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.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 12:12 AM) HOPEFULLY he can make it through 5 Well, Ozzie's going to give him at least 5 innings. I just hope Ozzie is proactive in his approach with the bullpen tonight. Our pen should be fresh.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 12:10 AM) Letting Millwood and Howry go is going to hurt em IMO I didn't know that Matt Miller is lost for the season. He was a solid reliever for them.

It's so refreshing to hear DJ be critical of Garcia's approach.

89 mph for Garcia on that fastball. His changeup was 79 mph.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 12:04 AM) Yeesh. Sadly, I doubt I'm the only one who fully expects Cleveland to come back in this game.

A very rare K for Crede.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 12:03 AM) Yes, the pitch selection was correct, Freddy didn't mean to hang the curve though. He's not trying to hang his breaking stuff. ^^^^^^^^

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 23, 2006 -> 12:01 AM) That's cause Torii tried hitting all 3 to me in Carbondale. He swung so hard that he was opening up extremely early, that was just an awful at bat. They were such bad pitches that Hunter swung under them. Trust me, I'm not complaining about the outcome. I'm just not confident he's going to keep the Twins scoreless with the stuff he has right now.
