Nice catch by Jermaine there.

carlos has had a ball pop out of his glove two or three times...gotta squeeze those

 

His glove is too big

Get in the game Swisher!

His glove is too big

 

Seems to like to hot dog it a little too much.

 

Did he at least get an error on it?

 

Man on third, less than two outs.... a Sacrifice Fly? you mean he didnt strike out, hit into a double play, or popout on the infield?

 

Thats unfair.

I thought it was bizarre that a guy scored all the way from first but no Twin scored him on a hit that inning.

First and second nobody out and the Twins swing at the first pitch twice....

 

another unearned run

 

Oz no hit and run

 

What did Swisher do, I stepped away.

I am looking at the ESPN box score and they have that as an earned run. How can that be an earned run?

Much better swings by some of the guys tonight.

Another Swisher RBI attempt

Walk

Error - to 2nd

Flyout - advance to 3rd

Sac fly - score

 

Typical Minny way to score runs.

Its debatable whether or not it would have mattered, but, he lost the ball in the lights for a second and didnt get into a good throwing position to attempt a play at the plate.

 

I dont think he would have had a shot anyways.

Yeah, but he doesn't score without the error as they didn't even get a hit/walk.

Lets go Dirty30

why is Swisher considered an RBI guy? He needs ot get new bats as they break every time he touches the ball.

 

Here comes a pop out on the infield.

Someone please get Swisher a new supply of bats. If that doesn't tell him he needs to stay back on the pitch, I don't know what will.

Nobody hit hence it's an unearned run.

Nice hustle, Swish!

Take him out for Anderson why not?

Honestly...Swisher has been a disappointment so far...

Great off the field...but I rather have a Albert Belle producing.

Injury delay says Gameday. Details?

Bert Blyleven just made an interesting observation. He was talking about slumping players, advancing runners, etc....and he said with the group the Sox have now they have had success early with the home run and being a bunch of "mashers"...he was watching them take batting practice and said nobody really worked on opposite field hitting and just seemed to go up there swinging as hard as the could.

 

Hmmmmm...who asked what does a hitting coach have to do with guys in slumps?!? Just thought it was in interesting observation from an outsider.

Crede can't get the job done....he's been bad ever since the Joba hit.

Edited May 7, 200817 yr by fathom

At least Crede's sad ass pop up carried to the leftfielder.

 

Well another wasted scoring opportunity.

I cant understand how we cant f***ing get a guy home from third w/ less than 2 outs.

 

Its re-f***ing-diculous
