There's 1.  Need two more for Joe, and five for the pen.

But that's everyday.

This a spring training game ?  

[wsnydes]

Clean, this game is not.

[HokieRif]

Not to look too far ahead, but assuming things stay close just let Ryan keep pitching.  He's already at 60(+?) pitches but he's working out the jams.  Let him keep going until it's Duran time.

to the rescue

[HokieRif]

yeah Alex, I dont think you're gonna win that one.  Too close to be taking that with 2 strikes any way.

[wsnydes]

Ober v Berrios on Sunday.

[HokieRif]

Is the SF infield hungover?

[Jocko87]

Kirilloff gets boned on several ball strike calls and finally barks on one he was wrong on.  Get outta here with the replay.

Yup.  Pretty sure they are.

I'll take it.

[MMMordabito]

White Sox are currently on the horn asking about Wisely and Crawford.

If so, I'd be happy to share my Scotch to help them get over it.

Is  a TWINS fan only !!!!

[Parfigliano]

SF wants a Twin win too

[Danchat]

Are we playing the White Sox or something? That's some bad fielding.

[CRF]

Gotta run a couple errands, so I'll be in the car being "dazzled"...not to be confused with bedazzled. 

[Parfigliano]

Double steal.  Who are these guys?

[HokieRif]

I think Ryan is playing some reverse psychology game with our lineup making them think we're going to need 10+ to win today, only to pull the string and keep SF mostly away from crossing home.

[wsnydes]

I picked the wrong game to incorrectly input into my calendar.  That's kinda frustrating.

[Eephus]

Call me crazy, but does Bremer's play by play ever seem a split second ahead of the what the viewer sees? Like on that double steal I swear he said, "Castro is going to score" a fraction of a second before it was obvious he was going to be safe. Once in a while it seems like this happens on a foul ball. "Fouled back" he'll say the same exact time there's contact made. 

Or as I said call me crazy.

Maybe that's the formula for Twins wins.............dirty baseball.  So far.

If you were to tell me before the game that Ryan wouldn't get his first K until the 12th out, I'd have been pretty worried about the outcome of his start.

We're halfway-ish through the game, up by 4, and I'm still quite worried.

He really seems to be fighting it today.  I hope he can get through 5.

Fair, but the current state is not at all what I would have envisioned.

[HokieRif]

I dont think the ump and Alex will be getting a holiday card from each other this year.  But the ump making that call himself is some BS... he needs to check down to the 3B umpire for that.

[wsnydes]

Haha!  Charity works for me!

That said, Kirilloff needs to settle down.  The ump is living in his head rent free and that's not good.

[Robert Floren]

Giants fans can't be happy with their errors.
