    OK, let's go with that as a marginal difference.
  2. big dog
    Well, you missed your flight, but at least you got to watch the last few innings of this exciting game!!!
  3. big dog
    Wow, I think Doumit missed second base by about 15 feet there. Bert says 20 and after seeing the replay I think he's right.
  4. big dog
    When given two plausible answers, go with the simpler one. Idiot it is.
  5. big dog
    Sure, let's walk Alexi Freaking Casilla. And here's Bert, reminding us how few walks the pitching staff gives up. Thanks, I feel better now.
  6. big dog
    Yeah, I thought the same thing. He was basically daring him to complain. Classy umpiring.
  7. big dog
    They couldn't hit the ball to Plouffe more often. We got a break on that call. Let's get Casilla out, please.
  8. big dog
    Maybe he means the difference between a really bad MLB hitter and a minor league hitter as a marginal difference?
  9. big dog
    Maybe Hicks comes through? ...or gee, maybe he'll strike out.
  10. big dog
    That was just snark about the whole pitch-framing thing. The ball bounced before he caught it.
  11. big dog
    Hey, we held Markakis to a single! Cue the Chorus!
  12. big dog
    Hey look, the Orioles got a double! Dick says that's 5 doubles in 8 PAs. Doesn't count the mashed line drive that went right to the Hammer last inning. Let's get an out here, relatively quickly. Doumit did a terrible job framing that pitch that he caught in the dirt. If you backhand it you're never going to get the strike call. Not as terrible a job as Plouffe did throwing that ball away, though. That was really bad.

    Bert just mentioned Pelfrey's quality start, but of course he had to wait until the commercials were over.
  14. big dog
    That's definitely true, but there are also some baseballs that are flat on one side from that inning too.
  15. big dog
    Finally. Let's all agree that Pelfrey's night is done. And it's not because of pitch count.
  16. big dog
    The last three balls have been hit very, very hard. They are playing with fire, and what used to be a six run lead, leaving Pelfrey in right now. Edit: Done playing with fire. Now putting antibiotic salve on emerging blisters. That's four mashed balls in a row. And Casilla tries to bunt with two out and a man on second.
  17. big dog
    No error posted on Arcia. Seems like it should have been one. Willingham doubled the runner off on that line drive, but the ump called him safe. Very, very close play.
  18. big dog
    Well, Pelfrey's strategy of allowing long fly balls finally fell apart. Bert says "That's a ball that probably should have been caught." You mean because it hit the pocket of Arcia's glove? Yeah, probably. That ball hit the glove with a clank like we heard off the Green Monster.
  19. big dog
    Well, at least you're not paying for an airport motel stuck in an intermediate city anyway. Plouffe really hit that ball. The Twins certainly packed the hitting shoes from Boston. Maybe they can keep this up for a few months.
  20. big dog
    Amen.
  21. big dog
    That's the problem with Casilla. Someone has to make him good, and it only happens once every four starts. I guess tonight's his night. I was a big fan of his when he first came up, but that wore off pretty quickly.
  22. big dog
    Sorry about the missed flight. Do you get to spend an exciting Friday night in an exotic location? After the game, of course. Very nice double play there. This team has been a lot more exciting than the last two, not that the bar is very high.
  23. big dog
    OK, I'm still not a believer in this whole Pelfrey experiment. He could change my mind, but this strategy of giving up a lot of deep fly balls isn't working too while right now. ...but a few more innings like the 4th will make me question my beliefs.
  24. big dog
    My only recommendation, which is totally unrelated to your question, is to have your barbecue "North Carolina style", which means the coleslaw is on top of the meat. It might sound gross, but it works.
  25. big dog
    Glad Mauer came through with the huge 2-run single. I think Carroll got jobbed on that called third strike.
