QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 02:35 PM) At least until Q pulls his head out of his tail, those numbers argue for a platoon. And I actually agree with that. Although I'd rather have Quentin play more than Teahen and maybe let Q DH time to time as well. I've posted this a few times already, I just do not want Teahen batting against lefties.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 02:31 PM) And Quentin is putting up a .788 OPS against Lefties and .680 against righties. Sit Teahen out for sure with his .366 OPS against lefties.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 02:30 PM) FWIW, Teahen's OPS against righties was .820. Don't tell me we couldn't use that. Yeah but he needs to not hit against lefties. I don't mind letting him get in the lineup when he's back.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 02:23 PM) And I'm not going to give guys credit for that. If you're hitting .321 and you're a .200 hitter, you're just as likely to hit .100 with RISP the rest of the season. The question is whether or not Quentin is a .200 hitter. So far this year, he is a consistent .200 hitter. Alright, I'll give him credit for those 30 RBI's then. Teahan's not exactly tearing it up either with his .250 or so average.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 02:15 PM) As I jsut noted, he really isn't. At least not yet. The biggest difference is Quentin is batting .321 with RISP where Teahen is batting .233. Otherwise they do seem similar.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 02:07 PM) Detroit and Minny both leading 3:1 Cy Pavano outdueling Halladay That run for the Twins sucked. They had Morneau in a pickle after he got a lead off single and rounded the base too far. But Howard threw the ball into Morneau's back letting Morneau get to 2nd.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 02:05 PM) Never heard that, but did pick up comments on ESPN BBTN and MLB Network about the Sox are right back in this again. I think it is Harold Reynolds who likes the Sox chances I'm watching the Yankees/Mets game and they were talking about who's hot and who's not. Gave most praise to the Sox and Rangers. But that'll happen when you're 9-1 in your last 10 games.

TBS was talking about the AL Central and the White Sox saying the Sox have strong enough starting pitching to be there until the end of the year.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 01:58 PM) Wilson Valdez homered again. 2-1 Twins. lol took him nearly 6 years between homers 1 and 2, now 1 day between 2 and 3.

haha that is good.

I had no idea baseball player/author Miguel Batista was on the Nationals.

yay PK!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 01:46 PM) I think most people would think "the Knights have a rally going". Yeah very true.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 01:44 PM) We need to capitalize here. Hows about a XBH here Al Rivers? Way to go Al Rivers!

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 01:42 PM) Make this inning last long enough to get to Dayan and Bacon. If you said this a week ago most people would be like, what are you talking about?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 20, 2010 -> 01:20 PM) Viciedo with a rocket single! He's had more quality at bats than Nix did all season. Oh come on, Nix had a Grand Slam!

Game. I know this shouldn't take away from the Sox win today. But I had this one booked in the L column for the Twins. Kind of sucks.

13-10 now.

you have an open base and you let Delmon Young hit. are you serious?

ROSS GLOAD TIES THE GAME WITH 2 OUTS IN THE 10TH

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 19, 2010 -> 06:28 PM) Well then. So much for pulling within 4.5 of the Twins. Yeah it sucks. But we probably still would've been 5 behind the Tigers. This is the type of game that'll turn the Twins around though.

Homer for the Twins. 10-9 now. Can't believe this. First major league homer for Buetera.

Extra innings.

Howard K's. It's up to Werth now.

It bothers me how well Rauch has done with the Twins after his debacle here.
