wow. Konerko is in some kind of slump..

Konerko's blazing April continues

Thome flies out, 2 outs.

 

PK strikes out swinging. Absolutely baffled by the pitch.

 

 

The best hope for this game is to keep it within 2-3 runs and try to get to their bullpen in the 7-9th innings.

 

Those quick innings aren't going to get Verlander out sooner, though.

 

53 pitches for Verlander through 3.

Ump seems to have expanded the zone down a couple inches since the first inning. Granderson grounds out.

Wow....thankfully PK has two big hits this series, cause this is as bad as he's looked in a long time. Give him a day off tomorrow or Tuesday.

PK could definitely use a day off.

 

Toby can back him up at 1st...oops

Verlander's actually already got 52 pitches.

PK could definitely use a day off.

 

And this way Anderson can play in CF, and we won't be missing the grinder effect with him at 1B.

Erstad will be glad to grind away over there.

 

EDIT: How the heck does Infante have 15 career hits against Garland? He's not even an everyday player....

Something I just looked up. Sox are dead last in doubles with 16, and the Twins lead with 46.

Garland with another nice inning.

Why do you need doubles when you can grind your way to first?

Wow, that's amazing. Shockingly we had two in a row to win the game yesterday also. Doubles is a good example of a team hitting the ball hard, which we have definitely not done so far this year.

good morning, good afternoon, good night.

Verlander freezes Dye. 1 out.

Wow, that looked pathetic even on gameday.

This is the part of the game where we've let good pitchers with high pitch counts go an extra inning or so do to hacking away. Verlander's getting locked in.

I'm not shocked at all. Thome has taken a ton of walks and PK can't hit. That cuts the doubles down a lot.

Erstad can't have more than 2 extra base hits this year.

 

Holy cow....that was pathetic.

Crede with the weakest out ever. Verlander is making guys look stupid now.

She was pretty attractive.

At least Crede saw a few pitches. Verlander's at 65 now. One good inning and we can knock him out during the 6th or just make sure he doesn't get into the 7th.

Maggs could use a haircut.

Uribe will work him next inning, I'm sure.

The Twins also have 162 hits and the Sox only have 114 (which is also dead last).

Another nice inning by Garland. Seriously, the first inning woes have to stop.
