Boy, it sure is nice to have a team that doesn't get hopelessly behind by the 3rd inning all the time!

Roenicke's stuff has a lot of movement. Maybe it's just comparing him to the average Twins pitcher, or maybe it's just tonight, but his stuff is hopping.

Nothing in the zone to Davis please

Atta Boy Hammer... Nice job Roenicke... Excellent pitching...

Willingham can't play defense.

Call: If Plouffe or Parm reach base in the 8th, we'll see Ramirez pinch hit. If Dozier reaches, Ramirez for Florimon.

not against o'day. Them submarine guys are hard on righties.

Haha what an error.

Interesting. Palmer thinks Oliva belongs in the Hall of Fame.

 

I strongly agree with that idea -- if not for a negligently placed sprinkler head in Oakland, I believe that Tony would be in the HOF.

See... Can't say that wasn't hard on Plouffe can you.

Send Escobar... Send him...

The D is sloppy but overall, it's better. Plouffe and Dozier look like different players and Escobar/Florimon are much rangier players. Even Parmelee looks okay out there.

 

They're not going to win any awards but if they stop the bone-headed plays, they might even be good.

The defense hasn't been good yet, but you make good points. Dozier certainly has looked comfortable at second. I think Parmelee has been fine in right, although he will not show good range out there.

Damn meng. Held Escobar.

Do I have to type send Escobar in capital letters?

They are making a lot of throws to first -- holding Escobar pretty close. Are you sure that this is a good risk?

Just watched the fireworks show after the Miracle game! Time for some twins fireworks.

 

DJ ... do you live in Ft Myers? I have a place there but don't live there ... yet.

Oops... My bad

And that's why you don't try to steal on Weiters.

oops. lol

Ouch -- Escobar thrown out by a pretty wide margin.

Hope Joe is taking notes on how to get out of stance and quick release.

Submarines are pretty easy to read and typically a little slower to the plate. That's why I wanted him to go.

 

It didn't work.

I would suggest a pitching change if Hardy gets on -- Roenicke looks spent.

On both Hicks and now Escobar those have looked almost like a pitch out. Both have been pretty high and outside.

Nice outing for Roenicke.

Roenicke is impressing me. I hope that he stays healthy.

Yes, but kudos to him for a solid three innings. Nice to get that from the 'pen.

You have to give the Twins credit...this is the kind of game that they would lay down and lose last year. I legitimately think that this team could be almost 8 wins better than last year.

Let's push something across.

Agreed. I think that he hung the curveball once, but luckily the batter missed it.
