Well. Done. Sir.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

May wasn't in there? Uhhhhhh?

Mop up guy, remember?

[drock2190]

Well the nice thing about next inning is that Suzuki and Robinson can be pinch hit for 

 

 

 

 

LOL

If Twins players are reading this site... That picture will be in the Twins Locker Room. 

 

Add Mr. Peanut... Diving into the bread like it's a pool. 

[DiscGolfer]

Do the Tigers have a closer yet?

[Aggies7]

Again too many missed chances early on hurts. The Tigers have our number.

[stocker08]

 

Pelfrey now as a 4.00 ERA. Can we get over the idea that he has to stay in this rotation? I really hope he and May swap after the AS Break.

 

 

What would it have been if we had a halfway competent bullpen?  Three runs through 7 and 2/3 innings is not a problem.  Considering our bullpen problems.....May hasn't gone over 7 innings in any single start.

 

That is a problem.

Please do me a personal favor and never stop making amazing pictures like this.

Nice, but not lambic pajamas

[Jerr]

Time to break some Tiger hearts, LETS GO TWINS!!!! in walk off "lambic fashion"!!!!

[stringer bell]

My first look at O'Rourke. I don't even remember him pitching in Spring Training.

[DiscGolfer]

It appears that Soria generally only gives up runs on homers, so here's hoping for an exciting 9th

[jun]

It seems to me Boyer has been letting inherited runners scored every time he's out there. I am pretty sure whoever is reponsible for those runners does not appreciate that. Although Boyer has an acceptable ERA, what he's done is not acceptable. It would be a good idea to trade Boyer for a lefty reliever since his ERA looks nice. Boyer should not be trusted in any close games.

To be fair May is handled much differently as a rookie compared to a vet like Pelfrey. They're still watching his innings carefully and on a firm 100 pitch limit per outing. Pelfrey can pitch 150 for all I care if he's pitching well.

[James]

6?

 

Oh wait...you're not talking to me.

[big dog]

Why is Suzuki at bat here?

 

edit: and so of course he gets a hit.  That was not intended to be a reverse jinx but I will take all credit.

C'mon Soria... Pitch Dozier high and tight. 

[James]

There not getting any easier.

You, sir, are clearly some sort of Photoshop magician.

This would make a good Twins promotion in the future -- we have had enough bobble heads -- and I don't think I have ever seen them give out something like this.

[Riverbrian]

Ok... Tomorrow is another day

[big dog]

 

4 ER in 7 2/3. Not that great.

Well, it was 33% better when it was 3 runs.

[Squirrel]

Poop. We lost.

[Jerr]

lights out and NOT as I hoped....been fun here!

I am going on Sat. so a sure win for the good guys

[James]

Well,that's why they play 162, right?

 

I'm going to tomorrow's game, so hopefully Verlander will continue his trend of being horrible and I'll see the Twins beat up of the motor city kitties!

That is true.  Still seems as though May reaches that 100 pitch threshold a little faster than most.

 

Doesn't matter.  May is going to be a valuable starting pitcher for this team.  I just think that Pelfrey has earned his spot so far.

I'm watching the game now and that comment is really unfair (and you probably know it).

 

Pelfrey pitched a pretty good game. He limited the Tigers to three runs over 7 2/3 innings. That fourth run is all on Boyer. He had one job to do and he failed to execute.

 

Pelfrey wasn't amazing but there's no way you can watch that game and pin the loss on him. He did his job.
