Game Thread: Twins vs Cleveland 7:10 PM EDT (6:10 PM CDT) 9/7/2019

following the mass resignations in 1999 because the umpires could not strike according to their agreement 22 umpires were not allowed to rescind their resignations and they became permanent. This failed negotiation tactic is used as a model as to what not to do in a negotiation for union contracts. That union is no longer , the umpires belong to a new union now

 

And when is the contract up for renewal?

Looked this up and it turns out that he not only is protected from liability, he also has a strong case for being discriminated against by gravity.

Bravo!

Yes. Mitch Garver, Mr. DO IT ALL!

[Blake]

Interesting thought: A depleted Twins lineup just beat Cleveland.

That seems like it would have been a very fun game to attend as I would have been finishing off my 10th beer from Barrio.

I vote for making it 12 after tomorrow's game!

I don’t know, but trying to get umpires to actually be accountable would be tough to negotiate, the union will take a tough stance on that

[VATwinsFan]

Rogers against 7-8-9 batters.

 

Piece of cake, right?

 

Please.

Never a doubt.

It's tough to call a game against an opponent you're up 5.5 games on a 'Must Win', but with Pineda suspended and Gibson still out... yeah, it felt a little like a Must Win. Well done, Twins!

[Blake]

 

Twins smell blood in the water.....

Seconded!

 

All in favor?

A ‘for morale’ must win.
