Game Thread: Twins @ Indians, 5/4 - 12:05pm

If baseball started allowing appeals for balls and strikes, I'd stop watching.

 

Worst. Idea. Ever.

[edavis0308]

I'd like an appeal process and an automatic $2500 bet between Ump and Batter.

 

FIFY. They better damn well think they are correct.

yeah but how bout the 25 dollar bet idea?

Meh. I think it's a cool idea but I don't think I'd ever want them to actually implement something like that.

Meanwhile, somebody remind Scott Kazmir, and/or the Twins, that he's Scott f'ing Kazmir, not Sandy Koufax.

[jorgenswest]

If Jorganswest is right... It's simple... fire the umps and fire them all... right now... Automate the process.

 

... or teams can seek catchers that will give their pitchers more strike calls from pitches on the edges.

[edavis0308]

Maybe I'll checkout the Reds and Cubs game. That was pathetic.

[GCTF]

Just tuning in...the real Korea showed up?

Doumit's fault.

Doumit's fault.

 

I'm guessing I should read some other posts first before asking.

[snepp]

Yay Hicksie!

[Riverbrian]

I love watching first career home runs

[PseudoSABR]

Good for Hicks.

[Guest USAFChief]

DickRon going on and on about how many times the Indians will K this season. Yet they are averaging almost a run per game more than the Twins so far this season. Odd that.

[Riverbrian]

The bottom of the line up are run producers.

[edavis0308]

I watch Votto hit and miss the Hicks home run. Figures.

[snepp]

What was Dickcoom whining about before the break, something about strikeouts?

 

Yes Dick, they only struck out blah blah blah times 25 years ago. Guess what, everybody strikes out more these days, 30% more across the board. Quit acting surprised when guys strike out more than a hundred times a season.

 

 

Edit: what Chief said too, x1000.

I've been reading and posting on Twins Daily for a long time now. This site clearly doesn't have enough Lawn Mower discussion.

 

I'm buying a new one after the game... Does anyone have an electric? I'd like a report.

Nothing personal... But go back to Cincy... Just to see if it brings us more runs.

Electrics are great....if you have a mini-lawn.

I have an electric lawnmower. But then I live in Tucson, have like 3 square yds of grass, can't even keep that amount alive, and mow like twice per year. But for my purposes, my small electric lawnmower works just fine, if that helps.

You should probably ask Hank Hill.

I loled seeing as the Reds are also losing. At least Choo is doing his fantasy baseball job.

[Riverbrian]

Corner Lot... Not Small... Not Huge... How long can they run on a charge? How long does it take to charge?

[Gibby]

He dropped the barrel of the bat on that one.

[jorgenswest]

New Britain is playing concurrently.

 

Really nice start from Trevor May thus far.

 

6IP, 1 hit, no runs, 2 Ws, 3 Ks

Man... I'm hopin on May... Both the Pitcher and the month for us.

[Gibby]

Must be nice to only spend 5 minutes on defense in any given inning.

Two wins in one game?
