Royals ***Official Kansas City Royals @ Minnesota Twins Game Thread (4/13)*** - Page 4

The Twins are in for a fun lil 3 games wouldn't you say?

My first game thread and the way things are going, I like the Royals odds this game.

Interesting fact for this game: Duffy is 3-0 with a 1.35 ERA in four career games at Target Field. Duffy has no explanation for his success there. "Just a coincidence, I'm guessing," he said. "I do like the park. It's really nice." This will be the first time Duffy will start in a team's home opener. "I just got to take the pill and throw it and keep it rolling for us," he said.

Game time - 3:10 PM

*****Royals Win*****, Still undefeated with a sexy record of 7-0, delicious.

12 - 3

Game Thread Record - 1-0

Hard to argue with this sound logic.

I too was hoping to see Sal rest today so he could get two days off in a row and be fully refreshed.

While he obviously isn't worn down right now this looks like a good time to give him a break. I'd probably also start the Brazilian to give Gordon three full days of rest on the wrist.

Hootie · 04-13-2015, 01:18 PM

I guess I overlooked the fact we have an off day tomorrow so I'm no longer thinking a Sal rest day is necessary ... considering how hot his bat is.

**Saul Good** · 04-13-2015, 01:19 PM

Sam Mellinger was on 810 this morning and said that he expects that Alex will be battling the wrist issue all season long. Wouldn't mind seeing a straight platoon for the first month of the season at least.

**Saul Good** · 04-13-2015, 01:22 PM

Well shit. Cole had Cabrera down 0-2, and he singled. He then had Martinez down 0-2 and walked him. First and second, no outs for Detroit down 2-0 in the 7th.

**Saul Good** · 04-13-2015, 01:27 PM

Cole is going straight Duffy. Three consecutive 0-2 counts have turned into base runners. Bases loaded, no outs.

Hootie · 04-13-2015, 01:29 PM

can't wait to be 103-59 and be the #1 Wild Card seed!

Hootie · 04-13-2015, 01:31 PM

I wouldn't hold it against Ned at all if he started getting Dyson 2 starts per week or so by resting Rios / Gordon and Cain from time to time. It's going to take more than 7 or 8 ABs before I decide Paulo Orlando is anything other than a flash in the pan 1 week wonder. Dyson is a very good Major League OF'er.

Of course, I wouldn't rest anyone or do a thing differently until, you know, we lose a game. The Alex rest after a night game with a day game is fine.

..and no chaser at that.

**ChiTown** · 04-13-2015, 01:34 PM

3-1 Pitt

**Saul Good** · 04-13-2015, 01:34 PM

Pirates reliever gets out of it giving up only 1 run on a double play ground out. Pirates answer with a first pitch HR in the bottom of the 7th...followed by an infield single on the next pitch...then bunted to second.

Nickel D · 04-13-2015, 01:35 PM

Pedro Alvarez slams a solo shot over the wall in the bottom of the 7th to give Pittsburgh their 2-run lead back over the Tigers, 3-1.

**ChiTown** · 04-13-2015, 01:37 PM

Corey Hart with 2-Run shot. 5-1 Bucs

Great Expectations · 04-13-2015, 01:38 PM

Q

Pirates just went up 5-1.

**Saul Good** · 04-13-2015, 01:38 PM

Hootie · 04-13-2015, 01:38 PM

well *knock on wood* but it looks like we're going to be the last remaining undefeated team
