Game 2 - Twins @ Baltimore - 5:35 on 4/7/12

Here are the lineups for tonight's game:

Twins
Denard Span CF
Jamey Carroll SS
Joe Mauer C
Justin Morneau DH
Josh Willingham LF
Chris Parmelee 1B
Danny Valencia 3B
Ben Revere RF
Alexi Casilla 2B

SP: Francisco Liriano

Orioles
Nolan Reimold LF
JJ Hardy SS
Nick Markakis RF
Adam Jones CF
Matt Wieters C
Mark Reynolds 3B
Nick Johson 1B
Ronny Paulino DH
Robert Andino 2B

SP: Tommy Hunter

I'm excited to see what Span, M & M, and Parmelee can do against Hunter!

Would be nice if our table setters would make Hunter work a bit

Two ugly swings from Morneau, sandwiched around missing his pitch on 1-1.

Arrieta and now Hunter look like Palmer and McNally thus far

Liriano in a word... Encouraging.

The Twins are going to regret no locking up Liriano when they still could have.

Nice start for Lirano. Nice to see all his pitches early.

It has too be hard for the Twins brass. Liriano has been so polar over his career.

Revere... That's a ball player. Now send him.

Jeez... I wish I wouldn't have used the word polar!

A team's made an offer? Who do we get?

The walk is more frusturating.

Used to seem that way all the time with Scott Erickson, too. Lights-out first inning would too often translate into the showers by the fifth. Other games he'd struggle in the early innings then cruise into the eighth or ninth. Go figure.

Since everyone is sure another OFer catches the triple yesterday, I'll posit that Doumit catches that HR ball that just cleared the fence.

Sure he would have. He is taller.

Liriano battled back. Now will the Twins?

Would be nice so see our offense at least show a glimpse of something this weekend.

It's 2011 all over again.
