Re: Minnesota Twins 2010: Part II - The Franchise Strikes Back

And Cuddy hits it to the SS who gets the force at home...

Kubel up oh friggin joy!
 
Re: Minnesota Twins 2010: Part II - The Franchise Strikes Back

This anti-clutch hitting nonsense has to stop if the Twins are going to seriously contend. Leaving a runner on 3rd 5 times in one game is very impressive in an embarassing sort of way...

Absolutely, and the bullpen really needs to improve. Duensing, Guerrier, and Burnett are pretty solid. Crain, Mahay and Mijares are bad. The jury's still out on Rauch. I'm not sold on him as a closer.

Giving up five runs in the 9th against anybody is bad and giving up five runs in the 9th to the Brewers is unacceptable. Let's see what Gardenhire, Rick Anderson and Rick Stelmaszek can do.

IT'S ONE *ING GAME. There are bad days. It happens.

Uhm...the brewers score in bunches, it is what it is...all year they either completely suck (friday's game) or put up 7+ runs (tonights game) and normally it happens in big innings...giving up 5 runs in an inning to the brewers shouldn't be that big a deal...it happens.
If we won the world series in 5 games this fanbase would whine and ***** that we didn't win it in 4. I'm serious.
The best teams succeed at things a 3rd of the time...you can't really expect more than that...

The Brewers came into the game 16-26 and 16-25 in National League play. This is a series the Twins need to really kick *** in if they want to be serious contenders. So far, they've peed down their leg against the Yankees and the road games with the Red Sox. If they want to be an elite team, this can't happen.

I never said you shouldn't win, I'm just saying at least one of the games was going to be a shootout...I fully expected the twins to put darn near 10 runs a game this series with our pitching staff...The question was would the brewers put up 9 in one of the games ;) get my point?

Believe it or not the Brewers have actually scored more runs this season than the Twins...they've also allowed 50 more runs than the Twins.

Also, I am shamelessly stealing this from the brewers thread. But if you don't think the brewers are a high powered offense then you're sorely mistaken:


(Team Batting Statistic/NL Rank):

Runs/game: 3rd
Runs: 3rd
Hits: 1st
Doubles: 4th
Triples: t3rd
Home Runs: 2nd
RBI: 3rd
Walks: 5th
Bat. Average: 3rd
OBP: t1st
Slugging.: 3rd
OPS: 3rd
OPS+: 1st
Total Bases: 2nd
