New Britain Rock Cats-New Hampshire Fisher Cats: 4/20/12 Morning Baseball Catfight

[Twins Fan From Afar]

That's right, the Rock Cats are back in action literally about 12 hours after a tough loss last night.
Hopefully they can rebound today and start another winning streak.
I'll post any noteworthy updates as they comes up.

Lucas French (2-0, .93 ERA), pitches a scoreless first. A lineout, flyout, walk to Roger Clemens' kid, but then French picks off Clemens.

[Twins Fan From Afar]

Dolenc, Herrmann and Bigley all ground out. Scoreless.

[Twins Fan From Afar]

French gets a called third, gives up a single to CF, gets a flyout and groundout to end the inning. 1 hit, 1 walk, 1 K for French through 2 innings.

[Twins Fan From Afar]

Chris Colabello walk and Aaron Hicks single set up a Deibinson Romero HR to center!
3-0 New Britain. Romero's 3rd dinger.

[Twins Fan From Afar]

Florimon, Hanson and De Los Santos grounders end the inning. 3-0 Rock Cats.

Andrew, are you in the game?

[Twins Fan From Afar]

French gets a ground out, gives up two walks (3), and a stolen base.
Walks the next batter (4). All the sudden the bases are full because of walks.

[Twins Fan From Afar]

No, thrylos. Just following along.

And as for your comment on my blog, I would love to be able to answer the question about Oliveros' velocity, but the wife and I had to leave the game early to get to the grocery store before it closed. I plan to go on Sunday, so I'll let you know if he makes an appearance.

Andrew,

Thanks for the thread didn't even know they had a pancake and eggs special today.

[MWLFan]

Which side is Hicks swinging from today?

[Twins Fan From Afar]

I think Pino's a righty, so Hicks should be batting lefty.
The play-by-play I was viewing completly froze, so I'm left thinking the bases have been loaded for a half hour!

[MWLFan]

No Terry Felton is on the mound and Mike Hargrove is at the plate...1980's baseball reference for those lucky enough to see "Freeze" felton face off against the Human rain Delay.

[MWLFan]

OH it's Yohan Pino on the mound! Saw him pitch for the Snappers before the trade for Pavano. Back AA. Is he on rehab or taking the elevator down?

[Twins Fan From Afar]

It's now 3-2 Rock Cats. The feed had stopped working. French gave up a 2 run homer.
I think Pino might be on the way down -- I thought he started the season in AAA?

[Twins Fan From Afar]

After a single and a stolen base, New Hampshire ties the game up on a Chris Herrmann throwing error. 3-3 in the top of the 4th.

[Twins Fan From Afar]

Lucas French has walked 6 in 5 innings today.

[Twins Fan From Afar]

Rock Cats win 7-3. Chris Colabello RBI double, and a Pedro Florimon 3R HR provided the additional scoring. That was Florimon's second HR, and Colabello's 5th double.
Good win for the home team, coming off of last night's loss!
