Danks had about 7 strikes that inning. Twins should have had more runs.
A real clutch hitter would have drove in two runners there. boooo Mauer.
Okay, Hughes, you've given the White Sox enough of a chance now. You can get serious again.
Setting up for the double play, got a double in play instead. gah.
This escalated quickly.
I like Provus, but to say that the White Sox are ahead because of two pitches is dumb. Yes, those are the two pitches that drove in the runs, but there were a lot of pitches before that which contributed.
Gardy got ejected. heh
FOX Trax has shown that most of those close pitches have been balls. I think Gardy wanted to get some golf in before the flood comes.
Dazzle is saying they're strikes for whatever that's worth.
Anybody watching the game? Is Hughes getting squeezed?
Not really. The pitch Gardy said was down the middle was outside. I think he just wanted to get thrown out.
Not what you want to see after you just gave up a bunch.
Nice adjustment Dozier
Wow. That's some crazy risky baserunning
Twins have already made two outs on the paths today.
Being ultra aggressive.
JMIVGABB
Hope this means Mauer's back is feeling better.
brain fart by De Aza. wow
I couldn't tell from Dazzle--was he afraid Mauer would take third if he threw home, or did he forget how many outs there were, or what happened?
he wound up to throw and changed his mind. Looks like he still had a good grip. It doesn't make any sense. Even if he made a horrible throw, the worst that happens is Mauer at third with two outs.
Let's not have a bunch of giveback runs again, guys.
Gold Glove Pig
Yeah, I don't think we can rely on Josh to make that play every time.
Fuld is playing pepper with that RF wall
I've never understood why fake throws to the bases seem to bother announcers so much.
Why was Santana bunting there?
Good question.
Good grief, the Twins sure gave this inning away.
Brutal
You can't spell "aggressive" without a "CS".
Nice to see two good innings out of Swarzak.
Good thing there is an off day tomorrow. Suzuki may just stay in bed all day nursing bruises.
He'll probably have Tuesday off as well because Fryer has been working well with Gibson.
Arcia in a 0-31 slump. I wonder what the longest non pitcher Twins streak is.
I have a media guide from a few years ago. Butch Wynegar had a 0-39.
I'm starting to think that Arcia's bat is still on IR.
He really smoked some balls the last couple days, at least two line drives to the first baseman for outs. He's looked better since having a couple days off.
Had a nice lunch with friends, but I had a half an eye on the sroll and noted when the Twins took a lead -- good jorb, folks
I understand why Perkins isn't in there, but I'm not all that comfortable with Burton.
I'm a lot more comfortable now.
I wanted Burton to pitch because I didn't want Perkins to pitch four days in a row after he was out a couple days with a bad back. He probably shouldn't have pitched yesterday.
didn't get that expected leadoff triple this time
Bunt ROFL
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP
4 game sweep against the White Sox. Not bad. Not bad at all.
Terry Steinbach showing that he's managerial material: he called Phil Hughes "Hughesy".
Sweep city! That's a good way to respond to a five-game losing streak.
