Buck - its a curveball, learn it, don't swing at it!

Danny said it was a breakin ball.

 

Is anyone going to score today?

 

...That was an honest question, it's been a long off season, I'm forgetting how all of this works.

See... here's another one of those hanging curve balls...

Don’t know, I uninstalled tinder

 

Turned off the audio feed. That 1.3 second delay was nasty, and the commercials were, too. Dick and Bert aren't that bad. And the radio guys aren't that good. 

You GOTTA BE trollin' me.

 

You'll have to consult with the guy who pulled Voros's name out of his ear.

 

Schoop's career high PA is 675.  He has 2 K's in 3 PA today.  That tells me he would need 933 PA's to get to 622 K's this year.  He's averaged 161 games played the last 2 years, which means he would need 5.8 PA's/game.  Seems unlikely.

Not sure why were going Duke over Hildy or Reed.

So, not Buck then. Tough crowd.

This is usually how things start

I'm the jerk who posted a topic about whether we should be worried about the Twins' spring training batting which was 28th overall. I was told to not worry.

Well, I'm worrying.

Probably because we still have at least 4 more innings to pitch and we're in the bottom half of their lineup.

Unintentional trolling? That's five yards and loss of down!

Fair enough.  I was thinking Schoop had k'ed thrice.

That was my qualitative guess. Good to see the numbers back me up.

What happened to Castro being good at defense

oh FFS.

Can odorizzi re enter?

If they do, it'll apparently be on a passed ball or wild pitch.

Only two wild pitches so far from Duke...two batters.  Hmmm...

This is a Duketastrophy!

 

High fives to anyone who gets that reference.

I've been thinking about switching jobs, and I was offered one today.  It's a job helping a one-armed typist with capital letters.

 

I don't know if I'll take it though. It's shift work.

Castro blows...nothing new

What kind of a fool bunts with runners on 1st & 2nd, 1 out, in tie game 7th inning?

Hopefully Baltimore continues to flail themselves out of scoring opportunities...

Meh.  Not your finest work, but it's still early in the season.

He's a pitch framer.  Not a pitch catcher.

NO JOB SECURITY ANYWAY, ONCE YOUR GUY DISCOVERS CAPS-LOCK.

Ned Yost maybe

Duke going for the 4 K inning

Well, poop.
