Game Thread: ST Game #4, Twins v Orioles, 3/5 @ 12:05 pm CT

[DrNeau]

Walks Flaherty on 4 pitches.

[DrNeau]

Was first putout I've seen Sano make.

[DrNeau]

Gets the swinging strikeout to end the inning - leaving the bases loaded.

[DrNeau]

Beautiful day here in FL.

The red is still jarring. I can't say I hate it, and they might grow on me. But I'm absolutely not used to seeing our team in red.

Beautiful day here in FL.

 

Are you there in person too?

[DrNeau]

Mauer takes strike 1 for the 2nd consecutive time.

[DrNeau]

Are you there in person too?

Yep; love this park!

[sane16]

Mauer takes strike 1 for the 2nd consecutive time.

Slow news day.

[spinowner]

 White, gray or navy. Red should be only for trim. Bill of the cap at most. 

[DrNeau]

Mauer works a full count and settles for a fly out to left. Best pitch of the at bat was the first one.

[DrNeau]

Gotta say Perkins looks in better shape. That's encouraging.

[Squirrel]

Mauer works a full count and settles for a fly out to left. Best pitch of the at bat was the first one.

Um, from where I'm sitting, no it wasn't. Wished that liner down the 1st base line was fair.

[DrNeau]

Wished that was fair, too. Was hit well.

[70charger]

Circus Boy update: game is tied at 2 in the middle of the third inning. Berrios goes off in favor of Landa.

 

Also, Buxton is fast as heck.

[DrNeau]

Buxton shows off the wheels.

[70charger]

And boom goes the dynamite.

[DrNeau]

Rosario!

[70charger]

Who had the higher fly ball? Sano or Park?

 

Roster decisions will hinge on this!

[70charger]

Non-Circus Boy update: It's 9:30 here, and I haven't eaten. Time for dinner. 

[DrNeau]

Haha I'd say Sano's.

[DrNeau]

Non-Circus Boy update: It's 9:30 here, and I haven't eaten. Time for dinner.

Where are you, Istanbul?

[DrNeau]

Mauer takes strike one for the third time. 0-1.

[DrNeau]

RBI ground out. I thought he was going to wear sunglasses. What happened to all that talk?

[Brock Beauchamp]

RBI ground out. I thought he was going to wear sunglasses. What happened to all that talk?

He said he was going to experiment with wearing them, not that he was going to wear them for every day game.

[spinowner]

Buxton on 2nd, Sano batting, 2 outs. IBB in the regular season. K in ST.

[DrNeau]

Twins putting together a few hits here in the 6th. 6-2.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

 

And boom goes the dynamite.

That sounds like a good thing!

[Craig Arko]

12-2 Minnesota after six complete.

[DrNeau]

Twins put up 8 in the bottom of the 6th. 12-2.
