Gordon saved a run there.

Not looking so good.

Hardy's got a couple of two out hits against us this year in some late inning situations.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 10:06 PM) Nice range by Rios...Delmon is freaking dangerous with the bat. He's that close to figuring it out. He just needs to take some more walks. He's no longer first pitch swinging.

Two down.

Alex's range = awesome.

Hmm, Santos in.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 10:00 PM) Should Rios have caught that ball? Probably, he had it in his glove, but I think he was afraid Carlos would run into him. But that is clearly Carlos' ball. If Rios' range wasn't so good, he doesn't get to that one.

Good job there by Pierre. Between he and A.J., they must take the most awkward swings in all of MLB.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 09:58 PM) Be my guest...if you want to buy some "special" milk, just PM me. What's that taste like?

Ozzie really played the numbers there. Thornton owns Kubel. 7 Ks in 11 ABs.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 09:55 PM) So now you leave Thornton in to get through the 8th, or at least through Thome, then bring Bobby in? Back him up with Santos. You at least him pitch to Thome.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 09:54 PM) Thornton with the gas. How'd we get our 8 runs? Who's the hero offensively? Lots of people. Beckham, A.J., even Juan Pierre.

HE GAWN! Putz's bro keeps his streak alive.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 15, 2010 -> 09:48 PM) I really hate how fans at stadiums always thing EVERY FLY BALL EVER is a homerun. It's sometimes hard to tell. But yeah, it gets annoying when it's just a routine fly ball.

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!
