Game Thread: Twins vs Yanks 6/5/24 6:05 PM

[TwinsCD]

As I said last night, a professional umpire should never miss a pitch on the inner edge of the plate.  On 3-0, the percentage of that pitch to Soto being called a strike even if it's a couple inches in is pretty high.

Or maybe not have Farmer and Margot on the roster?

Rpr could you expound on your thumb down? Spark a conversation please.

I kinda would like to see him do it. Maybe something like that would snap our guys out of their stupor.

I couldn’t agree less

I was at Yankee Stadium for David Wells’s perfect game.  That was kind of a thrill, but NO desire for another one! I’m planning to go to the Stadium for tomorrow’s game.  It’s supposed to rain….

Rocco needs to be a little like Boone here, the umpire is squeezing Paddack tighter and tighter and expanding the Yankees pitchers strike zone. Time to WTF the home plate umpire or this team go's limping into Pittsburgh not knowing what's a strike and what's a ball.

[Aggies7]

Pathetic 

[Aggies7]

Nice job by Castro to play that ball well 

[CRF]

As expected.

[Danchat]

I was tuning in on the radio, hearing that Paddack had "settled down" after giving up 4 runs in the first... and now there are bases loaded in the 4th inning. I also don't think I've heard radio announcers complain so much about a strike zone before.

[Aggies7]

Maybe rodon will get rusty sitting on the bench 

[Fornasiere-ite]

I stand corrected. 

[Longdistancetwins]

Listening of the radio.  No way I would watch, even if I wasn’t blacked out.

[David HK]

Yeeeesh, what a depressing check-in greeting me this morning.

I only wish it were unexpected. 🙄

[jkcarew]

I see the Guardians and Royals decided not to play today.

 

Smart.

Yeah a crappy strike zone is more noticeable when you're being no-hit.

[CRF]

Just a bit outside!

[Patzky]

Stanton taking second up 8-0 LMAO . Their piddling with the Twins.

[Aggies7]

It’s wild to watch a group of professional athletes be so intimidated by an opponent

Yeah, they’re having a good time clowning around and we won’t so much as brush anyone back.

Too bad Jeffers was catching.

[Patzky]

The post-Julien era is not going well.

[ChermesZ]

I dare say vanover is also intimidated.

[tony&rodney]

No worries because the Twins are done with the Yankees after tomorrow.

[Aggies7]

Castro promptly swings at a 51 footer

He can't get back to the dugout soon enough.

[Aggies7]

Rodon is really going to do it, isn’t he 

 

well thank the lord

[Patzky]

I hope Farmer bunts.

[Patzky]

Or that.

[OvertheHill]

Haha 

[Aggies7]

The good news is Duran will be well rested for the Pittsburgh series.
