May 22, 20188 yr Great catch!!! Do they give game balls in baseball like in football? He won this game!
May 22, 20188 yr The Grossman tag was a horrible baserunning decision. He was already in scoring position, in a tie game, and the fly ball was out two. Grossman runs like a man dragging a plow. There is some advantage to being on third with 2 out vs on second, but not much. If the throw was on line, he's out by 3 steps. Rosario's gamble paid off in a run, with 2 out, and Adrianza due up. I don't think the throw gets him even if it's on line.Nope. Great running. Perfect time to take a chance and now players will be forced to respect the aggressiveness. Could force errors in future
May 22, 20188 yr Would you still agree if he were out by 6 steps after a decent, not great throw?Like I said, Rosario caused the bad throw. Your scenario didn't happen and it was because of Rosario's play.
May 22, 20188 yr Would you still agree if he were out by 6 steps after a decent, not great throw?If he starts for home, and sees the CFer recover and get off a decent throw to the plate, he has time to go back to third.
May 22, 20188 yr Would you still agree if he were out by 6 steps after a decent, not great throw? The game situation made it a good risk to take.
May 22, 20188 yr Jeepers cats everyone let’s not quibble about the details. We haven’t won enough for that
May 22, 20188 yr Didn't see the whole game, to be fair, but the last 3 innings were filled with great pitching, patience, hustle, and some great defensive plays. We should all be smiling!
May 22, 20188 yr Author Hicks is more of a first baseman than catcher these days, he's only caught 7 times this year. That still counts. He can put the tools of ignorance on so it's the Gardy 3 Catcher Special.
May 22, 20188 yr Also...in 4 at-bats tonight, Sano hit 3 balls to the right side, and 1 up the middle. Two were struck well. We can only hope he is consciously trying to make some adjustments. (He DH’d)
May 22, 20188 yr Author 15 pages to catch up on. I stopped at page two and decided to work backwards instead.
May 22, 20188 yr I don't love to see that it was so hard for us to hit Blaine Hardy, a spot starter, until the 5th inning, but I do like to see the Twins capitalize on a bad bullpen. Berríos was great once again. Rosario was the player of the game. The lineup is still a quagmire without Mauer and Sanó, however.
May 22, 20188 yr Love Rosario. Let Eddie be Eddie.Leave Eddie alone! Edited May 22, 20188 yr by Aggies7
May 22, 20188 yr 15 pages to catch up on. I stopped at page two and decided to work backwards instead. How I live my life sometimes. You spying on me? Lol
May 22, 20188 yr Author Would you still agree if he were out by 6 steps after a decent, not great throw? I made it home in time to watch that play. If he would have been out... I would've said it was a bonehead move. He wasn't out... so I'm saying it was genius base running and I'll high five him.
May 22, 20188 yr Author Oh crap, hate they just showed Lynn starts tomorrow. You gotta believe Doc... You gotta believe... He can lower that ERA and it starts tomorrow.
May 22, 20188 yr I think Bremer got it right when he said that Rosario is one of the most interesting guys on the team.Eddie Roasario, he doesn’t always make good decisions, but he always makes the game exciting. Stay thirsty, my friends
May 22, 20188 yr 15 pages to catch up on. I stopped at page two and decided to work backwards instead. Thumbnail sketch: Berrios gave up two runs early, there was much growsing in the comments over the inability of the Twins to hit another lefty who throws softer than Bartolo Colon. Berrios puts up zeroes, Twins chase the lefty starter, huzzah and then win it on a walk, daring baserunning play by Rosario who capped off his night by snagging a hot line drive against the left field wall. There was much rejoicing and some "what the heck was that that Rosario did" after the win.
May 22, 20188 yr You gotta believe Doc... You gotta believe... He can lower that ERA and it starts tomorrow. I'm an optimist at heart, so I always have to believe. Unfortunately, wouldn't take much to have faith rewarded. 3 runs in 5 IP. (Shudder)
May 22, 20188 yr You gotta believe Doc... You gotta believe... He can lower that ERA and it starts tomorrow. But the problem is he can lower his ERA by giving up 4 runs in 6 innings... it's not hard to lower a 7.47 ERA.
May 22, 20188 yr Author I just watched the replay on the Kepler play at the plate. He may have been out but I have no idea how they reverse that. That was flipping close.
May 22, 20188 yr Author But the problem is he can lower his ERA by giving up 4 runs in 6 innings... it's not hard to lower a 7.47 ERA. And I think he can do it!!!
