Article: Things to Think About (Game Thread, 4/10 3:10pm)

[Willihammer]

 

I don't think Chicago collects those tolls ... the state does. But I do think the city should charge a toll for driving in downtown, like London does.

 

Oh, and I wave ... one fingeredly

Moar tolls?

[Hrbowski]

 

YESSSSSSSSS

 

MERCY!!!!1!1!!!!1

He bleeping hit it clean out.

[Hrbowski]

He Gone!!

[bird]

 

Why is Escobar leaving the team?

 

Wouldn't you?

[Hrbowski]

Another nice play by Joe!

[Mill1634]

 

Wouldn't you?

Yea. I didn't know his fiance was having a baby. Do we get to call someone up? Nice play by Joe.

[Mill1634]

Milone on cruise control. 

[ashbury]

 

He bleeping hit it clean out.

When he hits it, it stays hit.

Wasn't talking about no baby. But I guess it's as good an excuse as any. :-).

Milone all by himself has lowered the team ERA from 7.88 to 6.51 through 5 innings.

Blyleven observed that the Twins needed a starter to go deep into a game, and that that's what Milone has done.

 

Blyleven observed this after Milone had 5.1 innings to his credit.

Wait is that supposed to be Hawk or Bert?

[Mill1634]

Ouch. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Vargas employs the ol' "bounce it off the pitcher" strategy to reach first.

[Physics Guy]

Jumping in late, but had to comment. Dick just stated that Joe didn't walk much last year, just 60 times. Career rate is 12.1% and high of 14% two years ago. Last year was 11.6%. Being a broadcaster must be like being a politician, you can say what you want even if it really isn't true.

[Hrbowski]

 

Wait is that supposed to be Hawk or Bert?

It could be either.

[Mill1634]

He was safe. Challenge it. 

[Willihammer]

 

It could be either.

Just realized, what if those two paired up for a Fox Saturday game. It... would..  be... ****ing **** **** **** **** **** **** amazing.

[ashbury]

Good attempt on the extra base by Arcia, not quite perfect execution.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

He was safe. Challenge it.

I thought that could be the case too, though the replays they showed weren't the best to judge from.

 

More perplexing, was the intentional walk respecting Suzuki? Or less so to Shafer?

I'm at work, so can't see Bert. But Bert plainly sees us here.

It's the 6th inning unless Molitor hates Arcia and thinks he can somehow teach him something you use that challenge even if you can see clear evidence they got the call right.  

[Hrbowski]

Milone for Cy Young.

[Mill1634]

Milone gonna be out for the 8th?

[ashbury]

 

Milone gonna be out for the 8th?

He's at 88 pitches, so my choice would be send him for another inning. Warm up the pen but wait at least for two baserunners.

[Mill1634]

Agree, but we also need to get Perkins a chance. 

[ashbury]

 

Agree, but we also need to get Perkins a chance. 

That would be my strategery as well for the ninth.

 

/ long range thinking, I realize

[Willihammer]

 

Agree, but we also need to get Perkins a chance. 

For whatever reason Molly wanted him to pitch yesterday in the 9-1 blowout or whatever it was. Ditto Fien.

[Hrbowski]

That snaps Milone's streak of 16 retired in a row, and Molitor pulls Milone.

[JB_Iowa]

Back to an earlier question, the Twins aren't calling anyone up because Esco will be back for Sunday's game.

[kydoty]

No wonder why it took so long for us to score.
