Not much we can do about the umping there.

It's a Hernandez crew, so they're already down a man.

Hey, we should be happy that Hernandez didn’t eject Schoop for... something.

He might file a lawsuit against him after the game, though.

[Brock Beauchamp]

So this is what a normal baseball game feels like. I’d forgotten what they were like.

[Nine of twelve]

OK, Berrios, bear down here. Let's see about 10 consecutive batters retired.

Well there have still been 3 HR and it’s the middle of the 3rd.

[Mr. Brooks]

You weren't missing much. Dick and Roy were going off all yesterday about how great of baseball the 10 inning loss was. And I turn on the game today and first thing Dick and LaTroy are talking about is how good the Yankees series was. I enjoy hitting as much as the next guy but I sure wouldn't call either of those games good baseball.

The broadcasters are employed by the team.

Meanwhile, the Yankees have given up 12 runs to the Red Sox in just 4 innings...

Hey, it’s 2019. This is basically a pitcher’s duel.

Breaks my heart to hear that.

Talking about extending the netting and evaluating foul balls and such--Target Field has less foul territory than any other MLB stadium except Wrigley. This says to me that netting is needed more there than almost any other stadium.

That's interesting. TF isn't exactly a hitters park. I know it's normalized from being a pitchers park, but one would think that little foul territory plays to hitters in a big way.

[Mill1634]

Good inning, not real efficient. Need JO to get through at least 6

I hate the idea of netting.

 

Pay attention to the game so the rest of us don’t have to stare through black string all game.

I mostly agree with this ... but sometimes that ball just comes really fast. And sometimes it's just hard to get out of the way because of people around you.

discriminating against kids and people with ADHD I see...

I hate the idea of kids getting hurt by 100+ mph batted balls

You don’t have to outrun the bear, you just need need to outrun the person next to you. I feel the same principle applies to foul balls.

[diehardtwinsfan]

schoop gets us going... let's get a big crooked number and kick Gio out of the game.

or bring a glove and know how to use it.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Hell of a bunt.

 

Schoop is so slow.

[MNT1996]

why push bunt? put it down the 3rd baseline so theres less of a chance of the runner getting out at 2nd...

[Squirrel]

WOOOOOOOO!

Foul balls have predatory instincts?
