Article: Series Preview: Twins vs Marlins, 4/23 - 1:10pm

[big dog]

Cheap swinging bunt there- Plouffe made a decent play but he was too deep. Set up the DP anyway. KC rockin'.

[Guest USAFChief]

Singles-'type' hitter.

 

 

 

Drink.

Whew. It's getting tough to keep up with you. And Bert. Hopefully there's nap time between games, or I may not make it.

[Gibby]

Singles-'type' hitter.

 

 

Drink.

 

Done. This is looking like a drunken Tuesday with the double header.

[snepp]

Attaboy Dozierzie.

[Brock Beauchamp]

BALLSY.

 

Nice way to leg that out, Brian.

[big dog]

OK, this is a whole different Brian Dozier than I saw last year. I like this model a lot better. He's having fun.

[Ultima Ratio]

Hells yeah.

[kydoty]

Dozier seems to be settling into that leadoff spot nicely.

[Gibby]

Do we drink when Bert says "at the major league level" too, or is that unreasonable?

[Riverbrian]

Let's get a run and let Correia hold it.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Do we drink when Bert says "at the major league level" too, or is that unreasonable?

 

If you're feeling suicidal, go for it.

[Gibby]

Catcher framed that ball nicely.

[Ultima Ratio]

So, not going to score the lead-off triple now.

[snepp]

Do we drink when Bert says "at the major league level" too, or is that unreasonable?

 

Drink, yes, but at the risk of potential overdose I have to caution sips.

[Ultima Ratio]

Alllllmost.

[big dog]

Drink, yes, but at the risk of potential overdose I have to caution sips.

 

Yeah, I think people should start with "California math" and gradually work up to "at the major league level". A human can only take so much.

[Gibby]

Why are they flashing advertisements on the batters eye in the middle of a pitch?

[snepp]

Yeah, I think people should start with "California math" and gradually work up to "at the major league level". A human can only take so much.

 

And of course for the professionals among us, there's "a good downward plane" and "upper-cut swing."

[big dog]

Whatever KC threw for that swinging third strike was a sweet pitch- low with a lot of break to it.

[PseudoSABR]

Dickbert just chatted about how Marlins ownership made Redmond switch Fernandez and Nolasco. What's that all about? Will Nolasco really draw better primetime ratings er something?

[big dog]

And of course for the professionals among us, there's "a good downward plane" and "upper-cut swing."

 

If you ran a bar you'd be liable for over-serving.

 

 

And KC is out of the second. Routine play for Florimon, terrible throw, great catch and stretch by Dozier.

Along with dropping the barrel of the bat, and that's an out in Oakland.

Nice

[Brock Beauchamp]

Aaaaaaaaaand another walk for Hicks.

[Ultima Ratio]

That is a good AB, don't care about "hitting" if he's walking.

[Gibby]

Aaaaaaaaaand another walk for Hicks.

 

I don't understand how pitchers are not aggressive with that guy.

[PseudoSABR]

KC!

[big dog]

and the Doze with a solid liner up the middle.

[Guest USAFChief]

Close play at second. For all the crap we give umpires, they get an amazing percentage correct.
