I know Hicks made some mental errors yesterday, but I'd much rather see Hicks in CF and Schafer in LF. Just Saying.....Hermann is great on AAA, and we can call him up when we are in a pinch.

[Squirrel]

Well, of course it did that. It's me, after all.

 

Santana SS

Dozier 2B

Mauer 1B

Hunter RF

Plouffe 3B

Suzuki C

Hermann LF

Pinto DH

Schafer CF

 

Milone P

My vantage point for today's game.

Okay, who wrote out that lineup in the first post?  That is some crazy good handwriting (I can't write on a whiteboard for you-know-what), especially with all those huge loops and stuff on some of the letters.

It's still early and everyone gets their reps this early on. We'll see what happens come April.

sO what happened, Hunter gets a hit with 2 on and an out is recorded.  gameday is all messed up

 

[Squirrel]

Hunter hit a little blooper just over the 3rd baseman. Dozier was on 2nd and tried to score. Was out by mile. Didn't see if Glynn sent him or not.

[Squirrel]

Plouffe had a very long at bat resulting in a strikeout.

[Squirrel]

And the double hit by Brown over Hunters head ... hmm, Humter seemed not move. Maybe he didn't catch it off the bat right away

Was he out by a Country mile, or just a Grapefruit League mile?

[SweetOne69]

Too bad there isn't any audio feed today.

A negligible difference.

[Squirrel]

Bases loaded, no outs. And only one run scores. Whatchya gonna do.

[jokin]

I thought the days of three catchers in one starting lineup were over?

[Squirrel]

My guess is they are trying to ease Pinto back into play having been out with a quad strain.

[NoCryingInBaseball]

Maybe I don't get an actual timeline by watching Gameday, but May seems to have retired the side rather quickly.

I realize the Milone is not everyone's favorite for the #5 starter spot, but Tommy-gun  appears to have acquitted himself quite well today.  Anyone with eyewitness confirmation or refutation?

Must I be an eyewitness to issue a refutation?

I know what he did last year, I'm definitely not a big fan.  I'm just wondering about today and ST in general (ie, anything he's doing differently, recovered from his neck situation, pick-up in velocity, etc.).

[Halsey Hall]

Looks like Herrmann is getting his timing down. 

[Halsey Hall]

Here comes the rain!

[Squirrel]

Got out just in time. With two octogenarians in tow, it was enough heat and humidity after 7 innings.
