Brewers (Patrick?) vs Twins (Ryan): 5/15/26, 6:10pm

Been a Twins fan since 1961! Except for the time when the Brewers were in the AL….. never ever thought of them as a rival more important than those in the AL Central?🤷‍♂️

Attebury just said what a great way for Clemons to upset your rival with a homerun! Gladden responded in a complete deadpan….. not sure Clemons has any sense of any rivalry between the Twins and the Brewers! Perfect response to the inane nonstop babbling from Attebury! 

I feel like he’s gotten a bit better. A bit

Yeah, that's accurate and crazy. He had 5 wins in his first 11 games pitched, and now 3 wins in his last 5 games pitched. Seems like he pitches in close games and then their offense always takes the lead right after he comes off the mound.

Created his own win here. I don’t think they should still reward wins for that

royce-    i would say we need the pitcher to throw it where he swings  ,  that last pitch was 3-4 feet outside and he trys to pull it

Lewis thinks he's trap shooting.  Pull.  Pull.  Pull.

Still takes him 500 words to explain something that would be so much better with 50 ….

I love it, it’s a total mismatch. You can tell DG doesn’t want to hear it most of the time

Damn…. when I saw DG…..first thing that came to mind…Dollar General? Seems like his grocery store. Riding up on his bike and grabbing a case for the ride home?

Stupid rule. So he should get at least one base, yeah what the hell go ahead and give him two! Let him go around to first! 

I prefer the NFHS definition of obstruction (runner impeded by a fielder not in possession of the ball and not making an initial play on a batted ball.  I prefer the OBR penalty.  

Differences:  This would not be obstruction because the runner was not impeded until well after Royce had the ball.   Another difference is if the throw takes the fielder into the path of the, that is not obstruction in OBR.  I prefer NFHS, which puts the onus on the defense to make a throw that doesn't cause a fielder to obstruct a runner.  

Now for the penalty - NFHS awards a minimum of one base for any obstruction.  OBR has Type I and Type II.  Type I is when the play is being made on the obstructed runner - minimum of one base.  (I'm OK with the award in last night's game, just not crazy about the rule calling that obstruction.) 

For type II, at the end of the playing action the umpire will "impose such penalties, if any, as in his judgment will nullify the act of obstruction."  Picture the batter rounding first on a base hit and tripping over the first baseman.  The cutoff man sees that and throws to first to get him.  Type II (not being played on when obstructed).  Award first.  (NFHS would award 2nd.)
