Good Friday is a slow night for the game thread.

Good Friday is a slow night for the game thread.

 

Nolasco trying to liven it up. Ugh.

[JB_Iowa]

Oh, Pinto.

[snepp]

Josmil is either the slowest player in baseball, or he wasn't running very hard.

 

 

 

That was an awesome throw though.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

They caught a runner off first again on a cutoff throw to the plate.

 

And... Pinto out trying to stretch a single into a double. Close though, and with two out, i think i'm okay with that...

[BigTrane]

Ok, I'll try my best to liven it up..

 

Here in China, baseball is a Martial Art. Bats are for personal defense only.

 

The marketing seems to be aimed at OTR truckers, for some reason.

Is self-defense really an issue? In Taiwan, you hit HRs, but on the mainland you hit shins?

 

Ok...

 

For the OTR guy who needs protection from hitchhikers, migrant farmworkers, organ harvesters, and itinerant sex workers, we present... the Bat.

[Reider]

Not the most exciting game in the world.. Hopefully the Twins can get the bats going here...

I've been watching the Harang no hitter with 6 walks. He I believe is done, but the no hitter lives.

 

edit: listening to Twins

Attaboy Dozierzie.

[JB_Iowa]

Dozier .... wow.

[JB_Iowa]

Attaboy Dozierzie.

 

Isn't it just Doz-ie?

[snepp]

According to the Gardy-izer, it should be "Dozsy."

 

 

 

I like mine better.

[Jerr]

Dozzie, is my preference:p

[BigTrane]

Dude is for real.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Isn't it just Doz-ie?

 

Sounds like a grammar lesson...

 

Dozie, Dozier, Doziest.

 

"That was the Doziest play!"

[JB_Iowa]

Sounds like a grammar lesson...

 

Dozie, Dozier, Doziest.

 

"That was the Doziest play!"

 

Just as long as he doesn't doze on the job.

[JB_Iowa]

I hope Ricky finds his A.L. groove soon.

[snepp]

Meh.

[snepp]

"That's an out in Oakland."

 

 

 

Drink.

[Reider]

This game is ugly, nothing is going right.

[Jerr]

I wanted the Twins to start out hot after their series at home......dang it!!!

[JB_Iowa]

Well, low leverage seemed to work for Burton.

[Winston Smith]

Dozzie, is my preference:p

 

Imo the proper nickname is the same as the car!

Doesn't seem to work in the case of catchers:

 

 

And take a look at the 2014 Mastroianni:

And that's a fantastic link... The automobile of Gary Cooper, no less.

 

Hmmm... coop, cooper, coopest?

 

Oh well. I got distracted from the end of the game a bit... Thanks!

'That's all we got?!? Four bleeping car references?'

[thetank]

It's early but it seems that if the Twins would have signed other FA pitchers they would be a lot better than .500.

And... Pinto out trying to stretch a single into a double...

Looked to me like he was out trying to stretch a double into a double.
