Game Thread: Twins @ Royals, 4/10 - 7:10pm

[Alex]

Not a good night for math so far. SSS.

 

Teams like the Twins and Royals defy the odds.

It's the mist...

Listening to dick/bert talk about Detroit I swear they are doing their best http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-mMBbwErd59k/Tnkxr0xXsII/AAAAAAAAAO8/FZ3dFxYavTo/s1600/article-1005361-00C3FFBE00000578-7_468x328.jpg[/image] impression

[Milkman]

Well that worked :s

[LaBombo]

ftfy. And I'm picturing Dick as the angry eyebrow dude on the right, what with his min-rants about the official scoring and umpiring so far.

[Milkman]

First fify that was literal and appreciated.

[Ultima Ratio]

Stolen base, error? Who wants to take a stab at that one? Unbelievable.

 

Where's chief when you need application of clear and easily understood scoring rules?

[LaBombo]

Hicksie dodges the sombrero, at least.

[Milkman]

That didn't just really happen? ........the mist? When do we get huge spiders and what not

[LaBombo]

NP, and good work on your choice of visual.

[ashbury]

First fify that mentioned my mother.

[glunn]

This would be a good inning for the Twins to score at least two runs.

[Milkman]

son of buckninety, is that you?

[ashbury]

How long until a What's Wrong With Mauer thread?

[stringer bell]

Mssrs. Mauer and Morneau are not hitting the ball well. Twins chances diminish to near nothing when the heart of the order is dormant. How many hard hit balls have those two combined to hit? I would say less than 10. On a related note, I don't think Morneau will ever be what he once was, meaning his Twins' career will (and should) end either at the trading deadline or the close of his season.

[stringer bell]

Hendriks only goes five. One run in five isn't bad, but he really showed the need for an out pitch.

[notoriousgod71]

Hendricks is finally pitching well for the first time in his career and they take him out after five???

I hear yah, but I'm good with too early instead of too late for a guy like Liam who needs a good outing to build his confidence.

[stringer bell]

Hendriks stays in the rotation..yes or no?

High pitch count and the team has a day off tomorrow, so not a big worry regarding using up the pen.

[Alex]

Just like Hicks planned it.

[GCTF]

Lost it in the roof.

[Ultima Ratio]

Hit.

[snepp]

For a moment there I thought the Twins were the ones in the field.

Bert: Strong swing of Morneau: drink

[IdahoPilgrim]

Way to waste a lead-off "double". When you get gifts like that, you have to capitalize on them.

Seriously seems like I've seem more misplayed easy flyballs these first three series than in half a season, and we don't even have Delmon out there.

94 is not a high pitch count.

[notoriousgod71]

Go bullpen.

[Aaron Cross]

Nine games in, and this team is a certified embarassment.
