Game Thread: Twins v Tigers, 5/25 @ 12:10 local time

[wsnydes]

Buxton is only 0 fer his last 21.  Neat.

[wsnydes]

Stupid hook...

[wsnydes]

Correa gets an atta boy!

Now bring him in...

[stringer bell]

Nice double C4. 

[Drunk_Goose]

Ahhh saved a run. Hate to leave runners stranded.

[Drunk_Goose]

I know not really game related and maybe because I have had more than one drink already today lol; but everytime I see the Twins play I just fall more in love with them. Oh how I wish I lived closer to the Twin Cities so I could watch more of them.

[Brock Beauchamp]

When did the Tigers decide to start playing defense? I don’t like it. 

[Mike Sixel]

Two solid "hits", two outs. The fielders were shifted well....

I was thinking the same thing.  I'm listening to the radio, but it sounds like they've taken a couple of hits away already.

[wsnydes]

Urshela and Kepler probably wish they could play the Tigers even more than they already will.

They have, two obvious doubles down the lines. 

[wsnydes]

Yaaaay stranded RISP....

[CRF]

Who are the two announcers on the game? If they said their names, I missed it. All I've heard is the analyst is Carlos? In any case, I don't recognize either guy.

Good positioning and defense. Both of those should have been doubles. Sigh.

[Mike Sixel]

Huge jump. That's why caught stealing sucks as a measure of a catcher. Huge jump.

That is Carlos Pena.  I didn't catch who the other guy was either.

[shortround81]

Oh man! He looks safe on that last replay

[Brock Beauchamp]

He looks safe but the evidence is far from conclusive. 

[Mike Sixel]

I'd call him safe. 

[KirbyDome89]

He's safe. It's pretty clear

 

[IndianaTwin]

Sanchez needed to go to the base, rather than going after the runner. The runner has to come to the plate. It should have been an easy play. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

That’s what I expected. Not enough to overturn, though I think he was safe. 

[TouchEmAllGuy]

Runner looked safe to me too. Twins catch a break!

[Mike Sixel]

What is even the point of replay. That was pretty clear.

[KirbyDome89]

The way Detroit swings the bat that might've been their best chance to score this game....

[Drunk_Goose]

He was safe but obviously will take the out call. That's the definition of being aggressive on the base paths lol

[IndianaTwin]

I think it's Scott Braun with Carlos Pena. 

[jimbo92107]

Once again, Sanchez is the worst in the league at fielding bounced pitches. Lucky to get that out call. Not sure why they didn't overturn.

Agreed, if we're just gonna shrug and default to the call on the field then save us the 5 minute stoppage. 

[shortround81]

If I were an MLB ump calling the last game of my career, I'd pull the ol', "Oh, sorry. You're breaking up. Can't hear you. Ruling on the field stands. I made the right call." on any challenge
