Buffoonery, Dick? What are we, chopped clown shoes?

[wsnydes]

 

Bert always gets his California math correct.

California math and the math of the rest of the world aren't always the same.

[wsnydes]

Sounds like some mighty sloppy play by the O's so far.  

[rghrbek]

not sure I like the contact play, especially to the left side of the infield, with a guy who hits it that hard...

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Uff da thank you very much

[Cap'n Piranha]

It sounds like the Baltimore outfield is rather buffoonish thus far today.

good observation

[rghrbek]

Moot point!  That a boy Kep!  He's on fire.

[jimbo92107]

OMG, did Kennys Vargas just prank Sano? He didn't give him the arms up sign! Hahahaha!

[Cap'n Piranha]

Tillman is averaging 11 pitches per out.  At this rate, the Orioles will need to throw 297 pitches to complete today's game.

Given what happened Monday with Baltimore's disappearing 5-0 lead, I'd prefer it if the Twins went from 4-0 straight to 6-0

 

 

didn't happen boo

[ashbury]

And once again, Mauer fails to drive in a run.

Too bad it didn't happen there, but I agree.  That ball park is a bit of a band box....

Because solo acts aren't allowed?

Seems like an inefficient use of a box big enough for a band.

[ashbury]

Polanco - what can't this man do?

[TwinsCD]

Random jersey sightings on the Orioles broadcast -- people sitting side-by-side, one wearing Span, the other wearing Cuddyer.

Not if the band is Tyrion Lannister and Friends.

[rghrbek]

That pitch was filthy...filthy like a snake to end that inning.

[jimbo92107]

Good grief, Morris was talking to Santana for about two minutes, and Berrios is already done with the inning. That's pretty quick. 

[wsnydes]

Would that even be considered a solo act?

The efficiency that this version of Berrios is exhibiting is impressive.  

[Cap'n Piranha]

No that's the band, but one that would take up approximately the same amount of space as certain solo acts, such as classic John Popper.

[jimbo92107]

Not sure what's up with Rosario. He doesn't look good at the plate. He's swinging a lot, but at the wrong pitches. 

[Darius]

Just caught Berrios' second in info in my lunch break. He looks great again.

 

Something I noticed about him is that he looks different physically than he did last year. He's a brick s-house. Last year he still looked like a kid.

[John Kelsey]

This is nothing new. 

[jimbo92107]

Twins needed to make Tillman throw more pitches. Don't swing at everything, make him throw strikes!

[jimbo92107]

 

This is nothing new. 

True, but usually Rosario swings at the wrong pitches with more confidence. Right now he doesn't look confident, just worried.

From the field (seats right behind 1B) update:

 

Vargas during warmups:

1)Barehands a throw from Dozier one inning

2)Bounces one off his bicep before starting warmup tosses the next inning

 

Definitely got a little Big Papi vibe going.

 

Also,4-1, Hardy HR
