I missed the game until last inning, looks like Butera robbed of two other hits today, threatening a 4-for-4 day? Kinda feel sick to my stomach, like pending doom or the end of the world is near. Seriously, great job Drew!
I agree completely. Just trusting his stuff and not worrying about location/spots will server him well as a first step toward building his confidence, command and effectiveness.
At the end of April I said that Mauer was overpaid by 8 million/year. Now it's at least 10/year. It looks to me like he's not using his lower body at all some for some swings, like a Span swing. He's also not good against junk, but more of a FB hitter and pitchers know this. Get the fastball in for strike one, then breaking balls down over and over again.
To whoever voted for more than 50 games: You do realize that taking steroids or peds (and getting caught) only calls for 50 game, right?
Edit: Error, this person said 31-50 games. But I still stand by the above.

I too do not see the intent to hit the ump, but do clearly see the intent to vigorously and ill-temperately vent his frustrations. Yet, those were two horrible calls. I think the ump called the second strike (shown, for the K) out of spite. I'm thinking a 20 game suspension is in order.
