We haven't had a catcher bat this well since Joe Mauer!

4 RBI for Suzuki in the first two games? If present trends continue, I expect more of the same.

.800 OBP for Hicksie today.

There's just something about working behind the plate that sharpens your perception on the offensive side too. It's too much of a pattern to ignore. SABR should look into this.

I'm really enjoying the fast start Hicks has gotten off to. Is that new First Basemen we signed supposed to be a good hitter? I see here he hasn't gotten a hit yet. I thought players at that position hit homeruns? Can someone fill me in?

Oh, gee... look who struck out again.

I thought that would have been a good time to use the bench and pinch hit Joe Mill.. O well..

How slow of a runner must Konerko be, to be pinch-run for by a catcher?

perk

I will not be sad when Konerko and Dunn are gone from the socks

Think we see Escobar at short tomorrow?

Can someone fill me in?

 

See the previous discussion on Eaton Semien.

Oh, gee... look who struck out again.

He not only struck out, he managed to look like a fan who won the 'take a major league at bat' drawing in doing so. Brutal.

Think we see Escobar at short tomorrow?

 

If so, do we see Colabelo at first?

Who's wearing Perk's uniform today?

dangit.

Bring in capps!!!

Who's wearing Perk's uniform today?

 

Half of Matt Capps.

 

/ would prefer to see his better half instead

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!

He sure blew that one... wow.

Ways #5 & #6 to implode.

Always good to get that first blown save out of the way early to avoid needless chatter about a perfect season.

Oh Plouffe...

I wonder if Riverbrian will have any post-game thoughts to offer about Plouffe's defensive prowess?

Well, that walk didn't help one bit. Perkins first blown save of the year, of many, I'm afraid.

Geez, we have like 2 guys that would play on any team, and those two guys suck right now.

Half of Matt Capps.

 

/ would prefer to see his better half instead

Now we know why Cappsie was throwing right-handed. His left looks pretty bad.

 

Black Sox scorer rewards routine grounder with a hit.

Two strikeouts by Perk. Practically a perfect ninth.

Extra innings. A setup for Florimon to redeem himself.

Twins have a 6-4 lead!

 

"So what? They'll blow it in the 9th!"
