Hey, if you had told me this afternoon that after seven the game would be tied, and it would be because the offense sucked instead of Blackburn sucking, I wouldn't have believed you. Good night for him - regardless of how this turns out.

Plouffe just got robbed.

 

 

BABIP unkind.

I didn't see it. Despite the lack of HR's, Plouffe has been drilling line drives all over the place. I think he is going to be a pretty good hitter. Give him a little time in the league to see pitchers and their stuff and he will only get better. Hitting line drives, to me, is a big separator between average hitters and good hitters. The ability to get solid wood on the ball will create more hits as well as XBH.

Blackburn was impressive tonight, it would go a long ways if we could trust him to be a #5 again onto 2013. That way Ryan can focus on bringing in one less pitcher in during FA and ideally bring in a front line rotation guy or two.

With a post by GCTF, and Dave calling to idealize Blackburn this thread is now complete.

At least we don't have to play that game of "Should we trade him, re-sign him or let him go?" We're stuck with him for next year, for good or for ill. Let's hope for good.

Has the medical staff set a date for the amputation?

 

pfft. Medical staff thinks "nothing serious." Couple months of "rehab" followed by an inconclusive MRI, followed by a second opinion which confirms amputation.

I despise Casilla with the intensity of a thousand suns.

 

Irrational, I know, but it is what it is.

Mastroianni has been pretty impressive as of late (late June) I'd be real interested to see him get a little playing time at 2B if he can handle it.

They do MRI's? I thought they just went with leeches.

Fien has been a nice bright spot lately for the Twins, if he can somehow keep it up the Twins have a nice cheap bullpen heading into 2013 with Perkins, Burton, Fien and Duensing.
