Yeah and the message is: I've been reduced to coming in and drilling one of you guys because I suck as a closer and can't do anything else.

Balta1701 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Did I see Linebrink at 97 there? At the rate his fastball is going up, he'll be throwing 102 by the end of September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he's just overly worn out, I don't know how any of those variables produces the performance we just saw...the sheer number of hanging breaking balls up around the hips...that doesn't seem like a logical outcome of warm weather to me.

Friend of Nordhagen Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2010 -> 09:08 PM) They swung the bats pretty good the first three games of that series as well, but there's no denying that the Jenks game can be pointed to as the turning point of the season if the Twins win the division. Disagree. The turning point of the season was among the following: (a) the Twins assembling a better lineup than the White Sox in those months traditionally known as "the off-seasoh"; (B) Jake Peavy getting hurt, which meant that a trade of Daniel Hudson was for pitching and not another hitter; and © the White Sox not adding another player to close the gap with the Twins lineup supremacy. At this point, the question -- and the only question -- is the same as it was in March: will the Twins pitching be good enough? Because Minnesota's starting lineup -- WITHOUT Morneau -- is superior to anything the White Sox have rolled out all year. It was that way on April 1st and it hasn't changed at all.

I'm sick and tired of weakening one position to shore up another. We should have a decent starter and at least one more bat BEFORE the season started.

Garcia is our #5 starter, and he's already won ten games through two thirds of the season. What more do you expect from a #5 starter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
