    Arcia two-run bomb to center. Povus and gladden described it as a nice short compact swing rather than completely swinging for the fences; they are pleased.
  2. big dog
    After 4, Twins up 4-3. Shaky first, but Nolasco has put down 10 in a row since the Jones and Snider HRs.
  3. big dog
    Vargas drove in the fourth run with a single, thrown out at second. Gladden suggested Vargas wasn't running too hard, thinking he had an easy double. Not a good play, especially for a guy on the bubble.

    Eric "Take Me North" Fryer with the two-run homer.
  5. big dog
    I don't think either of those points are relevant for May or for Hicks. I think Meyer was a mess. I think thinking too much can be a problem, especially for a young player in the bigs on Opening Day. But I don't think I know everything. Not everyone suffers from the same insecurity.
  6. big dog
    or it means that players who weren't ready in April improved enough to be called up in June. But whatever.
  7. big dog
    Can't blame a guy for wanting to play but he could have handled it better. We have enough pitchers over 30 who won't dominate now or in the future. Ready to go young, or at least younger. Hope we can work something out for him.
  8. big dog
    My top 5: 1. White Sox 2. White Sox 3. Yankees 4. White Sox 5. White Sox That about covers it.
  9. big dog
    Yeah, hopefully someone can fill that position through something other than attrition. Let's get a strong start out of someone and hope he can build on it.

    And May gives up a single to start the 3rd. He's thrown the dreaded Reverse Cycle!! Homer, triple, double, single.
  11. big dog
    Yeah, I posted yesterday that I hoped all three threw well. Wanted a tough choice. Given this week's results now I want May to throw well and make it an easy choice.
  12. big dog
    I hope all 3 of these pitchers throw phenomenal games the next couple of days. Does that make me a bad person?
  13. big dog
    You had me at "Justified". Couldn't believe last night's episode. If Dozier becomes the Justified of second basemen he'll be worth 4x that new contract. Nice article.

    Jordan Schafer Go Boom

    Nolasco through 4: 4 ks, 2 singles, 2 GIDPs, minimum # of batters faced.
  16. big dog
    Just testing my jinx there- still in spring training form. Nolasco gave up a hit, but to the second batter, and no further damage in the inning. By July, if I make a post like that it's an immediate 3-run homer for the opposition.
  17. big dog
    Nolasco through 2- no baserunners, 3 k's (Russell Martin, Donaldson, Smoak). Please let this be the start of a new version of Nolasco.
  18. big dog
    and Brian Dozier celebrates the new contract! 1-0, Twins.
  19. big dog
    Salcedo gives up a run on 3 walks, a wild pitch, and a double play ball. This game isn't getting any faster.
  20. big dog
    The tail remained securely attached. He was primarily battling his control.
  21. big dog
    Phillies announcers just mentioned that the Twins brought very few subs on this trip. They seemed surprised at the small number.
  22. big dog
    Yup. I didn't see Hicks do anything that would have caused him to be removed from the game, other than his position in the batting order. Arcia fought a ball to death before making the catch- one Phillies announcer blamed a "high sky", the other announcer laughed at him and said the sky had clouds and was no excuse.
  23. big dog
    Well, if I'm the only one watching this game, everyone else made better choices.
  24. big dog
    Started a new thread for the Phillies game, not realizing this was already up. Nunez made one bad play in the field and one terrible play. Pelfrey was not good- 7 H, 2 BB, 2 K in 4 2/3. Pace was glacial. Boyer came in and got him out of a jam. Eduardo Escobar moved to the outfield as part of a double switch.
  25. big dog
    Just a quick post from this slow game. Nunez and Pelfrey not really helping their chances this game. Nunez took a routine ground ball on a slow batter, took two crow hops and then air-mailed it. Swipe tag might have gotten the runner, but ruled safe. Terrible play. Next batter up hit a bomb. Pelfrey got a guy on during the fifth inning, and the pace of play immediately became glacial. Throw the darn ball. He lost his control and took forever. 7 hits, 2 walks, 2 ks in 4 2/3. He's replaced mid-inning, two on and two out. Boyer gets out of the inning. Eduardo Escobar moved to the outfield as part of a double-switch.
