Umps are having a tough game already

[MNT1996]

Umps have been awful this series

[wavedog]

Rosario is swinging at balls

[70charger]

Our batters are getting fried.

 

 

 

(Booo!)

[Cap'n Piranha]

 

Rosario is swinging at balls

 

Yeah, Rosie needs to get back to better discipline.  Right now he is number one on the trade list for outfielders.

[MNT1996]

Sano's had a couple of those lately. Needs to do a couple more pushups

[VATwinsFan]

Meanwhile, for some reason that last game in Miami keeps coming to mind.

[wsnydes]

 

Rosario is swinging at balls

Yeah, that's been the trend recently. Not a good thing at all.

[yarnivek1972]

Sano breaks the string of strikeouts.

 

Not something I expected to type. He’s been doing well lately, but still.

[Aggies7]

I can think of better starts to a game than what I'm seeing here. yeesh

[MNT1996]

Someone is definitely going to get ejected this game

[wsnydes]

Always a good sign when a team starts barking at the ump early in a game...

[Cap'n Piranha]

Marwin Gonzalez with a .616 OPS in 88 PA's in the second half.  Time for a 10-day IL stint for Marwin.

Pretty justified. The first strike call to Rosario was not even close. 

[wsnydes]

Justified or not, unraveling this early isn't a good sign.

[yarnivek1972]

Marwin Gonzalez with a .616 OPS in 88 PA's in the second half. Time for a 10-day IL stint for Marwin.

To be replaced by whom?

[Dakota15]

Freddie Freeman is destroying the Twins this series, 7-11 w/3 home runs

[VATwinsFan]

Freeman is 7-11 for the series, Albies is 7-13.

[yarnivek1972]

I’m not sure Perez survives this inning.

[Aggies7]

c'mon, don't make me go back to work.

[bighat]

Lunch break: RUINED!

 

For once I'm happy to have to go back to work.

 

Twins when wearing the white jerseys have played terribly this year BTW, don't have the stats handy but it's brutal! Abolish them.

[VATwinsFan]

Given his history against the Twins, I guess a walk to Donaldson isn't too bad.

 

Except that it loads the bases with no outs.

[twinsnorth49]

 

Justified or not, unraveling this early isn't a good sign.

It's not unravelling, better to let him know early. Have to do something. 

[wavedog]

C'mon ump at least call it the same against both teams

[Aggies7]

twins have not won a series against a winning team since the first series out of the all star break. about a month ago. not a complaint, just a tidbit!

[Cap'n Piranha]

 

To be replaced by whom?

 

De Aza, Rosario, or Gordon are all options for a 10 day stint.

[VATwinsFan]

0-0 in Cleveand, top of the 3d.

[yarnivek1972]

Get Perez out NOW!

[wavedog]

Hope Garver is OK - took a nasty foul ball to the mask.  

[rdehring]

Is this guy behind home plate as bad as it sounds?  And unlike some umps, the benefit going to the Atlanta pitcher?
