Game Thread: Twins (Gray) v Astros (France), 5/29/23 @ 3:10 CT

[RickOShea]

Baseball has its 2nd base extra inning rule.  Football has its non-sudden death overtime rule (1st possession) and hockey has its shoot out overtime rule.  What's basketball's problem?  Maybe pick 1 guy from each team to shoot free throws, until one outshoots the other.

It's the NBA...I think that's the problem.

I was being sarcastic.  I don't like all these overtime exceptions.

Tell the class how you really feel!

Been a while since I saw a plate ump pulling so hard for the home team. Reminds me of umps for the Yankees.

Somewhere somebody constructs charts of a game's worth of these and sees if at least it was balanced.  I look forward to someone posting that for this game.  IMO it will be scalding on this ump.

It wasn't meant as a compliment.

[Craig Arko]

Can Duran save his own win?

[cHawk]

Did Altuve forget his buzzer for that AB?

[Tlaker]

[ashbury]

[Mortimerkenny21]

[CRF]

Thanks Rocco...for letting Duran finish it! 

[rwilfong86]

Not the result I expected but I am so glad they won! Royce is a difference maker already

[Richie the Rally Goat]

[Squirrel]

Wow, I think I’ve found the trick to winning … tend to doing laundry at opportune moments!!!!!!

[Nine of twelve]

I don't know if I have enough asterisks for this win either. This could have been a very demoralizing loss but it became a very inspiring win.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Stole one that we were sure was going to end up a loss.

That'll work!!

[wsnydes]
