Yeah, these west coast games get a bit late for me...it'll be pushing 10 PM by the time it finishes!

 

I'll be in San Fran to take in this Friday and Saturday's game...hope I can stay awake that late!

With the day off yesterday and Thursday the could have skipped Correia's start and put him in the pen. He needs to step up.

[LaBombo]

Plus, TC is a southpaw

Hawkeye scoops Fangraphs! Well done.

4. National League Baseball -- The Pitcher gets to bat and I love it... Because it's kinda fun when something unexpected happens. Kevin Correia has spent most of his career in the National League and has stepped to the plate 338 times. He has 32 hits and 5 extra base hits (all doubles) and he has struck out 121 times. No need to worry... Kevin Correia is very experienced at the plate. He knows how to walk back to the dugout and has done it a few times.

 

 

Assuming there were some walks in those plate appearances.... so why on earth hasn't Gardy been using KC to pinch hit for Florimon?

[diehardtwinsfan]

Ok... I gotta ask again... The difference between Ish and Ick is?

 

Mole on Face is an Ish... An Ick is a ???

Worship him and TD members will break their tablets.

NL game tonight, nothing says excitement quite like a pitcher bunting in the 2nd or 3rd inning.

 

I did my position/persuasive paper in English 101(about 25 years ago) on why we should keep the DH. The feeble attempts to hit or bunt by the pitchers were reason #1. If I wanted to watch that, I'd save the ticket price and go to a jr. high game instead.

That's neither an ick nor an ish. It's an eye-stabbing moment.

[gil4]

Btw, if you google 'Steve Trachsel' and the letter 'h', the first autofill is "human rain delay".

 

Should've been in the rotation with Spahn and Sain.

I did my position paper on... Positions.

 

I didn't know I had options and I took everything literal in those days.

Incur the wrath of the TD faithful AND contribute to the senseless deaths of a boatload of iPads? No thank you, sir.

[LaBombo]

Should've been in the rotation with Spahn and Sain.

 

...and pray for the opposite of Trachsie rain..

There's got to be a joke in here somewhere

Yeah... I kinda missed.

[Tibs]

I love watching baseball no matter what time it is. Go Twins!

[Riverbrian]

Look at Kevin charge out of the gate

[LaBombo]

Yeah... I kinda missed.

No worries. More AB's to come!

Like a rock

[drock2190]

Gladden just said Corriea has dominating stuff.

 

My stomach hurts...

[Tibs]

Did Dick just say Correia was twerking on the mound last year? I must have missed that.

[LaBombo]

Look at Kevin charge out of the gate

 

Has he lost weight? Cap mechanics have definitely taken a step forward:

[stringer bell]

Correia already exceeds his number of swings and misses and Ks from his last start.

Good to know. What part of the investment spectrum should my 401k focus on?
