Game Thread: Twins @ White Sox, 4/21 1:10pm

Hawk: "10-12 years ago if the Twins had spent any money they could have won three or four championships."

 

...said the guy who fired Tony LaRussa.

That inning ended well with the easy double play. I am leaving in a minute to pick up brunch, which increases the likelihood of the Twins scoring so long as I don't turn on the DVR.

OK, it's Gavin Freakin' Floyd, ferpetesakes. Let's put an inning together.

[Gibby]

I'm amazed we won any at all.

Stone: "No doubt."

 

Assuming they dont spend money the way the White Sox do.

They don't deliver in Cali?

[Riverbrian]

They don't deliver in Cali?

 

and they have Brunch at noon?

[Guest USAFChief]

Tremendous AB, Justin.

Error chief?

[Riverbrian]

Tremendous AB, Justin.

 

I didn't think so... Lacked Patience... Was flailing away at pitchers pitches.

 

oh... You were being sarcastic...

[Guest USAFChief]

Dick wants Keppinger to bunt in the 4th inning. Let's hope he does.

[Gibby]

Have we scored first in any game this season?

[Guest USAFChief]

There's a gift run.

[Guest USAFChief]

Have we scored first in any game this season?

Yes. Record is 1-2 when scoring first.

[glunn]

They don't deliver in Cali?

 

It's a 5 minute walk each way.

[Riverbrian]

Not sure why the Sox did that.

[Ultima Ratio]

Mauer doesn't throw Rios out there. #DoumitISdefensivereplacement.

[Guest USAFChief]

Whew. Out of the inning with a little assist from Ventura.

[big dog]

Thanks, Adam. Thanks, Robin.

[Reginald Maudling's Shin]

They seriously called that routine fly ball a hit? I think I could play errorless OF in MLB today. I wouldn't get to anything, but if its off your glove and not an error?

[Guest USAFChief]

Another great AB. Up 2-0 in the count and try to pull ball three for a weak tapper to first.

[Riverbrian]

Whew. Out of the inning with a little assist from Ventura.

 

That had to be Rios thinking he's invisible. I can't believe Ventura would call that in that situation.

You're probably right. Looked at the replay and the trail runner wasn't going.

[Reginald Maudling's Shin]

I'm hoping Bruno helps with this. They have a lot of hitters who aren't very selective.

I'll bet that after review, tonight or tomorrow, the official scorer will change it to an error, as it should be. But, without looking at this, it may be that errors-to-hit reversals are more likely that hit-to-error changes.

OKAY! Hicks, Escobear, Carroll!! Sounds like runs!

[Riverbrian]

Just Watch!

[big dog]

SSSSSSSSS-cobar!!!!!!!!

[Gibby]

Here comes a run.

Ducks on the pond for Mauer.
