caulfield12 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Liriano getting lit up for the third start in a row. His FB has been off 2-4 MPH so far from last year's consistent 94. ERA hovering around 9.00 and a return to struggled with command again, as well. 5-1 Royals in the top of the 4th. Of course, in years past, 85% of the time the Royals would blow those leads to the Twins the last decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I bet the Twins are second guessing themselves for not dealing him in the off-season when the Yankees had to be calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was pitching well, we were just hitting some good pitches... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 As of right now Nathan's fastball is down about 2.5 MPH. He maxed out at 92 today with an average of 91.19. In the 4 IP he had coming into today his average fastball was 91.2 MPH so he's pretty consistent. In 2009 his average fastball was 93.6 MPH.

SoxFan562004 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 with some back problems and now this type of injury, at some point the Twins have to seriously discuss moving him from behind the plate. I know that lessens his value somewhat, but he is seemingly hurt a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think anyone who expected him to come back and be the old Joe Nathan, at least right away, had too high of expectations. Takes awhile to build the arm strength up.

Yeah, they have some guys on that team that surprise no one when they go down... Mauer, Morneau, Liriano etc. They have a whole lot of money wrapped up in two of them. I wouldn't be shocked if they really, really regret both of the M-boys extentions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Apr 15, 2011 -> 07:15 AM) with some back problems and now this type of injury, at some point the Twins have to seriously discuss moving him from behind the plate. I know that lessens his value somewhat, but he is seemingly hurt a lot This is why I think catchers deserve special consideration for the value of just being able to play the position, day in and day out, over a period of years. AJ avoiding injury basically his whole career is impressive to me, and when it comes time for HOF voting or just analyzing a player's value, games and innings played are meaningful in my eyes for evaluation of a catcher.
