Game Thread: Orioles@Twins 5/4 1:10PM

[LaBombo]

Why is Mauer out of the game? (Just tuned in) Did something happen?

 

Radio broadcast has yet to say that I've heard, so the Twins may have not diagnosed it yet.

[howeda7]

Get Arcia up here soon. Especially if Mauer is out, but even if he isn't. Colabello is regressing so hard, he should only be playing against lefties. If Mauer is DL'd Parmalee should be primary 1B.

[GCTF]

Already bracing myself for the possibility that Dozier and Cola may not reach their April-projected season totals of 50 homers and 150 RBI respectively...

 

How about the dynamic duo of Florihermann finishing under .100/.200/.200?

Dr.Nick must still be at the seafood restaurant.

3rd inning

 

Hughes: 2 FB, 0 LD, 0 GB, 8 fouls, 2 whiffs

Gonzalez: 0 FB, 2 LD, 3 GB, 0 fouls, 4 whiffs

[Halsey Hall]

Nice tidy start for Hughes. Looks like a nice day there also, with a lot of shirt sleeves.

[J-Dog Dungan]

Holy cow, are the Twins actually getting good starting pitching for a change?

Perhaps 3 straight quality starts at the major league level?

[Ultima Ratio]

Injured back for Mauer ? Huh?

I'm not sure, but I think just because you combine players doesn't mean you get to add the slash lines together.

[GCTF]

If I combine them does it open up a roster spot?

[Guest USAFChief]

You're going to have to help me out on this one, Chief.

RB had a "My Little Runaway" riff going in his original GT intro.

 

I think.

 

Could have been my imagination running away with me.

 

And Go Plouffe!

[howeda7]

Florimon in a key spot. Great.

[Guest USAFChief]

If I combine them does it open up a roster spot?

Yes. For another reliever.

[twinscowboysbulls]

2nd and 3rd and no one out. Boom!

[GCTF]

Nice job bottom of the order. Take a bow.

[GCTF]

Yes. For another reliever.

 

I was thinking some sort of reliever/catcher hybrid.

[Mike Sixel]

Cut Floriman now. Why is Santana not playing today? Why is Floriman still on this roster?

[Willihammer]

4th

 

Hughes: 1 FB, 0 LD, 1 GB, 0 fouls, 3 whiffs

Gonzalez: 0 FB, 1 LD, 2 GB, 1 foul, 3 whiffs

His defense is just so smooth.

[Craig Arko]

So what is it now; 6-0 Orioles?

[GCTF]

His defense is just so smooth.

 

You forgot to mention his range. I don't know why they even need a 2B and 3B with him out there.

[Riverbrian]

btw ... a little off topic ... I just posted a blurb over in the minors ... Buxton has been added to the Miracles' roster. I think that means he's ready for play. Yay! Wonder how long before he's promoted then to AA ...

 

Nothing is off topic

[Riverbrian]

Since you went a little off topic, may I veer away as well with a tasty little SSS discovery I made this morning:

 

 

 

This is Kennys Vargas's plate numbers over the last 2 weeks. The Beast awakens....no one's taking much note,,,,,and he's doing this with virtually no support in front of, or behind him, in the New Britain batting order.

We'll know soon enough when Nunez has a go at second or third.

[howeda7]

Now, BUNT Hermann. Bunt.

[Willihammer]

Herrmann with 3 swings and misses in his first PA. Let's see if he can foul one off this time.

[Riverbrian]

Thanks for the gameday thoughts. Good stuff, as usual. I see you survived the wedding.

 

Re so many wanting to leave Illinois, guess I'm guilty. I was born in Moline. Left three months later. Guess I couldn't stand it.

 

I even stayed awake... I'm so proud of myself.

 

Just sat down on my own furniture and I've got the game on with a lead.

 

Ive seen enough of North Dakota for the time being.

[GCTF]

Now, BUNT Hermann. Bunt.

 

There's always the HBP option.
