I am so fed up with this bullpen.

Why do we struggle against the opponent's bottom of the order all the time?

QUOTE (ChiSox420* @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 05:22 PM) Just not the health kind because then we'd be a team of Socialists

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 05:16 PM) Please give me Thornton here... Ozzie obliges

Why was Beckham even with the bag? Was Laird a bunt threat with no one on?

Alexei still hitless in his career vs Jackson. Maybe we need to put in Nix next time we face him.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 05:04 PM) 102 pitches and 6 innings in the book for Gavin... What do you do? I keep him out there.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 05:03 PM) 102 pitches for G through 6. He could start the 7th potentially if he feels up to it. Damn we need to win this game. I think he can start the 7th especially since it'll be the lower 3rd of their lineup.

Gavin can pitch 1 more after that quick inning.

f*** yeah!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 04:58 PM) Wouldn't Mitchell at #1 be the best possible scenario? Indeed

MVP up with 2 on 2 out.

Beck just seems like a prototypical #2 hitter.

Since his return I wonder which has been more effective, the current Q or the Wise/BA combo during his absence. They're probably very close.

Q turning into AJ. Never lays off the 1st pitch.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 04:45 PM) Long term I still want Beckham as a #3 hitter. Right now, I still like Alexei in the 2 hole. You think he'll ever have the pop to be a #3? I'm not so sure.

Well I'll be damned. Nice DP of Granderson and Polanco.

Well that's pretty much a double.

At least the Twins keep crapping their shorts.

Still no outs

MVP! MVP! MVP!

Raburn with a Pods-like flail at the ball.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 04:19 PM) 76 pitches through 4 for Gavin. I think he'll probably get through 6. Best case scenario yes. If we need to go to the bullpen for the final 4 I'm not so confident we'll take this one.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 04:10 PM) My brother was just noticing how stiff his swing is. I know he always had the exaggerated stance, but even earlier this year, it seems like his mechanics are just awful. Agreed. He never looked 'right' this season.

Wasn't Paulie hitting .305 earlier this week? He'll be below .280 before this series is over.
