    The name Minnesota is based on the Dakota Sioux word "Mnisota" (the native name for the Minnesota River) which means "cloudy water".

    This lineup just grinds. Gotta suck for a SP to have to try and nibble around them.

    When they're trying to decide whether or not to go to a computerized zone... somebody should bring up a tape of this game.

    Pisses me off that the ump called that after the previous pitch.

    Even worse that Altuve smokes that to a guy who didn't have to even love.

    We are getting Babip'd to death these last two games.

    Home plate umpiring in the mlb is embarrassing. Something has to be done. Inning should still be going on with the bases loaded.

    This ump is like a flee on the nutsack of society. He better give Fiers plenty of calls to make up for that ratf*ck of an inning.

    Time for the knockout punch.
    Can't believe they are allowing Gibson to stay in this game.

    In 2015, tonight's home plate umpire (Ted Barrett) ranked as the 15th worst umpire (out of 75 surveyed) in terms of calling plays on the field, based on the number of play calls overturned by replay. Of course, calling balls and strikes requires different judgments than making safe/out or fair/foul calls, but it does seem that his eye is not quite up to par relative to the rest of the umpiring corps.
