Let's hope

At least Julien didn’t hit into a DP.

I remember a game once, Twins v White Sox … Twins scored 9 in the 1st inning, Sox came back, went ahead. I think the Twins ended up winning by a ridiculous score, like 18-17 … but just goes to show, there’s a lot of game left beyond the 1st inning. We need to get some runs across, though

[JDBrocks]

Eddie with a rough game

Julien missed two center cut pitches. Damn.

I'm guessing that Verlander wasn't on the mound that day...

[Aggies7]

Sigh

[rwilfong86]

Inside but called strike 3

[CoastiePilot08]

That was a ball. Thanks ump!

[JDBrocks]

Holy bad call.

[glunn]

Was that really a strike?

Eddie is 1 for 2 with a double and a walk.

[Brock Beauchamp]

That wasn’t even ****ing close to being a strike.

Eddie missing middle middle pitches and running into an out while in scoring position 🤷‍♂️

[IndianaTwin]

Maldonado throws to second — almost like he thought that was a ball!

If that is going to be a strike for Verlander its game over.

No, but I think Buehrle was.

Nope. Inside on the batter. Should be easy to see too.

It was.

Because it was 😅

[CoastiePilot08]

All the traffic on Verlander but still getting shutout. Bummer. 

[mnfireman]

If the ump is now going to expand the zone for Verlander its game over... 

[glunn]

We need a double play here.

[rwilfong86]

I wish Wainwright would stop talking. 

[USAFChief]

Stop whining about the umpire.

Geez. 

[howeda7]

Ugh. Get Paddock up. 

[glunn]

I am wishing that Ober had stayed in.

He’s just awful. 

[Parfigliano]

The artistry of baseball is an umpire's ability to fat finger calls in a game.  I disagree Mr. Announcer man.
