This is why it's better to listen to Cory and Dazzle...if you can. 

But they are 2-3 pitches behind the TV picture.

Yeah :( I'm back with the TV listening to how the Twins are obviously stealing pitches because no-one's swinging at Gaussman's ****** splitters into the ground

[RickOShea]

I'm reading about a dead  horse still grazing.

[Hawkeye Bean Counter]

Rookies killing it this game so far.  Really making Guasman work for it.

I'm not sure he's wrong. And really I don't care, whether the hitters are doing well or a member of the staff figured it out, Gold Star for the Twins.

I hope they are stealing pitches.  It's perfectly legal and part of the game as long as they're not using electronic equipment to gather information.

[Battle ur tail off]

Taylor already having an impact. 

[Mortimerkenny21]

Make them pay for these walks! Let's haunt the Jays!

 

[Hawkeye Bean Counter]

If we get a big hit here,  takes a lot of pressure off on this game.  Come on guys.

I'd love it if they're hearing pitches because the pitchcoms are turned up to 11

[Beast]

Taking fantastic ABs to start this series.  With the exception of Polanco and Correas ABs, looked in control.

[nicksaviking]

Man, I don't want to give him credit, but I think A-Rod nailed it. The Twins are ONLY swinging at the fastball, and they are hitting it well.

ARod in one half inning insinuated the Twins are cheating because they’re seeing Gausman so we’ll and mentioned getting another “cheap run”

 

just incredible 

Exhibit #267432 why Arod is an Ahole

[Beast]

Absolutely awful call.  

[rwilfong86]

Horrible strike 3 call. 

[wavedog]

C'Mon ump - that was inside

[Battle ur tail off]

Come on refs!

[Azviking101]

What a time for a BS call. 

[SteveLV]

Yet again, Julien hosed by a bad call by the home plate ump.  Sheesh, I hope he gets more respect as he advances in his career.

Agreed. Can't imagine caring what an announcer says at all. 

[Battle ur tail off]

Without that bad call it's now 3-0.

 

 

[Beast]

Gausman bailed out by an absolute gift.

As A Rod would say, I don’t want to be a conspiracy theory, but the Twins never get those calls in the playoffs.

[RickOShea]

Darn, it seems every time I look up and see Twins on base, there are 2 outs.

[Aggies7]

Absolutely hosed on the julien AB. Changed the whole inning 

[ashbury]

With sons Crashbury and Bashbury.

[SteveLV]

That horse-bleep call on Julien costs us a run on a Sac Fly and potentially huge inning.  Man, bring on the Robo Umps.

If he's tipping and the Twins have picked up on it it seems like they've known it for at least a year and Gausman and the Jays haven't figured it out.

That's a credit to the Twins coaches/scouts/players.

[Linus]

I hate that Julien takes marginal pitches with runners on base but that wasn’t marginal. That was complete horsebleep by the ump. 

[nicksaviking]

That strike three was a crap call, but I'm not going to assume the next at bat would have automatically resulted in the same pitches and swings to produce a sac fly to score a run.
