Freddy's given up 11 hits. He has to go take a shower and leave it to the pen to try to avoid a Minnie meltdown.

Nice read by Kotsay. Hilarity. Freddy got out of it. I was wrong. I thought today Freddy was only good for five.

Cmon magic man, be a magician and somehow escape.

Can Freddy get one more out?

How do you take that pitch? We're f***ed folks.

That was ball four in this day and age since it was above the belt.

Oz can't make up his mind on this one. I have no idea what he should do, I just want another out. threets don't thrill me.

I thought Q mighta got hurt hustling on that infield hit. He waited another inning or two. Hope he's fine.

Then ain't dead yet. Six runs needs to be enough today. Please.

This is interesting. Do we mow down the Twins the rest of this game and split the series 2-2 on a weekend Detroit lost all four and everybody's loving life again? Or do the piranhas (sp) bash Fred this inning, get right back in it, beat us and it's all doom and gloom? I ain't got the answers today.

Juan and Omar are not great hitters.

This is not an "I told you, so." But to those who wanted Gordon sent down, can't you see now that that decision is not right for every struggling second year player? He's figured it out apparently by himself and rode out the storm.

Beckham deserves these hits falling after all those outs earlier in the year.

What's the pitch count on Freddy? I just think after WATCHING every pitch today, he has Blackburn-itis and his pitches are screaming "hit me!" Hope I'm wrong cause I bet Fred is coming out. Nice hit, Castro!!! Rite up the middle.

But is this a so-called "statement game?" Shouldn't we go with Putz, Thornton and Bobby and give it our best shot to keep the lead?

I think Freddy's coming out to pitch the 7th. Normally I'd be OK with that, but we prolly should go Putz to Thornton to Bobby.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 07:50 PM) Quentin!! How the hell did that ball go so far? Thanks Gardenhire, that was terrible managing. I'm afraid you are going to be saying the same about Ozzie soon, cause Freddy will be out for the next inning, won't he? Yuk at the thought of that today.

CQ lets that one pass, then takes it over the center fielder's head. Guess he knew what he was doing. Nice smash.

Pauling looking sick against the slop ... until that pitch. Very nice, Paulie.

Cmon Paulie, just stroke a hit to center like Rios just did.

I loved having Thome, but it's nice not seeing him hit into the shift for us any more. The defense on Dunn also means a big shift, right?

Freddy the magician. If we don't score a few off the hack this inning ... I don't know what to say.

Anybody on Soxtalk wanna pick up a bat vs. Freddy? Wow, meaty stuff.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 07:39 PM) We've scored 8, 4, and 2 runs in the 3 games since we came back. I'll grant we needed a better approach against Pavano yesterday, but that's 14 runs in 3 games, which isn't bad for how this team is built. Yeah but predictable the 4 and 2 resulted in losses.

Mauer is licking his chops at the meat Freddy is throwing him. Great DP, though.
