Home plate Ump should be suspended over this game. As aggressively as he went after Rocco prior to his ejection and then multiple calls outside the zone after he badly missed the Taylor call that appear to be nothing but vindictiveness on Kirrilloff. He was clearly calling anything anywhere near in that last at-bat. 

No worries, if he’s a good umpire, he’ll do some make up calls later on

(sarcasm, mostly)

I just do not trust Moran.

[rwilfong86]

Ball 4 not even close. Hope someone else is up in the bullpen 

[rwilfong86]

Moran is so up and down. 

[OvertheHill]

Bad feeling about Schoop

I am beyond sick and tired of seeing human home plate umpires call pitches incorrectly. It's disgusting, plain and simple, when there are superior systems available.

Its dumb.  Its also an invitation to mess with which teams make/win playoffs.  Also presents daily opportunities for shady gambling outcomes.

They have the remedy but keep their head in the sand and ignore the problem.

[USAFChief]

It's damn near impossible to walk Javier Baez

[rwilfong86]

Looks like Tingler is quick to make a move

Agreed but if you are going to get tossed.

Get your money's worth. At least turn your hat backwards. 

Davey Martinez got tossed this week and then laid on ground to show up where he called it. Now THAT's getting your money worth.

Men at second and third with no outs and they can't bring em home.  Have to say, I couldn't think of a better visual as to why the Twins are a sub-par team.  They'll be lucky to win 75 games this year.  Ho hum....

Happens to AK repeatedly.  Probably lost 5-6 walks because of it.

Man down! 

[CRF]

We're trying real hard to let the Tigers claw their way back into this thing.

Absolutely. He gets the brunt of those retaliation bad calls I think.

Same here

[Brock Beauchamp]

Was watching the Brewers. Did Rocco get his ass booted again?

[IndyTwinsFan]

I'm not liking this situation at all.

[OvertheHill]

No Stewart magic tonight?

And we're succeeding.  Unfortunately.

What's with the rosin witch hunt on Twins pitchers? 

[wabene]

Yeah baby!!

 

[NotAboutWinning]

Thank goodness for aging sluggers!

[OvertheHill]

I’ll take it! 

[Brock Beauchamp]

The ghost of Miggy bails out the Twins. 

[IndyTwinsFan]

Whew!!!

Thought he did fine,

Twins get a break that the batter was the ghost of Miguel Cabrera.
