    Tie game!
  2. LVTwinsfan
    That’s terrifying
  3. LVTwinsfan
    So is 6 game winning streak, coulda woulda shoulda
  4. LVTwinsfan
    4 game winning streak is the wrong answer
  5. LVTwinsfan
    Pretty sure that would work out to be one good AB per four games
  6. LVTwinsfan
    Umm, what?
  7. LVTwinsfan
    Yeah they do, they havent been great in this series
  8. LVTwinsfan
    I’ll be switching between games tonight
  9. LVTwinsfan
    I’m pretty sure the cost of insuring a Buxton contract will be extremely high
  10. LVTwinsfan
    That’s a good problem to have
  11. LVTwinsfan
    They check your receipt against what’s in your cart, that has nothing to do with what we were talking about
  12. LVTwinsfan
    It is sound, it’s what is right, and anything that violates people’s rights is unsound and you know that
  13. LVTwinsfan
    They can’t, that would be illegal
  14. LVTwinsfan
    There are many ideas I’m sure that do not involve violating the rights of the innocent
  15. LVTwinsfan
    Not all pitchers are cheating. I’m not defending those that do. If a store has a shoplifting problem they cannot search all their customers upon leaving the store to correct it. They have to work harder than that. Baseball has been lazy about this forever and they are being lazy now. Guilty until proven innocent is wrong in any situation.
  16. LVTwinsfan
    I don’t need a lesson on morality, but maybe those that think they are taking the moral high ground do. This is a joke
  17. LVTwinsfan
    If you want to address pitchers cheating that’s fine. But to hassle pitchers throughout the game is not the way to do it. And to allow opposing managers to ask umpires to make even more checks shouldn’t even be allowed. Personally I think they should band together and strike over this. This ridiculous spectacle is not good for the game and not what fans come to see. If Manfred can’t see that then he should just resign. Figure out a plan in the off season and implement it but this is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen. If this is Manfred trying, I would rather he do nothing. There’s going to be plenty of pushback and ejections over this and it’s going to get worse, not better. Pitchers should not cheat, neither should the Astros but what did they do to the players, absolutely nothing. This is all just wrong on so many levels. How many pitchers are going to drop their pants on the mound before they realize they made a mistake here.

    It’s kind of a flawed poll anyway. You still have almost 50% of Twins fans, just a few days after Buxton gets put on the IL after being hit by a pitch, saying no change. (hands you a lens wipe)
  19. LVTwinsfan
    Well the players should have some say, they are the ones being hit afterall
  20. LVTwinsfan
    No punishment is still the most popular option, but whatever
  21. LVTwinsfan
    Money talks, how about fines? Have a panel review the video and decide on the punishment, if any with a fine or suspension if the case warrants it. I’m against players just being thrown out of games, then managers get involved and they get thrown out. Umpires have too much power and many of them love to show it off.
  22. LVTwinsfan
    Umpires have total discretion to eject a pitcher if he hits a batter and deems it intentional. That’s a pretty strict rule given the fact that “intentional” is not always clear. I think we’re good here. I don’t see how more rules will make the game better. This whole pitcher inspections is a clown show.
  23. LVTwinsfan
    It’s all for nothing really anyway. No amount of rule changes will keep Buxton from getting hurt. Not counting last season, Buxton averages around 80 games a season, he’s an aggressive player, with a bit of bad luck. He gets hurt too much
  24. LVTwinsfan
    Whatever other option you would choose besides not increasing the penalty would be a minority opinion, unless you claim all the other options.. The second most popular was eject the pitcher after 2 HBP’s, around 28%. That’s a minority
  25. LVTwinsfan
    Well you’re in the minority here, I took the pole, 50% of the respondents say no increased penalties for pitchers, and I’m guessing mostly Twins fans, so it’s too bad for Buxton but that’s how it goes
