    Here's one for the right field ball boy.
  2. Nine of twelve
    Yeah, but this year is way more not like any other year than any other year.
  3. Nine of twelve
    Their target demographic doesn't remember Cheers.

    I like my name better because this is not like any other year.
  5. Nine of twelve
    Not heads up defense.

    And he didn't even swing hard.

    Giolito looked like Oswaldo Arcia or Delmon Young on that one.

    Keep it going guys, we have to win these games. We have to get into the playoffs. We have to win the Golden Asterisk trophy. Or not. Whatever. But still play well. I like it when we play well.

    Molina did put the ball in his glove for the tag. Do a frame-by-frame as Molina approaches the runner off third base. The bright white ball is clearly visible in his throwing hand. There is a frame just before he tags the runner which shows his right hand near his glove and there is no ball in it. The transfer of the ball back to his throwing hand takes place with Molina's body obscuring the view of the camera.

    This season is unimportant. Do not make any trade for the purpose of winning this season. Do not make any trade that does not strengthen the organization. If you can fleece a team who wants to win this year take advantage of their stupidity.

    Geez, all the hand-wringing. As I said on yesterday's games thread, keep in mind that this is an exhibition regular season to determine who plays in the exhibition postseason, the winner of which will be awarded the Golden Asterisk trophy. What I am enjoying about this year's baseball is watching games played by good players. Who cares how the games turn out? It's just not a big deal. At all.

    Keep in mind this is just the exhibition regular season to see who qualifies for the exhibition tournament to win the Golden Asterisk trophy.

    Sano should bunt here. (JK)

    1.) I don't like rules that arbitrarily reduce the ability of the manager and players to strategize. Therefore I am not in favor of the 3-batter minimum. And for the same reason I am not in favor of the mound visit maximum either. 2.) I'm in favor of either universal DH or no DH. The biggest problem with DH being present in only one league is that visiting teams are at a greater than usual disadvantage in interleague games. Teams build their rosters based on one set of rules but have to play by different rules in those games. This is especially inequitable in the World Series. If forced to choose I'd opt for universal DH. 3.) This is fine for the 2020 season. It's just exhibition baseball anyway, so who cares? 4.) This is just silly. It doesn't shorten games because the two teams still have equal chances at scoring just as they would without this rule. It begs the question: if it's so good in extra innings why not do it in every inning? 5.) See 3. For 2021 I think the roster size should be 26 as was to have been the case this season. There should be no restriction on the number of pitchers a team carries. Let each team manage their roster as they see fit.

    Safe.

    Thank goodness for Google.

    Geez, Dick. I know you're just watching a screen like the rest of us, but you say "popped up" and the ball is caught on the warning track in center field. Of course a member of the opposing team hit it. Had it been a Twin there would have been a loud "deep to center field".
  18. Nine of twelve
    Not five minutes ago Dick pointed out that Alcala had not yet given up a run. Someone with his amount of baseball experience should know better than to utter such a blatant jinx.

    One good thing, and maybe the only good thing, is that they haven't had the bleeping drum mixed in. I would like to watch a game with no false noise of any kind just to see what it's like. This season is a unique opportunity for this which may never again present itself. Can't that be done just once? Please???
  20. Nine of twelve
    If the Twins win tonight I will be a happy clam.
  21. Nine of twelve
    I have never understood this saying. Clams do not even have a brain so they can't be happy.
  22. Nine of twelve
    Yes and no. Gonzalez is not the (caudal terminus of the GI tract) that Pete Rose was but he should have forced the throw to Bieber just in case it got dropped.
  23. Nine of twelve
    These four words make this the best game thread intro of 2020.
  24. Nine of twelve
    Can we successfully coopt this from the Skankee fans? If not we have to come up with something else.
  25. Nine of twelve
    Just tuned in. We are seeing a Bieber blip. Gotta get to him now, and quickly before he gets back to being the best pitcher in the world again. Like that!
