Article: Series Preview: Twins vs. Angels, 4/15

[Ultima Ratio]

Anyone going to start a thread about how Twins batting coaches ruined Harris? Just look how good he can be.

[snepp]

is anyone posting to the fun with numbers thread to extrapolate on oswaldo's future?

 

g.o.a.t.

[ashbury]

We're really going to trot out Hernandez and his 86 mph lefthanded meatball against all those righthanded boppers? Really? Instead of Hendriks? I preditct 2 of Trout, Pujols, and Trumbo homer off him.

 

Good call. Within experimental error, at least.

[Willihammer]

Alright, Trout stealing 3rd vs. Mauer catching. Sounds like an even matchup.

SSS was his problem here, he can hit enough to be in the majors. I like him as a backup 1B, SS, 3B.

[Riverbrian]

Mastro lead off single... Odds of a stolen base? Anyone

[Willihammer]

Good call. Within experimental error, at least.

 

Yeah, should have looked at the schedule. KC and the sunshine band, Peltrey, then Wurrrrrrrrley.

SSS? ****, shave, shower?

[Riverbrian]

Mastro should be able to score on that

[ashbury]

Yeah, should have looked at the schedule. KC and the sunshine band, Peltrey, then Wurrrrrrrrley.

 

Still, you got that 2 balls would go out (so far), you just picked the wrong sluggers, instead of Bourjos (23 lifetime HR now) and Harris (30). And your guys may still come through.

[glunn]

And now it's time for Doumit to get us a lead.

[Willihammer]

SSS? ****, shave, shower?

 

If only it could be done in that order

[Ultima Ratio]

Doumit is having way too many Hicksish type of ABs this year. That was... bad.

[ashbury]

This game is on pace to be a tie.

 

OK, three innings in, NOW it is safe to say things are shaping up that way.

Bump

[ashbury]

If only it could be done in that order

 

Goes faster if you forget about order entirely.

[Willihammer]

I won't deny a small satisfaction with planting the remains of last night's leftover peking chicken in the men's room a half hour before lunch. You know, when everything works out just right.

[Riverbrian]

Plouffe #2 of 34.

[Willihammer]

Sheesh, is Bert even watching the game? Sorry to interrupt you there, just a Twins home run, no big deal.

[Ultima Ratio]

KC, making a great 1-2 pitch -- right down the middle. #pitchtocontact

[notoriousgod71]

Fairly deep?

 

Are you kidding, Dick? JFC.

[notoriousgod71]

How did JR not sign Blanton?

[ashbury]

Plouffsie!

 

But Arcia's in a slump. Better send him down.

[Riverbrian]

Fairly deep?

 

Are you kidding, Dick? JFC.

 

Gordon was the worst... I actually heard him say..

 

Gordon: "Deep Drive... Way Back... Gagne settles under it... One out".

Carneal: "Lombardozzi"

Gordon: You're right Herb... That was Lombardozzi with the catch. Just a little confusion with the players"

Carneal: and the distance.

[Willihammer]

Pitch it out

[ashbury]

What's the deal with this Jimenez guy playing third for the Angels? He's hit at every level he's been, with power and average, but it took him until age 25 to reach the majors, due to a bad glove? I hope that's not what we have to look forward to with Sano.

[Riverbrian]

Add some routine stuff to That with Florimon and we got a defender.

[snepp]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmaurersie!

[Riverbrian]

Mauer #2 of 28

[diehardtwinsfan]

Mauer is gonna hit 30 this year.
