Article: Game Thread: Twins v A's, 5/2 @ 7:10pm CT

Why is Castro batting in the 6 spot?  Seems an odd place for the worst hitter on the team. 

Not the worst hitter tonight. Mollie's a genius. Or a lucky guesser.

Clearly Castro IS the worst hitter in the lineup, Dozier went upper tank and Sano went to Iowa.  Castro barely made the batter's eye.

Good use of the anti-jinx! (Courtesy Eddie Rosario.)

[stringer bell]

Rosario ruined it.

Is there a point you're trying to make?

Of course not. This is a game thread.

To be fair, they had to wait a while for Sano's bomb to land, too.

I got that part... I was trying to figure how the Panda's tied in with a snowmobile but I think I understand that now. 

 

You saw the Arctic Cat as dangerous and predatory. You were just looking out for me and I appreciate that my friend. 

 

We need some Bark Art... Let's start with a Panda Bear on a snowmobile. 

[Riverbrian]

 

I caught it and immediately thought holy moly. And it kept going, and going and going...

 

I imagined the camera guy laying flat on the ground trying to follow the flight of the ball.

No wonder they are an endangered species -- they don't wear helmets.  I bet he texts while driving as well.

Add a Snowman with Sano's head on top... Which will make it a SANOMAN.

Hicks had another HR

He's just trolling Levi now.

[GP830]

No.

They do sound a little Slowpitch don't they?

Just joshin' ya...

maybe if the guys in our broadcast booth talk about Hicks performance this year during the broadcast, they won't blatantly give us incorrect 'facts' about it like last time.

 

Nah, they probably would. :-)

[spinowner]

Don't like the A's on the Oakland caps. Should be just A, like back when they were in Philadelphia.

[jimmer]

Joe.  Do something this time.

They should still bring milk to my door in a truck too.  dagnabbit.

 

edit:  now the nurse just brings it on a cart.

 

Thought I'd take that'n before someone else chimed in.

[yarnivek1972]

I've only been half watching the game. I just saw on the crawl that a 24 year old A's prospect died. Did they say anything during the broadcast?

They should all wear their pant legs high and wear stir-ups too.

Hicks had another HR

 

John Hicks was sent down to make room for Miggy. 

 

He was only hitting .423 

 

People named Hicks get no respect. 

 

Aaron should change his name to something that demands respect... Like Judge. 

[USAFChief]

He got it past the pitcher.  baby steps.

Quoting myself because I'm very important in my own mind. Actually I had another Philadelphia A's thing. In about 2000 the Twins and Athletics had one of those throwback uniform days at the dome. I think the Twins wore Senators unis from about 1925 and the A's of course wore the Philadephia unis. The big problems was that Art Howe wore a uniform, and if he were completely true to the concept he would have dressed like this:
