Balta1701 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 03:10 PM) Twins are crushing the cookies today, and our hitters unfortunately aren't. Someone's going to have to get a big hit today for us to get back into this game. At least for now, we're not that far back, and we've gotten enough cookies that you have to think we're going to get into one here soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Does CQ always swing at everything like Dayan? I don't get to see all the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Last week, that 82 mph change-up is hit 400 feet by Quentin. Timing's off now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a symptom of him not being 100%. He starts his swing earlier to compensate and can't hold up as easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked so well on Thursday, but we've gotten away from it for the most part. Kotsay with just a pathetic approach there. Ugh KW, get us another bat!

greg775 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I hate series where eventually you are just happy to get out of town and move on to the next stop. We're not there, yet, but the start of this game has sucked majorly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardenhire ain't stupid, he knows there's a stolen base threat on first base, of course you are going to waste a fastball high or outside on 0-2.

I'm definitely of the opinion that it's time to move Beckham back into the 2nd spot. Edited July 18, 2010 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Injuries have really slowed him down because he should have made that easily in the past. And Hawk, STFU, its not the umpires who are leaving runners on base for us.

Me too, but it looks like it'.s more of the same, being the Twins b****es again...I'll be very surprised if we win today, I fully expect to lose and I'll gladly eat crow but it ain't happening.
