fathom Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I know there's few people on this threat tonight, but am I the only one not impressed with the Twins at all this year? I don't even care if I jinx the Sox tonight, I'm not impressed with the guys they've called up to replace their old starters. Bartlett looks like someone who you can jam whenever you want. Losing Silva will be a massive loss for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Anyone know Garland's pitch count? Maybe I'm not the only one, but I don't have much confidence in Politte coming into a tie game, I'd stick with Garland. He's made about two-three bad pitches today, I'd let him go one more...

Dick Allen Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 While I think his analyst work has improved, the last inning showed that DJ has to be one of the worst play-by-play announcers of all-time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing Silva will be a massive loss for them. I was thinking that. I also was thinking that the Sox caught a huge break or unbreak however you want to think about it, when Buerhle being out 6 weeks turned out to be a false alarm. Perhaps a sign of things to come.

fathom Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Watching Crede this season, it amazes me that they've never tried a different loading mechanism for his swing. He's having a terrible time getting the bat through the zone. Why not try a leg kick or timing mechanism like Sosa used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 That was a good sign for Joe. I hope that knocks some of the bad luck outta him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads, he looked good that AB. Fought off some tough pitches inside, layed off some tough changeups away, and when he got his pitch, he ripped it. Everyone's ripped the ball off of Radke this inning, except for Rowand -- and A-Row still got a hit. Crain coming in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gettysburg32 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Crain in, my last post aside, I hope that does give Joe a little something to build on, we need these two baserunners to score, come on Juan and Pods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
