    In my view Trevino was where he was because he had to be there to field the throw. The ball and Arraez arrived at nearly the same time so I don't think obstruction could be called. I'll also add that it was a lazy call by the ump. He never saw a tag but he just assumed that if the catcher had the ball in his glove then the runner must be out.

    If so he can pitch all day and all of the night.

    These Menards ads tell us that normally you pay 11% too much when you buy anything there.

    This comment would have been especially apt when we played the πrates.

    Hmmm. No matter the exact wording of the rule, I disagree with this call because the runner had a clear path to the base. Regarding the rule requiring the batter-runner to be on the foul side of the foul line when approaching first base, I think it needs to be clarified. I also think it should be strengthened, with every batter-runner who is in fair territory past a certain point being called out whether interfering with the fielders or not. This will require some adjustment on the part of baserunners but, as with the rule change put into use around takeout slides at second base, if the rule is clear it shouldn't be difficult. BTW, on a slight tangent, I have sometimes heard people use the term obstruction instead of interference when a runner interferes with a fielder making a play on the ball. The correct terminology should be used.

    You'd give Astudillo at-bats over Sano? Really??

    Maybe it's because working Twins games reminds him that he is bad at umpiring. (I was going to post a link to you-know-which-call but we have all seen it anyway.)

    Why must things like this happen?
  9. Nine of twelve
    Yes. It's time to get the young-uns involved. Cave has been a satisfactory fourth outfielder but with Larnach and Rooker knocking at the door, with Kiriloff looking like he's here to stay, and with Arraez to fill in if need be Cave is superfluous. Let's see if we can get a Class A prospect for him.

    Excellent use of the reverse jinx.

    Another well-struck ball by Kep. Good sign.
  12. Nine of twelve
    POW!

    There's a saying, something about a bear and the woods.

    Nice!

    OK, but I will. I think it is wrong not to be vaccinated unless you have a documented medical reason not to be vaccinated.

    Positive test results have caused chaos in roster management and in scheduling and I think this issue is one of the biggest factors in the team's poor performance throughout much of April. I think this would have been avoided had there not been employees who failed to get vaccinated. Not being an expert in employment law I don't know if the Twins organization has the legal right to mandate vaccination for its employees (as is the case at my place of employment), but if that right exists and it was not implemented then whoever is (are) the team's health and safety officer(s) failed in their role.

    I was in the left field stands in the Dome for Steve Carlton's last major league game. I felt bad for him too, but when the end comes it cannot be stopped. I think it was worth it to take a flyer on Shoemaker but I think the end is near, if not here. I suppose we could give him one more start on a very short leash just in case, but if the results aren't there it's probably time to thank him for his hard work and wish him well in his future endeavors. Edit: And Colome is in a very similar position.

    There. He can hit.

    You can have watched thousands of baseball games and in the game you are currently watching still see something you have never seen before.
  22. Nine of twelve
    That could be true, but if it were me I'd rather have had the dinger.

  24. Nine of twelve
    That sounds like something I would do.

    Cripes. One well-hit ball in the inning and 3 runs score. Edit:ninja'd by bighat. Great minds think alike.
