  • So we've waited through four long years for the Twins to be playing meaningful September games.     All this waiting...Reminds me of my HS prom.   I wanted to rent a tux, so I went to the tux rental p

  • I'm ok with the swinging bunt call, but I think he should have had Escobar hit the ball another 355 feet, so, bad call.

  • It's been a long time since I was happy about the Twins in September.    Great thread.  Thanks all!

 

Well I think a lot of people come to the game threads just to hear your sharp analysis of the game and your very occasional off-topic comment that reflects some very thoughtful observation or advice, and would be disappointed if you left.

 

I can do that in one post.

 

Baseball is a funny game. On the other hand... Clowns are at their most funny when they pull a 30 foot scarf out of their mouth and look surprised it's that long and still coming out. I'd advise all Clowns to do that in their act. 

The thing is, over the course of a game, about 25-50 pitches (I'm guessing) are called strikes that aren't strikes and vice versa. Unless they go to a computerized umpiring system everyone has 20-20 hindsight and it must be tough to be an ump.

 

That really wasn't even a borderline call TBH

Looks like I picked a good moment to show up and watch a game. I'll echo the above sentiment hoping for a nice outing by Jep.

 

Balk, hahahaha!

 

It's type like a Pirate day and bionic sound effect day. 

Is your phone broken?

?

 

Joe takes a lot of flack, but his "we will see you tomorrow night" homage to his dad was pretty classy and awesome IMO

Well I absolutely hate Joe Buck.  So my opinion of that call may be a tad bit skewed.

Agreed. It really was terrible. It's one thing to miss calls that catch the edge. But FoxTracks had the entire circle over the plate.

I want to see Ted Cruz do that.

non grata for me as well

I used to dislike him a lot, but over the past few years I don't mind him as much, not having that jackass tim mcgarver next to him helps his case a lot.

 

He and Aikman make a pretty good duo for NFL as long as the Packers or cowboys aren't playing.

 

I think he meant Zeppelin's John Paul Jones.

Nothing will ever top Pavano's pitch to Berkman in the playoffs

 

It was in the most absolute center of the plate as you can get

 

Couple pitches later a go ahead homerun

If baseball was around when Plato, Socrates, or Confucius were alive -- I doubt if they could have captured  baseball and in life in general n such a wise and poetic manner.

ugh, I was at that game :(

Are we getting close to a topic length record for a game thread? At least for this season?

Maybe I should go to bed.

If he thinks it can get him a headline over Trump - he will be right on that.

Well tbh we must be getting pretty close to game LENGTH for this season.

Could be.

Trying out some new double ridged Buffalo wing and Blue Cheese Old Dutch..............so far, it's a meh, need to finish bag and another beer. Will report back later.

One word on snacks, all are better when dunked in chunky blue cheese dressing. True dat!
