Game Thread: Twins @ White Sox, 4/2/14@1:10pm CT

[ashbury]

As many hits so far this year as his first 63 plate appearances last year.

 

...but who's counting.

[notoriousgod71]

Mauer giving the infielders some practice this season.

[amjgt]

...but who's counting.

 

In this case.... Fangraphs

[nicksaviking]

7 is 7 for 7 this year on infield ground outs. Tough to do AND he's gotten the infield cycle in two games groudning out to each position.

[mikeee]

wiff on 3 pitchs for Correia!!

[Tibs]

Yeah, when people were saying "Hicks will never be better than average, he only has a slim chance of being average at all", it was hard for my eyes not to roll right out of my head.

 

Yeah, he was bad. Yeah, it was unfortunate. That doesn't mean his immense talent suddenly disappeared.

 

/wishes people were more patient with prospects

 

Only through 1 and a half games obviously, but he looks comfortable at the plate.

[notoriousgod71]

Dick sprains his thumb opening Cracker Jack boxes? Who is he- Mauer?

[James]

5 pages already. The game thread crew is out today.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Only through 1 and a half games obviously, but he looks comfortable at the plate.

 

Yeah, only a couple of games but he looks like a different player. My point is that people shouldn't discount a rookie for one atrocious season.

[James]

Dick sprains

 

Me = *Chuckling at his desk uncontrollably while coworkers look at him in confusion*

[Fatt Crapps]

Nice AB, Kubes.

[James]

At least Plouffe got a hit. That's something positive, right?

[mikeee]

Nice pitch count for Correia. Throwin strikes...

[slash129]

Gotta hand it to Correia ... Quite efficient thru 5 ... Bats need to reward him now

[JB_Iowa]

Kurt Suzuki ... hitting machine.

[James]

And people thought we'd lose offense from the catcher position.

[nicksaviking]

If 2013 Dozier = 2012 Plouffe

And 2014 Dozier = 2013 Plouffe

And 2014 Plouffe = 2013 Dozier

Than 2015 Dozier = X

 

What is X?

 

A) 2014 Plouffe

2014 Dozier

C) 2013 Dozier

D) Eddie Rosario

the florimonster...

If a foul ball reaches the press box and gives Dick a concussion, let's talk.

[Tibs]

If 2013 Dozier = 2012 Plouffe

And 2014 Dozier = 2013 Plouffe

And 2014 Plouffe = 2013 Dozier

Than 2015 Dozier = X

 

What is X?

 

A) 2014 Plouffe

2014 Dozier

C) 2013 Dozier

D) Eddie Rosario

 

E) Duensing, Burton, and a prospect

You won't laugh if it ever happens to you.

I'll run this one past my middle school mathletes and let you know next week.

[James]

You won't laugh if it ever happens to you.

It really depends on the circumstances that leads to the injury. It just might be that funny.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Have I mentioned recently how much I dislike Pedro Florimon?

[Since71]

Bats? "I do not think that word means what you think it means"

[ashbury]

It really depends on the circumstances that leads to the injury. It just might be that funny.

 

Oh, everyone else will larf. Just not you.

[mikeee]

rats.

No bats.

[thetank]

Cleto can throw 100+MPH but is wild. Oh well he is facing the Twins.

[Danchat]

Not that it means anything, but Hicks leads the team in batting average right now.

It either tells you how bad this team is or how much better he is.

[James]

Not that it means anything, but Hicks leads the team in batting average right now.

I think the sample size has reached an adequate size that we can extrapolate that to through the rest of the season.
