Spring Training - Game 3 - 3/4 - @Boston Red Sox

[Jim Crikket]

Burton fell behind one hitter 3-0 before getting the ground out on the dive by Chang, but otherwise a very clean inning. Fastball was 90-91 on the NESN gun, but a nice change up or two.

[Twins Fan From Afar]

Hughes almost goes yard there. Well struck, anyway.

[Jim Crikket]

Yep, Hughes struck it well

[Seth Stohs]

Those watching... did Burton throw FB/Cutter? How did it look?

[Jim Crikket]

Parmelee 2 run homer over in the other game

[jamar1700]

Yep, Hughes struck it well

Parmalee did hit one out at almost the same time in the other game

[Jim Crikket]

I didn't notice a ton of movement on Burton's fastball.

[Jim Crikket]

Dumatrait gives up a leadoff double to RF to Pedroia

[Twins Fan From Afar]

And now a walk. 2 on, 1 out for Adrian Gonzalez.

[Thrylos]

And a walk... Still no idea why they re-signed Dumatrait. The only interesting thing would be a Dumatrait throwing to Doumit battery, and that just phonetically...

[Twins Fan From Afar]

Score that 5-6-2-1-2 for the putout at home?

Textbook.

[Thrylos]

Is it too early to cut Doom?

[jamar1700]

that was ugly all the way around

[Jim Crikket]

OK... Im not even sure how to describe that play... but a lot of people screwed up.

[Twins Fan From Afar]

JC, are you still going to do the game chats at Knuckleballs this season?

[Jim Crikket]

Suffice to say that Burroughs did nothing this inning to reinforce the belief that he'd be a defensive upgrade over Valencia.

[Seth Stohs]

For those interested, we've got a Twins Daily Forum for both games.

Yes, that's the plan, as long as we have people show up. Babs and I were discussing last night when we want to do the first one. She and Andrew are down in Ft Myers, but I may open up a chat at Knuckleballs for the game tomorrow night. That's on TV in Minn, right?

Yes, it's supposed to be on FSN. I'll be around for at least part of that one.

Sorry... Ive got a Big Ten basketball game on TV, the Twins on MLB.tv, following the Twins/Rays on Gameday, and this form thread... a second forum thread is a bridge too far for me

[Twins Fan From Afar]

Good to see a successful bunt there.

[Seth Stohs]

Mastroianni lays down the sac bunt and almost beats it out... Gardy's gotta love that!

[Jim Crikket]

Oh and in my spare time, I'm browsing BIG news/stats... prepping for a podcast Im doing a guest spot on tomorrow night to talk about Big Ten basketball heading in to the conf tourney

Ha! I'm struggling listening to both games and trying to post on both forums. Ha!

Middlebrooks respects Revere's arm and stays at first base.

[Twins Fan From Afar]

Middlebrooks respects Revere's arm and stays at first base.

He clearly has read the articles about throwing the football, and is scared.

[Thrylos]

Yeah... and it is a miracle that Vasquez got out of this inning unscratched

[Jim Crikket]

Yeah Vasquez's numbers won't look great and they were kinder than they could have been.

[Thrylos]

BTW, Detroit is killing Atlanta 17-1 after 5 innings

[Twins Fan From Afar]

Did you see Zumaya is getting Tommy John?
