The game is on WGN if you need some Hawk Harrelson in your life.
And who doesn't?
Well, me for one, but if you like, fine.
Gotta say, I like the featured image, if not the jersey Snoop is sporting.
Oh, didn't know they were showing a rerun today.
Stop pitching to De Aza please.
Cosigned.
The second inning!
Looks like the bullpen will be getting some work today. 46 pitches through two innings.
Steve Stone with the definitive takedown of the slide into first. It's almost worth watching the Sox broadcast without the mute button on. Almost.
I dont mind watching Hawk/Stone Pony. But if I had to everyday, I might stab my ears.
Stone reins in Hawk quite a bit. The worst ever pairing was a series when it was Hawk and Frank Thomas. Thomas not only egged on Hawk's worst behavior, he added some of his own.
Stone worked with Harry Caray for years, so he's used to an old man rambling on without a point.
Interference! hahaha
Escobar winded after exposing the White Sox lack of fundamentals.
TWINS BASEBALL!!!
Between both teams, we've seen a balk, passed balls, wild pitches, hit batters, fielders interference.
Any guess to what we will see next?
Both clubs in mid-season form!
I'm hoping for a pitcher to forget that the third-to-first move isn't allowed anymore.
And an outfielder throw a 1-out flyball into the stands with runners on base.
Hitting out of order?
Oooooh, nice one.
or maybe this
Runners everywhere; why isn't Suzuki batting??
Sweet.
RUNS!
One thing Colabello has is opposite field power.
That one almost got to the warning track after about 5 bounces.
Oh, okay. "Watching" on computer.
BertnDick discussing some new fangled made up stat - BABIP.
Hughes with more strikeouts than innings pitched. Are starters allowed to do that?
I made these, suppose I should use them...
Arcia is off to a Hicksian start to the new season.
robbed on that one; batter singles after Hughes has four strikes on him
Home plate ump missed strike three, next pitch is a single. Of course.
strike four, actually
I think I'm going to like Hughes.
Colabelllllo!
Double the Cola!
Woot
Ah, che bello
Just came here to say, "That's a lovely Cola!"
I agree.
@cjzero GIF: Phil Hughes needs to throw this filthy curveball more often
Sweet Mother of ... like a Bert off the table!
Everyone in the OF stands gets a HR ball today!
Well, the whole "Hughes gives up home runs" meme is proving to be accurate so far.
At least the "gets strikeouts" part is also working.
Hughes tied last season's high for a starter.
This is awesome...
or sad. I can't decide which.
That's the part I'm going to enjoy. Over a strikeout an inning. It boggles the mind.
He's averaged about 1 HR per 7 innings over his career, so maybe he's just getting them out of the way for his next start?
I think Mr. Hughes has met the wall.
Well this inning isn't going so well.
#6pen
Well this inning isn't going so well
Might need a shortcut for this phrase; I'm going to contact sean and SEND HIM!!! the suggestion...
How about [#6pen]?
that would certainly tie things together nicely
a double play would be pretty awesome right now.
bases loaded walk? sure, add it to the misplays between both teams this series
Eesh, that Semiens guy seems like a really crappy hitter. I'm thinking walking him is cause for shame.
wooof, that was a Delmonesque route to the ball by Hicks.
welp, think I'll walk away from this one.
We might not have a very good team here, guys.
Nice obligatory slide by Mauer.
Come back everyone. The White Sox are also a terrible baseball team.
I almost went to this game but a) though the weather isn't too bad, I don't think I had quite enough clothes, b) I might have had to leave early anyway, and (most importantly) c) SH closed their ticket window way earlier than I was expecting.
It looks like Arcia needs more warm clothes.
CB Bucknor is having a terrible day behind the plate.
They should put C. B. Bucknor, Hunter Wendelstedt, Angel Hernandez, and Phil Cuzzi on the same crew.
and Cowboy Joe West as the replay chief.
They should put C. B. Bucknor, Hunter Wendelstedt, Angel Hernandez, and Phil Cuzzi
on the same crewout to pasture.ftfy
So close to tying it.
PINTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
New game!!!
Who needs Suzuki?
Pinto power! woooo!
There it is!
PINTO!!
Why cant we have nice things 🙁
#6pen
I was just talking to our old buddy Moss when the Twins tied 'er up. But, I guess we can't have nice things.
wow.
Robot Umps NOW!
What happened?
Reeeaalllly bad strike 3 call low and away. Baby J even got in CJ's face a little about it (which confirmed to Hawk it was indeed a bad pitch).
'member back when we scored like 40 runs on the Sox in a DH? yeah, me neither.
PLOUFFE! yay!
SWEET!
boy, these two teams are equally inept. good thing, too
Nobody wants to win this game.
Well, how about that. Not over yet!
w00t!
ARCIA'D!
I'm just glad that wasn't Eaton'd.
Lucky for us, the #whitesoxsuck
Where's Oswaldo?
I never noticed how large Pinto is.
TWINS BASEBALL!!!!
great googily moogily
:facepalm:
well, that play was apropos of this series.
Had them all the way!
If someone is posting puppies, they better be lying on their backs exhausted
I hit the treadmill when the Twins were pitching. That 6th inning almost killed me.
Never in doubt!
three blown saves, and the winning pitcher gave up the lead in the game
Colabello had 6 rbi today
can you name the last Twins to get at least 6 in a game?
Twins starters in three games have 16 Ks and 4 BBs in 16 innings. If they would just stop striking people out they could last longer in the game.
They need to learn how to pitch to contact.
