I liked the AJ that used to hit to all fields, the one we had this year. Last years pull only AJ didnt do too well.

AJ's batting average in full dive mode

Not that i can remember. As much as i like to see Radke possibly hurt for the TWins, he was looking very hittable tonite. I hope that 2nd inning doesn't come back to haunt us

 

I would have much rather Radke stay in this game.

Fields and Sweeney both had good days down @ AAA,

 

Fields 2-4 2B, BB, SO, RBI

 

Sweeney 2-4 2 2B, BB, RBI

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCH

What a play!!

Gooch with a NICE stab!

Gooch flashing some leather.

Its almost time to warm up the pen. 2nd time through the lineup, once we get to 3 its magic time.

 

 

 

Nice play by Gooch.

Iguchi is one of the reasons why I think defensive statistics are full of s***. Nearly every one says that he's a pretty bad fielder, but he's made some spectacular plays this year.

I'm pretty sure Ozzie thinks there's a rule that starting pitches have to pitch into the 7th.

There's no excuse to not bring in McCarthy early if Vazquez starts to falter

Who will make the first Cy Young joke tonight?

Nice to see Javy isn't throwing as many meatballs tonite.

Cuddyer is a pain in the ass (even if he did K). Just like most of the Twins. I hate the Twins.

Um, I guess I will. Brandon McCarthy is not Cy Young, you know!

 

I like the cut of Javy's jib tonight...SO FAR!

He's doing this with a medicore fastball so far. He just has to keep his offspeed pitches down.

46 pitches thru 4

Well he is pre 75 pitches or the 3rd time through the lineup. This is when he looks like Cy Young. Lets see what happens when the clock strikes >75 >5th inning >3rd time through the lineup.

yay

*knocks on wood*

Good idea.

Javy's ERA dips below 5 after that last out.
