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

[Milkman]

Did that fan have a "turn ahead the clock" jersey?!?!

[Willihammer]

Kevin Correia, Power Pitcher.

 

Good outing.

[IdahoPilgrim]

I never thought I'd be saying this, but so far Correia is looking like one of the bright spots this year.

[Riverbrian]

101 Pitches... That'll probably be it. It's too bad cuz he only went Seven innings.

 

Now he won't get credit next year when someone posts in 2014 that he only threw OVER 7 innings once or whatever the number is in 2013.

Hard to argue with what he's done so far.

C'mon, nobody who posts in these forums would be that petty, would they?

[Ultima Ratio]

Another great outing for KC, keep it up fella.

[Willihammer]

They started playing "when the levee breaks" before switching pitchers. Went to commercial, came back, the song was still playing. Is that normal? If not, it should be. At least for Plouffe.

I had to go work for 75 minutes or so and am glad to see that the Twins are winning and that the thread is filled with joy. Now I am going to drive home with a very positive attitude and hopefully catch the 9th inning.

Top Down California Style?

When the Levee Breaks is over 7 minutes long. It can fill a pitching change... And a Mike Hargrove at bat.

[TheLeviathan]

How many more times do we have to hear about Torii's leadership? How much "leadership" does it take to punch Nick Punto? That's straight from the Gardy playbook.

Change for the better - progress - identifying breaking pitches in the dirt and laying off

[ashbury]

Hard to argue with what he's done so far.

 

And of course the matchup being against Blanton put TR's off-season decision-making on the line. Score one more for him.

[Willihammer]

Hicks is fantastic once he gets on base. Who'd have guessed?

[Ultima Ratio]

Let's see a suicide squeeze here, just for fun.

BTW, I like the pinch hitting move by Gardy. Let the new guy go to sleep with a 1-3 debut. .333, that's Hall of Fame stuff, right kid? Good game.

[snepp]

Pedro Florimon, Proven Run Producer™.

[Ultima Ratio]

Was Dozier running on that pitch? How does he make it from first to score on that a stretched double?

And giving Hicks a very low pressure AB. Hope to see many more low pressure ABs in the 9 hole for Hicks.

With the exception of that play in left in the 7th. Still, he can go to bed happy and be satisfied with the debut.

[ashbury]

The Florimonster!

 

So, who mops up in the ninth? Fien? Pressly?

[ashbury]

I was at dinner. Doesn't count.

Top Down California Style?

Moonroof only -- the convertible needs an engine rebuild that I never have time to accomplish.

[Willihammer]

Its amazing how many runs the Twins can score when their 7-8-9 hitters join the party.

[glunn]

Nice catches by Mastro and Dozier. Now only one last Angel to retire.

[ashbury]

I just figured out the proper use for my favorite avatar: Victory celebration!

[glunn]

That was a very nice win. Let's hope that the Twins can keep playing like this.

She indeed makes great icing on the cake. She was also pretty effective in making me feel less bad when the Twins were playing the Mets.

I expect she can solve many problems.
