Gameday Thread: Angels @ Twins 5/14/2019 (Rengifo 2B)

Goodwin has really been struggling, a week ago i'd be alot more comfortable with him at the plate.

[nando714]

why not challenge just to challenge??

[BackUpTheTruck]

Safe

[AngelsLakersFan]

There is absolutely no reason to not challenge that call right there. Absolutely none.

Has Ohtani gotten slower

[Chuck]

Doesn't hurt to challenge that, right?

That Gronkowski arm brace weighs like 30 pounds.

[Docwaukee]

did Shohei stop running hard?  kinda looked like it.  

[JAHV76]

Ouch it looks like the Twins catcher broke his foot blocking that play

Also, something something electronic K zone.

Can we get an electronic manager who is smart enough to challenge a close play at the plate that changes the course of the game?

I was thinking the same thing. He should’ve scored easily unless he didn’t take off on contact. 

[Docwaukee]

second replay looked like he was out.

I was wondering the exact same thing. When Buxton bobbled it, I expected Ohtani to be safe by 10 feet. 

[T.G.]

Darn it, Ausmus.

Fuckin Brad Asstomouth

He's only ran the bases like 5 times in like a year.

You could argue that the catcher wasn't giving him a lane either... I mean he did end up hurt on the play...

I will say, there's 0 chance that actually would have been overturned. He looked safe, but no way to prove it with the dirt over the plate.

Now the chance that another challenge op comes up is also slim, but higher than 0.

That's absurd

When it's this late in the game and it's the possible tying run, why not at least give New York more camera angles and go for it?

I think he’s had 2 base running blunders tonight. But Victor and Gubi won’t talk about it.

My other thought. Dumb not to challenge it. You never know the outcome. NY has way more camera angles than the tv crew shows us.

Just gotta get La Stella up in the 9th.

Radio guys are saying Ohtani is not a great base runner...
