Game 25 - Twins @ Seattle - 5/4/12

[mikeee]

let the whining about drew butera getting to play commence, i guess!!

you said he wouldn't get many at bats as a 3rd catcher!!!!!

[twinswon1991]

The Twins are to only organization dense enough to give Butera at bats at ANY level. This guy should be employed at McDonalds and should not be allowed within 10 miles of a bat.

[mikeee]

POP out for Butera on the first pitch.

[mikeee]

If I were at the ballpark, I would have boo'ed.

[mhanson93]

Well, now it's 1-0 Mariners. That should just about be enough run support to lock up the win for them.

[Alex]

Had Valencia been on the bag, Carrol's diving stop would have been an out.

Will the Twins ever score again? If the over/under is the 6th inning tomorrow, which do you take?

The radio crew was trying to figure out what the record was for most innings without scoring.

The record for most consecutive innings shut out is 48 by the 1906 philadelphia A's and also the 69 cubs... Also the most games being shut-out consecutively is 4 which has been accomplished 11 times most recently by the same 69 cubs only reason there is so many innings is because i believe one of those shutouts went like 21 innings or something

[mikeee]

Plouffe replaces Butera..

[twinswon1991]

I wonder what the record is in the modern era (1980's to present). I would guess the Twins are very close to the record.

[mikeee]

Plouffe draws the walk in a good at bat to load the bases for Span.

The 2007 braves almost hit the 4 game streak think they were the most recent and the closest to the record i believe, they were shutout 30 innings

[mikeee]

Sounds like we lucked out and avoided the double play, with an error on the pitcher.

[mikeee]

run scores.. the drought is over.

[gil4]

In play, run(s)!!!

(Waiting to see what happened.)

[Ultima Ratio]

Carroll hits a grand slam???

[mikeee]

tie game. 2 out.

[asmus_ndsu]

Well boys the runnless streak ended at 24 innings funny how the most fun weve had watching is seeing how long it would last

[asmus_ndsu]

Oh by the way sano hit two more homeruns today one in each game of a double header...
