Well, that was another deflating inning.

I guess we can add that to a long list of deflating innings recently.

[Blake]

On the upside, Diaz is making Angel Hernandez look good.

[IndyTwinsFan]

It doesn't bother me so much if a pitcher is getting borderline calls but that pitch was about 4 borderlines outside.

If not more.

[notoriousgod71]

 

More like 13.

 

DOES ANYONE USE THE METRIC SYSTEM!

[ashbury]

Conversely, 0-2 doesn't usually end well for the batter, so the ump's call just put Cron out of his misery a little earlier, is all.

[notoriousgod71]

 

 

Please, can we all agree that balls and strikes should be called correctly by a reliable machine?

 

Absolutely not.

Only people who spell "color" "colour."

DOES ANYONE USE THE METRIC SYSTEM!

 

Yes. That last demi-inning sucked!

[IndyTwinsFan]

That's some good umping right there.

With more than a little sarcasm.

[Pius Jefferson]

Were the Twins overconfident coming into this series?

No.

[Danchat]

I'm not the biggest advocate for electronic strike zones, but horrendous calls like that make me want them. I wish we could at least hold these umpires responsible.

Not a great argument in my opinion. With that you're assuming that Cron was going to strikeout anyway. The umpire took the bat out of Cron's hands. The next pitch could have been a 2 run home run for all we know.

[Nine of twelve]

Littell should throw a pitch 6 inches outside to see if Diaz will do a make-up call.

Le Big Mac!

[operation mindcrime]

CROM!!!!!!!!!

[Blake]

 

Le Big Mac!

Uh, that's French, not metric!

[IndyTwinsFan]

If they did, I'd like to know what about their recent play they were basing it on.

[USAFChief]

I wouldn't pitch to Lindor here.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Littell should throw a pitch 6 inches outside to see if Diaz will do a make-up call.

I doubt it.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Cmon Turtle!

[operation mindcrime]

Royale with cheese!

[notoriousgod71]

Get ejected, Rocco, please for the love of God.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Royale with cheese!

now there’s a solution to currency exchange rates!

[AlwaysinModeration]

Big rally here.

[Blake]

Diaz is really going out of his way to screw this game up for the Twins.

 

 

[LaBombo]

Play stops when the Indians make a booboo?

 

What's next? A do-over?

[VATwinsFan]

A-Stud-Dillo doing his best to shake things up.

[operation mindcrime]

SCHOOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[USAFChief]

SCHOOP!!!
