I hate (playing against) that guy (pedroia). He needs to start arguing strikes. Maybe they'll toss him in MN.

Yeah, not sure if avoiding Lester is such a good thing with the way Buchholz has started the season (looking at non-sabermetrical numbers, anyway).

Clay Buccholz is fugly.

Was just thinking the same.

A wet dog comes to mind.

It's possible that Buchholz just doesn't wash his hair... OR... Here's a list of possible substances in his hair:

1. Quaker State Motor Oil

2. Plutonium

3. Kryptonite

4. Keith Richards Urine

5. KY Jelly

6. Vegemite

7. Squid Ink

8. Robin Regurgitation.

9. Raindrops kept falling on his head.

OK, quick question - how many people bought a Powerball ticket today? How many thing the Twins should buy one, to help solve their payroll issues?

Worley could use an out pitch.

Looking to take over for David Letterman?

Yeah but games are not "run by computer simulation".

 

I have asked for permission to use that line from Mike Wants Wins and I'm assuming permission will come. If not... I will respect his cease and desist.

yep... Trying to put a gap in my teeth as we speak... I never thought it would be as painful as it is... I think I have a better understanding for the need for novocaine now.

1-8 look more like a list of opening acts down through history at Megadeath concerts.

Haven't been able to watch most of Worley's starts. It's pretty clear why he can't make it six innings.

Of course he finds his "out pitch" as I post that.

I believe that was the first swinging strike (and even that was a foul tip) induced by Worley this game. Another fun fact: running total of 0-2 counts that have not resulted in a strikeout so far: 3.

i had great seats from his last start behind home plate. The guy really needed to keep the ball down and mix it up.

 

He was up up up and he got scored on... He was down and he was effective. I also think he needs to use a breaking pitch more to off balance the hitters a little.

3. My bad for unclear wording. Worley 0-2 counts: 3 Resultant K's: 0

Worley better figure it out quick because I don't see many runs off Bucholz tonight.

We could talk about that all night. But that won't get us nowhere.

It can all change on a dime. Unfortunately... None of the Twins are compensated poorly enough to carry around dimes.

I think it's 5 0-2 counts, and they all resulted in outs.

That's what we mean when we say pitching.

You can lead a Worley to a mound... but you can't make him throw strikes

Talking of The Sandlot (on the broadcast). Does anybody know if it is true that Bonnes hasn't seen it? And he calls himself a "baseball guy"?

I'd be interested in how many meat of the plate pitches are thrown in 0-2 or 1-2 counts. I can't stand that.

That's what we mean when we say pitching.

What it says to me is "minor league stuff." YMMV.

Worley makes it 0-4,but gets the DP.
