Plain and simple, the Sox need to f***ing man up FOR ONCE in Minnesota. The division is ours for the taking.

I don't know about that. They have an easier schedule than we do.

Wow, that 1-2 pitch was a blatant strike and a fantastic pitch.

Ok, let's bet $50k even money.

If I had that kind of money to spare, I'd take that bet, seriously.

 

Concussion symptoms down for a month and a half already, no timetable for his return...in the NFL, you start talking about the concussion being career-threatening if they're no where close to coming back after 4 weeks.

Freddy leaves and adds to his ERA over 7 for the 2nd half of the season. They need to consider skipping him when they can when we have days off.

Well, then it's good for the Twins that this is MLB.

I hate using the offday as a 5th starter. Absolutley hate it.

 

Every single pitcher in our rotation (Other than Jackson who just arrived) has an ERA a full run lower on extra rest than they do on normal rest.

Former Twin Corey Koskie's career ended on concussion symptoms.

The difference is the liklihood for more jarring blows is extremely high in the NFL, whereas in baseball, it is relatively small.

 

I'm certainly not going to argue that it won't become an issue for the remainder of his career, but to say that the odds are even that he'll never even play again? That's being a bit overdramatic in my opinion.

 

I do agree, however, that this is very frightening for Twins fans, their organization, and Morneau himself. If you see the play that the concussion occurred during, it really wasn't even that violent of a collision.

The pull baseball approach has been awful the last two weeks. Some pathetic at bats with RISP as well.

 

It's always been this way. Is it Walker's fault? The organization's? or the type of players Kenny acquires?

Cost benefit analysis...burn your pen every time Freddy pitches and still get a loss or take your chances skipping him and affecting the ERA of the other 4.

NASTY by Sale. Really fun getting to watch him and Santos develop.

It's hard to watch Sale and think starter though. That delivery screams extreme lefty/righty splits. I know he is supposed to have the change to overcome that, but it looks so odd.

I do agree with this, but who knows.

The thing with Morenau is that he's had previous concussions from playing hockey in Canada, while I think he'll be back eventually, its def a big deal over there.

Isn't that all you need when you have a good offense though?

 

Not for the post season when other teams have both pitching and hitting.

 

Way to go Andruw! No bunting here!

"Damon goes over, he can't throw".

 

Terrible call by Stone that illustrated more genuine truth.

Atta boy Andruw!

Ugh, I hate Ozzieball!

Woo-hoo! Beckham is bunting!

Are you thinking this is a guy who will have arm problems later down the road ala Kerry Wood?

It's not great, but I can live with 5/5 by Freddy when the defense gave up a chunk of it.

I must be dreaming. Is this 1951 before the DH was invented?

Woo-hoo! Beckham is bunting!

 

For a guy that struggles to hit a ball far enough to even get a sac fly.

Those first 2 were Freddy's fault, not Beckhams. Freddy jumped WAYY too early on the chopper.
