2012 Game 52: Twins vs. the Orion Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy

82 Comments


I was annoyed during The Avengers that the villains had the same comic book "once we conquer the Earth, the Universe will be ours!" attitude. Well, my last pinch-hit game log post was Twins vs The World, so I am not going to make the same mistake, and will instead be increasing the boundaries of the Twins' "dominance" in more manageable amounts. We all know that the solar system isn't populated with intelligent life outside of Earth, so I'm taking the next reasonable step with tonight's game.

So far, I'm 2-0 in game logs this season, but remembering that Jeff Gray also started out 2-0, I'm not going to let it go to my head. Now that we've gotten past the pitching machine portion of the starting rotation, tonight's match-up features Mr. Semi-Automatic, PJ Walters (2-1) vs Cleveland's ace Jeremy Josh Tomlin (2-2). He's a righty, so I'm going to "New Guy" it and declare at least two hits apiece tonight for Joe, Justin, and Denard. Willihammer Norway will have to settle for a couple walks.

Cleveland has won 11 of the last 12 vs. the Twins. Well, NOT ON MY WATCH!

  1. My prediction: Joe Mauer gets on base 5 times and some Twins fans boo him.

  3. that is a pretty sharp hat/jersey color combo Cleveland has going on. Including matching red belt.

  5. Dickey follows up Santana seven hits too many for another no-hitter. He does strike out one more and walks five fewer though.

  11. Tribe booth adamantly disagreeing with the call on pitch #9 to Doumit.

      1. It wasn't the radar, that was his current pitch count. I totally understand the mistake, dw.

  18. Lou Marson is a career .214 hitter. But he loves Twins pitching: 23 hits in 84 AB for a .284 avg. And it jumps up with that hit.

  19. so I'm going to "New Guy" it and declare at least two hits apiece tonight for Joe

    Check.

  22. Does that really count as a stolen base though? No one covered second and Joe didn't even bother getting up.

        1. There is, but I think the Twins are waiting for it to be available as a generic.

  26.  

     

    [x] Two hits for Span
    [x] Two hits for Mauer
    [/] Two hits for Morneau
    [ ] Two walks for Willingham

  28. I can't believe Damon is still playing baseball professionally.

  39. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  42. heh, dazzle's talking about his clandestine efforts to spy on the indians' draft planning.

    1. he claims he was looking for the radio booth, but instead walked into their draft meeting. he declined to disseminate any intel on the air, but did mention he'd spoken to rob anthony.

  46. Mitch: Blah blah, this is exactly what you have to do.
    *Capps does something different and gets the called strikeout.*
    Mitch: Or you do that.

    2. I really wish the TNT online thing would include the time of game. It would be very handy.
