Bad challenge, doesn't look like it hit Cruz. What did the Twins staff see that we didn't?

It didn't hit him, did it?

No Sano, no Buxton and now no Donaldson.  We aren't even a week in and these guys already need a day off or is something else wrong?

Really weird challenge...

 

It didn't hit him, did it?

No. Absolutely baffling challenge here - every fan watching the broadcast at home on the couch could see he wasn't hit. And Cruz wasn't even lobbying for a challenge.

Donaldson was pulled - likely injured, we're waiting on the news.

Estupido

Aggressive baserunning cost him, but I don't know if I necessarily disagree with it.

I was right with Eddie going to 2nd... Dude played that ball perfectly

normally I wouldn’t but he was out by a mile

Buxton already needs a day off?    Starting to not be a fan of his anymore.  If he needs to be treated like the princess and the pea we might as well trade him but I who would want a part time super star?

No, I guess not ... the carem off teh wall was perfectly played

He essentially had no training camp. They said they were planning on bringing him along slowly while they still had expanded rosters

Randy Dobnak. Workman-like.

Cleveland ain't hittin' 'em where they ain't tonight.

Hasn't been real effective, but Dobnak has four scoreless thus far. Only threw 73 in his first start, at 70 right now. Have to imagine he is capped at around 90

I think Clevinger has to pee

Still no word on Donaldson?

This Avila guy is growing on me....

 

 

Still no word on Donaldson?

Nope.

Oh there it is: right calf tightness.

Right calf tightness.

This may be the best umpire I have seen...ever

I just tuned in.

 

I have to assume that Nick Swisher spiked Donaldson earlier?

C'mon Adtrianza!
 

It doesn't have to be the full torrential downpour, just some nice drizzle.

Oh there it is: right calf tightness.

Thats...not good.

 

Right calf is a long term problem for him.

This may be the best umpire I have seen...ever

I tuned in only briefly for the top of the first, then had to go out again, but I had a similar positive snap evaluation of his ball-strike calling. I like the audible call that gives the location when it's not a strike, but I also thought a couple of borderline calls were correct. Way too small a sample size, but there's just something about this guy. Don't know if I had heard of Jordan Baker before, but I plan to remember the name.

Oh well.

 

Forgive me if i post behind the times... Still haven't splurged on mlb and gameday is not exactly fast.

 

This may be the best umpire I have seen...ever

He missed one obvious strike from Dobnak, but otherwise he has been very consistent.

Dobnak has been a magician so far - not sure how much longer he's going to be able to get away with this stuff.
