The Twins aren't doing so great. The Rangers aren't doing so great. The Twins were just swept by the Angels. The Rangers were just swept by the Tigers and the Angels before that plus dropped the final two against the Athletics.
I'm predicting another sweep for the Twins. No reason to let any optimism back to the Rangers.
I'm disappointed that Polanco isn't in the lineup. He's here; we might as well take a look at him. We know all we need to know about Pedro Florimon.
Gardy said on the radio pre-game that he won't be afraid to use Polanco "if Florimon struggles". Florimon is currently hitting .096. I'm not sure what Gardy's definition of "struggling" is, but if Florimon's not doing it now, I don't want to see it when he does.
I'm guessing he means struggling since being called up.
He's 0-for-8 since being called up. He hit .230 in AAA. He may improve over .096--he almost has to--but he's never hit, and he's not going to hit.
You're preaching to the choir.
Florimon OBP: .175
Polanco: 1.000
proof right there!
Wow, gotta tip your cap to Beltre on that HR.
Okay, okay. You're the man, you're the man, you're the man. No need to keep going on about it.
Bert already getting "Jose" Polanco's name wrong.
Ho, hum. Base hit for Mauer.
Josh Willingham now tied for 63rd place all time in hit by a pitch with 108.
This would be a good time for Edoublo Escobar.
It would've been, but instead we got Eduardo EsKobar.
So, time to go home. Pull this one out for me, guys.
Bremer with a good call on that last pitch, something along the lines of: Tepesch was all over the place that inning, but saved his best pitch to strike out Ecsobar
What did Dazzle say they call this stadium? Grow Light Ballpark?
Wait wait wait wait wait. You mean to tell me that there are games that don't involve the Yankees and Red Sox tonight?
*checks game log activity*
Nope.
Going to need a rally
NEW GUY!!!!!!!!
well, it got interesting at the end.
It's been a while* since we had a game end with a RISP and Mauer in the on deck circle. Just like old times!
