Why Are Twins Rolling A Guy Out There With Only 9 MLB Appearances?

[jtoler]

dont understand stuff like this in the playoffs its game 2 and you dont have anyone with more big league experience let alone postseason experience. whats the reasoning for this? do u just hope he can pitch a few scoreless innings and bring in a starter afterwards because ud rather him start than come in relief? what is it?

baldelli wishing on a prayer hoping the move will make him look like a genius. He wants to be the next big manager.

[lakerboy]

Because they want to win and they will

dobnak who drove for uber in the offseason started at single A this year would go on to pitch 2 innings giving up 6 hits 4 runs and collected zero strikeouts

[Booya711]

He will be back at uber tomorrow...garbage

Why was odrizzio not starting pitcher was he injured he got more experience

[Mr KLC]

He has a 53% ground ball ratio. Baldelli hoped it would work at a launching pad like Yankee Stadium. Unfortunately all of the ground balls were hit where people were not.

only 9 games to go off of any some of those he only pitched 2 innings not much to go off of Id never stick a kid like that in to start in a game 2 when im already down a game in the series especially one who started the year in single-A ball

[Mr KLC]

Odorozzi was 6th worst in the majors on ground ball rate.
