Game Thread: Tigers @ Twins - 4/4, 12:05pm

[GCTF]

Home................run?

 

Does not compute.

[Otto von Ballpark]

Just tried to compare minor league stats for Florimon and Escobar, and my goodness they are similar. Escobar's two years younger, Florimon's been at bit better at taking a walk, but otherwise they seem virtually identical with the bat and on the bases.

[Riverbrian]

After three innings we got us a new game... Hopefully this new game will include better Twins defense.

[Ultima Ratio]

Hammer on pace for 54 homers.

 

In all seriousness, the ball must really be dead in the air. That homer didn't clear by much and was hit on the screws.

[glunn]

Pelfrey is looking sharp?

[Ultima Ratio]

Glunn, Very similar approach and results as KC yesterday.

[Riverbrian]

I love the first week of baseball... Free MLB extra innings... Between innings I can turn over to any game and I just had a question/thought.

 

Is it possible to watch Lucas Duda bat without Camp Town Races coming into your head?

[Riverbrian]

Pelfrey is looking sharp?

 

He's doing his job my friend.

[snepp]

Plouffesie!

[Riverbrian]

Plouffe... There is #1 of 34 this year.

[$tryf4Life]

Ploufffeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!

[GCTF]

Crushed.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Hey, everybody! Let's party like it's June of 2012!

[mikeee]

PA-floof!!!!

[Ultima Ratio]

Wow. Parm. Easy guy.

[Brock Beauchamp]

He's doing his job my friend.

 

He's done well enough.

 

As odd as it is to say, he doesn't look as good as Correia did yesterday.

[GCTF]

Is it possible to watch Lucas Duda bat without Camp Town Races coming into your head?

 

Because he looks like Foghorn Leghorn, right?

[ShaeTwins]

Nice game so far. Pelfrey pitching well, some good home runs. Let's knock Porcello out now!

[Riverbrian]

It's that low expectation thing of mine... All I want is for our starters to keep us in the game.

 

We are in the game!

[ShaeTwins]

Pelfrey has come back from Tommy John surgery in just less than 11 months, is hitting 92-93 on his sinker, getting ground balls, and pretty much showing great control. No strikeouts, but did we expect any? I'd say that "sharp" is an apt definition.

[Halsey Hall]

Before long Gardy will probably move Hicks down in the order til he catches on. Swap spots with 2nd base probably.

[buckninetyone]

brandon maurer is joe's other drunk brother.

[Mike Sixel]

Home runs are so elegant. Prety. Efficient. Effective. They are the epitome of elegance.

[LaBombo]

Pelfsie needs a dp to last another inning.

Hey, I'm not complaining. So far, so good.

Fine by me to put Hicks in the 9 hole if his woes continue -- but only as long as Carroll is starting a batting #1.

[Riverbrian]

Hey, I'm not complaining. So far, so good.

 

lol... I was pretty sure you weren't. Zero earned runs not warming the heart would be a real cold heart.

[ShaeTwins]

Web gem by Mr. Plouffe!

[glunn]

He's doing his job my friend.

 

Thanks. It also appears from what I can see that he is not getting good defense -- 2 errors and a passed ball.

[Riverbrian]

Tight spot wiggled out of.
