Here is the Twins lineup against the Orioles:
Ben Revere LF
Brian Dozier SS
Joe Mauer C
Justin Morneau DH
Josh Willingham RF
Chris Parmelee 1B
Sean Burroughs 3B
Luke Hughes 2B
Joe Benson CF
SP: Carl Pavano
Orioles
Xavier Avery CF
Robert Andino SS
Nick Johnson DH
Nolan Reimold LF
Wilson Betemit 3B
Chris Davis 1B
Ronny Paulino C
Ryan Flaherty RF
Matt Antonelli 2B
SP: Wei-Yin Chen
I'm hopeing Dozier has a solid game today. I would rather have him start at SS over Carroll but I know that won't happen right away.
Today might be the last chance for Burroughs to impress the staff before they start thinking about sending him down. I am hoping that Justin shows that his timing is coming back, because he hasn't shown much yet.
Anyone have a game update?
Pavano is getting cuffed around pretty good. Your Opening Day starter, ladies and gentlemen!
Not a good day for Pavano 4 IP 8 H 6 ER...Twins are down 6-1 in the middle of the fourth.
Thanks.
Ugh, though.
3 doubles/triple and HR off Pavano
Mauer 2-2
Just from MLB.com: Pavano 4 innings, 6 runs on 8 hits...ouch!Quote:

This is what happens when you have nothing but #3 starters in your organization.
Morneau 0-2
.094
1-2-3 inning for Duensing at least.
Maybe Pavano is just working on a specific pitch today. I HOPE!
Welp. Might have to explore this topic for the TwinsCentric Strib post tomorrow...Quote:
Morneau 0-2
.094
Capps in, coughs up HR to first batter(Chris Davis)
pop out/ground out/K looking for Capps the rest of his inning.
Dozier walked in the sixth, Mauer 6-4-3 GIDP
You know its a bad day for the team when even Perkins gets lit up. 4 hits and only 1 out.
.091 with Morneau's liner to 3rd
