Cards (Fedde) v Twins (Zebby) @ 1:10pm CT, 8/25

When I was in the dairy section while shopping yesterday, I thought to myself, “If the world didn’t have margarine, it would be a butter place.”

Why did we trade a good prospect for margot 

Noah Miller sucks and even the Dodgers couldn't fix him this year. But still, a bucket of balls is too much for Margot.

Couldn't he get a win if the Twins score this half inning?

He could have.

Apparently you can catch foul balls when your foot is on the steps inside the dugout?

Zebby deserved a better fate. Bats need to wake up. Fedde isn't fooling anyone.

We couldn't get to him in Chicago either.

TC sweeping Atlanta would be golden.  3 TC wins and helps my NYM in wildcard.

The Twins do not sweep. If they take the first 2 they will let the foot off the gas in the third game and settle for a series win.

Detroit ties it up in the White Sox drive for 100.

You can definitely catch it.  The question is should it count as an out?

It was definitely questionable, I don't know how the broadcast didn't mention it at all.

[TwinsCD]

DJ Reyburn is just guessing back there.

They dont know?

The top of the strike zone is not at the hitter's belt as depicted by the white box displayed on the TV screen. Any guesses why they don't display a more accurate visual for the fans?

[exeoud]

I've always had the opinion that umps would call a much better game calling pitches from behind the mound. They're completely guessing on pitches that are low or that they're set up away from.

Only need one foot in play when making a catch near dugout/stands.  But that also includes diving into the stands, dugout for it.  Burleson was legal there.

Don’t understand the Fedde domination. Come on Twins, in game adjustments?

[exeoud]

Miranda been pretty awful since his hit streak.

Yet its a line that umps (some more then others) seem to subconsciously use as the dividing line between ball-strike.  This despite their ability to see the line depicted on TV.

The Twins bats can be really frustrating at times. This is one of them.

Like the Vikes I dont think TC does in game adjustments.

If the Twins are not good at making in game adjustments I don't think we're allowed to say who's bailiwick that would fall under.

Goodness, did we need the 5-minute version of God Bless America?

Actually, neither foot needs to be in play. He could have, for example, been airborn.

However, if one or both feet were grounded inside the dugout--out of play--it's not a legal catch. Same for any out of play area. An outfielder, for example, cab leap at the wall and make a catch over the wall. However, he can't plant a body part (hand, foot) out of play and then make the catch.

In this case I think it was a legal catch.

Rookie throws 5 inning 1 run ball.  1st BP guys puts up 2 shutout innings.  This is the type game that playoff teams find a way to win.

Yes, hence why I put the part about diving in there.  =)
