That's interesting, as you look at the guys we've hit well lately, and we did it on the fastball....Niemann, E. Jackson, Ohlendorf

 

Daniel Cabrera, Justin Verlander, Jeremy Guthrie. Hard throwing righties don't do so well against us, because of our one-dimensional approach. Look fastball, See fastball, Hit fastball.

Hawk just said "b**** and moan," LOL.

Justin Verlander does good against us?

Hell no. We own him.

Gotta make a Massett jersey for your sig now JD.

Let's see how the Twins execute to get the runner at 2nd in.

cabreras not the best example seeing as how he pitched like 7 innings of 1 run ball yesterday, even though if we had any 2 out hitting we woulda rocked him

Situational hitting. We could use some.

We just need more hits. Walks is great and all, but unless you have Quentin getting HBP with the bases loaded, you need to be able to drive runs in. I would bet we lead the league in fewest amounts of hits that scored runs in the past 3 seasons that weren't homers.

Cabrera might have had a shot at Punto going to 3rd.

throw strikes Boone and you'll be ok, the hitters will get themselves out.

I think we've been hitting pretty well, but just not at the right time. We're getting lead-off men on, whether with singles or with walks, but we can't do anythign after that. I don't remember the last time we hit a double.

It would have been close. You go for the out there. If you don't make the play, a sacrifice fly scores a run instead of ending the inning.

We're near the bottom of the league in Avg. We're not hitting particularly well.

actually we probably have the fewest hits per earned run of any team in the last 2-3 years, someone should check that out of its possible lol

Couldn't agree more about the doubles comment.

Did Hawk say "b**** and moan" about the player's union at one point?

The ball was in front of the runner. If Cabrera squares his shoulders when fielding that ball, he's got Punto.

time to steal one

JD! Nice catch to save the run. Speaking of runs...let's f***ing get some.

nice job, boonerz

guess that groin is okay.

But we are getting timely hitting in April for the most part. It worries me because you can't always count on timely hitting to win games. I'd much rather have the average around .270 than .245 with timely hitting. Obviously wins are the most important stat so however that happens is ok by me, but it'd be better getting more hits.

Dye making another sliding catch.

we better get at least 1 run this inning...cuz i dont know that we can get 2 off of nathan
