Wasn't Cron one of the dark gods of the Conan series?

 

Just checked: It was Crom. Never mind.

Worst slide ever

Coming out of rehab.

Bet she's still got the fastball, yeah baby!

[diehardtwinsfan]

why in the world was Cron trying to steal?

[LVTwinsfan]

Players continue to pop up after sliding into the base and they always leave the base when they do. Just stay down and call time. Stupid play by Cron

wild pitch

Two things I've been meaning to say...

 

1. Watching Gibby and Pineda is a chore, as they both take forever to rock and fire. Pitchers should catch the ball, get the sign, and then pitch. Work fast! It keeps batters off-balance and fielders on their toes. This advice works for every level of baseball, from Little League to the World Series.

 

2. Thanks to all who still do Circus Boy updates. I'm not around a computer during game times much anymore, so when I am, it's nice to get the score.

 

That is all.

A Circus Boy Circus Boy Update.

He wasn't. Wild pitch.

 

He was safe, but came off the bag.

[diehardtwinsfan]

nice quick inning...

[USAFChief]

The shift giveth, and taketh away.

[diehardtwinsfan]

Hoping Gibby can get his season ERA under 4 after this game.

[USAFChief]

Good crowd on hand. Nice to see.

[wabene]

Hoping Gibby can get his season ERA under 4 after this game.

Some of us just can't help rooting for the Nibbler.

Worst slide ever

Kent Hrbek says hello!!!!

[LVTwinsfan]

Hoping Gibby can get his season ERA under 4 after this game.

I don’t think five shutout innings will be enough, maybe next week

[diehardtwinsfan]

the double play giveth. the double play taketh away.

[operation mindcrime]

Way to go Astudillo!!!

Hoping he makes it more than 5. Only has 24 pitches going into the 3rd, so pitching into the 6th/7th should be fine if he continues to pitch well.

I expect a complete game shutout!!! \m/

[Mike Sixel]

How is that a double? This is why ERA is meaningless.... On the plus side, yay!

[operation mindcrime]

ASTUDILLO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just saw that Fernando Rodyney was DFA'd by Oakland.

I don't know if we need the FR experience this year.

[VATwinsFan]

Good to get Abreu's HR out of the way with no one on base.

No insinuation, merely an observation regarding a former Twin.

[USAFChief]

It was a double because no fielder could get his glove on it.

 

And ERA isn't meaningless.

[70charger]

I think I showed up an hour late to this game. I thought it was at 3 eastern, but here we are in the fourth.

 

I see we have two runs - does that mean we got two home runs? We're not back to scoring runs the slow way are we?

 

[John Kelsey]

Mauer woulda had it. 

[USAFChief]

 

Mauer woulda had it. 

Mauer wouldn't be playing a day game after a night game.

[adorduan]

Twins have been kind of sloppy in the field the last few games.....
