Game 6 - Twins vs Angels - 04/12/12

[Yoshii]

I think hes going to **** it up.

Hunter's single should have been a double play. A crappy play/circumstance like that- hitting the second base bag- isn't Capps' fault. Pujols and Trumbo's hits... yeah, that's on Capps.

Yea it would be nice if he could once in a while get a strikeout after getting 2 strikes

[striker_86]

2 down, up by 1

[James]

I think Capps is trying to make me have a heart attack.

[CDog]

Can you imagine how heads would be exploding if Capps had gotten off to the start that Nathan has? Yikes.

[deanlambrecht]

Whew! Still, Perkins time.

[nokomismod]

The Final Countdown : )

Awesome win! Character building win.

[Mike Sixel]

Batted balls end up being hits more than strikeouts. But, they did win.

[Boom Boom]

Nice to see the Dragon wake up, but hopefully they won't need that many runs every game.

[Top Gun]

Twins win again! Who needs pitching?

[Dilligaf69]

Nice to see the bats wake up in a big way......... Capps got a bad break with the ball hitting 2b and the missed DP call at 1B. Giving up a hit to Trumbo and especially Puljos not exactly something to be ashamed of.

[Harrison Greeley III]

Wow, what a game.

[Harrison Greeley III]

Anyone know if Capps is still walking in with "The Final Countdown"?

He walks in with "Sad But True" by Metallic. And it certainly is.

[Montecore]

Nice comebacks, good play by Valencia at the end, keep it up.

[Scheherezade]

So many haters in this thread; it was fun to watch you all eat your words by the end of the game. =)

[Mike Sixel]

Yes, all of us post here because we hate the twins. God I hate that word.

[Mike Sixel]

I long for a site where we can talk about topics, and not about other posters....long for one.

[ChuckkJay]

Seriously, does anyone know why Matt Capps is employed as a "closer" on a MLB team? Doesn't seem like he's qualified.

 

It's Sad. But True.

[stringer bell]

If Capps gave up five rockets and got the save, it would be more concerning. Two of the six balls were hit well IMHO. It is true that he needs to get a few Ks. 93-94 w/ marginal movement isn't enough to handle good major league hitters.

That was the kind of game that can age a MoFo a few years, but it was fun to watch! The pitching was pretty lackluster except for Burnett. It was damn nice to see Mauer, Morneau and Willingham go yard and have Span play like I know he can. If Span, Mauer, and Morneau can stay healthy this can be a pretty solid offensive ball club. We will need to be as the pitching is going to continue to be substandard. Talent cannot be taught.
