GAME THREAD: 8/4/20 Minnesota Twins vs. Pittsburgh Pirates 1:10 CDT

[Mill1634]

Redemption time Rosario

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Did we just chase Musgrove by not chasing his pitches?

[LaBombo]

There's the annoying music, and there's also a cardboard cutout in a hipster fedora who's distracting batters with an air horn and a mirror...

 

[Mill1634]

Eddie with 2 of the weakest RBI singles I have ever seen

[ashbury]

Don't like making the second out at home, but I can't really second guess the send. Polanco was running well and it took a perfect throw.

[BrianBuchanan]

Wow that was a fantastic throw to nail Polanco at the plate.

[TouchEmAllGuy]

EDDIE with a missile to shortstop!

 

Gets the RBI.

Pirates not exactly pitching to the shift on those ABs.

[Dman]

Nice to see Eddie beat the shift.  They will have to think about how they want to play him.

[bighat]

C'mon Sano, take a walk if they give it to you here buddy....

[amjgt]

Just when I stopped noticing the ump.... he's back!

[PDX Twin]

The Big Whiff does it again.

[LVTwinsfan]

Only four innings, the Twins are gonna miss their flight

[LaBombo]

On the plus side, Fox has increased the volume on the generic rock commercial outro's to help desensitize us to the in-game crap.

[Twins_Fan_For_Life]

The home plate umpires have struggled big time the last two games

I'll take "Things I thought I heard but must not have" for $100.

"they got the extra point but missed the TD."

[ashbury]

Do I recall correctly that when Murphy was acquired from New York, he was said to be a good pitch-framer? Showed it there on strike 3 to Sanó.

[MMMordabito]

I guess someone has to be the heir-apparent to Angel Hernandez.

Dick has a completely different (oblivious?) view of what Musgrove is upset about. The Pirates' announcers (unimpressive, for sure) are annoyed at he** because music is blaring between EVERY PITCH only when the Pirates are pitching. And they're absolutely right.

The Twins PA staff or whomever is in charge of this music really needs to get sat down and told to knock it the hell off. It was awful last year, it's been even more grating this year. It's like a room full of 12 year-olds are up there messing around. Glad Musgrove complained and glad the Pirates are saying something. 

 

This type of stuff belongs in a minor league park on Dubstep Night, not every day in an MLB stadium.

most Pittsburgh teams have the same colors(black and yellow) so I can understand the confusion

Mod con pics.

they also said he could hit.

Couldn't they have just set up a trust and donate the bad calls to minor league teams in need?

[Mill1634]

WTF. Game stopped for a drone?

[USAFChief]

man, these Pittsburgh announcers just drone on and on

[Vanimal46]

Drone delay? 2020 is wild.

[Don Walcott]

Here's why we need to sign Trevor Bauer. He'd knock that **** right out of the air.

[ScrapTheNickname]

Hate drones. Shoot it. Wasn't Dick just salivating over quail and pheasant? Eat the drone.
