[Neinstein]

I'm excited to see what Span, M & M, and Parmelee can do against Hunter!

[Intramural Legend]

Would be nice if our table setters would make Hunter work a bit

[Guest USAFChief]

Two ugly swings from Morneau, sandwiched around missing his pitch on 1-1.

[Riverbrian]

Arrieta and now Hunter look like Palmer and McNally thus far

[Riverbrian]

Liriano in a word... Encouraging.

[Guest USAFChief]

The Twins are going to regret no locking up Liriano when they still could have.

[Intramural Legend]

Nice start for Lirano. Nice to see all his pitches early.

[Riverbrian]

It has too be hard for the Twins brass. Liriano has been so polar over his career.

[Riverbrian]

Revere... That's a ball player. Now send him.

[Riverbrian]

Jeez... I wish I wouldn't have used the word polar!

[ashbury]

Revere... That's a ball player. Now send him.

A team's made an offer? Who do we get?

[Intramural Legend]

The walk is more frusturating.

[ashbury]

Jeez... I wish I wouldn't have used the word polar!

Used to seem that way all the time with Scott Erickson, too. Lights-out first inning would too often translate into the showers by the fifth. Other games he'd struggle in the early innings then cruise into the eighth or ninth. Go figure.

[Guest USAFChief]

Since everyone is sure another OFer catches the triple yesterday, I'll posit that Doumit catches that HR ball that just cleared the fence.

lol... Traded for Humber and Mulvey

Sure he would have. He is taller.

Liriano battled back. Now will the Twins?

Would be nice so see our offense at least show a glimpse of something this weekend.

[Fanatic Jack]

It's 2011 all over again.

[Intramural Legend]

Those three extra days of fundamentals sure are paying off

[mikeee]

Smack it out, chris!!

[Guest USAFChief]

well that inning sure fizzled.

[Intramural Legend]

Trying to stay positive

[ashbury]

I'll hold my 20/20 hindsight for after the game.

[dabecka]

So proud that the offense currently consists of 9 inch grounders and popups in foul ground with RISP.

Don't forget a couple strikeouts

[Guest USAFChief]

Liriano not getting a lot of help here. Valencia needs to get one out on that ground ball.

[Riverbrian]

Defense! How can you not defense it?

Its a game and a half in to the season. Relax a little.
