Doubleheader Game Thread: Blue Jays@Twins 12:10PM/6:10PM

[stringer bell]

Dozier!

[jokin]

Plus they are taking a ton of walks. Much better strike zone judgement than what we saw most of last year.

 

And confirmed by the numbers: BB%- 2014 12..6% vs 2013 8.6% Zone %- 2014 45.8% vs. 2013 44.3%

 

Now if they can get this nice improvement coupled with a lower K-rate- Swing%: 2014 39.2% vs. 2013 44.2%, yet the 2014 K% is exactly the same as 2013 (23%).

OK, gotta get a Dozier jersey.

[GCTF]

Finally, something to cheer about.

[stringer bell]

No shutouts tonight!

[Brock Beauchamp]

Brian Dozier. Strong like bull.

 

Bull with beautiful, flowing mane.

[Willihammer]

What? No RBI on that weak grounder?

[ashbury]

No shutouts tonight!

 

Do you send Pelfrey out to start the ninth?

[Brock Beauchamp]

Sometimes, I wonder if Gladden has ever watched a baseball game, much less played one.

[big dog]

Do you send Pelfrey out to start the ninth?

 

Yeah, in game 1.

What radio gem did I miss?

[Willihammer]

What do you call a deer with no eyes?

 

No idear.

 

What do you call a deer with no eyes and no legs?

 

Still no idear.

 

What do you call a deer with no eyes no legs and no genitals?

 

Still no @$^@^ idear

You need to put in a LOVE button for me on comments like this!

[GCTF]

Playing for one run in the second inning against Pelfrey is a curious strategy.

[Brock Beauchamp]

What radio gem did I miss?

 

He was confused about the importance of OBP.

 

And that it was a good thing.

 

And, it seemed for a moment, what it was in the first place.

[afurry91]

Is this game on TV?

Scratch out what you can against Big Pelf.

[ashbury]

No idear.

Still no @$^@^ idear

 

What do you call a deer with no eyes, no feet, no legs, no body, only antlers?

 

A coat hook.

To be fair, he's been "working" since before Noon, and is undoubtedly on at least his third "hot lunch special".

[Willihammer]

Is this game on TV?

 

I'm watching on my microwave.

 

The baserunners haven't stopped circling the bases since I pressed enter.

[ashbury]

That swing for strike two definitely makes me rethink Escobar's readiness to take advantage of the opportunity Florimon is leaving open for him.

[big dog]

Nice to see Hicks get a hit. I feel like I got $5 on a scratchoff ticket.

[Willihammer]

To be fair, he's been "working" since before Noon, and is undoubtedly on at least his third "hot lunch special".

 

Yeah I would definitely wait till at least the 4th inning to buy a hot dog in game 2 of a doubleheader.

You're probably using your Amana. Go back to the Gibson Microwave model.

And unfortunately, I'm guessing his 3 previous "hot lunch specials" were of the hot toddy variety.

Of course there is one small drawback to the stationary Gibson models...

[ashbury]

That flapping of the lips when Pelfrey does his cleansing breath is starting to look extra gross.

[Twins Twerp]

With the time it takes pelfrey to pitch...gib-sony might make the hall of fame before the end of this game. #meyeryet # mayyet #hoffmanyet

 

 

by the time this game gets over tyler kolek might be taking pelfreys spot in the rotation

[Twins Twerp]

By the time this game is over, Joe Mauer will have hit another home run
