Heads22 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Can't complain too much with that inning. I wonder when Brian realized it's ok to stay with the outside pitch and drive it to the opposite field? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Small complaint, but why were they not running on that double? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Did Alexei have to jump on the first pitch? We've left two on third now. Gotta at least get one of them in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd give that honor to Quentin, too. Konerko and Dye can also quite easily go out to RCF, especially JD. Beckham isn't used to playing in the Dome. He should have known when Cuddyer turned his back on the ball that it was going to be either a homer (missed by a foot) or off the baggy and picked up the 3rd base coach to see if Cox would send him home or not, but probably 8/10 chance he scores if he reads it correctly. At least Pods got him in, it would have sucked when we should have been leading 4-0 to only have the 2-0 lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 04:54 PM) He's strong as hell, but often seems to think he can pull anything. If he could learn to drive the outside pitch the other way constantly, rather than weakly pulling it on the ground like he always does, that'd almost be the trigger for him. But bah.

caulfield12 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 (edited) Good line by the Twins' announcers...the White Sox are looking for a fifth starter, WE'RE looking for a first starter. Probably it's Blackburn for now, but he's certainly more like a Radke type than Liriano/Santana in 2006. ANTI-JINX: Yes, Gavin, you looked really good last time out against KC until things fell apart in the middle innings on you, along with the Alexei Dumbfense.

chw42 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 We need to knock Perkins out of the game this next inning and tag some more runs. More as in 3 or 4 more. Unless this Twins team goes down 7 or 8, they can somehow come back. We saw that last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I f***ing love Floyd. Have I said it enough times that I think Floyd is the best starter we have. ERA under 2 since May 21st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pretty dumb statement by some pretty dumb announcers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was good last year, but only pitched 70 innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Perkins back up to 90 MPH now...should have finished him off. Let's hope Gavin can shut down the Twins until we get to their middle relievers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
