Nice Bomb half way up the RF wall by Morneau... Nice to see

Then Willingham makes it 2-0

Thrylos, spit up a little laughing with the "hopefully Liriano can overcome Butera catching" instead of Rivera. Looks like he's doing just fine, an omen, I hope, for the entire year no matter who's catching.

Agreed!!!!

That was a no-doubter

Can I overreact about Morneau's double? WOOHOO!! He's back!!!!

 

Okay, I'm done.

Everyone should be overreacting to this!

FranKKKKKie is up to 94 with his fastball but K's Jones with a change down the middle

Nunez double was a ground rule bloop out of the reach of Dinkelman

Butera lets Nunez steal third. Very late and weak throw

Would Willingham have gotten it?

Morneau's 2B allows us to get back to being excited about Mauer, Morneau, Willingham in the middle of the lineup!

Frankie jams Hall with a slider inside and Doumit get the pop up by the Yankee dugout 2 outs 56 total pitches

... if only for the moment!

FranKKKKKie get the ground out to Burroughs (who double pumps the throw to 1st and gets the runner Maxwell out by a foot. Twins up 2-0. 58 total pitches in 5 innings.

Wow, thrylos, congrats on becoming a Big-Leaguer with your 500th comment!

I think I am still stuck in single-A.

Florimon looks really over-matched at the plate. I suspect that he will be assigned to the minors soon. Nice single by Doumit

Morneau's fly ball out was a foot short off the warning track.

Willingham's ground rule double landed at the Twins' pen and almost got the bullpen catcher (Number 89 - have no idea who that is)

Nice single by Burroughs to get the runs home with 2 outs. Battled a lot of pitches. Great PA.

Manship in and gives up a very long fly ball to Romero Pena (LHB) on the first pitch an 85mph something or another (straight) in the lower middle of the plate

Morneau is really getting a hold of the ball today. Hope this is a sign of things to come.

I think that that 84 mph pitch that Manship threw for a home run was a FB. His off-speed stuff is at 75-76

What did Liriano's line end up being?

Manships FB is 84-86... very concerning.

what did liriano's line end up being?

5 ip 4 h 1 bb 5 k

That was a bomb to the LF by Nunez...

5 ip 4 h 1 bb 5 k

Thanks. Very solid, again. And the top half of NY's lineup was good today.

Missed a HR by 3 inches... I just do not like Manship's chances to make the team right now. That 84-86 FB velocity on the same gun that got Liriano at 94 is concerning.

If Manship is not hitting much speed? Pass. Sorry dude, but that speed is not going to cut it.

Manship did not get anyone out and allowed 3 runs so far in the inning. Hollimons "error" was a smoked line drive on the 3B line. Announcers said should be a hit. Burton in. Very disappointing outing
