You know, this Deduno fella can pitch sometimes.

 

I don't know of you can use the Pitch word yet. But... I'm sitting here laughing watching him do what he does. Loving it.

Plouffe deep here... I'm calling it.

As I said in a game thread a couple starts ago, he's not your typical no-stuff, "control-type" Twins pitcher.

 

I still don't trust him as far as I could throw him, and don't want any part of having him be one of the Twins first five starters in 2013, but he's tantalizing, frustrating, and fun to watch all at the same time.

I was trusting you on this, old friend.

Well said, but a little pessimistic. I am hoping that he can win 15 games next year for the Twins.

Im optimistic... If he can figure out his feet and release point. It could change and change nicely. He's kinda long in the tooth and if he hasn't learned by now. But maybe he's at the point now where he has tasted it and takes fixing it more seriously.

I let you down Glunn... I'll take the heat for it.

For some strange reason he reminds me of Oil Can Boyd........minus the drugs and crazy.

Casilla!.....gotta admit, didn't see that coming,

Mastroooooooooo!!!!!

That's it... Mastrionni at 2B tomorrow. We may have to get freaking chant going or something.

Mastro again, loving it! Needs to play more...................and the Twins need sliding practice

The grounds crew has to put something down to slow the surface... Something like those flower pots they put in front of large venues to prevent things from driving into the buildings.

That is a Liriano-esque slider!!!

Doumit has put the Two down quite a bit for Deduno.

Put him out for 8? He's more of a threat to himself than the Tigers this far.

I'm not familiar with Mastro's defense. He's better in the OF right? How good is his defense in the OF and how good a second base does the guy play. I agree, I'd like to find a place for him to play daily and see if he can continue to perform.

Tough call... The Tigers wouldn't be my consideration. Do you let Deduno pitch the 8th cuz he's feeling good or do you pull him to make sure he leaves the game feeling good.

With 94 pitches, I don't see how they bring him back out at this point. Though, I'm sure this is a situation where Gardy brings Gray into the game and it's tied going into the 9th.

From my eyes... He's a nice OF defender. No idea about 2B but I know he has been taking grounders nearly everyday.

 

Gardy most likely won't experiment against the Tigers. With the Tigers in a pennant chase but I think he should do it on Friday against Seattle. Nothing hurt in that game... Let's see. Mastro at 2B.

 

Im completely serious. Anyone have Gardy's cell number... I'm calling him.

Lol... So flower pot thingys... Is incorrect?

Dooooooooommmmmm!!!!!!

With a .314/.240 L/R batting split, maybe Doumit should just hit from the left side.... while writing this Doumit makes it a foolish point with that homer. Atta boy!

So I started Lucroy over Doumit in my fantasy matchup. Oops... And it was my only possible lineup decision to make with a light schedule.

See, Gray is warming up...

But with the current lead, it's a good time to eat some innings, I guess.

It's a tough call... Hope he wiggle out.

Keep the Mastro in right!!!!

He better be in the lineup tomorrow. He's earned it.
