Swarzak = Efficiency

He'd should have a zero on the board

The grounders are finding the gaps, I guess that's what happens with the infield they put out there.

Hughes yeah. You gotta hit a bunch to overcome that type of defense and luck. Hopefully we will.

On the bright side, the Rangers have hit some balls pretty deep into the outfield that have been caught. I can't tell if Swarzak is pitching to contact and being efficient, or the Rangers are just uber-aggressive and are jumping on his pitches.

Looks like he just hasn't really grooved anything... He's mixing things up. Looks like a pro.

Our boys need to get some runs for Swarzak....Willingham caught that? Good...improvement...Delmon wouldn't have caught that.

Pretty sure being agressive is Texas' prerogative every game. That's why our pitching staff always struggles against them

Delmon wouldn't have tried. lol

Damn willinghammer.. Even when he's not hitting home runs, his base hits are getting absolutely crushed

Alright Doumit the law of averages are with you. Your turn

Well... Next inning it is

Delmon wouldn't have tried. lol

Oh yes he would have tried, but he would have sprained something in the process

If he would have tried. He would have come back to the dugout mad cuz he had to try.

A little surprised Swarzak is still out there. 3rd time through the lineup. That one could be placed on Gardy.

Crap--maybe Swarzak is running out of gas

Swarzak got the first quality start of the team this year.

Swarzak flying open badly, get him out of there he had a good run today

Luckily rangers are still swinging at everything

I was just gonna type the exact same thing but then he started throwing better against Hamilton

There is a video posted in another thread of Delmon making an ugly error in the outfield today for the Tigers....brutal! Glad the Tiger fans get that experience now and not us.

The ground balls have stopped haven't they

Span is looking good at the plate and in the outfield.

Me 2... Didn't even care that we got nothing. Just miffed he cost us Garza

Indeed, but I'll take ground balls all day over these deep flys.

Well swarzak made a good bit tonight to stay in the starting rotation... So what happens if Hendricks lights it up?

Now here is something you don't see often in Twins Territory--a starting pitcher going seven innings. Good for you

Anthony!! NOW GET HIM SOME RUNS!!!

I was just talking to a buddy about this today, he really is looking as good as he ever as. Really driving the ball

Saw the video... Priceless. He could have won the dizzy bat contest. I've seen outfielders play like that after a case of beer in softball or maybe someone was yelling to him. Left... I mean right... No left... Turn around... Now... Now now...

Plouffe and the Aussie need to hit to play. I was surprised last year by Hughes defense, I thought he would be brutal, but he turned out be unimpressively adequate. I don't think you can consider him for regular play at second, though.
