Game Thread: Angels vs Twins, 4/16 @ 1:10 CT

[stringer bell]

Nice hitting from Nuñez, Mauer and Plouffe. It would be nice to cap it off with a big fly.

[Circus Boy]

Plouffe's BA is up to .222. Nunez a cool .800. Let's beat this Weaver guy like the rented mule he is.

[jimbo92107]

You now, Park has probably seen a fair number of pitchers about like Weaver...

[Linus]

Man Weaver is offering up some slop

[Circus Boy]

Mauer's at .389. Arcia is .111. The hitting is contagious.

[mickeymental]

who are these players and what have they done with the twins?

[D. Hocking]

Is Vanimal on another date? We need to find out what the factor is for when they score more than one run an inning.   

[Puckett34]

That was a encouraging inning.  Keep it up.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Damn. I was hoping for more than two there but Weaver looks so bad I can't see the Twins not scoring more against him.

Careful. That sounds entirely too optimistic.

[Linus]

After that catch I'm glad Plouffe is not an outfielder. Man he is slow

[Squirrel]

I'm happy to say the Twins are going to win again today! I'll be out on the golf course and not able to watch the game...

And I'm watching, so we have the right combo in tact

[Circus Boy]

Right on time. Led for 7 minutes.

[Puckett34]

There's Ricky Nolasco

[Pardon My Dinger]

Modern Family's Manny is getting pretty roughed up on the mound.

[Linus]

Great play by murphy. Short hop pick up of the overthrow and a perfect throw to second

[mikeee]

Looks like pitch to contact is happening!

[Linus]

Good throw by murphy. He's better than Suzuki with the glove.

[Darius]

The offense starts coming around and the rotation falls apart.

 

Well, Nolasco and Milone are bad, so it's not as much "falling apart" as them just always being bad pitchers.

 

This team could really use their best starting pitcher in the MLB rotation right about now, if they have any hopes of crawling back into this thing.

Actually Milone performance has little in common with Nolasco

ftfy

That was a strike he threw down to 2nd on the steal too.  If the pitch was anything but the slow curve he is very out.

[Jham]

Nunez has a magic bat. ..

[Jham]

And a very loose helmet. ..

[Cap'n Piranha]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Nunez now 9 for his last 9?

[Dozier's Glorious Hair]

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Nunez now 9 for his last 9?

 

9 for his last 10, I think.

[Puckett34]

And magic legs

[SwainZag]

You think Dozier even felt that?  73 MPH?  I was hit with harder pitches in little league.

[EephusKnuckler]

Damn, Joe just missed his spot there. I thought for sure we were getting at least one run there

[Brock Beauchamp]

I don't know what kind of defensive baseball they play in Korea and Japan but it sure doesn't have much in common with the American version.
