Also looks like Dusty Hughes is tightening his grip on one of the Twins’ bullpen spots.

Looks like a bit of a rough 3rd inning for Duensing. Then again, he did K Crawford and Youk

Just following on GameDay here. Good to see two solid line ups for a ST game.

Seriously, though, you would think this kind of game would be what the powers-that-be would choose to televise. When you have two contending teams playing a ST game in a town where they BOTH have their ST facilities, it’s much more likely that you’re going to see the visiting team show up with a decent number of their star players. Those guys usually aren’t asked to make the 1-2 hour bus trips to other locations, but when the Sawx and Twins play at either home field in Ft. Myers, a lot of big names make the quick drive across town.

Gordo still can’t pronounce Nishi’s name – he says Nishiok-EE. But they did relate a fun story about how he asked if it was appropriate etiquette to try to disrupt the pitchers timing. Said he did it a lot in Japan but doesn’t want to make a pitcher so angry that he gets beaned… LOL

I guess they told him to do it as much as he wants but to be aware that if he really does piss off the pitcher that much, he might GET beaned…

And here’s Justin up to bat! Great ovation from the crowd.

Wow, except for this Holm guy behind the plate, it’s like the lineup for a real game!
