Game Thread: Twins vs Royals, 4/5 @ 12:10 CDT

[Blake]

Sano, 2 walk in two games: On a pace for 162 walks this year.

[MNTSchmitt]

Sano is definitely showing a better eye at the plate.

 

[Mike Sixel]

 

Are they showing you ads for women's clothing, too?

 

The ads, oddly, are in English. go figure.

[Oldgoat_MN]

 

so, mlb.com is in English, but when I go to gameday, it reverts to spanish again....while it might be occasionally entertaining, not sure I need it every game.

I think it's scary.

How do they even know you speak Spanish?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Give me the "effectively wild", walks and shutout innings any day, over what we've had the past few seasons, of "keep the walks to a minimum, worst ERA in league"

[FunnyPenguin]

Looks like another walk a thon today

That is based on browsing history.

Mike may not spend as much time looking at women's shoes as you do.

[Danchat]

Wait, so this national walk day is an actual thing? 

 

Hey, we scored!

[Cap'n Piranha]

What language are the ads evenly in?

but it's not. We had this discussion a few weeks ago, I was getting ads for women's clothing. No idea why. After I typed I'd start tracking my ads, I got zero ads for women's clothing.

 

Now, I go thru a business....and about 80% of the people in this office are women, so maybe it tracks at a level of the business?

[Mike Sixel]

Nicely played! PotD so far, for sure.

[MNTSchmitt]

Eddie!!!! Nice way to bring em in. Hated watching us leaving men on base all the time last year. 

[Mike Sixel]

Interrupting your math lesson for today's Spanish:

 

anota=scores. 

[Cap'n Piranha]

 

Nicely played! PotD so far, for sure.

 

Oh yay!  I've never had a PotD before!  Everyone else stop posting good things now!

[Jerr]

Spanish on the Opener and math today, so 162 x 1= 162. Wow, just the season means 162 lessons!!!

 

I am happy that there are no homework assignments.

 

Twins just erased one of those zeros!!!!!!!

[Cap'n Piranha]

Fair warning to the board; I'm working from home today, so my boss will not be able to stop my charge to 1000 total posts.  You all have at least 38 more gems to look forward to.

[SwainZag]

Mmmmmmm crooked number

[woolywoolhouse]

 

What are the odds Santiago keeps up this no-hitter?

 

Don't jinx it!

[MNTSchmitt]

ROSARIO!!!!

[MNTSchmitt]

The bats came today!

[Mike Sixel]

I really hope I get to type roooooonnnnnnnjooooonnnnn here...

[Cap'n Piranha]

All SpongeRob does is draw walks and chew bubblegum.

 

 

And he's all out of bubblegum.

[MNTSchmitt]

Rosario looked good for PR during the WBC. Glad to see the intensity still there. 

[MNTSchmitt]

Walk-A-Thon...bases loaded for the Dozier!

[SwainZag]

I had no idea I missed the simple phrase "In play, run(s)" so much.  Thank god baseball is back to distract me from work

[MNTSchmitt]

Bats and quality plate appearances have been night and day to start the season from last.

[Oldgoat_MN]

After a 4 pitch walk, Dozier swung at 3 pitches.

None were strikes.

Hmmm...

[Danchat]

Good stuff so far. The Royals have been walking us to victory but I'd like to see some big extra base hits from our batters.

[Cap'n Piranha]

Self-tangent; if I chew bubblegum, but don't blow a bubble, is it still bubblegum?  What happens if I blow more than two bubbles while chewing Dubble Bubble?

[MNTSchmitt]

we have what 6 walks and 10 runs to start so far between the first 2 games?
