I like the aggressive call to send him there. It took a perfect relay to get him.

[MVP Nick Punto]

Eyy, a head-first slide to first that would make my namesake proud.

[Diesel]

good send but a perfect relay

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I like the aggressive call too.

 

Of the angles they showed, the most informative was the one that required a transparent umpire...

 

We got us some exciting baseball, that's for sure!

Concur!

Agree on sending Rosie there. Out by a whisker on a perfect relay, just good baseball.

That play reminds me I want to ask if anyone really understands the rule about catchers blocking home plate. This photo on the StarTrib site shows Buxton scoring the winning run the other night. The catcher had the ball in his mitt but had just caught it; nevertheless his left leg was clearly blocking the plate and had obviously been blocking it before the ball arrived.

stupid rule that can’t really be enforced. The runner wasn’t there yet either, so he can be there

[sampleSizeOfOne]

number 9.

 

number 9.

Berrios is pitching a gem

[Mill1634]

Berrios through 5 scoreless on 71 pitches...will get the 6th, and hopefully the 7th

[DocBauer]

Dropping in late, at my dad's house for our normal Thursday night, and watching the game...sorta. lol.

 

Sorry I don't have time to "like" a bunch of great posts!

 

I agree with sending Eddie on that play, and too close to overturn, but I firmly believe he got a finger in there to be safe.

[LVTwinsfan]

Garver gonna lose his job

[Mill1634]

Jeffers again! A 105 MPH single, followed up by a 104 MPH single

[DocBauer]

Jeffers!

[MMMordabito]

Jeffers just looks like he's done this before.

[DocBauer]

BTW...THIS is the Berrios I/we expected!

[bighat]

Mitch Garver texting Rocco: "hey my ribs feel a lot better".

[MVP Nick Punto]

Jeffers again! A 105 MPH single, followed up by a 104 MPH single

At this rate, in about 52 days he'll be hitting 0mph singles!

[MVP Nick Punto]

Hmm... piranhas...

[bighat]

Seven hits and just one run....c'mon Nelson break it open here.

[Squirrel]

Cmon, Nellie!!!

[MVP Nick Punto]

Eyes are tough. I had an eyelash in my eye one time I swore was a scratched cornea.

[Squirrel]

aww, crap

[FlauerPauer]

Rats.

[bighat]

Embarrassing.

[Aggies7]

That was a 4 run inning last year

[USAFChief]

Two consecutive innings with 3 hits each, and ... no scoring.
