Game Thread: Twins vs. Mariners, 4/7/18 @ 1:10pm CT

[Huddy]

Moya's hair looks like a hat.

[Danchat]

Solid outing for Moya, getting 4 of 5 of the better Mariners batters out. Too bad he'll be likely be shipped to AAA when Hughes gets called up.

[Mill1634]

Finally, a hard (ish) hit ball lands for a hit

[Mill1634]

6th inning sure seems like the Twins inning so far this year

[Eris]

I do like the strategy of having the relief pitchers throw more than 1 inning. It should have the effect of keeping the bullpen arms fresher throughout the season. I hope this continues.

[twinssporto]

 

Welp. 

 

Mariners not hitting the ball hard at all, and they have 5 runs.

 

Twins crushing the ball and can't buy a hit

Its the cold air.  If it was above freezing we'd already have 4 homers.

[Mill1634]

Nice to see Eddie hitting the ball hard

[Huddy]

Que Morrison pop up.

[twinssporto]

I like this new Mariners reliver Marc Ruyhdvhr7rhbjhfgksbxvyrski

[Danchat]

Never mind with this Kinley stuff, here come the bats! Let's make this one a ballgame again!

[Mill1634]

Morrison seems to have a little Eddie "I swing at everything" Rosario in him

[Huddy]

 

Que Morrison pop up.

Or that......

[twinssporto]

 

Que Morrison pop up.

I'm choosing to look at the glass as half full.  At least he didn't ground into a DP.

[Squirrel]

Heh, this is why I love Rosario.

[twinssporto]

I hope Escobar makes Rzjhdgjndbvfjdhvuhksjdncaksdcyfvifski throw 40 more times

[Mill1634]

The Eduardo for Eddie hit! woo. 

[Danchat]

Eddie Escobar with the clutch hit!!

[Mill1634]

No Molly....don't hit Grossman for Kepler. Don't like that move at all. 

[Blake]

 

No Molly....don't hit Grossman for Kepler. Don't like that move at all. 

Yeah, that was my thought. Okay, that was the pg version of my thought.

[Danchat]

 

No Molly....don't hit Grossman for Kepler. Don't like that move at all. 

Yeah... I don't like it because they're not keeping the lefty in there. Now they have a new reliever who matches up better against Grossman.

[Squirrel]

My favorite Eddies get it done.

[Huddy]

Momentum = Killed

[Mill1634]

Molly trying to be too smart with that move. Let Kepler hit. Anyone could see that they aren't going to leave the lefty in to face Robbie. It's one at bat. Kepler can't learn to hit lefties if he doesn't see them

[Huddy]

Que 3 sliders to Buck

[Mill1634]

Buck looks all sort of screwed up. Can't remember him hitting the ball on a line at all. His leg kick has also disappeared late in counts. 

[Squirrel]

Agree. Plus Kep has been doing much better so far this year.

[Huddy]

Yep.... the at bat would've been competitive at least... and Buck possibly could've ended up facing the lefty.

[Mill1634]

Smart play there by Eduardo 

[shs_59]

I Really hope Logan Morrison proves me wrong. But I've Never Liked his Swiss Cheese Bat. He's a Swiss army knife in the worst way. There are more holes in his bat than a mouse bitten piece of stinky Swiss Cheese... As a Mariner and even a T.B. Ray last year I loved when our pitchers got to face him... Easy out or K. Maybe a long long foul ball once in a while. Kenny's Vargas should be getting these AB's fairly soon if Lo Mo or LoL Mo can't at least start drawing walks like he's supposed to be doing. Hack away LoMo but not 3 + times a game.

[Nine of twelve]

Welp.

That's beisbol.
