Spring Training - Game 22 - 3/22 - @NYY

[Thrylos]

Nice Bomb half way up the RF wall by Morneau... Nice to see

[Gernzy]

Then Willingham makes it 2-0

[Thrylos]

Thrylos, spit up a little laughing with the "hopefully Liriano can overcome Butera catching" instead of Rivera. Looks like he's doing just fine, an omen, I hope, for the entire year no matter who's catching.

Agreed!!!!

[Thrylos]

That was a no-doubter

[WYTwinsFan]

Can I overreact about Morneau's double? WOOHOO!! He's back!!!!

 

Okay, I'm done.

[Twins Fan From Afar]

Can I overreact about Morneau's double? WOOHOO!! He's back!!!!

 

Okay, I'm done.

Everyone should be overreacting to this!

[Thrylos]

FranKKKKKie is up to 94 with his fastball but K's Jones with a change down the middle

[Thrylos]

Nunez double was a ground rule bloop out of the reach of Dinkelman

[Thrylos]

Butera lets Nunez steal third. Very late and weak throw

[Ultima Ratio]

Nunez double was a ground rule bloop out of the reach of Dinkelman

Would Willingham have gotten it?

[Seth Stohs]

Morneau's 2B allows us to get back to being excited about Mauer, Morneau, Willingham in the middle of the lineup!

[Thrylos]

Frankie jams Hall with a slider inside and Doumit get the pop up by the Yankee dugout 2 outs 56 total pitches

[Seth Stohs]

... if only for the moment!

[Thrylos]

FranKKKKKie get the ground out to Burroughs (who double pumps the throw to 1st and gets the runner Maxwell out by a foot. Twins up 2-0. 58 total pitches in 5 innings.

[Twins Fan From Afar]

Wow, thrylos, congrats on becoming a Big-Leaguer with your 500th comment!

I think I am still stuck in single-A.

[Thrylos]

Florimon looks really over-matched at the plate. I suspect that he will be assigned to the minors soon. Nice single by Doumit

[Thrylos]

Morneau's fly ball out was a foot short off the warning track.

[Thrylos]

Willingham's ground rule double landed at the Twins' pen and almost got the bullpen catcher (Number 89 - have no idea who that is)

[Thrylos]

Nice single by Burroughs to get the runs home with 2 outs. Battled a lot of pitches. Great PA.

[Thrylos]

Manship in and gives up a very long fly ball to Romero Pena (LHB) on the first pitch an 85mph something or another (straight) in the lower middle of the plate

[Gernzy]

Morneau is really getting a hold of the ball today. Hope this is a sign of things to come.

[Thrylos]

I think that that 84 mph pitch that Manship threw for a home run was a FB. His off-speed stuff is at 75-76

[Twins Fan From Afar]

What did Liriano's line end up being?

[Thrylos]

Manships FB is 84-86... very concerning.

[Thrylos]

what did liriano's line end up being?

5 ip 4 h 1 bb 5 k

[Thrylos]

That was a bomb to the LF by Nunez...

[Twins Fan From Afar]

5 ip 4 h 1 bb 5 k

Thanks. Very solid, again. And the top half of NY's lineup was good today.

[Thrylos]

Missed a HR by 3 inches... I just do not like Manship's chances to make the team right now. That 84-86 FB velocity on the same gun that got Liriano at 94 is concerning.

[Mr. Ed]

If Manship is not hitting much speed? Pass. Sorry dude, but that speed is not going to cut it.

[Thrylos]

Manship did not get anyone out and allowed 3 runs so far in the inning. Hollimons "error" was a smoked line drive on the 3B line. Announcers said should be a hit. Burton in. Very disappointing outing
