loltrain Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Liriano leaves the game with an apparent elbow injury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Brantley is far from a doctor, but being an ex pitcher, I would expect him to know something about arm injuries. He said he did some research and thinks this elbow thing could be bad and Liriano could miss up to a year and a half. I really hope that is not the case. But Tommy Jon surgery means at least one year and it looks like Liriano is at least headed for that. Very unfortunate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Anyone know what's happening with Radke? I know he's got the bumb shoulder but are they just resting him hoping to get one or two starts at the end of the season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Sep 12 Updating a previous item, The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports Minnesota Twins SP Brad Radke (shoulder) played catch on Sept. 12 for the first time since he was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his right shoulder socket. Radke made firm tosses to pitching coach Rick Anderson, stretching back to 110 feet. Radke said he'll play catch again the next two days "and maybe move over to a mound toward the end of the week."

witesoxfan Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 (edited) The Twins are 79-12 when scoring 4+ runs  figured I'd edit. They lost another one Friday night, but followed that up with 2 more wins Edited September 18, 2006 by witesoxfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benchwarmerjim Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 thanks. I didnt want to post anything for fear of 'rubbing it in' Â I gotta be honest. I didnt think the Twins would be in the playoffs around the all star break. I mean they went on that long win streak and gained just about nothing and I was just hoping for a decent 3rd place finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without Liriano, they're looking at Santana-Bonser-Garza-Baker-whoever. With him, omfg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually surprised of the people saying they had no chance even though you guys have some solid players. Â Anyway, you guys deserve to be there. Good manager and you play hard.

Benchwarmerjim Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I would say Garza, or Baker who has pitched pretty good against the Yanks this year (12 IP/2 ER/2 Wins) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Let me be the first to congratulate the AL Central Champion Minnesota Twins.

The Ginger Kid Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I'm predicting the Twins win game 1 and that's it. Johan can't pitch every game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Bonser's pitched very well of late, except against the Sox, it seems as though Radke's always been a big game pitcher, and seeing as how he's going to retire after this year, he'll pitch until his arm falls off. You then throw Baker/Garza into the mix if they can, along with one of the best bullpens and the best hitting team in the league(for average), and I think they have a legit chance.

Chisoxfn Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 The Twins pitching without Liriano isn't that scary. Hate to say it but I don't see them going far. A's/Yanks to fight to see who wins the series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
