ST Game #18 & 19: Twins @ Marlins (Sun), @ Phillies (Mon), 12:05pm CT

[big dog]

Salcedo gives up a run on 3 walks, a wild pitch, and a double play ball.  This game isn't getting any faster.

Alas, now it's over. It can't get any slower...

 

Glanced through the box score, but ain't got much to add.

Do the teams really bring so few players on these road trips? Just trying to learn

 

 

Phillies announcers just mentioned that the Twins brought very few subs on this trip.  They seemed surprised at the small number.

Saw this also in an earlier game thread and commented on it. Thrylos said it's Molitor's way of doing things, giving the players he wants to see more of a chance to make an impression. (or at least that was my impression)

Moving to Fargo would be a demotion.

Moving back to Grand Forks would be also.

 

A few consecutive moves like that and they'd have him down to nothing, which come to think of it might be where he started and has always remained.

Eduardo Escobar moved to the outfield

Which part? _{^{(And please don't say, all of him.)}}

Yes.

 

Looking it up, the whole outfield changed. Hicks came out, Robinson went from right to center, Arcia from left to right, and Escobar moved back from 3rd to left.

[ashbury]

 

Yes.

Concur.

If you live in ND, traveling between GF and Fargo is essentially like driving to Target Field from Maple Grove, but without the traffic (but with more cows, overland flooding, and Hillsboro). That said, I stand by my comment of demotion to Fargo.....I may or may not be from Grand Forks

This was a Riverbrian riff on my part, not so much a Fargo/GF riff. Less worth doing if he's not reading.

I know; I was trying to make it one.   Mostly because I can't wait for baseball season to begin, but partially as I'm not certain who exactly on this roster is in the best shape of their lives yet.
