Allsox Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Aug 10, 2010 -> 05:12 PM) Dammit I want a freaking demoralizing blowout. I wanna put up about 20 runs on these bastards and shut them down. I mean like in May 2009 when they beat us 20-1. I wanna put that kind of ass whuppin on them. Oh and a bench clearing brawl would be nice too. This! Kill these muthaf@ckers! Let's go Freddy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I normally don't wish injury upon players but I hope all the starters for the Twins get season ending toe stubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah and I get that, but having him catch the one game in the series we face a RHP doesn't make a lot of sense. I bet AJ faces both LHP now, or at least one, and he shouldn't face either. Kotsay hitting ahead of Alexei is bizarre as well, but the logic/Kotsay ship has long since sailed. Not much Ozzie can really do with this lineup though with the way it's hitting ATM, to be fair.

Castro has an .862 OPS against righties this season, which is also vastly better than AJ. (it's 1.209 against lefties). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I definitely knew that, which is why I'll almost never say a peep when Castro plays, because no playing time is too much for him right now when you look at how he and AJ are hitting. As a matter of fact, if I had faith Ozzie would play Castro all 3 games of this series, I wouldn't say a thing about him playing tonight. But I highly doubt he'll do that.

macsandz Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Baker has been tough lately. He beat Garcia at the Cell earlier in the season 2-1. This one's not gonna be easy, boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further, he tends to do well against MIN. I'd rather have seen AJ today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, while his BA against Baker is good, he hasn't hit for any power whatsoever and he hasn't taken a walk against Baker so he really hasn't been that productive against him.
