Temporary Game thread

Sending Gomez to Triple A, Bad Plate Discipline, just doesnt look like hes ready for the Big Leagues, that Away you can call up Liriano, Move Livan or Blackburn to Long Relief, DFA Bass, Send down Gomez, Move Span to Center, When Cuddyer Comes off the DL, DFA Lamb.

I'd be shocked

to see them send Gomez down. I’m excited to see how he responds to being in the 9 hole. Maybe he’ll relax a bit and won’t feel quite as pressured. We can only hope he turns it around

Peyton's good but have you ever heard of Jeff George?

by halfchest on Jul 22, 2008 7:54 PM EDT up 0 recs

He'd have to fall off the face of the batting earth

for them to send him down. As long as he keeps up solid defensive play and stays above the mendoza line he is our starting centerfielder come hell or high water.

but it sucks when he runs into his own bunts

for an out…

If it wasn’t for the Twins actually fighting for the division I think they would send him down but they are in the race so gotta keep his glove and hope for the best w/ his bat

by caluofmn on Jul 22, 2008 7:58 PM EDT up 0 recs

Yeah,

when he ran into his own (non-sacrifice) bunt there in the 3rd, with all of their fielders (and their mothers) waiting for him to try and bunt for a single it was impossible not to laugh in frustration.

just tuned in

VERY excited to see Gomez in the nine hole! For whatever reason Directtv has the game on so I am watching it.

Wow Span is fast!

by montanatwinsfan on Jul 22, 2008 7:46 PM EDT 0 recs

Watched Gardenhire eat sunflower seeds.

He threw most of them in his mouth, but it wasn’t a pretty sight.

could Gomez lose the CF job to Span next year?

When Cuddyer comes back I’d like to see Gomez and Span do some platooning in CF.

I could see how Carlos can lose the job.

by caluofmn on Jul 22, 2008 7:56 PM EDT 0 recs

It would be next year at the earliest

Span would have to keep playing great like he has this year and Gomez would have to keep tanking it. I really hope that’s not the case but I wouldn’t mind a bit of a platoon between them. Give Span some starts against righties and let him give Cuddy and Young days off as well playing 3 to 4 days a week.

weak double play to end the inning by Kubel.

uffda

Slowey walks Giambi and is alraedy looking a little tired here in the 4th after about 67 pitches.

by montanatwinsfan on Jul 22, 2008 8:13 PM EDT 0 recs

NY guys were talking how sneaky fast his is.

gets out of the inning

he is pitching well enough where it will be another shame if he doesn’t get the W

by caluofmn on Jul 22, 2008 8:16 PM EDT up 0 recs

So thats what Busher looks like.

On his MLB picture he looks like he is fat, but on tv here he just looks big and strong.

Hey

Gomez gets a hit. What is he now 2 hits for his last 28?

by montanatwinsfan on Jul 22, 2008 8:33 PM EDT 0 recs

Gomez Ties it up

WOOT!

by Tony_O on Jul 22, 2008 8:35 PM EDT 0 recs

or

4 in his last 43. But that was a heads up PURE SPEED base stealing by Gomez for a run.

Gotta hand that one to him!

Punto, Gomez, Casilla and Span batting 8-2. That really does have the ability to revive the pirahnas.

C'mon cue-ball bases loaded!

by montanatwinsfan on Jul 22, 2008 8:42 PM EDT 0 recs

and the Twins Take the lead 2-1

by Tony_O on Jul 22, 2008 8:43 PM EDT 0 recs

Well that's glass half full

thinking with Kubel up bases loaded and he just misses hitting into the double play…

by montanatwinsfan on Jul 22, 2008 8:57 PM EDT up 0 recs

damn cue-ball.

promote the guy already

Peyton's good but have you ever heard of Jeff George?

I would promote him this very second.

Well, maybe after the game…

c'mon

be smart about it. Smith is on the phones trying to trade Hernandez right now. He has another 8 days to try and get some value, so stop creaming you pants already.

. . . too much info?

WAY too much info, if you ask me.

Hopefully we can get back on track in Cleveland. New York is looking like a lost cause. It’s frustrating too because the Tigers are gaining and a Sox lead means we could drop back…
