naiwf 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2006 Twins fans cheering the ball being thrown back is just bush league. You're losing the series right now fools. With Boof going in game 2, and the Twins phobia of taking pitches Johan might not get another start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2006 Here's wonderful strategy. You're down two and you can't afford to give up another run. So you give the ball to the guy you called up from AAA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naiwf 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2006 NEWSFLASH: Hitting is difficult. True, but you don't have to swing at the first pitch every time. Zito was not pitching well and yet the Twins would not make him work. He threw 52 strikes and 40 balls, but most of the strikes were by the Twins being overly aggressive and popping out on the 1st or 2nd pitch of the at bat. Don't get me wrong, Minnesota didn't deserve to win this game, but some patience and a timely bunt would have given them the chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just pointing out that you can't judge Mauer and Morneau as clutch hitters based on one game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
