  1. "I don't believe I've seen the start of a game where anybody's been hit harder than this." <- An actual quote from Nolan freakin' Ryan, who is in the announcers' booth right now. Yikes.
  2. Oh at least Danny Santana is batting n...and he struck out.
  3. Top of 2 and we're already down 4-0? What the hell, man?
  4. Here's an ESPN Deportes article about Eddie Rosario: Eddie Rosario en Silencio Hace Mucho Ruido, or "Eddie Rosario Silently Makes a lot of Noise." It's in Spanish, but I'm sure you can get it translated. "Rosario has stood out as one of the brightest stars of the Puerto Rican team in this WBC. In his first three games of the tournament, the Minnesota Twins' outfielder* connected on six hits in 11 at-bats, for an average of .545, including two doubles, a triple, and three runs batted in. While the cameras focus on players of the caliber of Carlos Correa, Javier Baez, Francisco Lindor, Yadier Molina, and Carlos Beltran, Rosario has been equally integral to the perfect start that Puerto Rico has had." Molitor also had some very complimentary words to say about Rosario to the ESPN reporter. He said Rosario is clutch, that he's exciting, and that he can beat you with his glove, his arm, his legs, and his bat. *The Spanish word for outfielder is "jardinero," or gardener. I love that!
  5. I'm pretty sure I read that he's using his slider a lot more and getting good results with it. Anyone with more knowledge want to confirm?
  6. The announcers have just spent several long minutes discussing skipping rocks. I'm so out. Let's just say the Twins won and call it a day.
  7. Well that's oddly specific. Can we find who that poster is and bar him from attending the second game of the Twins' season? Or at least some TSA style "enhanced security"?
  8. As if the announcers couldn't be worse, they just misused the phrase "begs the question." That really grinds my gears.
  9. Twins have batted around this inning, and scored five on Robbie Ross. Good guys are up now 8-6. Or in Joe Mauer's case, the Twins have walked around.
  10. Sox now up 6-3 after a bad inning by the Twins. (CBU.) Also, the Sox announcers just suggested that the Twins trade Joe Mauer. How cute.
  11. "Precautionary measures for left triceps tightness."
  12. Justin Haley is out after pitching 2+. Two on, nobody out in the third. 3-2 Twins. And these Boston announcers are really getting on my nerves. Makes me miss Dickbert.
  13. Four more runs in the 7th; now 8-0. This has been an obligatory CBU.
  14. Shaky camera work really makes Reed's pitches look deceptive... Anyway, he keeps the K train going.
  15. Okay, now it's 8 Ks, and he's headed to the dugout. Damn good outing for Mejia.
  16. Also, Mejia is really impressing me right now. What's he at, like 7 strikeouts? Worked out of a jam or two. He's looking really good.
  17. Also, Sano's gotta knock it off with these checked swings.
  18. Nice to hear "two run double for Mauer." Brings me back.
  19. Watching on a delay. Sano is a very amusing person. I feel like I want to have a few beers with him. I'll speak bad Spanish, he'll speak bad English, and we'll have a hell of a time.
  20. This is seriously just the worst.
  21. Florimon sighting! (And "Florimon" mispronunciation. Apparently this also applies to former Twins.)
  22. Are the Phillies' announcers specifically trying to pronounce the Twins' names weird? Are they doing a Super Troopers kind of thing, where they see how many times they can get away with it, meow?
