103 mph screwball Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 05:20 PM) The way Thornton is pitching against righties, I think he might be the best reliever in baseball. He has been sick the past 2 weeks. KW acquired him by trading Joe Borchard. Joe Borchard. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess most agree with you. Those one out spots don't always happen in the 9th and Thornton has come in for most of them. I think this actually plays to each pitcher's strengths better. Thornton has come in for the tight spots in the 6th, 7th or 8th. That might have more value than pitching the 9th with the lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You def. right, but I guess my point is more that Thornton is our best pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reddy Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 05:13 PM) Pods is the only decent hitter on the team right now, along with AJ. Go figure. We need a healthy CQ or none of this matters tho. did no one see my stat work? Dye, AJ, Ramirez, Pods and Fields are ALL hitting well in the last 15 games.

Seriously, 85 games probably wins this division. Although I can see Minnesota getting hot in the second half like they always do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
