I do that when I coach the kids... If I call for a sacrifice... 2 strikes... I don't care... You will sacrifice.

[Riverbrian]

Mauer... Take him the other way please.

[Craig Arko]

On the bright side, at least Smalley provides some new input.

I agree... Smalley and TK... They talk actual baseball.

I've made the move to watching ball without sound. So far I'm likin' it.

I can't do that... It would make my wife so much easier to hear.

I just turn up the hockey game.

[GCTF]

Whiffingham.

[Riverbrian]

Must be the camera angle but Teheren is getting a lot of inside corners.

[Riverbrian]

Parm look for the slider and jump on it when you get it...

 

I wonder if Parm can hear me.

[Twins Twerp]

Did laird just nick punto into first...

[LaBombo]

Did laird just nick punto into first...

Yes, and Smalley dinged him for it by speculating that he might have been safe if he'd run through the bag. So that was good.

 

Nice job by Cy Correia to hang in there after the bad first inning.

[Mike Sixel]

I may only pay attention to the minors now.

[nicksaviking]

Turn to FSN, I think they are currently on.

[Guest USAFChief]

23 million per year to "take him the other way."

 

23 million doesn't get you much these days, does it?

[GCTF]

Through 4 innings Correia has got to 2 strikes on a batter 9 times. 0 strikeouts, 4 hits, 2 flyouts, 2 groundouts and a sac bunt.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Oy. Just checked the score.

 

Time to go back to what I was doing earlier.

I only pleaded for it cuz Teheran has been hell on that inside corner for righties and outside corner for lefties... I didn't think he was gonna come in on Joe.

[GCTF]

Oy. Just checked the score.

You can watch porn anytime.

[GCTF]

Correia done after 4. 1 walk and 0 K's. So close to a quality start in the Andy handbook.

[Twins Twerp]

Geez hicks has a cannon. Btw has anyone else checked the milb website 34 times tonight? I wish I couldwake up and it would be ETA: 2014

[TheLeviathan]

Well, seeing as how the Twins punted this season in November, I don't feel quite as bad for rooting for Correia to fail. I have a slim hope that it may teach the Twins a lesson in what to do with their money.

 

Yes, Gandalf, a fool's hope. But a hope nonetheless.

DeVries may not be coming up to the big club. He got tagged... Colabello playing RF and hits HR #12. Buxton hits his 7th.

Had an uncle who tried that, but my aunt made him stay at a special hotel that helps sleepy people wake up. Proceed with caution, if at all.

I envy even that hope, since mine ended in a steaming pile of Nick Blackburn.

Bed Sores would be a serious concern. Not to mention the feeding tube and catheter.

There was no way of knowing that adding a plethora of Blackburn clones would end up badly.

Sadly, a plethora of Blackburn clones would look pretty good by comparison right now. In three of his last four years as a Twin, he'd be the Twins second best starter right now, and most likely would finish the year better than Corriea will.

 

Yes, folks, it's that GD bad. I long for the good ol' days of Nick Blackburn.

[Gibby]

Caleb Thielbar!!!!! My prayers have been answered.
