Mauer doubles.

That's just nasty by Mauer.

Nicely done by Garcia.

As usual, nicely done by by Garcia.

ASB wasn't too kind to our offensive rhythm, it seems.

Man was that ball hurt.

Garcia leaving a ton of breaking balls up in the zone. Delmon still kicks Garcia's ass after the HBP in his first AB.

Horrible scouting on Young. He almost always swings first pitch, you cant throw a good pitch.

Badger, it seems we scout the Twins worse than anyone, and they scout us better than anyone.

I want to tie about 5 of our hitters down to chairs and put them in front of a video on a loop of what exactly JJ Hardy did to that low and outside offspeed pitch Garcia just threw.

Twins have hit so many balls hard this series. Young/Mauer/Hardy seem to hit rockets every AB.

No biggie. It's Minny. winning more than 1 in a series is a near miracle. Just gotta play well in SEA and OAK.

Man, we need this one just so we can get our confidence back...

 

I wonder if Liriano and Pavano were that good or our offense still on ASB.

OK back of the lineup, come on, get at least the 1 in.

Looks like Alexei knew what he was doing! Time to get some runs off of this bum.

By the way, yeah, that hit existed entirely because of the fake bunt.

Nick Blackburn is hot garbage this year. They should be able to come back and put up a good amount of runs on him.

His sinker's been effective so far.

castro! quit trying to pull the ball!

Awful, awful AB by Castro. Please end the personal catcher BS Ozzie! Our offense isn't good enough to put us at a disadvantage.

Have you even looked at castro's numbers?

 

Anyway, he hit that ball really, really hard, just right at their 3b.

Very nice Beckham!! Great to get a run back.

i knew gordon would turn it around.... just didnt think it would take this long.

Good work Beckham.

 

If you're going to criticize Castro's AB, you have to criticize that Beckham hit too, because the only difference was that Beckham's wasn't right at the 3b.

Beckham survives the sophomore slump (jinx). He is back. To his credit he never sulked and the organization didn't give up on him and send him down.
