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

[Chance]

We haven't had a catcher bat this well since Joe Mauer!

[ashbury]

4 RBI for Suzuki in the first two games? If present trends continue, I expect more of the same.

[LaBombo]

.800 OBP for Hicksie today.

There's just something about working behind the plate that sharpens your perception on the offensive side too. It's too much of a pattern to ignore. SABR should look into this.

[twinscowboysbulls]

I'm really enjoying the fast start Hicks has gotten off to. Is that new First Basemen we signed supposed to be a good hitter? I see here he hasn't gotten a hit yet. I thought players at that position hit homeruns? Can someone fill me in?

[James]

Oh, gee... look who struck out again.

[Chance]

I thought that would have been a good time to use the bench and pinch hit Joe Mill.. O well..

[ashbury]

How slow of a runner must Konerko be, to be pinch-run for by a catcher?

[mikeee]

perk

[zchrz]

I will not be sad when Konerko and Dunn are gone from the socks

[Craig Arko]

Think we see Escobar at short tomorrow?

[ashbury]

Can someone fill me in?

 

See the previous discussion on Eaton Semien.

[LaBombo]

Oh, gee... look who struck out again.

He not only struck out, he managed to look like a fan who won the 'take a major league at bat' drawing in doing so. Brutal.

[Intramural Legend]

Think we see Escobar at short tomorrow?

 

If so, do we see Colabelo at first?

[LaBombo]

Who's wearing Perk's uniform today?

[mikeee]

dangit.

[notoriousgod71]

Bring in capps!!!

[ashbury]

Who's wearing Perk's uniform today?

 

Half of Matt Capps.

 

/ would prefer to see his better half instead

[kydoty]

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!

[mikeee]

He sure blew that one... wow.

[JB_Iowa]

Ways #5 & #6 to implode.

[LaBombo]

Always good to get that first blown save out of the way early to avoid needless chatter about a perfect season.

[mhanson93]

Oh Plouffe...

[ashbury]

I wonder if Riverbrian will have any post-game thoughts to offer about Plouffe's defensive prowess?

[Halsey Hall]

Well, that walk didn't help one bit. Perkins first blown save of the year, of many, I'm afraid.

[twinscowboysbulls]

Geez, we have like 2 guys that would play on any team, and those two guys suck right now.

[LaBombo]

Half of Matt Capps.

 

/ would prefer to see his better half instead

Now we know why Cappsie was throwing right-handed. His left looks pretty bad.

 

Black Sox scorer rewards routine grounder with a hit.

[ashbury]

Two strikeouts by Perk. Practically a perfect ninth.

[Craig Arko]

Extra innings. A setup for Florimon to redeem himself.

[Chance]

Twins have a 6-4 lead!

 

"So what? They'll blow it in the 9th!"
