June 27, 201213 yr I think today showed why Youk was a pretty big pick-up. You can use him situationally in the 3 spot and give our other big boppers a periodic rest. Let's hope the guy can stay healthy.
June 27, 201213 yr QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 27, 2012 -> 03:07 PM) Also, good to finally win a laugher after the last month or so. Especially against an AWFUL Twins team. I mean honestly, they never had what you'd call "great" players in the early 00's division run, but the philosophy was what made them winners. I don't think the philosophy has changed, and the players are just as mediocre so what's the difference? Target Field? Yes, I predicted two years ago the grass field would be the end of the "slap bouncer hit through hole" winning method that frustrated me for soooo long. Now they can't tailor a team around their park....the way BOS loads up on lefties for their short RF fence
June 27, 201213 yr This game was closer than it should have been. I was beginning to sweat with Ohman in there

Hawk keeps saying that Terry Ryan had major influence into the ballpark design too.
