What are Ramirez’s numbers against us? Ready for him to retire.

[Danchat]

Welp, Duran faced the top of the order and flopped. At least that runner got caught stealing so it's not a 2 run deficit, but now we gotta get a run on Clase...

lol no you were right. Danny Darwin apparently never played for the twins. 

[RickOShea]

What is with Ramirez looking at the ump and then pounding his chest?

Bobby Darwin ,  ? former twin

Charles, proponent of evolution. How one strike zone will pass on its survival traits to the next.

 

But i do like Bobby McFerrin (and the little song he wrote), if that helps

Don't know if are watching but he had three strikes to Ramirez but the count was 2-1.   This game could legit be 3-2 Twins if not for some bad calls.

This ump is absolute.horseshit.....the first 2 pitches to Ramirez were both strikes....should've been 0-2 instead of 2-0.  3rd pitch should've been strike 3.  He hits HR on next pitch.

Combined with ringing up Castro on a ball 12 inches outside....i don't know what else to say.

“José Ramírez is hitting .272 with 164 hits, 21 homers, 74 RBIs and 89 runs scored in 158 games versus the Twins in his career.”

Just obscene officiating in the eighth. Handed Cleveland the game. FOUR blown calls, all in Cleveland’s favor, the sole reviewable one overturned.

I also hope they score after he comes in, too.

[Aggies7]

This umpire should be ashamed of himself 

[h2oface]

Batters seem to make a lot of contact on Duran. Not like a couple years ago. Ramirez didn't get a pitch faster than 96. Homered on an 86 mph curve. 

[Goofé Dean]

Did I say “in the eighth”? How about the ninth, too? Just outrageous.

[cheeseheadgophfan]

Bad bad bad loss.

Ump literally cost us this game.  Correa got screwed too.

Duran throws 102......let's throw nothing but breaking balls.   Four straight.  Just an absolute joke.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh well.

We win some, we lose some.

They just seem to be coming in bunches.

[Aggies7]

I wonder if this will be one of those years where we play incredible for 20 games then worse than awful for another 20

[RickOShea]

Ramirez should at least learn how to speak English.

[cheeseheadgophfan]

There would be a league-wide investigation and the headline story on ESPN if a home plate ump screwed the Yankees like the Twins got screwed tonight. 

[USAFChief]

The collapse is in progress

True. But we did a great job screwing ourselves before the umpire got involved, too.

One pitch hit 100 today. That is it. One 100mph even.

Their all-star closer, used as a closer, not a set up guy, did his job. Our not all-star closer not used as a closer gave up a game winning homer on an 86 mph curve, and lost the game. The umpire didn't hit the homer, and I disdain poor umpires.

Baldelli is losing it. totally. Orkert had no business being in this game, and giving up the two runs, even if one of them he let score for his teammate, Woods. And our bats are back to begging for walks instead of protecting the plate with tow strikes. We all know you can't count on the umpires to get it right. You have to protect the plate until there is ABS.

Agreed.    FO, scouting department, Baldelli and coaching staff needs to be replaced.

He didn’t? The first THREE pitches to Ramirez in the ninth were strikes—two in the zone and third a whiff. That’s been an out since, what, 1870? But the umpire kept Ramirez at the plate.

No incompetent umpiring, no HR.

[SD happy]

Brutal strike/ball calls in 8th and 9th innings. Tough to take.

[Patzky]

When things are going badly the umpires can smell it. Nobody likes change ..

Home plate umpire Roberto Ortiz wanted to catch the second half of the pacers/knicks game. Allegedly
