2009 ALDS: Twins @ Yankees

[Dipre]

Oh wow.

[Optimist]

HUGE BREAK FOR THE YANKEES. Make it pay off.

[yankees228]

Can't ever complain about the Umps again.

[ORS]

You've got to be kidding me. That ball was fair....twice.

[Cocos Disciples]

What was the call?

[example1]

Amazing. What a horrible, horrible call.

 

What the hell is there an outfield umpire for if he misses that call. That was an AWFUL AWFUL blown call. A couble with nobody out? Instead he gets a single.

[Optimist]

What was the call?

 

Fair ground rule double was ruled foul. It was fair by at least a foot or two, looked pretty apparent on TV.

[example1]

Perhaps I should summon Mantracker to track down that umpire...

[Optimist]

Marte is going to make up for the umps mistake.

[ORS]

What was the call?

Mauer hit the ball down the 3B line, Melky comes over trying to field it, it nicks his glove while he's in fair territory, then lands like 2' inside the line. Ump called it foul. Would have been a GR double.

[example1]

Marte is going to make up for the umps mistake.

 

That hit may have scored a run, or it would be 1 and 3rd... 0 out.

[yankees228]

Marte is horrible. The Yankees had their chance to win this game.

[Dipre]

KUBEL GOT A HIT AGAINST A LEFTY!!!!!! THE SKY IS FALLING!!!!!

[Optimist]

A foot or two? Don't they have extra umps on the baselines? How could they miss that?

 

No idea...the ump was right there. Has to be one of the worst calls since Jeffrey Maeir.

[example1]

The Yankees will still win this game.

[ORS]

Don't ask me, the guy who called it was as close as the 1B ump is for a play at 1B.

JFC. The Twins would have the lead if the call was correct. Officiating has been awful just in the first three days of the postseason.

Funny how that happens.

Did they pick the umps with the worst eyesight to do all of the playoff series?

[yankees228]

What's funny is that, in the past, the Yankees' have won the games when an ump made an awful call (Richie Garcia and Tim Tschida). Tonight might be a different story.

[yankees228]

I wonder if Cuddyer bunts...

[a700hitter]

Whatever the wrong decision is, Shitenhire will make it.

[Cocos Disciples]

What's funny is that' date=' in the past, the Yankees' have won the games when an ump made an awful call ([b']Richie Garcia and Tim Tschida[/b]). Tonight might be a different story.

 

Maier and Offerman/Knoblauch, respectively?

[yankees228]

Maier and Offerman/Knoblauch' date=' respectively?[/quote']

 

Yup.

[Optimist]

I hope Gardner was watching that.

[Optimist]

I have a bad feeling the Twins still score here.

[ORS]

There are 90 degrees of fair territory. What is the likelihood that two consecutive hitters hit the ball to the same fielder so directly that he doesn't have to step in either direction to field the ball?

 

EDIT: With the IF in?

[Cocos Disciples]

Predictable. The Twins suck.

[example1]

Horrible call by the ump. As if 3x the salary wasn't enough, they had to miss balls that were 6 inches fair too.
