Who didn't see that coming?

Who didn't see that coming?

Giving them a sporting chance.

 

(trying to remember the tears in the rain soliloquy...)

[Aggies7]

Should have lost two games we won. Doesn’t make it much better

Nice hustle, Rosario.

 

I'm so ******* done with Eddie. 

 

 

 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Strange days in left field...

[Aggies7]

What a disaster

[LVTwinsfan]

How is that not a ground rule double

[LVTwinsfan]

Smeltzer is not a major league pitcher

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Nice hustle, Rosario.

 

I'm so ******* done with Eddie.

In all fairness it had gone out of play...

 

Meh, hits afterwards make it less meaningful.

[mrtwinsfan]

W.T F. Eddie, play it out , dont ever presume, Bonehead day Edward

[USAFChief]

 

How is that not a ground rule double

How the (((( does Eddie not know the ground rules?

[notoriousgod71]

Who gives a ****, Dick? Smeltzer hasn't gotten anyone out anyway.

And i have been chastised for paraphrasing it by friends before...

[USAFChief]

Meh, hits afterwards make it less meaningful.

1.) Never assume. Play it out.

 

2.) It didn't go out of play. Obviously.

 

3.) hits afterwards make zero difference to the play at the time. 

[Aggies7]

8 runs off our vaunted bullpen

[mrtwinsfan]

If what morneau says about it maybe a rule, if it is  Makes Rosario even more ????,. i thought it should of been out of play,  ???

[denarded]

 

How the (((( does Eddie not know the ground rules?

Bremer and Morneau didn't either....

[sampleSizeOfOne]

How the (((( does Eddie not know the ground rules?

Yup.

 

I feel bad myself for not knowing them either.

 

Apparently the Tigers know them.

[LVTwinsfan]

Bremer and Morneau didn't either....

Theyre not Twins left fielders though

[bird]

 

How the (((( does Eddie not know the ground rules?

 

 

That's a surprise?? 

[USAFChief]

 

Bremer and Morneau didn't either....

They're not playing left field for the Minnesota Twins.

 

Besides which, you NEVER assume, play it out.

[mrtwinsfan]

Obviously Rocco knew it, which makes EDDIE look ??????????????????????

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Thanks, Rosario!

[bird]

Quick, Falvey, edit the game tape and shop the H*LL out of Rosario.

[curt1965]

I know I’m jumping into this thread late, but Baldelli is an idiot! Ok-one run down-2 outs in the 8th-we still have 6 AB’s left, and our manager brings in our worst pitcher?? What the hell is he thinking?

Now game would be tied. Hope this doesn’t come back to screw us out of the playoffs!

[Twins_Fan_For_Life]

That's Eddie. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Sometimes all in the same game.

[MMMordabito]

Nothing like a bullpen meltdown

[sampleSizeOfOne]

That's Eddie. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Sometimes all in the same game.

If only we got the Morricone sound track to go with his play...

[LVTwinsfan]

The play that had the most negative effect was Eddie running through the stop sign and getting thrown out at home with no outs. The Non ground rule double ended up being a moot point
