Game thread: ST Game #13, Twins v Orioles, 3/13 @ 12:05pm CT

[Brock Beauchamp]

Some solid fundamental baseball from the Orioles right there.

 

And Dozier yet again shows his baserunning chops.

[diehardtwinsfan]

Plouffe!!!!!

[Riverbrian]

The Twins are scoring some runs today. 

 

Could you imagine how many runs they would have scored if Nolasco was pitching for the Orioles? 

[diehardtwinsfan]

Yeah, I think this offense has a real shot at scoring 800 runs

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Plouffe!!!!!

An't argue with that.

 

The twins have taken the lead.

[DrNeau]

Plouffe!

You could be right but the game will last until sometime tomorrow.

[DrNeau]

Rosario triples. The boys brought their bats today.

[USAFChief]

You could be right but the game will last until sometime tomorrow.

And may not be enough anyway, if Nolasco goes two more innings.

 

Bad dum tcshhhh

This is not cricket.

 

If it were, Nolasco would be bowling, i think.

The ole 6-5 play for a force at 2nd.

and he would be named Jiminy

[Jham]

I for one won't be super upset if Nolasco takes the 5th starter spot as long as his leash was decently short, as would be the case for most 5th starters I imagine...  2 years ago he was awful, last year he was ok, good on peripherals.  I'm changing my mind with every walk though...

[Riverbrian]

Vance Worley pitching

 

Now I can see for myself if Rick Anderson was terrible or not. 

[Blake]

I feel bad for the vp of the outlet mall. Must be hard to go on tv without having any personality to project. Seemed like a decent guy but not much presence.

[diehardtwinsfan]

Bad at bat for Buxton

[Riverbrian]

There goes Abad tipping his pitches again. 

 

He got down 2-0 and totally tipped that a fast ball was coming by getting down 2-0

 

Uff Da

[Brock Beauchamp]

The Orioles defense looks terrible today.

[Riverbrian]

 

The Orioles defense looks terrible today.

 

It really does

 

But... thankfully for Baltimore the majority of starters are not playing. Only Schoop and Kim are projected to be starters. 

 

 

[Halsey Hall]

Duffey did not look good on the other end today.  Perkins was fine as was Fien. Actually Duffey's first inning was cut to 2 outs due to pitch count I presume.

It's still pretty early but I'm beginning to wonder if Duffey and Nolasco are leaving the door wide open for Berrios.

[Jham]

Mauer almost feeling too good?  Should I be relieved or concerned?

[Jham]

Buxton running looks like he's playing on a little league field.  It seems like he takes two steps between bases...

[Riverbrian]

I really love the depth. 

 

Vargas has such easy power. 

 

 

 

 

[diehardtwinsfan]

Vargas sighting

[D. Hocking]

He also has a lot of great teammates.

 

I know there are valid criticisms out there, but his cliche addiction aside, he does seem like a decent guy.

 

 

[Riverbrian]

Ft. Myers looks beautiful

 

Serious question for those who have been there. 

 

How is the bug situation? 

 

Roaches, Mosquitos, Scorpions

 

How does the Gulf Coast of Florida compare to Brainerd bug wise? 

[Jham]

If Centeno continues to hit and tears up AAA, and JR Murphy doesn't do much, and Suzuki continues to show age, does Murphy have options left?

. I haven't really noticed them. But it is very windy. According to bob Sacramento, the wildlife you should be concerned about are bears, panthers, snakes, and gators

Just like Brainerd then.
