Twins vs. Angels, 4/16 - 7:10pm

[Ultima Ratio]

Looking at this on the internet it appears that the ump is calling balls when Pelfrey is throwing strikes.

It's just a glitch.

[TheLeviathan]

So, going to be one of those awesome 5 hour games tonight eh?

[glunn]

Vargas has thrown 71 pitches. Let's hope he starts throwing some meatballs.

[ashbury]

It's just a glitch.

 

Or a son of one.

[snepp]

Florimon's "skills" on display again.

 

 

It's a good thing he's been hitting like Jeter.

[Guest USAFChief]

Not really a tough hop, Floor-E-Moan.

[Guest USAFChief]

Outfield play is overrated by the average fan. Infield play is incredibly important.

Jeter wishes. sss

[glunn]

I am going home now to watch the Angels broadcast. I hope that the Twins are ahead when I get there.

Florigroan?

I am going home now to watch the Angels broadcast. I hope that the Twins are ahead when I get there.

 

Good job. Don't forget your pompoms.

[GCTF]

Enjoy your evening with the Rally Monkey.

[GCTF]

Thanks Trumbo.

[edavis0308]

Mauer doesn't hit enough home runs.

[stringer bell]

Three really good at-bats for Dozier. Maybe the Twins lucked into a good leadoff hitter? Of course, maybe Vargas isn't very good.

[snepp]

Outfield play is overrated by the average fan. Infield play is incredibly important.

 

 

Perhaps it's not the outfield play being overrated, but the infield play being underrated.

 

[GCTF]

For a nanosecond I had a 5 Castro nightmare.

[Willihammer]

There is no bigger crisis for the defense than a popup hit directly at the pitcher.

Bert: "I don't like sabermetrics..." "....but it did help me get into the Hall of Fame".

[nicksaviking]

Listening to Dick and Bert talk about Sabrmetrics. Bert got into the Hall because of these stats and then implies they are useless? Surprised Dick said he thinks they are useful. He likely knows more about them than Terry Ryan.

Bert: "I don't like sabermetrics..." "....but it did help me get into the Hall of Fame".

 

Yeah he seemed to have no idea what he was talking about. He just kind of rambled. "They say that if Trout can keep up his statistics from last year he'll be ah...he'll be the next Mickey Mantle." So there you go...sabermetrics are the things that tell you Mike Trout is a really good baseball player.

Scary numbers are scary.

[big dog]

I'm surprised to see Pelfrey get through five after the last couple of innings. Sit him down and get him the win. Mauer's at .382 and Doh-mitt has two hits. Good things happenin.

[buckninetyone]

bottom of the 53rd

[GCTF]

bottom of the 53rd

 

I have to admit this sabr stat has me a bit confused.

[Willihammer]

Call Arcia back up!

[B Richard]

What happened to Wilkin? Anyone see?

[snepp]

Call Arcia back up!

 

After Ramirez remains day-to-day and unable to play for over a week, of course.

[kydoty]

Hicks is the only healthy natural outfielder on the team right now.
