Wow...that was perfect. Still quite the challenge to get this runner home.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 01:31 AM) This is the first time Boone has had problems throwing strikes including spring training. If he can throw strikes he'll be fine, if he doesnt he's not going to be good, it's that simple. Got to give him a few more outings before you send him packing. Yep....lets just use him where if he allows a few runners, it won't make the game close.

We either have to use Logan in total mop-up situations, or send his ass down. No reason he should be pitching in serious situations.

BREATHE!

Oh my....what a fluke play. And Boone's debacle has brought the tying run to the plate. Terrible managing by Ozzie.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 01:19 AM) Get him the f*** out of there Yep....I don't see the point of f***ing around with 2 outs in the 7th inning. In the past, when we gave the Twins a chance, they took advantage of it. Boone belongs in AA ball, not in the majors.

Well....we're giving the Twins some hope.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 01:17 AM) Boone looks like he hasn't pitched for a while. Maybe because he hasnt. He pitched on Monday. If a loogy can't come in and throw strikes, he's pretty much worthless.

Why Boone, and not Thornton?

Good job Freddy! It wasn't pretty, but we couldn't ask for more.

Ozzie should consider Garcia incredibly lucky tonight, and let McCarthy start the 7th.

And that's why you don't throw his curves. Ozzie... please get the bullpen up!

Like I said last night, you don't f*** with our 3-4-5. Lets get another run here.

And here comes the Indians....7-2 and counting.

Good job keeping them to one run to prevent a big momentum shift.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 12:27 AM) I will be pleasantly surprised if Ozzie pulls Freddy at the right time. Maybe it will start to storm again.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 12:27 AM) Hey-o good pitch there for once. I'm telling you...his best chance of fooling a hitter is with his changeup to lefties.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 12:25 AM) The Twins are literally going to steal a run here. I'll have no problem if it's just one run.

This 4 run lead seem small to anyone else, or is it just me being a pessimist?

This is going to be a troublesome inning. Garcia looks like absolute s*** right now. We know Ozzie won't be taking him out though this inning.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 12:21 AM) Pods gone. Still not looking good on the bases. Perfect peg by Mauer though. I think it was too obvious of a steal situation. Radke had a very fast delivery, and Redmond was nearly standing up before the pitch.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 12:18 AM) They scored 18 runs in their last series against the great pitching of the Angels. No Castillo hurts them...but I'm not complaining.

Well, we can't argue about the results so far.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 12:14 AM) ANOTHER hanger! With the tilt on Garcia's offspeed pitch, it has to be a hanger to be a strike.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 12:13 AM) LOTS of Garcias pitches are very flat right now...just laying them in there...they aren't gonna be hit at people all night, he better get it going. His only pitch that's close to being above average right now is his changeup, and he can only throw that vs lefties.
