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

[Gibby]

That catch was an adventure.

[Don't Feed the Greed Guy]

I originally thought the same thing, but we've only played like 4 games in the last 10 days.

 

Good point, and an off day tomorrow. Still, I'd like to see him go nine.

[IdahoPilgrim]

Wow, KC is making the pre-season pundits looks foolish. I'm sure we'll see him in the 8th.

[big dog]

Corriea through 7, 5 hits, 1 BB, 5 K's, 2 ER. Not too shabby, KC. Pitch count under 90. The only way Gardy takes him out in the 8th is if the Twins bat around and he freezes stiff on the bench.

Yeah, I would too...as would Bert.

Is it healthy/wise for a reliever to pitch/warm-up in both games of a split doubleheader? I honestly don't know, but they may want to avoid the bullpen just for that.

[Guest USAFChief]

Alright, let's get some runs. Judging from the dugout response, looks like Corriea might be done.

[big dog]

aaaaaaand I'm wrong- Bert says they are taking him out. Dick says the pen needs work.

 

Did I mention I'm happy with Dozier???

[Don't Feed the Greed Guy]

Andy just gave him the pat on the back... And does it look like Gardy has found himself a leadoff hitter?

[70charger]

Dozier's looking good.

 

And it isn't just his hair.

Who knows. Pitchers sure seem fragile in this era.

Hey now...there are 12 yr olds reading this site.

Me too, Big Dog. Guess that's why we're making the big bucks!

[Gibby]

We don't get picked off on the bases so much now that Span is gone.

I have to question this - you have a starter tonight (Pelfrey) who has only pitched 12+ innings over 3 starts - you might need the bullpen, a lot of it, tonight.

[big dog]

Just lost the sound on my MLB.com broadcast. I'm enjoying the game more. Hmmm....

[ashbury]

Steven Wright.

 

Yes, but I wouldn't want to paint him.

[Guest USAFChief]

Yes, but I wouldn't want to paint him.

Robin Williams?

[ashbury]

Where's the sunshine Ashbury?

 

Whoa!!! My bad. KC seems to be doing all right without it, but one mustn't tempt fate and assume things will continue well.

[ashbury]

Robin Williams?

 

No, he's afraid of widths.

[Gibby]

Guess they shouldn't have gone to the pen.

[Guest USAFChief]

Ruh-roh. Go ahead run at the plate.

[snepp]

WTF is going on here?

[big dog]

OK, like I said, Correia should be out for the 8th...

[Gibby]

That had to hurt.

[Guest USAFChief]

Ruh-roh. Go ahead run on first base.

[IdahoPilgrim]

Lesson to be learned: If your starter is pitching effectively and has a low pitch count, you leave him in - you don't pull him just so the bullpen can get some innings.

[Don't Feed the Greed Guy]

Let the second-guessing begin, but not by Dick and Bert.

[Guest USAFChief]

Nice play Floor-E-moan.
