Doesn't matter if you strike out the side!

 

It's way too easy to chalk this up to his growing up by about 5 years after that cracked rib incident, but that's the direction I'm going with this anyway. Good start to his season.

Aaron Hicks for the game so far: 2 walks, 2 runs, 2 outs to third base. OBP=.500, SLG=.000, OPS=.500. Good game in some respects, but if he gets sent down he may mutter the old Metrodome mantra: Walks Will Haunt.

Why would you ever throw Mauer anything other than a strike on pitch 1? Obviously the Angels have never heard of Sabermetrics either!

Don't worry Dickbert, we'll give Swarzie a "sabermetric save" for you.

 

Since Perkins is coming in, I think these are called "holds".

Cybermetronerds call them "shutdowns."

This rough ending to the ninth inning is my fault. I put up a victory avatar prematurely. Won't happen again.

Yeah I got the Angels broadcast too. I had just popped over to FSN+ to check in on our local hockey club, and came back to that instead of Dick and Bert. It made for a weird 9th inning. Things got a little too close for comfort at the end there, but a W nonetheless.

 

And now the Wild just gave up 2 quick goals in the third and it's 5-3 instead of 5-1. Dammit.

 

My expectations for the 2013 are still not high, but I think this team will be a great deal more watchable than it was the last couple of years. Hopefully it's a step towards a return to relevance next year.

Bullpen has hasn't been taxed the last few days, so Swarzak going that long was a surprise. Probably just letting a guy on a roll stay out there, but maybe Gardy wanted to see if he could sustain that level for future reference.

Yeah Pujols doesn't survive the zombie apocolypse either.

 

Yeah but he takes he takes a big bat to a bunch of them, hitting 33 percent of the time and probably brains 40ish zombies with it before going down.

Gardy: Mastro in a walking shoe.

 

 

You know, what shoes are intended for

 

Walking over to the disabled list check-in line?

The mental image of that just sent me into a fit of laughter...oh good lord that was funny.
