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

[Squirrel]

The Orioles have yet to win a ST game. Will this be their one? With their 'home team' lineup against our 'away team' lineup, there are possibilities. And Trevor May gets the start ... exciting times! I'm showing that this one won't be televised, but there will be radio. Enjoy! Baseball yay! Can't get enough of it, but tomorrow I head for home and the Twins don't hit Chicago for a bit.

 

TWINS:

Buxton CF

Nunez 2B

Quentin 1B

Park DH

Arcia LF

Sweeney RF

Britton 3B

Suzuki C

Tovar SS (I always think Cesar when I type that name! )

 

May P

 

ORIOLES:

Reimold LF

Machado 3B

Jones CF

Davis 1B

Trumbo RF

Wieters C

Hardy SS

Schoop 2B

I don't know the weather in Sarasota, but if it's anything like Ft. Myers, it's beautiful ... warm, sunny, breezy ... perfect!

Is it too early to say that it looks like Park can hit?

[Squirrel]

Twins score on a Nunez single, SB, followed by a Quentin double. Park singles, Suzuki walks so bases are loaded, two outs in the top of the 1st.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Lots of action, not many runs.

Maybe, maybe not. I'd rather see how he is after seeing teams a 2nd or 3rd time. I also think that pitchers aren't quite yet at regular season form. But Park has certainly given us cause to be hopeful.

Twins baseball, which I wish wasn't.

Let's just assume that Park isn't quite at regular season form yet, either.

I can't quite wrap my head around the simultaneous implosions of Meyer and Arcia.

 

Arcia was my darkhorse favorite in the org after his breakout performance in 2010. He cruised through the system and posted two good partial seasons in Minnesota.

 

And then... Boom, planet-sucking blackhole implosion. I don't get it.

[Squirrel]

And Orioles are up 3-1 after one. Bottom half went K, double, HBP, WP, single, K, K.

True. Which still means let's wait to see when it is really mid-season.

If your name is Buck Britton, are you morally obligated to play professional baseball?

 

Because that's some "1940s rub some dirt on it and get back out there" **** right there.

[gunnarthor]

May doesn't seem to be grabbing a starting role today ...

No, you also have the option of being an adult film star or an English superhero with poor spelling skills I believe.
