4/4 @ Twins

[Maxbialystock]

Can every game be 7 innings? Unpopular opinion, I know

 

I like 9, thanks. But I also think 7 x 2 for double headers makes sense.

[Maxbialystock]

Ugh--that changeup for ERod this year is nasty. The only thing worse than missing it is hitting it like that.

I don't have the attention span for 9 innings on most nights. I also go to bed relatively early and usually cannot stay up for the end of 7:00 games.

 

But, I'm also just saying this based on how today has gone

Agreed with this and not to sound over confident or anything. But we are up 5 and if it stays this way through 7, I highly doubt Minnesota would beat us in 2 extra innings.

They might have in Game 1

[Thunder]

Anybody else having fun?

I'm a little disappointed that the SOX are only playing .500 against the O's.

Still 13 games left against those bums

There really isn't any weak sisters in the AL East this year.

Maybe. I’m still fine with 7 innings. Both teams have to play 7 innings.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I see we have the White Sox at home Friday on April 4th.

Guaranteed rain out 100%. Forecast calls for rain and snow here in CT

[Thunder]

Castiglione just said that Whitlock is so good he would be a starter for the Yankees. Love it

[Thunder]

DUGIEEEEEEEEEE

 

 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Go go verdugo!

I taught English at the collegiate level and can assure you the correction expression is, "There really ain't any weak sisters in the AL East this year."

I stand corrected. 'Isn't' was the wrong contraction. Thanks, Prof. MAX.

[TylerD]

Verdugo!!

 

Man this offense is. Something else.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Go go verdugo!

 

I've noticed this game thread doesn't allow one to SHOUT.

The entire website is built that way. Can't post a message in all caps. No idea why, but I would imagine it goes back to the flaming that was common on the internet in the mid-2000s

[Maxbialystock]

My vast experience and great insight into baseball at this level says that Barnes ain't closing game 2.

DEVERS DEliVERS! works because I'm employing a small 'l' and 'i.' Thanks for the explanation.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

GO GO VERdUGO!

[Maxbialystock]

The Twins are nothing if not gracious. When they say, "Welcome to Target Field," they really mean it.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

GO GO VERdUGO!

 

OK, I've figured it out.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Twins are nothing if not gracious. When they say, "Welcome to Target Field," they really mean it.

 

And they give each player on the visiting team a 50 dollar Target gift certificate when they leave.

[iortiz]

Berrios was dealing and it didn't looked encouraging after 3 innings, BUT somehow Berrios chocked in the fourth and the rest is history.

 

Good thing is that this team always find a way to come back and win.

 

The Twins are fairly a contender team by most experts so these wins look more valuable.

[Maxbialystock]

Nice. Very nice.

[iortiz]

The 9th W is on the books boys. Keep rolling!

[Thunder]

Hey Max you should go to Vegas right now
