Some stadium worker turned the fans on

I'm not surprised that Murphy got thrown out after watching Murhy's last at bat. But Murphy wasn't wrong, it was definitely a strike. I'm just not sure if the umpire is calling a bad game or if that was personal. Either way, Berrios is paying the price, which isn't right.

Chewbacca, I would assume

That's, like, some kinda Wookie, then?

I like that Murphy stuck up for the kid. He's been watching the strike zone all night and the inconsistent calls. 

 

Berrios is trying to build confidence and the ump is trying to take it away from him. 

 

You never want to get tossed but that was a good attitude display and I'm pulling him out of my doghouse and I'm going to let him come inside and watch the game with me. 

Jerry Layne's list of most important people in the history of baseball, according to Jerry Layne:

 

3. Babe Ruth

2. Jackie Robinson

Think it's a Star Trek character....

Uh-oh. Big uh-oh.

Get the gear on, joe!

What. If. Mauer. Catches.?.

Ok that could be an issue with Suzuki.

 

On the other hand... Polanco might get a chance to play. 

 

As Catcher but it's a chance. 

Insurance!

His helmet stayed on

They'd better get rid of that hill in the middle of the infield before someone breaks a leg.

I hope Nunez gets to play somewhere when Plouffe comes back. 

 

Catcher maybe? 

Is Javier Valentin available?

OK, that was a productive out by Santana there-  it produced one hellofa chuckle watching Valbuena's pratfall.      

Now Morris onto pitchers not catching pop ups. This guy is gold, Jerry! Gold!

Murphy has class. He was the one who chewed out the pimp named Carlos Gomez last year during the Yankees - Stros series.

Maybe the Twins can work out a trade for the Astros' backup catcher.

Say what you want about Suzuki.

 

I never will

 

He's tough as nails and he has earned my respect. 

Late to the Game Thread.  What the heck did Murphy say????

Suzuki's taking a handful of pain killers. Get ready for a AAA call-up....

You know, like, when you think about it, kinda everyone's a catcher, man.

Late to the Game Threat.

 

Threat? Already? Our bullpen hasn't gotten into the game yet!

Gotta keep them off the bases so Zuke doesn't have to try to make any throws.

Far out, man...  I caught your meaning, dude, like totally....

 

 

I hope Nunez gets to play somewhere when Plouffe comes back. 

 

Catcher maybe? 

Well, there's probably an opening     lol

What the umpire didn't want to hear.

what happened to Suzuki? did he take a foul off his shin or something?
