Hudson's getting killed.

QUOTE (PlunketChris @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 02:25 PM) I dont know if I buy that the Twins are the team to beat. Their pitching is absolutely tanking lately. It'll be nice to actually get into first place. I think it'll be good for the team, keeping confidence up while on the break. Detroit has even worse pitching and they have two flukes waiting to tank in Boesch and Jackson.

Even though Carlos is killing the ball, he's still missing some pitches he should be hitting really hard.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 02:21 PM) When was the last time we were rooting for the Twins to win? I'm not going to root for them. They're going to be the better team in the long run than the Tigers. But if they win, good, cause we'll be in first. I'd rather have long term gratification than short term though.

Aviles just airmailed that one.

Juan Pierre might be too fascinated with stolen bases and infield base hits.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 02:19 PM) Stealing on a 3-0 is just about the dumbest thing I've ever seen. You're one pitch away from a walk and he's most likely getting a FB. It's a terrible, terrible idea.

Why the hell would you run when the count is 3-0?

Imagine how many SBs Pierre would have if he actually gets on base at a .350-.360 clip.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 02:14 PM) So, why is Jose Guillem even playing? It's obvious he's hurt. This is KC we're talking about, they're not very logical. Juan is on.

Ah, Garland with back to back shutouts back in 05. I remember that very well.

It would be weird if he didn't go in as a Indian.

He needs to throw that change up more often.

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 02:13 PM) Dude gives up a lot of fly-balls. He didn't do this in the minors.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jul 11, 2010 -> 01:59 PM) Probably should have had a red... They've all been actual fouls, but this is getting a bit ridiculous.

8-3.

With a little more patience, I think Viciedo can become a Billy Butler-like hitter. Hits the ball hard and lots of line drives.

Detroit making a come back. 4-2 Twins now.

Way too many at 'em balls for Gordon. Come on Hudson, pitch three more quality frames.

Come on Gordo, join the fun.

So uh, why didn't we hit Lerew the other day?

Back to back! Twice now!

Hey, I agree with Hawk here, Andruw's one of the better players in the history of the game, especially on defense.

Curtain call!

There's your run support Dan Hudson.
