Article: Series Preview: Tigers @ Twins, 4/1

[Ultima Ratio]

How about not so good a pitch with two strikes there Vance

[Brock Beauchamp]

The Twins are trying really hard to keep my productivity up by convincing me to go do some work.

[Halsey Hall]

Maybe not the season, but this game probably is ova.

[AlabamaTwinkie]

I haven't seen a pitcher look more like he is throwing BP then Worley does right now.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Well, that was an ugly play by everyone involved, including the runner.

[Badsmerf]

Florimon should have had that.

[Ultima Ratio]

Oh. My. Goodness.

[GCTF]

Swing and a miss! Thake that Chiefsie.

You've never seen Blackburn pitch?

Ha.

[Guest USAFChief]

Comment not valid. Entry into contest not registered prior to deadline. Since I was the only contest entry, I win!

[Guest USAFChief]

Florimon should have had that.

Or, Mauer could have thrown it to 2nd base. Either way.

You've never seen Blackburn pitch?

I try to keep him as far away from my memory as I can, but still he lingers.

[Ultima Ratio]

Swinging at ball three, these Twins are a riot.

[Badsmerf]

Wow Plouffe got screwed on those calls.

[Mike Sixel]

so for free, I can "watch" the game on cbs on my phone, but can only get box scores and plays on mlb....what is mlb thinking?

[Highabove]

When does Gopher Football start???

Welcome to the obtuse and vexing MLB blackout policy.

[Mike Sixel]

No, it is about the fact that you have to pay to even see balls and strikes, as far as I can tell in my quick looksee on mlb.atbat, but on cbs I can see every pitch on the gamecast. Unless I am missing something, Brock.

 

As for the blackout rules, they are insane. completely and utterly insane. Who cares if I see FSN on a tv or a phone or a computer? It's just so 1986.

Ah, I misunderstood. I thought CBS might be broadcasting the game nationally or something.

 

I'm not a fan of MLB's new policy of charging for GameDay. Too many others offer the service for free. It's a mistake (though one that doesn't impact me personally, as I subscribe to MLB.tv). That's what you're talking about, right?

[Brock Beauchamp]

Oh, COME ON. Could you guys go one inning without doing something clownish?

[Whammy]

Geez, what the opposite of "doing the little things?"

[Guest USAFChief]

New idea for contest: Name the game and inning Worley gets through a frame unscored upon. I'll repeat my earlier guess.

[Brock Beauchamp]

WOW. Okay. Nice glovework, Florimon.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Sigh. At least nobody scored that inning.

[Guest USAFChief]

I win again!

[Ultima Ratio]

Vance almost got Morneau to tear a groin there. Pick it up buddy.

[notoriousgod71]

could not disagree more, I want more interleague play. I wanted to see Bonds live, in person. Why not let people see the best players live?

 

With the way FA is there's very little chance you won't be able to see your favorite player at some point. Otherwise Milwaukee is just a short drive away! I am a traditionalist, however, so I'd like to see no interleague play.

[GCTF]

I win again!

 

Predict the game and inning in which the Twins get a hit.
