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

C'mon Sano pick up your teammates!!!!!

[PDX Twin]

The Twins are really good at working their way out of promising scoring opportunities without damage.

[mrtwinsfan]

 

Way to get the job done Cave!

AND CRON..  WTF

[Riverbrian]

They challenge that one but not the Cron double last night. 

[ScrapTheNickname]

I have lost all confidence in Baldelli to call for reviews! It is not "worth a shot." There may always be, no matter how late in the game, another review needed - and now he's wasted his.

SANO COUNT COULD BE 0-2

[operation mindcrime]

What were we challenging on that play?

[USAFChief]

Why is Kepler out?

rangers broadcast says "heat issues."

[Nine of twelve]

This umpire and the box on TV have disagreed on about 50 calls today.

[PDX Twin]

Does this umpire ever get one right? That's about 5 pitches this half-inning that have been called balls but were inside the box.

 

Bring on robo-ump!

[mrtwinsfan]

Alright Jorge, need ya here

[MVP Nick Punto]

SANO COUNT COULD BE 0-2

Should've been 2-2. Robot umps.

[USAFChief]

What were we challenging on that play?

my guess is "he didn't give a sliding lane."

[operation mindcrime]

Please walk in a run!!!!!

[Don Walcott]

From that list?

 

They should do "Nothing from Nothing" by Billy Preston for the stretch. It'll fit the club.

I might go with Stevie Ray Vaughn’s “Mary Had A Little Lamb.” Even Texans can remember most of the words and sing along.

[operation mindcrime]

That wasn't a strike!

[glunn]

Bases loaded has not been good for us lately.

[jimbo92107]

Wow, this plate ump has blown most of the balls and strikes calls for the last two batters.

[mrtwinsfan]

Hip hip Jorge

[Nine of twelve]

Hip hip Jorge!!!!!!!

[Don Walcott]

Hip, hip!!

[glunn]

Polanco!!!

[Riverbrian]

That was pretty cool!

 

Applause for Polanco

 

[USAFChief]

Bases loaded has not been good for us lately.

I disagree with "lately"

[IndianaTwin]

JOR-

HAY!!!!!!!!!!!

[Riverbrian]

 

Wow, this plate ump has blown most of the balls and strikes calls for the last two batters.

 

It's like he is making up his own version of the game. 

[jimbo92107]

If I were the Rangers, I would be squawking loudly from the dugout. Manager would get ejected if it was me.

[Bandit34]

There's the Polanco we are used to seeing! CLUTCH, man, CLUTCH!!!

[operation mindcrime]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
