So, Robin really is just going to f*** with Beckham.

 

Phenomenal.

 

If Beckham is so weak in the head that he can't handle being moved from 2nd to 9th in the lineup then he'll likely never meet the potential that we all initially thought he had. See the ball, hit the ball, regardless of your spot in the lineup.

Need you Gavin.

i don't think it's a huge deal, but Beckham was doing pretty well. He's almost back up to .250. Let's see if he can handle this or not.

Welcome to the major leagues. God forbid Robin move a career .249 hitter out of the #2 to try and balance out the lineup more.

 

It never fails around here.

Personally, I would have put Youk at the bottom of the order and moved him up if he started to hit...no need to move Gordon until there is a reason to move him...but it's not the end of the world...Gordon has gone through a lot of adversity over the last few years. If hitting in a different spot in the order is going to sink his ship, I'd be shocked.

 

He hit the ball hard last night several times...I don't think he was too concerned.

Gavin Floyd has lost his last 8 starts vs Twins. That's longest current streak of consecutive starts lost vs a team by active pitcher #elias

Matchup of Day: Joe Mauer hit in each of last 9 AB vs Gavin Floyd. That's longest current hit streak by any active batter vs pitcher. #elias

Classic-rock-star matchup between Floyd and Hendriks?

I believe not only is he 9 for his last 9 against Floyd, but Mauer has reached based against Gavin in 15 consecutive PAs. Oh my.

Winner

Thankfully I have plenty of crap on my DVR if this gets out of hand.

I usually will watch for an hour and if it's out of hand, last nights Colbert or Fallon usually is on the Hulu at that point

Double ouch. Nothing but low curves G, and if you walk him, so be it.

In a related story, they added a picture of Gavin Floyd to the dictionary under the entry for "Mauers b****".

Good one.

 

And in an unrelated story, does everyone have the singles.net advert at the top of the page today?

 

How does that girl even stand up?

Okay, I'll play the optimist. This just means that Mauer is now due for several O-fers against Gavin

 

Flowers inserted in Sox's lineup in place of AJ.

Losing another series to the Twinks would be embarrassing.

Our team is full of name players. They've got two of them. Three counting Liriano.

Time to start winning series or shut up.

Let's not get carried away here. Beckham hasn't complained or said anything other then he will play wherever they tell him to

Frank Thomas thought he'd get tougher pitches to hit batting 9th. He disagreed with the move. One thing Gordon Beckham is not is a diva. The guy has an awesome attitude.

No but with his production he has no right to complain.
