Game 28: Tigers @ Twins

...but hey, THEY’RE BACK. So I’m happy. Liking the lineup widget, especially.

The pitcher pictures and stat briefs were something I’m just playing with, it might be too much. But it’s fun.

GO TWINS!!

opens it up with a walk for the Twins.

Steal #12. Rack ‘em.

Shake ya boo-tay….wild pitch! Gomez scores, Twins lead 1-0!

Carlos Gomez and his lack of OBP more often on this site. Because every time I do he slaps me in the face, steals a base, scores a run. Usually in that order, although the slap in the face may land at any point.

tosses a meatball over the middle of the plate. Ordonez launches it into the stratosphere. 1-1.

i turn away for one second…bases loaded, one out…still the top of the 2nd?? at least jacque jones is up.

slider, low and in, ground out.

Am I reading that correctly?

I still remember being amazed watching Cuba vs. DR in the world baseball classic. The Cuban starter went to 3 balls with nearly every batter, and consistently threw breaking balls out of the zone on hitters’ counts. When he left the game he had thrown more balls than strikes (those strikes include all the balls he got them to swing at) and he managed to not walk a single batter.

6 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 1 HR, 4 K, 2 BB

with two away. LET’S GO LIVAN!

It’s 3am.

If the Twins lose after I go to sleep…that’s it. I’ll be cursed (pronounced CURS-ed).

Goodnight, TT.

There was a question about what happened to Gomez. He was hit in the head on a throw from Rodriguez while sliding into second on a stolen base. He supposedly will be fine.
