There's very little I hate more than swinging at the first pitch of an inning.

[snepp]

Nice job Eddie.

[Mill1634]

Heads up play by Eddie the Stick.

[snepp]

Buxton has a .650 OPS in his last 10 plate appearances, unfortunately it's buoyed by an unsustainable .500 BABIP.

[Aggies7]

Great hustle my goodness

[Aggies7]

Hey young man, 2-0 pitch, take the bunt off

[USAFChief]

 

Nice job Eddie.

Yup...and nice job of lollygagging by Gomez in CF until he saw the ball get past the infield.

[diehardtwinsfan]

ok, now I'm pissed.  they have the game at the bar down stairs (which closes shortly) but everyone wants to watch the Rockets...  But in my room, we apparently don't get that channel.

[snepp]

Nice job Byron.

Welcome to Texas! Thought I would try the bar a short walk away, but everyone wants to watch the Spurs... Ugh.

I dunno...might be fun

But what if it's Joe Mauer swinging at the first pitch of an inning? Then does it offset this board's hatred of Mauer taking every single first pitch?

[Aggies7]

We've got to score against this mountain man.

[snepp]

Bah.

No

A good team and Cashner's taking a shower by now.

[BoofBonser]

Runners left on base is so frustrating!!!!!!

[Squirrel]

OK, ladies and gents, I was called in from the bullpen to create a game thread, so here it is.

And a good relief effort it was!

 

For all who participate here, you may get the call. Be ready! (And don't tell me no, either, or I'll sik Chief on you!)

[Aggies7]

We should have three runs at this point, as I arbitrarily assume

Phrasing, Chi.

 

Phrasing.

[Squirrel]

Phrasing, Chi.

 

Phrasing.

I already edited ... not soon enough. Eh, whatever. It's a scary thought either way, so the threat still works.

[Aggies7]

Ewwww

[USAFChief]

 

Ewwww

Indeed.

If anyone could sustain it, Byron would be the guy. I certainly think a BABIP of .350 is easily sustainable with his speed.

It's that tricky "IP" part giving him trouble.

Here's a math word problem:

If Cashner sucks, and the Twins can't cash in on Cashner, what are the Twins?
