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

Perhaps Perk should spend more time working on his breaking ball, and less time punking Pelfrey...doesn't seem quite so funny now.

[twinscowboysbulls]

Can someone please pinch hit for Bartlett or is he the best option we could ever possibly have as a DH?!?

How long is that extension again?

[Winston Smith]

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

 

What defensive prowess?

[LaBombo]

Cola.

[twinscowboysbulls]

Why the hell did Gardy let Bartlett bat last time, if he wasn't going to let him bat this time? Makes absolutely no frickin sense. I'm sure he was thinking, oh boy, we have the lead, good time to get some guys an at-bat!

Jason Tyner would like to speak with you.

[Halsey Hall]

Can the Mighty Whities pen be as bad as ours?

[mhanson93]

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

 

Derp

[LaBombo]

Plouffesie didn't quite have the distance there.

[Since71]

So Gardy did you know Kubel can't hit lefties and you have Colabello on the bench?... same old same old. On a positive note we are deep in DH. We have 3 starting today 1 at DH 1 at 3rd and 1 in left...big sigh

[Craig Arko]

The wind kept it in.

Colabello standing on first base would be an unusual batting stance.

[Halsey Hall]

Best bring in long relief, like Duensing, as we may not score again for multiple innings.

[Since71]

My bad colabello already in I must have been crying in the other room when he came in

[amjgt]

If Deduno isn't coming in here, then what exactly was the point of him warming up in the 9th?

[ashbury]

Nice movement on Tonkin's fastball for strike three.

[ashbury]

The announcers made a reference to Duensing being not on the roster, hence Tonkin's availability at all. I do not remember seeing anything about Duensing - anyone know?

I think i saw something about paternity leave...

He arrives back today and is supposed to be activated for tomorrow.

 

Has a new baby boy.

[Winston Smith]

I think we may be seeing the two worst teams in the AL this year.

[SydneyTwinsFan]

Nice work Tonkin. He might stay up even when Duensing is back depending on how Fien's ankle is

[savvyspy]

Can we put a fork in this comical Dozier as a leadoff guy thing? Just put Hicks back up top of the order.

 

There is nothing that epitomizes Mauer better than him coming up late in the game and nursing a 1 out walk. Always kicking the can down the lineup to generate runs.

[Craig Arko]

I think we may be seeing the two worst teams in the AL this year.

 

Dollar for dollar, the Angels may make a run at it.

[JB_Iowa]

I agree but hesitate to "like" this.

He will eventually, but after what happened last year and with the start he's off to, they better leave him alone for now.

[Halsey Hall]

I'm so p'd off I typed Duensing instead of Swarzak. This could be a long season on this old timer.

[Winston Smith]

I agree but hesitate to "like" this.

 

I didn't like saying it either. However, I'm not a big fan of bad baseball.

[Guest USAFChief]

I'll take the blame. I turned on the game just in time for Dunn's AB in the 8th.

[Craig Arko]

Yeah, if he keeps it up for a dozen games or so that may be time to revisit it. It would certainly be a nice boost.
