Game Thread: Twins@White Sox 4/3 1:10PM

[Reider]

Bert just educated on that hyper-obscure newfangled stat... Babip. Sigh.

And he won't shut up about it.

[Gibby]

Garcia is delmon bad out there. He was literally the last guy in the park to figure out it was going over his head.

 

Delmon is one of the least flexible athletes I've ever seen. Hammer is a close second.

[Riverbrian]

Um...that's a left hand.

 

My thumbs are reversible. It works pretty well but I have to focus when giving the thumbs up sign.

 

I've accidentally killed many good projects that way.

But then again, given today's paltry attendance, he'll never achieve true Delmonesque cluelessness.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Just got home, missed the first half of the game.

 

With that said...

[LaBombo]

I'm guessing he mispronounced it, too?

No, but it's only the third game of the season, so there's plenty of time for that. My guess is that he'll leave the stadium wondering what the he!! Dick was talking about Bip Roberts for.

[Riverbrian]

The Twins will win some games in Colabello hits like that all season.

 

Ok it's my turn...

 

I believe that should have been spelled "ink".

Thats exactly what I was saying in the first inning.

I could get banned rearranging that one.

[jokin]

Um...that's a left hand.

 

Yep. Gosh, I sure hope he isn't drinking his prayer beads, just dipping them in the cold one in his right hand.....

[LimestoneBaggy]

Small sample size rules are in play, but the Twins wanted to send Cola to Korea?

[John Kelsey]

Colabello sporting a 1.625 OPS.

 

Seems sustainable to me

[Riverbrian]

That triple is Ok... We have a Cola Cushion!!!

[Gibby]

Colabello sporting a 1.625 OPS.

 

Seems sustainable to me

 

IMO the guy looks as motivated as anyone on that roster.

[Riverbrian]

Small sample size rules are in play, but the Twins wanted to send Cola to Korea?

 

He a big dude and they could use the help against North Korea. Last time we sent them Alan Alda and Gary Burghoff and they were not impressed.

[mikeee]

oops

[Danchat]

Just turned on the TV, it was 5 to 1. 1 minute later it's 5-4. The TV is going off now.

[Riverbrian]

There goes the Cola Cushion.

 

Brock!!! I blame you and all that Phil Hughes Superflous shouting you did.

[Gibby]

He a big dude and they could use the help against North Korea. Last time we sent them Alan Alda and Gary Burghoff and they were not impressed.

 

I think it was B.J. Honeycutt that undermined the machismo of American forces.

[70charger]

Well, there goes the quality start.

[James]

Just turned on the TV, it was 5 to 1. 1 minute later it's 5-4. The TV is going off now.

So you are the one to blame.

[LaBombo]

Kind of surprised Dunn's shot stayed in the stadium...

[Riverbrian]

Just turned on the TV, it was 5 to 1. 1 minute later it's 5-4. The TV is going off now.

 

Good call... It's clearly yours and Brock's Fault!!!

[njweismantel]

I know it is early on, but it seems like our pitchers think they can get away with throwing a 91 mph fastball belt high. We are way to far up in the zone so far.

[John Kelsey]

Dunn's three ABs today pretty much summarize him as a hitter

[Gibby]

Good call... It's clearly yours and Brock's Fault!!!

 

It just occurred to me what Brock you were talking about.

[LaBombo]

Well, there goes the quality start.

Got ugly in a hurry. He'll be lucky to make it out of the inning. 94 pitches.

[Reider]

Ok it's my turn...

 

I believe that should have been spelled "ink".

If.. as in if my aunt had baseballs, she'd be my uncle.

[clank2000]

I don't see so good....is that Scott Diamond on the mound?

[jokin]

Small sample size rules are in play, but the Twins wanted to send Cola to Korea?

 

Yeah, but that was based solely on the opinion of their Far East talent evaluators.....ie, Nishi too good for Japan, Cola not good enough for US or Japan.
