Game Thread "Godot" Twins @ Rangers 2:05pm cdt 8/18/2019

[Nine of twelve]

 

IF auto strike zone was to be implemented, would they tailor it to every individual batter? Do we know?

It's my understanding that that is the plan. As for me, I think it's an interesting idea to have the same strike zone for every player.

so Aaron Judge and Jose Altuve get the same zone?

[stringer bell]

Very inconsistent zone, no question and he did Clase no favors. 

 

I will say that 100 mph fastballs don't guarantee success. Remember that when Graterol is recalled.

[Riverbrian]

 

then we have no idea whether he "dotted" any upper or lower corner.

 

Unfortunately... Neither does the umpire.

[ashbury]

Who are you, and what have you done with Ehire Adrianza?

Disposed permanently of the old one, I hope.

[IndianaTwin]

Yes

The wheels on the bus...

Old McDonald had a farm...

With a knick-knack patty whack...

I’m a little teapot, short and stout...

London Bridge is falling down....

 

Nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah. You’re going to have them stuck in your head all night.

Sign behind home plate “Dallas Truck World” is redundant.

They'd have to. 

 

They will figure it out. 

 

We've managed to figure out 3 sided flip phones, portable copy and paste devices. They'll figure out the difference between 5 foot 7 and 6 foot 8. 

[Don Walcott]

nope.

Sure, worms, but how about itsy bitsy spiders?

Cmon Rogers, lock it down

[PDX Twin]

Kaat would have had that. (50 years ago)

[FlauerPauer]

Was really hoping he'd have a clean 1-2-3...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Though, the odds go up significantly when you win the first three.

And...

 

they go down even more significantly if you don't.

[Don Walcott]

Was really hoping he'd have a clean 1-2-3...

I’m hoping for a less than three-run inning.

[glunn]

 

I don't know what to think about robot umps, for sure there will be tons more walks and runs..  Football scores in baseball

Welcome to TD!

[operation mindcrime]

SWEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[USAFChief]

WINNAH.

 

man, seems like I had that cued up way too long.

[Nine of twelve]

 

Speaking of — I ordered a chicken and an egg this morning on Amazon. I’ll let you know.

That's dinner!

[IndianaTwin]

Sure, worms, but how about itsy bitsy spiders?

NOTHING kills Itsy, Bitsy Spiders.

[Riverbrian]

Rung him up on a pitch outside the box. 

 

Fitting

 

And I'll take it. 

[ashbury]

Winner, winner!

 

[PDX Twin]

I fitting end. Called third strike on a ball outside the box at 3-2.

[Danchat]

Impressive job, Twins... now enjoy matchups against the White Sox and Tigers!

[jimbo92107]

Figures that the game ends with another blown call by the plate ump.

 

Twins win! Skol!
