Gotta like him getting tossed out of his very first game, though.
Proving once again that any MLB team can beat any other MLB team on any random day.
That was a well earned toss. The replay overturn was bogus, IMO.
And after the Tigers had already celebrated the walk off victory.

lots of angles shown where tag wasn't seen but 1 where maybe the catcher caught the runners sleave. That wouldn't be called conclusive IMO.
Yes, it did look bogus.
One of the angles I saw seemed to show that he got the tag on the sleeve/elbow area before the runner touched the plate. He might have beat the tag if his legs were extended, but they were bent inward and he slid over the plate shins-first. I think they got him.

How the fuck did I miss this?
Good weed I guess.

"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
Gabe Kapler reinforcing today that brains are not a requirement for field managers as he came out to give his pitcher a quick hook, but he had no one warming up in his bullpen. LOL!!!

The King of TalkSox has Spoken.
That's pretty bad even by MLB manager standards.

Holy fuck I'm a big Kapler fan. Lol.
How did everyone else in the dougout not notice this?
Brain farts all over the place.

Haha, the Twins were pissed with the bunt single to breakup a no hitter. Is everyone a cry baby now? No hitter are earned, not given. No hitter should go 'easy' for any reason. Don't want to get embarrassed by a bunt single... stop with the ridiculous over shifts. Teams are so soft today...
It's just gross that Bartolo Colon is still pitching.

I read about this. It wasn't a no-hitter at the time though, it was a one-hitter. Otherwise I agree 100%, the Twins had no right to be complaining because this backup catcher bunts against their heavy over shift. The Twins made themselves look like a bunch of whiny pussies on this one.
I hear you. I wonder if he's had any more injections.
Just heard about the Twins crying like babies. I can't understand it since it wasn't a no-hitter. But even if it was, the batter doesn't owe the pitcher a damn thing. It's his duty to his team to get on base by any legal means possible. How some baseball players don't seem to understand this is beyond me.
Priorities:
1. Yankees lose
2. Red Sox win
