Freddy Garcia=Livan Hernandez

 

Pitch away from contact, high pitch count, lots of walks...84-88 MPH fastball...keep everything on the black...don't get behind in counts and give in with the fastball over the center of the plate. Mix in a steady diet of offspeed junk to keep hitters off balance.

 

Minnesota leading CLE 5-0, who'd a thunk it? Go figure.

We're already nearly half a dozen games behind them. Treading water will leave us in the dust. The Twins have the best offense in the division and more then enough pitching to keep them afloat. We need to get hit and they need to get cold for a prolonged period of time.

flame me later if I'm wrong, but the twins will suffer the same ups and downs as the rest of us.

It's called pitching or smoke and mirrors take your pick.

Exactly...Like I said. They're on pace for over 100 wins. They won't win over 100 games. They will hit a rough patch. We're lucky they're only 14-7. 6 games vs. the Royals so far...

It's very interesting watching Nix bat this year. He's making a huge effort to hit the ball to the right side, as he was a dead pull hitter last year. We haven't seen any of his famous rocket line drives down the left field line.

You do realize that we've had our asses kicked by the Indians repeatedly, right? We don't take advantages of chances the Twins give us.

It's because Ozzie chewed him out enough to make him try to change his approach. He's all turned around.

and hopefully you realize that we couldn't have been playing much worse at that point.

We're not a good enough team to fall behind the Twins. The sooner we all realize this, this sooner we can accept that this team is a middling offensive ball club that's counting on it's pitching to bail their asses out of the fire.
