Game 11 - Twins @ NY Yankees - 4/17/12

[Neinstein]

At least Rochester is sticking it to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

A good outing from Robertson tonight.

Don't blow this Slama!

 

edit: Wow, Bottom of the 8th Slama conjures Guardado loading the bases, full count to get a strikeout for the third out.

Bi-hemispheric brain weakness?

I think it could be called suckitis

[mhanson93]

Wow, less than two weeks in and we have 1 starter gone for the year, one pitching just awful, and one with shoulder issues. Gonna be a merry-go-round in the rotation this year.

A Bombo Rivera card as your avatar? Why? (There must be a story - why him and not, say, Hosken Powell?)

I am surprised that no one in this thread questioned the move of Maloney in for Liriano. Adding another lefty, and one who kinda sucks at that in a close-ish ballgame is pretty ridiculous. Jeff Gray in the third makes the Yankees make some moves. Instead it was meatball time and a few more runs. Gray could have got them to the 5th.

[Shane Wahl]

And yes, while I never thought this was the case before, I do think that Liriano should move to the bullpen. And immediately. Look at Glen Perkins (not now, but in general) and what the move did for him. Pitchers pitch better as relievers and gain velocity. Maybe Liriano can be put into high leverage situations and suddenly he is hitting 94-95 with a good slider that doesn't have to be overused or underused in a relief role.

The Twins need to fix Mr. Liriano.

With what, a full frontal lobotomy? Maybe a stun gun?

Would the Twins ever consider moving Liriano to the bullpen? I was at the game last week against the Angels, and he certainly looks good for an inning or two.
