Game Thread: Cleveland at Minnesota for the Series, 3/31 @ 1:10 CST

[RedBull34]

Twins are CRUZIN!

[Diesel]

BOOMSTICK ALERT

[operation mindcrime]

Yeeeeeesssssss!!!

[LaBombo]

 

Not sure why they took Pineda out. He was cruising.

 

Erring on the side of caution? Maybe not even erring, just caution.

 

I've not kept up with Baldelli's stated intentions, but Pineda's arm is potentially as fragile as it is powerful at this point. 

[glunn]

Now Rosario needs to get his first hit.

[ashbury]

This would be a good inning for insurance runs..

Be careful what you wish for. You may get it.

 

This was a good wish.

[Aggies7]

i missed byrons double

[glunn]

Rosario swung at some very bad pitches there.

[PseudoSABR]

Bauers got confused there?

[twinssporto]

 

I think this team is going to mash a lot of baseballs this summer barring injuries, etc.  

Kinda prophetic don't you think?  

[ashbury]

After that nice foul catch earlier, Bauers makes Robbie Grossman look like a gold glover on that liner.

[nicksaviking]

i missed byrons double

He looks like he’ll get a few more of them this year.

[PseudoSABR]

Nice to see the lineup knock an Indians starter out of the game for once.

[twinssporto]

 

i missed byrons double

He really is that quick.  You need to pay closer attention.

[RedBull34]

i missed byrons double

It was a Jim Thome Single.

[LaBombo]

In accordance with FAA regulations, the sound barrier was not exceeded.

I got flashbacks of Delmon Young watching that

[glunn]

Now let's load the bases for Astudillo.

[ashbury]

He looks like he’ll get a few more of them this year.

Earl Webb may finally have something to worry about. 67 suddenly doesn't look ridiculously out of reach.

[Blake]

 

i missed byrons double

He did hit the ball rather hard, so, it's understandable.

[ashbury]

It was a Jim Thome Single.

... by legging it out for a bang-bang play.

[operation mindcrime]

Possible All Star if somebody vandalizes his car...

 

Charles Jefferson for Earth, Wind & Fire and little brother!

[Blake]

Very cool, knocking out Carrasco this early.

[Blake]

I'm kind of scratching my head over Astudillo. From what I've read, he seems to be a marginal player, yet, whenever I've watched him play, he seems to hustle and be heads up.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

I think that should be reserved for Green Bay.

booo!

Have you been reading the Indians' website?

[nicksaviking]

Base open for Astudillo. The numbers say give him a free pass. I bet they don’t.

[ashbury]

Nice Marwin slide into third, among other treats in this inning.

[operation mindcrime]

Yeah Schoop!

[glunn]

If the Indians were smarter they would walk Astudillo.
