QUOTE(G&T @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 07:14 PM) Especially since he's been off today. Our hitters psyche themselves out against Santana. A perfect example was Dye's AB in the first inning. I don't know what he was looking for.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 07:14 PM) *searches for a positive* At least I can pay full attention to the Masters now. Well, if Erstad struggles against LHP, maybe Anderson will get a start this year.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 8, 2007 -> 07:13 PM) Ballgame It's going to be a long year if Santana makes us his b**** again.

Yuck

2, two strike changeups hit up the middle by the Twins. Danks has to get that fastball inside to keep them honest.

Not quite sure why Danks was throwing a change to Mauer.

We let Santana off the hook early with terrible ABs by Dye and Uribe. I still can't believe we couldn't find a spot for Eduardo Perez on this team. We've looked pretty miserable against LHP so far this year.

I guarantee this is the only time you'll hear me say this during the season, but it won't bother me if we lose today. Of more importance is that Danks shows he can be a competent starting pitcher in the majors.

Nice win! Let's get Johan tomorrow.

Nasty pitches by Jenks to Morneau. If he can keep getting his fastball fouled off for strikes, he'll be dynamite.

Let Jenks start the 9th.

Crede and AJP with disgusting swings.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Apr 7, 2007 -> 10:29 PM) Thank you all. Is Wade Boggs your favorite player in history now?

Thankfully he was safe, cause Mauer did a nasty job of blocking the plate.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Apr 7, 2007 -> 10:23 PM) The Sox love the pickoffs at 2B. It's probably the most commonly messed up play in all of baseball. I think it has to do with the angle the 2B or SS is at, and how they don't have a lot of room to catch the ball with the runner taking up the entire 3rd base side of the bag.

Smallball!! Good hustle by Pods. Gutsy play by Razor.

Remember how great of a bunter Erstad was on the Angels? I have more confidence in him getting it down than anyone else.

Juan has his pull swing going right now. I'm surprised Guerrier wasn't left in for one more batter.

Nice pitch at the knees after about 8 straight fastballs above the belt. Will Ozzie try to get cute and let Thornton face Mauer? I don't recall that working out to well last year.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 7, 2007 -> 10:10 PM) Great. Here comes Matt "Politte" Thornton. Matt "Shingo Politte" Thornton

If you're bringing in Thornton, might as well bring him in for Castillo.

Great job by Sisco throwing strikes.

QUOTE(beautox @ Apr 7, 2007 -> 09:58 PM) howd Javy look? i seen he gave up 4 walks and a hit, over 6. Terrific considering the small strike zone this ump has.

Guerrier typically makes pitching seem way too easy vs the Sox.

Some disappointing uppercuts the last few innings. Ozzie should have Sisco go to the mound, and make the Twins have a righty hit for Tyner, and then bring in MacDougal.
