I don't live in Minnesota, has this ever siren thing ever happened before?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Alright guys, the siren works.

But will it work for another 3 minutes?

[bighat]

Good grief, this is just embarrassing already.

 

 

[MNT1996]

The Red Sox hijacked the sirens. They knew it would disrupt Pineda's rhythm.

[shortround81]

 

Can they really not schedule another time for the tornado drill?? Schedule comes out months ago

 

Weird. Up here we always test the sirens the first Wednesday of the month

[Diesel]

This is absolutely ridiculous

 

[Cap'n Piranha]

Ultimately, I'm not sure why a hitter is expected to deal with thousands of screaming fans, but a tornado siren is somehow beyond anyone's ability to focus through.

[LVTwinsfan]

But will it work for another 3 minutes?

Does anybody really care

[USAFChief]

That's the subcurrent of the film. He thinks he can't walk, but he really won't walk. In the end he doesn't walk anyway. The film is under review.

I think the message--if he doesn't walk, does it matter if it's can't or won't?--really comes shining through in the crucial segments.

[LVTwinsfan]

In 2021 is it necessary to have a WWII era siren to warn people of tornadoes?

[Mill1634]

2 strikes with the siren, 4 balls without. Fire it back up!

[LVTwinsfan]

#42 struck out

[bighat]

Cure for Garret Richards' 10.82 ERA? A trip to Target Field.

Towns around my house still have volunteer fire sirens, which go off at every fire call

[jkcarew]

 

Most animated Iv seen Rocco all season. 

That sh—‘s FUNNY!

[USAFChief]

Astudillo popped up to the infield.

 

Weird. You rarely see that.

[ashbury]

The film he entered in the festival is about a man who can't walk. A very sad but uplifting film.

"I cried because I had no cleats, until I met a batter who could not work the count for a walk." -- Helen Keller, baseball scout

[MNT1996]

This team would be 1-11 if they didn't have Cruz, Buxton and Arraez

[Cap'n Piranha]

Well, I think we might be approaching the annual "Willians Astudillo still isn't a quality MLB hitter" day.

A guy hanging on in the majors with that skill set? Concur.

Yeah but that actually makes sense

[USAFChief]

A bit of interesting trivia: Ms Keller is the scout who recommended the Twins sign Tsuyoshi Nishioka.

[Aggies7]

 

Yeah but that actually makes sense

and they are LOUD. like WW2 air raid sirens

Regression to the mean is such a mean thing to witness.

[Aggies7]

the sirens are preferable to the woos though

[Cap'n Piranha]

Bremer: "Arraez makes a diving catch!"

 

Diving is a very charitable description of what Luis did just now.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Cave gets that...

 

(too soon?)

[Brock Beauchamp]

Arraez didn't make it look pretty, but he made the catch.

[Cap'n Piranha]

What if the siren was just a recording of woos?
