Twins (Lopez) vs Cubs (Imanaga): 8/6/24, 7:05pm

[Aggies7]

Our baserunner holding skills are stinkaroo 

[TwinsCD]

If it's interference, why is the batter still at the plate??

[thelanges5]

Boston leading 6-3 top of the 7th. 

[Aggies7]

Phil cuzzi, that son of a 

[USAFChief]

Hey Randy. This guy might be running. 

[Aggies7]

Randy, the guy stole two in a row off you. How about a toss over

Gotta hand it to Rocco.  Get within 3, anything could happen but you send Dobnak back out there.

[Vanimal46]

This outing for Dobnak screams DFA tomorrow. 

[Aggies7]

The Dobber was that close to having a decent outing 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

You can do it, Mr. Dobnak!

I take it as a cry for help. 

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Henriquez up? Dobber out?

[thelanges5]

Got that ERA under 10 now

[TwinsCD]

I'm gonna need an explanation on why we send the runner back to 1st because the batter made contact with the catcher yet the batter is allowed to continue his turn at-bat.  If you're calling interference there, the inning is over.

Dauber down**

So, does Dobnak come out for the bottom of the 9th?

I know I watched Willi Castro almost single handedly lose back to back games against the Yankees with a plethora of boneheaded moves and he never so much as missed an at bat

I think even you'd admit there isn't any evidence any of this matters to the manager. Or at least no evidence of any consequences. 

You are both proving my point. You are confirming that the only thing we know is that we can't see what would be your preferred "accountability".  That is not the absence of accountability.

Topa should be back very soon too. 

[thelanges5]

Dobbers down Topa up on Friday. Varland the 27th man for the double header.

Come on.

This isn't honest argument.

I had to look it up, I was thinking the same thing.  There is a different rule or exception for backswing interference, if judged to be unintentional, is a stoppage, strike called and all runners return. No outs given.

It's not an argument at all.

It's basic common sense.

Except there’s an accepted norm in the game that if you make enough mental mistakes, you don’t get to play the game for a spell. 
 

Now, Willi got a “talking to” after that Yankees series. And the team still has more brain farts than I see our opponents have.

Maybe time for a new tactic then?

Me too.

Through gritted teeth.

Hope we can plate many runs before we get an out.

What’s common sense? Our team is more often disciplined and sloppy than they should be?

[thelanges5]

Pitching was bad and I guess it’s really hard to win with only 3 hits. 

[gregens]

That sure didn't start or end well.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh well. On with my life.

 

Thanks for the company.
