Moonshot Scott gives up a 2-run HR in the bottom of the 4th, and Delmon proceeds to hit a 2-run HR of his own in the top of the 5th to retake the lead - this is last night in reverse.
(Delmon has driven in all three MN runs tonight... is anyone else capable of driving in runs right now?)
Souhan wrote an article not too long ago advocating that, so my guess is it was a reference to that (his argument: Delmon is due for arbitration and will see his pay increased - and his trade value is higher now than it will ever be due to the year he's having). If anything, I think now is the time to lock him up with a 4-5 year deal at a reasonable cost. He's about to enter his prime, and his power numbers should continue to increase.
Delmonzy is going to get PAID! Too bad we didn't get rid of him in the offseason like half the people around here wanted because his sabermetrics were so horrible
Once he gets the big contract he goes back to sucking.
Just like Baby Jesus.
We are good. Blackburn on the other hand is not. That was all Blackburn.Twins struggling to win a blowout against the Orioles? Yeah we are good!
ETA: They managed to strand 2 on and win 10-4. Good job by Blackburn to only give up about 7 hits in the 9th inning. Makes the 10 O's fans who stayed feel good I spose.
I wonder if at some point Gardy will realize that Valencia is probably the better option at 3B and at the dish over Cuddyer this year. Although if Morneau doesn't return, it becomes a moot point.Sounds like Cuddyer's lame excuse about not wanting to play 3rd base.
Reusse is a decent read, except when he decides he doesn't like someone or something, and then that flavors everything he writes on that topic or even a slightly related one. Three years of Vikings columns where every conclusion was that Denny Green is eight different kinds of jerk got kind of old. Point made, move on to a different idea. At least with the Twins he is more likely to conclude that they are a joke instead of evil.
Brett Myers. Better ERA than Oswalt on the same team. Actually has a winning record, playing for the Astros. Has gone at least 6 innings in every start this season. 1.88 ERA in July.
