You are right, that was mean no one should ever be called Dick Bremer that is just wrong :)

Although, I reserve the right to bring it back if you ever say anything like "Jason Kubel is the most dangerous lefthanded hitter in baseball no one knows" ;) :p

Ok, you know what? I said galactic before. Saying kubel is the most dangerous is a universe apart from saying span is better than delmon haha

What if it's the bottom of the 9th, tie game, there's only one out, and you hit a deep fly ball to right field with a runner on 3rd who scores on the tag? :D

Yes, I know what point you're trying to make. :p

I'd love to know what kind of idiot pills Gardy was on leaving Blackburn out there.

He had a quality start (3 runs or less in 6 innings; yes I think that's a joke standard).

Short bullpen.

Pitchcount was low? (Dunno, wasn't paying that close of attention)

Liriano and Moon Shot had bad starts in their games, but the end result was decent, in their pitching stats. Same with Blackie.

He had at least 3 innings where he struggled. Why not bring in Rauch to seal the deal? So he could make Blackie feel good?

If he thinks Blackie could seal it, while giving the bullpen the day off, wouldn't you?
 
Re: Minnesota Twins 2010: Part II - The Franchise Strikes Back

Only six guys out there. I am thinking he will take any chance he can get to give them a day off. It's a long season.
 
Re: Minnesota Twins 2010: Part II - The Franchise Strikes Back

His pitch count was so low there was no reason NOT to let him pitch. We sit there and whine about how pitchers cant go the distance, well he was in a perfect position to do so and he did. If he puts people on you put in Rausch but otherwise let him close it out.

Do you have a turd in your pocket? Or is this the royal "we?"

Blackburn had been less than stellar all season. I'm not talking Moonshot Scott, but I wouldn't have sent him out for the 9th.

Except he didn't exactly suck tonight, did he? Good decision by Gardy.

That's why you're not managing the team. ;)

Again, low pitchcount (thanks Handy and dx), short bullpen, quality start, long season....

send him out, knowing that if need be, Tatts (and whoever) should be able to close the deal.
 
Re: Minnesota Twins 2010: Part II - The Franchise Strikes Back

My fantasy team is upset Rauch wasn't in there for the save! :mad: :p
 
Re: Minnesota Twins 2010: Part II - The Franchise Strikes Back

We'll argue about anything around here. For the record I liked Blackburn staying in the game. It's early in the year, you already have shortened your bullpen, low pitch count.......blah........blah..........blah.

Twins won.

Does he do it in a playoff game? No.

My fantasy team is very happy that the Twins didn't touch up Zumaya for any runs and still managed to get the W. :)

So the 3rd run got charged to Willis instead? By that time I was detached from baseball in general and I was watching the Red Wings attempt to swallow a chicken bone.
