Nick Markakis always hits home runs against the Twins. Always.

Jeff Keppinger is batting cleanup for the Rays today. I know you are a mad scientist/evil genius, Maddon, but really? I guess you know something the rest of us don't know as usual. I understand the lefty/righty matchup, but Jeff ****ing Keppinger?

And naturally he comes up in the first with a chance to drive in some runs.

Or ground into a double play.

Edit: Well, almost. Didn't hit it hard enough to turn 2.

Would have been a double play but the runners were going.

I'll never forget the game in his rookie year ('06) where he hit 3 homers in a game against them.

Bases full of Rays with 2 outs in the 1st inning for Carlos Pena.

Re: 4/4 - 4/15 Game Discussion Thread

Bottom of the first inning, two outs, runners on 2nd and 3rd, Sean Rodriguez up to bat, intentionally walked which brings Carlos Pena to the plate. C.C. on the mound, so lefty-to-lefty.... Why would the Yankees elect to bring the power of Carlos Pena to the plate. Ugh..

Because Pena is 4/35 lifetime with 19 Ks against Sabathia.

Colby Lewis put that one right down the middle.

Re: 4/4 - 4/15 Game Discussion Thread

Dunn destroyed that pitch into the upper deck.

Ties Griffey and Frank Robinson with his 8th opening Day HR.
