Kevin "Worst (Qualified) Starter in MLB" Correia
It took 101 games for a game log to be missed. That's longer than I would have predicted at the beginning of the year. I'm not sure if it was exactly missed however. Morales is gone and Suzuki seems likely to follow. Kind of sucks for Suzuki to be traded midseason for a third consecutive year, but maybe he'll get lucky this offseason and sign a long-term deal.
0 outs, 3 runs. Yeah, I'm not watching another one of these.
Provus: "And the White Sox take a commanding 3-0 lead".
It says something about the Twins offense that their own announcer considers a three-run margin in the first inning a commanding lead.
siiiigh.
Hey, we have nine innings to make up those three runs. We can do that! Let's go, guys!
is is wrong to put out the rally cap in the second inning?
Gives it eight chances to work.
We got a baserunner! That counts as a rally, right?
Two baserunners! It's a big inning!
A run! That lead doesn't look so commanding now, does it?
As though it wasn't (often) bad enough the first time, my ScoreCenter app insists on announcing Twins final results intermittently for days following a game.
give back runs ><
Game report from nosebleeds: the guy selling Summit wonders why Correia is still in the rotation
I'm sure it's cutting into his sales on the days Correia is scheduled to pitch, so it's a fair question.
His 2.87 ERA over his last eight starts. He's been the Twins' best starter for the last six weeks.
If he comes back to our section I will pass that on
Well, I'm heading home. Maybe the Twins will rally in my absence.
Dazzle fashion don't. Just sayin.
Crax.
I promised my son we'd stay for the fireworks. Crap
He's getting them from the White Sox.
I'm raising him right... White Sox don't count
Nice that this swoon came early enough that TR doesn't misguidedly believe we're still in the race. He doesn't, right? !
They are trying to extend Suzuki.
*forehead smack*
HRcia!
Willingham with a rally killer
The Twins now have TWO players with double digit homer runs. yay
Remember, Willingham missed about six weeks, so he was behind. He actually is hitting home runs at the same pace per PA as Dozier.
Yeah, just pointing out that the Twins, after the first month, havent been hitting many long balls. A lot of it is due to injuries. But Plouffe has been an almost everyday guy an is stuck on 7.
Yes, but he's fourth in the AL in doubles, at least. As bad as the Twins' pitching has been, they've allowed the fewest HRs in the AL. I'm thinking Target Field has just now been allowing HRs this year so far.
