Late night game...Twins at Angels IN GAME DISCUSSION

Rbyrne · 04-08-10, 09:16 PM

Took the Twins....Pinerio does not impress me...he got alot of wins last year due to great run support from the cardinals...Twins line up gonna do some damage tonight

Shortstop · 04-08-10, 09:19 PM

Morneau and Cuddyer both leave runners at 2nd and 3rd!

Shortstop · 04-08-10, 09:21 PM

I have the Over 9.5, needed at least one run there in the top of the first...

maniac0201 · 04-08-10, 09:21 PM

Twins 3B coach is very conservative. Hudson probably scores on Mauers double.

Shortstop · 04-08-10, 09:31 PM

Two more runners LOB in the bottom of the first!

Shortstop · 04-08-10, 09:32 PM

I've seen this scenario happen entirely too many times before, my Over is toast!

Rbyrne · 04-08-10, 09:36 PM

still alot of game left to be played...over still has a chance...i didnt take it but i took twins ml....Os pulled out the win 5-4 haha Rays loaded the bases in the 9th...i had Os ml...their new closer sucks

Shortstop · 04-08-10, 09:39 PM

Double play, how fitting!

That was a crazy series, all three games easily could have gone either way...

Shortstop · 04-08-10, 09:46 PM

Another runner stranded at 3rd with less than two outs, unreal!

DrStale · 04-08-10, 10:08 PM

Got some SBR points on the Angels RL.

Shortstop · 04-08-10, 10:17 PM

One entire run through 4 innings, thanks guys!

Shortstop · 04-08-10, 10:18 PM

Is that Cy Young out there?

Rbyrne · 04-08-10, 10:19 PM

The Twins need to get some runs....still cant believe they didnt score in the 1st

Jericholic · 04-08-10, 10:20 PM

Wow, does Thome have some wheels!!

I didn't see but I'd think you'd have to be with Morneau and Cuddyer coming up.

Shortstop · 04-08-10, 10:21 PM

At least Thome came to play...

Rbyrne · 04-08-10, 10:23 PM

Twins get a run!!!..i think Thome was a good pick up for them

Shortstop · 04-08-10, 10:25 PM

Kubel with a Ribbie!

How can he hurt them? Gonna be a good pinch hitter for Harris or Hardy late in the games. Gives them versatillity if they wanna rest Kuebel or Morneau at DH and 1st.

maniac0201 · 04-08-10, 10:28 PM

The Twins have some power this year. Seven HRs already this season.

I agree, I can't remember the last time that had some thunder coming off of the bench.

Twins up 3-1 after a 2 run homer by Brent Harris

Brendan Harris

Shortstop · 04-08-10, 10:32 PM

Brendan Harris with a 2-run jack! That was very unexpected!

Law-Byrnes · 04-08-10, 10:33 PM

They have a Yankee type lineup. Shame what happened to Nathan or their pen would be one of the best in the league.

Shortstop · 04-08-10, 10:33 PM

A three-run shot would be sweet right here...

maniac0201 · 04-08-10, 10:34 PM

Losing Nathan hurts, but even is Rauch is just average, its only 2 or 3 more blown saves a year. Obviously having Rauch to pitch the 8th would be nice, but its not as bad as some are saying.

Shortstop · 04-08-10, 10:34 PM

Dammit Morneau!

Shortstop · 04-08-10, 10:35 PM

Way too many men LOB, this always comes back to haunt...

A dominant closer helps, but isn't necessary to have a successful season.

Angels will win 6-4 and you'll watch all those points roll in...

I'm a twins fan, and I fukking hate that fukk gardenhire, in most aspects hes a pretty good manager, but he has his cock up puntos but all night long. Brendan Harris is a much better player than Nick Punto yet Punto is opening day Third Baseman for the twins. Harris is a guy who can hit .280 with 10 homeruns and 80 rbis, punto is a guy who can go a whole season batting .200 with 0-1 homeruns and 20-30 rbi, and that is not an exagerration, punto's done it before. Yet gardenhire loves him for god knows what reason, i swear they must be lovers sometimes cuz nothing else makes sense. Yes punto is better defensively but that does not make up for the huge difference in their offensive production

Comon gardy get your head outta your azz!
