J.J.'s scoreless streak might be in jeopardy.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 09:43 PM) Scoring more runs than the opposition is what wins games. Pitching helps prevent runs from being scored. A .600 OPS DH helps the opposition in the same manner. In our case, the pitching is winning us games, even the .700 OPS from a DH can produce runs.

I'd rather see Putz in the 8th TBH with you. Especially with Mauer up this inning.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 09:42 PM) Its amazing we have won as many games as we have with Brian Anderson as our DH. Pitching wins games.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 09:40 PM) I love the caller yesterday to sports radio that said he enjoyed watching the All-Star Game, as it's a great preview of who KW will sign in 5-10 years. That guy is awesome.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 09:40 PM) To be fair it really doesnt matter who the pitcher is to get those 2 out this season. This is very true.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 09:39 PM) No Wouldn't you lose the DH that way?

I was talking about this earlier. Having A.J. and Kotsay back to back makes it extremely easy for Gardenhire to bring in a lefty and retire these two.

That was pretty ugly.

Kotsay's batting average is approaching .240 and his OBP is approaching .330. Call the police!

According to Hawk, battling is in Danks' DNA. Ha.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 09:34 PM) Wow Danks, GUTSY! Ha, if the scorer was accurate, should be 0 earned runs. I still can't see how that wasn't an error. When the ball is in the fielder's glove and he drops it, it usually is. Now, it would be ridiculous to charge that error to Rios, but still...

What a job by Danks.

Danks almost @ 100 pitches. Let's hope he can get out of the 6 with no damage done.

That was one fast pickoff move.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 09:26 PM) Yes, they do that all the time actually. Okay thanks, I was actually pretty curious. I don't remember seeing it all that often.

Wow that is one ridiculously high strike.

lol @ Twins fans attempting to start a fight.

1000 hits for Rios!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 09:22 PM) That's actually a semi-serious question.

Is it normal for a left fielder to throw the ball to a center fielder after the final out so the CFer can throw the ball back into the infield? Or is Pierre's arm just that weak?

I have a feeling A.J. is going to hurt himself while trying to slam his bat down one day. He's gotta stop doing that.

A.J. needs to stop swinging at head high fastballs.

Just foul.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 08:18 PM) AJ swung at ball 3. Hopefully that would've been called a ball. He swings at balls all the time.
