Game Thread: Twins @ Braves, 5/21 - 6:10pm

You did mark me down for the "under"...right?

Don't forget to factor it's the NL, and Hudson will likely pitch a complete game, getting 7 or 8 PAs.

 

Against Pelfrey.

Progress! Plouffe doesn't throw the DP ball into RF.

[Riverbrian]

Look at the Atlanta fans running for cover from the rain. How pathetic

There's no way he'll bunt foul for the third strike each time.

[mikeee]

that-a-way, Joe!

[mikeee]

oh look. rain delay... lol

[Mike Sixel]

shoulda built a dome, they do know it rains there, right?

[mikeee]

I was just showing that I wasn't paying attention to the game from the beginning!

[B Richard]

Checked a weather report- this rain should really clear up soon. We'll be missing cut off men and chasing balls out of the zone in no time!

[mikeee]

It doesn't look like much on weather.com... I'd hope it goes soon.

[stringer bell]

Please rain, stop. let Pelfrey get back out there and lose his position on merit.

[B Richard]

Trevor May turns in another less than ideal start: 5IP 8H 2ER 5BB 6K, 1 HR. I am growing increasingly concerned with his walk numbers and his ability to start

[B Richard]

Sano goes yard twice though (12th and 13th) and maintains a BA above .350

[Craig Arko]

The rain is over but they are having electrical problems. Pelfrey will be lifted for Swarzak when play resumes.

[snepp]

So Pelfrey is donesy.

 

 

Goooooooo Burton!

[Riverbrian]

Rain stopped sumpin cookin

[Riverbrian]

Francisco did not need to fall into the stands on that. I think he did it for fun.

[B Richard]

Maybe he saw a cute girl

[snepp]

Let's go Fu Manchumit!

[B Richard]

Officer Doumit at the plate

[snepp]

Maybe he saw a cute girl

 

I think McCann winked at him.

[B Richard]

Swarzak has that twinkle in his eye... we might just party like it's 1991!

[snepp]

I had a mistake in the strikeout rankings. It's Correia and Worley that are tied for 2nd on the team in k's. Burton is one behind them. Swarzak is now re-tied with Pelfrey for 5th on the team, and more than likely will overtake him for sole possession of 4th.

 

It's possible that the Twins could end the night with relievers holding the top 3 spots in strikeouts. Swarzak needs 4 more, Burton needs 2.

That's a championship formula if I've ever heard of one

Market inefficiencies ftw.

[snepp]

3 more for Swarzie!

[B Richard]

Juan Francisco was trying to put that ball in the Ohio river... again

[mikeee]

Apparently a good place by old man carrol

[B Richard]

That hit from Morneau was a carbon copy of his last one

[B Richard]

Officer Doumit, that's a double homicide.
