Game 95: Tigers @ Twins

It's July 20th and the Twins are still only (somehow) a 1/2 game back of the Clevelanders for first in the ALC. Its truly mind-boggling when incorporating the information that they just sent out an old-as-dirt Bartolo Colon to start a game. But hey, I'll take it.

Anibal Sanchez (1-0, 6.08 ERA, 5.58 FIP) vs. Ervin Santana (11-6, 2.99 ERA, 4.76 FIP)

The Tigers have entered rebuild mode (and abandoned fly-ball mode), which is sort of fun to see since they've been near the top of the division for a while now. That should hopefully make things a bit easier for the Twins to keep pace with the Spiders. Β I have to imagine we'll see Verlander trying on some new clothes fairly soon, eh?

  1. It's great to hear Herb Carneal in the clips coming back from commercial breaks on radio.

    1. Kinda neat that they scheduled it for a series against the Tigers, though. Throwbacks to both teams' '87 unis would've been sweet.

  2. Bizarre stat of the day: In every start this year, Santana has allowed 2 runs or fewer or 5 runs or more, never 3 or 4 runs. He's either very good or bad, never mediocre. Hold them right there, Magic Man.

  3. this game has the pace of a Yankee-Red Sox match.

    but hopefully the Twins have 4 runs in them.
