Just starting to remove the tarp.

Nice, I saw the Twins rough up Johan there in 2010.  Have fun.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Slowly getting within radio zhot of the game...

Rain delay until 730?

[bighat]

Dang Kep, had to lay off that. Nice AB at least seeing some pitches.

[bighat]

Beauty bunt, Polanco!

[Nine of twelve]

 

Since ole' "Riverboat Rocco" is such a gambler tonight, I'd have loved him to go ALL IN and put Cruz in right field while he was at it. Oh well, I'll take A-Stud in the lineup any day of the week. He's the new super-sub!

The pitcher will be pinch hit for at some point in this game. Cruz will get an at-bat.

[nicksaviking]

A couple of well struck balls by Astudillo and Rosario. Encouraging even if intitialy fruitless.

[Blake]

Couple of well struck balls there. 

 

Go Gibson!

Well don’t forget Adrianza is an option as well.

Go Gibson!

Uh freaky. I hope this isn’t a Single White Female situation.

And of course there's Castro...or maybe not.

[Blake]

Good job, Mr. Gibson!

[Blake]

 

Uh freaky. I hope this isn’t a Single White Female situation.

Survey says: Not!

[Nine of twelve]

Waiting for a replay on that. I didn't see it clear the fence.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Good eye, MarGo

[nicksaviking]

Survey says: Not!

I don’t believe you. I heard you too are wearing an undershirt and dress pants just as a I am.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Not sure why Schoop’s in lineup tonight, but go Schoop!

[nicksaviking]

I did the slow-mo; it was legit. I’d guess the give away to the ump was the bounce though. It probably doesn’t ricochet 3/4 the way back to the infield off of the padding.

[Mike Sixel]

Exciting watching a pitcher "hit".

[nicksaviking]

6 pitch at bat from Gibson? That’s a win in my book. Get deGroom out of there.

[jkcarew]

Yeah...46 pitches from DeGrom in 2 innings is sort of a small victory in itself. Hopefully we can take advantage later.

[Nine of twelve]

Mauer would have had that.

[nicksaviking]

Uh freaky. I hope this isn’t a Single White Female situation.

Huh, just realized how dated this movie title is (and my movie reference). I used to have a thing for Bridget Fonda, but why exactly did she require a white roommate?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Mauer would have had that.

or even Cron

[bighat]

Gibson needs to take care of business here, no more nibbling man. Let 'em put it in play and the defense can help you out.

[hybridbear]

3 things

1) Gibson is falling apart now...

2) Mauer would’ve stopped that double that Astudillo let go by.

3) Why is there no strike zone box on the FSN broadcast?

Not Astudillo!

[IndianaTwin]

Per radio guys, Buxton sixth in MLB in exit velocity.

 

From the bat, I assume. Probably first in exit velocity from first base.

[bighat]

Get a run off de Grom, Gibby gives it right up.

 

Gibby reeking of Mike Pelfrey right now.

Too bad he retired

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

nah I have to disagree. But he should go straight after deGrom here.
