then Arraez should have been safe at home earlier in the game.

[h2oface]

Must have had a view we didn't see to reverse the call. Easy to just say replay gets it wrong when one doesn't know what all the angles were.That pitch was was outside as well.
