So I came in just in time to see some nasty stuff and a quick inning? You are mkre than welcome. (I bow humbly)

Pineda's uniform doesn't have a tilde over the "n."

Baseball Reference says his names is pronounced without it.

Why all of a sudden has Dick Bremer, Master of World Cultures, become to say Piñeda?

You are correct, Doctor. Big 4th inning for our heroes. Pineda gave up 3 solo shots.

Here is a funny review of today's Indians/Orioles fiasco from a pretty funny guy.

 

I actually was watching that game live. 

 

I've always believed that you beat any major league team, it's a win, and all wins are to be valued and treasured. I've never bought into "well, it's just Miami, or Baltimore, or insertteamthat'sbadthisyearhere, so it doesn't mean anything."

 

All big league teams are tough to beat, and the margins are incredibly thin in MLB.

 

But watching Baltimore...yeah, that's not a MLB team. The pitching is so incredibly bad, it's almost fun to watch.

 

 

[DocBauer]

Hawk in the booth?

Send Vogleback to where he came from.

 

 

hahahahahahahahahahaha. I kill me.

I like looking up translations. Vogelbach means "Bird Creek." Kind of pretty, I bet.

[Don Walcott]

Hawk in the booth?

Yup.

[DiscGolfer]

I see more homers coming soon

[operation mindcrime]

First year back from surgery. Always felt he'd round in to form but would take a while. Any fellow believers?

Like the X-Files I want to believe!!!

HATE THAT! B.S.! Buuuut....if you only do that in 6+....hard to be angry. I mean, it will catch up to you, but at the same time, hard to be angry. Still thinking a couple more games we might see a "normal" career Pineda. If our biggest worry, in the rotation, is Pineda rounding in to form, Twins life looks pretty good, right?

Sano doesn't look any lighter than last year, does he?

[Mill1634]

Sano looked like he didn’t miss a beat in that last at bat!

[Mill1634]

Sano doesn't look any lighter than last year, does he?

I was thinking the opposite. He looks lighter to me.

[MNT1996]

Gotta give Sano a couple games to adjust

Dick is a graduate of Staples HS, and St Cloud State University. I'd say that makes him more than qualified to teach us all a thing or two about the Spanish language.

Good one.

But did you know that Staples is the only town (so far as I know) that has sold the rights to its name?

 

[USAFChief]

Alright ladies and germs, bring this one home. Off to bed. I expect chicken for breakfast.

Ya think?

 

(Tongue in cheek sarcasm to whoever, not you)

[USAFChief]

I think Facebook, Arkansas did as well.

[Danchat]

Pineda has had some problems with solo HRs recently, but outside of that he's been solid. He seems to have command over his pitches, with zero walks thus far (and I think he had 0 in his last start?). I'd keep throwing him out there and see if he improves.

[snepp]

 

I think Facebook, Arkansas did as well.

 

Not just the name of the town, every last ounce of resident information as well.

[Mill1634]

Very good outing. Exactly what we needed after this past series. Should have a shot to get Austin Adams in the game too.

[MNT1996]

Great outing from Pineda. Only 5 hits, no walks, and 7 innings. Gotta work on keeping the ball in the ball park though

[Don Walcott]

Good one.

Ever heard of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico? Yeah, it’s a thing.

[DocBauer]

Personal reflection and memory:

 

Always HATED the West coast swings because the internet and streaming didn't exist through the 80's, 90's and early 2000's. I used to play with antennas on radios and hide in my car listening through static on 57.0 WNAX Yankton to pick apart what I could.

 

This is like Magic!

[Blake]

Another step forward for Mr. Pineda?

 

Great to see him go 7.

[DiscGolfer]

7 innings, nice outing to build off of.

Yup, used to be called Hot Springs. Wish they'd change their name back (but that's just me).

[operation mindcrime]

Yeah Polanco!!!!
