[Slap Shot]

Here hold my be- ah fuck it.

[RubeTube]

I was wondering if this was still going on.

[RubeTube]

Man, I truly wish the Pohlads would've spent like the Astros and the Nationals at the trade deadline.
Instead the Pohlads basically told the team, "We don't believe in you" by doing nothing.
It's hard being a player when your owner proves to you he doesn't believe in you.

This. So. This.

[Hornets]

Not ONE comment about game 6? Good grief....what has happened to RC? Nationals hangin in there after 4 innings, 2-1

[Dan33185]

former Twin Chip Hale is now acting manager after Davey Martinez gets thrown out.

[Hornets]

Pressly's knee has to be bothering him. Guy normally throws upper 90's and now is around 93, 94.

That call wasn’t bad at all.

I think it could have either way, and either way one team probably had a legitimate gripe. Probably best to leave it as called on the field, and it ended up not mattering anyways.

[Hummdrum]

The interference call at first base seems ridiculous to me. It was a judgement call which is not reviewable.
How does the runner know when (or if) a glove with a ball is going to be stuck in front of him when he isn't looking. All he is doing is running full blast to first. A bad call.
I was so happy when the Nationals soon hit that big homerun.

[boxter432]

the call was BRUTAL. glad Rendon made it irrelevant.

Twns need to magically get Juan Soto on the team, I mean it's too perfect...MINNESOTO.

The runner is only protected if he's in the running lane, which is the three foot box to the right of the foul line. If he has a foot outside that box and he interferes with a throw, it's interference, the ball is dead, he's out, and all the runners have to go back where they started. I'm not sure why this is such a controversial call. He can't run where he was running and not be called out if he affects the throw or the catch. If the throw was more towards 2nd base and Turner's position didn't affect the ability to catch the ball, it's a no-call. Since he was out of the box and his position DID make a difference, he's out. If he had been in the running lane and his positioning would have affected the throw, it's a no-call. He's protected there.

Unpopular call, but the right one.

They did review it though, and upheld it.

astros are going to find out if they hit the jackpot on that greinke trade. scherzer's got the okay for washington. game seven tonight!

correct.

Thrilling series. One of the better ones in numerous years, and barely anyone is watching.

[salamander]

Jim Pohlad and Co. don't give a shit about MN Twins fans. 2019 proves that.

Scherzer struggling here.....gotta pull him sooner than later if this keeps up.

[Hornets]

Whew...Scherzer gets out of the 2nd givin up only 1

[Dan33185]

Looks like A.J. Hinch feels the need to over manage and is gonna pull Grienke, makes zero sense to me.

[Hornets]

Rendon with a BOMBA and it is 2-1 Stroh's!

[Hornets]

HOLY SMOKES! Kendrick with a 2 run bomba and the Nats have gone ahead 3-2! WOWZA!

[Tommy_Hawk]

OHHH MY GOD...

Sano-esque Right-Fielding on display there.



What a dipshit.

OH MY GOD

Sens keep fucking doing it!

[boxter432]

sad that it happen to Osuna

jk GFY osuna

[Hornets]

HOLEY MOLEY, Nats look like they are gonna win this! To bad Dozier couldn't have played a bigger part....

with the Stros not having even one left handed pitcher, he pretty much had no chance to get much action as a PH

[Dan33185]

This ump has been awful behind the plate

MLB needs to market their talent better.

Most people couldn't tell you a player on either team.

That goes for most baseball teams anymore.

The average person doesn't even know the top players on the Yankees even.

Agree with the premise of your statement. They definitely need to market their top players more.

But to say most people couldn't tell you a player from either team is a huge stretch...anyone who pays attention to baseball knows who Verlander, Greinke, Altuve, Correa, Strasburg, Scherzer...etc...etc... are. And for the Yankees, people definitely know who Aaron Judge is.
