Uribe has had some looooong at bats lately.

And he gets plunked on the hand!

Well, I'd say to Jose that we shouldn't retaliate...but he'll probably hit a couple guys anyway...so let's just hope it ain't on purpose.

And he gets plunked on the hand! 

That one was a 9 pitch at bat, he had a couple of those against both Boston and New York. He's definately doing something different...a week ago he was never getting this deep into counts.

Carl walks, 1st and 2nd, 1 out...Big Paulie coming up...ugh with a man on 2nd....

 

20 pitches thus far this inning for Lohse. No Double Plays paul!

Uribe is Jekyll and Hyde. This year he's been more Hyde, but lately he's looked MUCH better.

I think he finally figured out to keep his hands where they are and not pull them back and try and hit homeruns.

Wow, PK has only hit into 7 DP's this year according to Rooney. That's impressive and shocking.

Lohse having trouble getting together with Mauer...here comes pitch 27 this inning.

Just remember...I believe he was drafted before a couple guys named Prior and Teixiera, so comparisons with those 2 are pretty valid.

 

 

you gotta remember that Mauer was out for pretty much all last year with a knee injury. So this is is his first full season in the Major Leagues

Yuck

Hit n run w/ PK :puke

Don't you love our Ozzieball fundamentals...

That play make me sad in pants.

That was a solid first inning. Looked like the Red Sox and Yankees last week. They made the pitcher work. Sure they didn't score, but they saw a ton of pitches, and limitted how deep he can go in today's game.

 

Of course now, Lohse will now use 45 pitches to record the next 24 outs as the Twins win 1-0.

Very bad idea there :banghead

It wasn't a bad play. It was actually smart, as we tried to avoid the PK DP that was just as likely to happen if he hit the ball on the ground. It was just something that happens when a ball is blooped on the infield like that.

We have a much better chance at getting to Lohse than we do the Twins bullpen.

6 up, 6 down for Jose.

 

29 pitches for Lohse.

 

25 for Jose. In 2 innings.

Hawk with one of the most classless rants I've ever heard there about Mariotti.

obvoisuly you have not been following the exploits of Kyle Lohse this year. He is either really effecient with his pitches, or he has innings like that first inning and only goes 5 and throws 110 pitches

ROFL get a load of Hawk going off on Moronotti!!1!

Hawk saying where's Griffey Jr. going to play? Translation = he's not coming here.

Oh gee, I dunno Hawk. Considering he would instantly become the best hitter on our team I am sure we could find a spot for him.

It was funny listening to stats about Podsednik today, and just how below average his numbers are for an AL outfielder. Of course, compared to Timo, he's a stud.

No s***. Hawk should stick to play-by-play.
