Radio guys trying to figure out why Kepler didn’t score, Gladden saw that Kepler was looking in the outfield, but radio guys didn’t have that missing piece that you saw.

TV guys did not mention it. And they excuse everything.

How do you miss the bag anyway?

Looked like he hit the base. He didn't react like he missed it either.

Interesting. I’m only listening. Knowing Kepler, he probably just didn’t feel like running another 90 feet.

Please make him stop!

I'm enjoying Plouffe and Morneau in the booth, especially Plouffie.

And then he let Gallo hit. I guess Taylor would have gotten to face 100 from a righty if made the move.

[RpR]

Acrobatic catch.

[USAFChief]

Those first base coaching box lines can be tricky to navigate.

“ill-fated Mahle” i kind of like.

It has that old school ring to it, like, Hey everyone, remember Terry “Ill-Fated” Baker, who played for the St. Louis Browns in 1916 and is the only player to die from being hit by an asteroid? 

I'll have to dig out my National Lampoon collection.  They had a feature one time with a whole lot of guys like Baker.

I mean, he's way Ober on the innings pitched line after the first.

[jkcarew]

Officially best start since the break…who wouldda thunk it after the first.

2 outs and being waved home

 

eh i think I’ll put on the brakes

LF had the ball before Kepler got to 3rd and the ball was to the cut off man in front of him, no way he scores there...

He should score there 100 times out of 100.

I know I had the Ober under.

Watched it again, my bad. He pulled up while Watkins was waving him home. Kep's head must still be in Paris....

You know Kepler?  Can you get him to autograph a jersey for me?  A piece of paper, anyway?

He should go 100 times out of 100, he was being waved emphatically.

I can't give him 100% scoring with his sure footedness lately.

[IaBeanCounter]

Didn't think Ober would have A quality start in the first.  The Twins MVP through 6 is Seattle 3rd base coach.  If he doesn't send those 2 runners Ober probably doesn't  make it out of the 1st inning.

Absolutely not. Kepler was already at 3rd when the left fielder came up with it. He has to score on that play

[Aggies7]

Lol wild replay call

[Schmoeman5]

Why have replay? That was a complete olay

[USAFChief]

I guess I don't understand the point of replay.

[USAFChief]

Cole Sands?

No tag.  Safe.

To make it look like they care to get the call right.  Even though they don't. 

[stringer bell]

On the Kepler play, he took an odd step rounding the bag. I don't know exactly what happened.
