How many times

Bingo bango.

I watched the game yesterday

and was constantly amazed at how wonderful that place looks. Can. Not. Wait. To See. It.

I always loved that one.

I always loved that one.

What's this August business...

I bought 2 tickets apiece for May and June games last night. Through the Twins website

Quit drooling over McGwire stats, especially for his St. Louis years.

“One out of every two hits was a homerun.”

Gee, wonder how he kept in such good shape.

by Evan in North Dakota on Apr 3, 2010 2:43 PM EDT reply actions  

Hardy with a RBI single

and then a bunch of mistakes and 2 runs later and a few errors later, Hardy goes to second base.

haha, anyone still watching?

I just thought that little jump catch by Delmon was pretty funny in the 6th. probably thought he was next to the wall.

Peyton's good but have you ever heard of Jeff George?

by halfchest on Apr 3, 2010 3:39 PM EDT reply actions  

just lisdtening,

but Slowey sure sounds good and that means our starters seem poised on the edge of a solid season. Especially if Slowey can pitch like a #1.

by montanatwinsfan on Apr 3, 2010 3:42 PM EDT reply actions  

Yah he's looked pretty solid so far

If it were regular season he’d be on pace for a complete game. 75 pitches after 6 with 1 run. He would almost for sure get through 8.

3 HR yesterday, 2 so far today.

I wonder if Target Field might be a bit home run friendly.

by montanatwinsfan on Apr 3, 2010 3:45 PM EDT reply actions  

huh,

SEE, you helped prove my point since Target Field is averaging 3/game! and we all know that we can make snap judgements based on a pair of games.

by montanatwinsfan on Apr 3, 2010 3:56 PM EDT up reply actions  

I just felt like looking it up...

I understand its spring training and absurdly small sample and all, but I had not idea how many HR per game the average was. Its was 1.125 per game per team last year.

The dome was playing like a moderate pitchers park the last few seasons. Twins hit 96 HR in 81 home games. Visitors hit 93 in those games.

by DavidRF on Apr 3, 2010 4:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

cool.

my “huh” was one of an interested observer, and not a question. Oh and the smarmy sarcastic snap judgement sentence was directed solely at myself. See, sometimes the written word can be deceiving.

by montanatwinsfan on Apr 3, 2010 4:13 PM EDT up reply actions  

No worries...

A new stadium is a big deal. People will be watching the frequency of certain events like a hawk the first couple of weeks. There was all that hoopla last year about how well the ball carried in new Yankee Stadium that first month, but when they cruched the numbers at the end of the year it got a very conservative park factor of 97.

by DavidRF on Apr 3, 2010 4:37 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yankee Stadium

The tons of home runs to right were balanced out by all the long fly outs to left. So, kind of like the old Yankee Stadium.

by Adam Peterson on Apr 3, 2010 7:45 PM EDT up reply actions  

I have seen three HRs go to die

Off the bat, I thought, Gone. But caught on the warning tack. In the Dome, those were homers.
