Sox vs Santana
we havent seen too much of him, but from what we have seen, we have a few who have hit him well, and a few who havent hit him well at all
Good:
Lee: 4-11, .364 BA, 2 2B, 1 HR, 1.235 OPS
Thomas: 3-6, .500 BA, 2B, HR, 3BB/0K, 1.833 OPS
Rowand: 3-8, .375 BA, HR, 1.125 OPS
Everett: 3-3, 2.000 OPS
Ordonez: 4-11, .364, 2 HR, 1.294 OPS
Bad:
Valentin: 1-9, .111 BA, 1BB/5K, .311 OPS
Konerko: 1-5, .200 BA, .533 OPS
S. Alomar: 1-5, .200 BA, 2B, 0BB/2K, .600 OPS
so despite Santana's success this year, he hasnt exactly pitched well against our "core" hitters
Twins vs Garland
Garland has actually held most of the Twins in check in his prior meetings with them
Good:
Jones: 11-26, .423 BA, 2 2B, .944 OPS
Koskie: 11-24, .458 BA, 5 2B, HR, 1.292 OPS
Pierzynski: 5-19, .263, 1 2B, 2 HR, .932 OPS
Bad:
Guzman: 4-23, .174 BA, .414 OPS
Hunter: 4-22, .182 BA, 2B, HR, 1BB/5K, .572 OPS
Mientkiewicz: 4-20, .200 BA, 3B, 2BB/6K, .604 OPS
Stewart: 2-19, .105 BA, .255 OPS
Rivas: 4-17, .235 BA, .585 OPS
Mohr: 3-12, .250 BA, 0BB/3K, .500 OPS
So looking at how we do against Santana and how the Twins do against Garland, although i'm not awfully confident, it gives me more confidence that we can win this game tonight
