Abreu has really hurt them tonight. Two huge spots & nothing to show for it. Have to think the chances keep coming but will they capitalize enough to keep themselves in it?

 

Cabrera's wasted opportunity hurt as well...

 

You can't expect success every game from Jose, he's had a great run this last week and other hitters up and down the order need to come through in clutch situations, it's not just on him.

 

Still lots of game left, pretty likely the bullpens will still decide the outcome.

 

 

And these struggles with RISP haven't been so pronounced in the last couple of weeks. Worst-case scenario is we have a 3 1/2 game lead over the Royals heading into an attractive series against MN with our best pitchers slated to go.

Johnson battled back. Sounds like for him it's just mental.

 

The weird part is he's a pretty huge guy and has shown flashes of 93-94 MPH stuff in the past, even touching 95.

 

Then he goes through these stretches in the majors and minors where he's at 88-91, topping out at 92. Hard to say how much of it's mechanical and how much psychological and how the two are interrelated.

That is probably more of a difference with different guns.
