GAME THREAD 6/30 TC vs BALT

[mrtwinsfan]

Julien, your letting to many hittable pitches go by  and then forced to swing at a ball ,  wake up

[IndianaTwin]

Batting average of .500 through four!

[ashbury]

w00t

[big dog]

Royce!

 

[stringer bell]

That bat died a hero. 

[IndianaTwin]

Batting average of .600 through five!

And a RISPy 1.000!

[stringer bell]

Strike 3 looked a foot outside. 

[big dog]

OK, Kepler "struck out". Let's have robo-umps, please. What a freaking joke some of these guys have become.

[RickOShea]

Wow, that call was so bad, it made it look like a fix!

The only problem with this post is that it isn't forceful enough. The HP ump absolutely jobbed Kep and the Twins. That call was a total piece of ****.

[mrtwinsfan]

Looked bad on the Radio even

[IndianaTwin]

Ugh. Back to .500.

It was.  5 inches outside strike 3.

[CRF]

At least 6 inches outside. My God!

Only because it WAS a foot outside.

I think the Twins will benefit greatly from the automated strike zone.

[IndianaTwin]

Mullins fresh off the IL after a groin injury. 

 

[Parfigliano]

Mind-numbingly lame Balt uniforms.

[mrtwinsfan]

Booze and other goodies will not be as popular, Who we gonna complain about ??

All of MLB will benefit greatly from the automated strike zone.

[Winston Smith]

Please lets not have another umpires hate the Twins tread tonight. Calls tend to even out they aren't two games under .500 because the umps are against them.

And all of us

[OvertheHill]

The sad thing is that the Twins carry such a strike out reputation it’s easy for the umps to call borderline pitches as strikes. I’m not defending it of course, but until the human factor is out of ball strike calls, we’re going to get hosed when our roster is filled with these types of hitters. Just my $0.02.

If only they were that good.

[Mike Sixel]

Can't recall if I've offered this opinion elsewhere on the site, but I'm beginning to doubt Kepler is good.

With that strike zone, nobody would be good.  

[wabene]

That call was ****, end of story. It's hard enough to hit without having to compensate for that bull. 

[ashbury]

GALLO!!!!

[RickOShea]

2 out of 3 so far. Let's wait and see if Buxton can contribute.

[MABB1959]

When will the rest of the All Star teams be announced?   Not many Twins deserve to go and they should be embarrassed to go.  I would guess Lewis, but has he played enough games?
