I am wondering if the Twins might break some record today in terms of fewest runs scored compared with total men on base.

Roy Smalley is harping about Plouffe going after high fastballs. He is absolutely right!

Shocking, Santiago muffs another dying quail.

Yup. Ploufey seems to me to have a good eye inside/outside, but struggles with up/down. Still and all, as of today he has a higher ISO than Spansie.

I wouldn't be surprised if all they get is three runs. This has been one wierd game.

Dozier is 3 for 3 so far today...looks like Gardy's office visit hit home with him.

I agree- too good an athlete, but that inability to tag out Mastro was Biggest Loser-chuckle-worthy champ if not for Fielder's missed tag(s) at first.

I was thinking the same thing. That's worthy of a Joe Soucheray- "In my lifetime"- predictions.

Extra base hit...what the hell is that.

Can they do that, is it legal?

This game is getting too close -- Twins need to get to the Tigers' relievers.

Was just coming on to say exactly this. I know it's not over by a long shot, but I would say it's already a candidate for the season's leader for "weird" moments.

I've really enjoyed what Roy has brought to the booth this year. Very clearly a guy who, at the very least, has spent a LOT of time thinking about and studying the game (and hitting in particular).

I wonder how Smalley would do on the radio. Couldn't be any worse than Gladden.


He wouldn't get to show off that hair though.

I'm gonna make a call, Morneau will get a hit against Downs (lefty)

I'll call a strikeout.



I win, and at the same time lose.

Stupid Morneau...

Damn Delmon Young -- now we need a double play.

7 innings from Diamond..

Maestroani!
