Pressley seems intent on giving up the lead ASAP. 

[Aggies7]

You rarely see a MLB hitter bail on a curve like that

[DocBauer]

Good pitch! Nasty!

[Riverbrian]

 

Are you counting states that you just traveled into one of its airports? I once was in the Denver airport, but I certainly wouldn’t say I’ve been to colorado

 

If you looked out one of the Windows... it counts.

Checked profile - "small town SD" = I don't know it. Born in St. Paul, lots of family in the Twin Cities, but never been to ND or SD. I've been to every other state except AK and HI.  

That's kinda funny but I guess there's little reason to go to SD (other than the Black Hills) and literally no reason to ever step foot in North Dakota.

 

I'm missing the north corners: Washington, Oregon, Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island.

 

Also Alaska.

 

So... I guess I've been in 41 states.

Garver is intent on figuring into the outcome of every single game he catches in, isn’t he? My god

I appreciate the backhanded compliment (SD is definitely the better Dakota @RiverBrian)

"So, what you do here to beat Trout is give him first base."

[Aggies7]

Rookie

My list is much smaller. PA, NY, NJ, Mass, CT, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, NC, SC, GA, FL, Ohio, Colorado (airport), IL (airport), Nevada (airport), California

You've never been to Minnesota? 

[BoofBonser]

That's actually infuriating... those last 3 pitches should all be called strikes the way he's been calling the game 

[DocBauer]

Feeling a Scooby Doo moment

[Aggies7]

You've never been to Minnesota?

 

Never

[OTPS300]

Torii is beginning to get on my nerves.

[Riverbrian]

Automate the Strike Zone please. 

[Aggies7]

This would be monumentally easier if we would score more than one inning per game

[DocBauer]

That's actually infuriating... those last 3 pitches should all be called strikes the way he's been calling the game

Actually hard to believe at least ONE of those pitches wasn't a strike

[Aggies7]

Yup

[Riverbrian]

 

Never

 

Well... Fly into the MSP Airport... Look out the window. 

[BoofBonser]

Hanging slider... mommy could have hit that one

[Brock Beauchamp]

Yuck.

[TheLeviathan]

MLB.com seems to think Pressley is getting screwed....this thread seems to verify that huh?

[Brock Beauchamp]

Mike Trout is just a really, really, really ****ing good baseball player.

[Brock Beauchamp]

It hasn't been awesome, for sure.

Idaho was a drive-through (twice), but it's a long drive, so I count it.  I've lived in CT, MS, TX, NM, and OK, and we have family in GA and FL. Families with six kids don't fly much (unless the AF is paying the bill), but we traveled a lot. 

[BoofBonser]

The bad news: We blew the lead
The good news: 2-3-4 coming up, all due for a hit

Meh, he sort of screwed himself here, IMO
