    (Too lazy to start a thread, 'specially an inning in...) Game 22 against the vaunted cross town (at least for Spring Training) Rivals, being the Redsox of Boston and featuring the following players... (aka line ups) For the Twins: Tommy Milone Pitching Danny Santan at Shortstop Shane Robinson in Center Field Torii Hunter as Designated Hitter Kennys Vargas at First Base Trevor Plouffe at Third Base Oswaldo Arcia in Left Field Eduardo Escobar at Second Base Eric Fryer Catching Jordan Schafer in Right Field For the Boston Redsox: Wade Miley Pithcing Mookie Betts in Center Field Dustin Pedroia at Second Base David Ortiz as Designated Hitter Hanley Ramirez in Left Field Pablo Sandoval at Third Base Mike Napoli at First Base Shane Victorino in Right Field Xander Bogaerts at Shortstop Humberto Quintero Catching Have at it! And Escobar has (had at it, that is), giving the Twins a 1-0 lead in the second! Huzzah!

    Ah, i like these sorts of boxscore mysteries... Two innings, a walk and a homer, and exactly once through the lineup for the Rays. 6 outs + 1 run + 1 walk = 8, but 9 have batted. hmmm. No errors... No wild pitch/passed ball strike outs... Ah. Turns out there was a fielder's choice which did not result in an out.
  3. sampleSizeOfOne
    Now it's tied, with Nunez on second and Rosario at bat... Exciting, no?
  4. sampleSizeOfOne
    A same-sided boom, at that.
  5. sampleSizeOfOne
    Catchin' up... Graham saved Duensing's bacon (or valued metaphoric food products of your choice) And they seem to have found someone they can hit, especially Mr. Hunter, leading by example! I think that merits half a cheer... Hip Hip Who!
  6. sampleSizeOfOne
    Sounds like a respectable outing. And i guess it isn't surprising that jinxes need to build up arm strength as well. They're probably like knucklers, that work best in certain conditions. One of those conditions is when things matter... Good to see Liam Hendriks doing well, even if it is at our expense for the moment. Oh, Nolasco gave up a run. Perhaps i spoke too soon.

    (Assuming no one beats me to it...) Blue Jays Jose Reyes at Shortstop Russell Martin designated to hit for the Pitcher Dioner Navarro Catching Jose Bautista in Right Field Josh Donaldson at Third Base Justin Smoak at First Base Dayan Viciedo in Left Field Dalton Pompey in Center Field Ryan Goins at Second Base Pitching: Todd Redman Twins Danny Santana at Shortstop Brian Dozier at Second Base Joe Mauer at First Base Trevor Plouffe at Third Base Kennys Vargas designated to hit for the Pitcher Torii Hunter in Right Field Oswaldo Arcia in Left Field Kurt Suzuki Catching Jordan Schafer in Center Field Pitching: Ricky Nolasco And here goes a game thread... A lot of starter candidates, no? I hope we win...
  8. sampleSizeOfOne
    Yes. Looking it up, the whole outfield changed. Hicks came out, Robinson went from right to center, Arcia from left to right, and Escobar moved back from 3rd to left.
  9. sampleSizeOfOne
    Saw this also in an earlier game thread and commented on it. Thrylos said it's Molitor's way of doing things, giving the players he wants to see more of a chance to make an impression. (or at least that was my impression)
  10. sampleSizeOfOne
    Alas, now it's over. It can't get any slower... Glanced through the box score, but ain't got much to add.
  11. sampleSizeOfOne
    Wasn't paying attention at the time, but lookin' at gameday, yeah, i assume so. It just gets confused as it has both people replacing Pelfrey, which they kind of are, just his differing roles.
  12. sampleSizeOfOne
    Thanks for the effort. And thanks to the moderator who cleaned it up. I shoulda gotten to it sooner...
  13. sampleSizeOfOne
    What's it like, living like a king in Patagonia? I'll let someone change the title of the thread, but Game 19, Minnesota at Philadelphia (er, spring training sites) Twins: Shane Robinson RF Eduardo Escobar 3B Eduardo Nunez SS Oswaldo Arcia LF Reynaldo Rodriguez 1B Chris Herrmann C Doug Bernier 2B Aaron Hicks CF Mike Pelfrey P Phillies: Ben Revere LF Odubel Herrera CF Chase Utley 2B Ryan Howard 1B (just pinch ran for) Carlos Ruiz C Cody Asche 3B Jeff Francoeur RF Freddy Galvis SS David Buchanan P And that's it for my data entry... Phillies have a 2 run lead courtesy of a Nunez throwing error and a Asche home run. (edited because cut and paste was unkind to me...)
  14. sampleSizeOfOne
    My bad. There probably isn't such a rule, so long as the employer is okay with it. I'm just conflating baseball with whatever else might be going on. It happens every spring time...
  15. sampleSizeOfOne
    I think i'm okay with that. Presumably that means they took fewer players on the road, and the others got some valuable work done back in the Fort.
  16. sampleSizeOfOne
    Well done! Riverbrian, how are you adjusting to the new rules that you're not allowed to step away from the keyboard to adjust your typing gloves between keystrokes? Meanwhile, back on the field... Are folk playing the whole game? Doesn't seem to have been a wave of subs. Only a swapping of first and third.
  17. sampleSizeOfOne
    If only Riverbrian could go back and fix that error... Yet another way the two activities are different. I'll second that baseball rules. Rosario's up again with RISP... What will happen?
  18. sampleSizeOfOne
    Rosario comes through with RISP. Refreshin', eh?
  19. sampleSizeOfOne
    A perfect 4 innings, minus an error from Nunez at 3rd. (Now that i can't jinx him) Hamburger gave up a home run in the 5th for a 1-0 deficit. The twins also have only amassed one hit, and it was less meaningful. So we got a chance to come back in both games!
  20. sampleSizeOfOne
    Mauer into the right field gap for a double, scoring Santana from first.
  21. sampleSizeOfOne
    It was once per inning, and after the one in the second inning, Twins coaches came out, talked to him for a while, and left him in. A pitch or two later, the Umpire said something wasn't right, and told the Twins to replace him, and they did.
  22. sampleSizeOfOne
    Pinto is replaced after getting hit on the head twice by the back swing of Adam Jones. Hope he's okay... Oh, and all's quiet at Tampa bay.
  23. sampleSizeOfOne
    Yeah, i also thought he let up a little when he realized it was by him, and didn't get back to get the carom off the wall. Coulda made a difference with the play at the plate, though not sure. The subsequent home run has put the O's up.
  24. sampleSizeOfOne
    Alas, i slept through half the game, and was distracted for the other half. Thanks for the updates and all! Congrats on UNI.
  25. sampleSizeOfOne
    It hadn't occurred to me only half the world is celebratin' the first day o' spring. Good job with bein' all inclusive. I guess folk at the poles are celebratin' sunrise/sunset? Where i be, we're celebrating spring with some more snow.
