Okay, well, I'm not psychic.

I knew you'd say that.

Sanooooo.....    

Does the ball ever leave Sano's bat slower than 100mph?

Grossman takes another walk. Why oh why do pitchers fear Grossman? 

 

When's the last time a Twin pitcher K'd the side swinging?

Since nobody seems to know, I'll supply the answer:  April 22, 2017.  Top of the first, Adelberto Mejia.

C'mon Keppie ... hit it hard!

 

Sanooooo.....    

Sanoo-my goodness did he scorch that ball!

AND THE BAGS ARE LOADED.  And now, back to the ballgame.

Damn. Nice work, Chief. You really drilled down into the Fangraphs game data tool to dig that up.

I tip my cap to Boyd for keeping a civil tongue when the home plate ump came to the mound. Well done, sir.

Hm... 4 baserunners and no runs... Twinsy

A single, a double, two walks, zero runs.

 

Twins Baseball!

Our veteran catcher swings at a ball at his neck when the pitcher walked two guys in a row.

Y'know, it's tough to admit it, but I might be getting a little forgetful.  My doctor told me to write things down, as a way to remember, but it just sorta irritates me, y'know?

 

Last night Mrs Chief and I were watching TV, and I went into the kitchen.  I asked her if she wanted anything, and she thought for a second, then said, "Yeah, some ice cream." 

 

"OK, gotcha covered," I replied.  "Plain?"

 

"No, put some of that caramel sauce on it, please.  And honey...do you think you should write this down?"  she asked.  "You know what the doctor said."

 

A little *****'ed, I snapped "NO.  I remember.  Ice cream, caramel.  I'll even bring the damn spoon."

 

"OK, OK," she said.  "Geez, just trying to help."

 

I was still pretty perturbed 20 minutes later when I brought her the damn bacon and eggs.  And what do you suppose I got for being nice?  Backtalk, that's what.

 

She looked at me with a touch of sympathy in her eyes--I HATE that--and gently said "See, you should have written it down.  Where's my toast?"

Was wondering when Mejia would throw a slider.  Great pitch!

This is getting...ugly.

Molitor calling the bullpen already.  Not a good sign?

ok, double play???

This ump ****ing sucks ass. What a load crap.  Complete and utter bull****. I'm so pissed right now. Multiple strikes called balls, including at 3-0 and then this horse**** hit batter call.  Gonna punch something right now.

 

UPDATE: Haha suck it ump. You got overturned.

Overturned.  I mildly surprised.

TWINS WIN!!  TWINS WIN!!

But, how do you really feel?

At this rate, the game is going to take 5 hours.

I hope so.  More chores await when it's over.

I like that from Mejia. He fought through a rough inning, didn't give in. Tough kid.

Whew, that was ugly...

I was thinking along those same lines. The record length of a 9-inning game is 4:45. We've not yet started the bottom of the second and the game has taken 52 minutes.

 

While I hate long games I also look forward to records being broken!

ok, here we go Buxton!

 

Edit:  oh, man.  then he swings at 2 pitches out of the strikezone....

Once again, Eddie Rosario is one of the few ballplayers that is always ready to take advantage. Quick break on the past ball, easy steal.

Little two out bingo here, Dozier-zee.
