Would anyone be interested in Aaron Cook if he opts out of his Red Soxs contract? -
On the Twins, the Yankees and Being Psyched Out
danielsonbrett replied to John Bonnes's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
This maybe a little off the point, but I have a problem with this part of the article. "Hunter recalled one 2004 ALDS game the Twins lost where they had a runner on third with one out, down a run against the great Yankees closer Mariano Rivera, and Twins manager called on a young righty hitters to bat against Rivera, and Hunter recalled that hitter turning down the pinch-hit assignment. "You need a righty hitter against Rivera with his cutter,'' Hunter recalled. But according to Hunter, the player shook his head no. So Gardenhire used another kid, Jason Kubel, a lefthanded hitter, who Hunter recalled getting jammed. "Kubel wasn't afraid, but he's a lefty hitter,'' Hunter said."" Looking back at the box scores of the game there were two one run games, and Rivera only got the save in one. In that one game(Game Four) Kubel got a double in the eighth, Rivera pitched in the tenth and eleventh. In two games(Game One and Game Three) Kubel did not even play. The other game(Game Two) Kubel started and did not get a hit, but Rivera pitched in the eighth and ninth, blowing a save. So to shorten up what I'm trying to get at, I can not find an instance by looking at the box scores where the scenario that Torri Hunter said happened could have happened. Am I missing something?
