Fred Garvin: Male Prostitute
Starting Pitchers:
Here's what Jesse wrote prior to Santana's Sunday start against the Twins:
As talented as the 26-year old is, he's had a lot of trouble this year with his throwing arm (elbow, forearm and tricep injuries). As a result he's lost velocity on all of his pitches this season, including an average of three miles per hour off his fastball...the knee-breaking slider from last year is still good, just not as good.
Santana lived down to that analysis, giving up six earned runs and not getting out of the 4th as the Twins demolished the Angels, 10-1. Bravo, Jesse. Santana has had all week to lick his wounds, which is one of my favorite gross metaphors, and we'll see what he brings to the table this evening.
Hey, remember when Blackburn was the staff ace? I really enjoyed that.
Quite simply, if Blackburn doesn't return to form in a hurry, the Twins are going nowhere this year. His last two starts have been dreadful to the point where if you weren't paying attention, you'd swear it was Scott Klingenbeck out there.
As those of you who've been feverishly clicking Refresh and checking your Twittercraft already know, earlier today the Twins picked up Orlando Cabrera from Oakland for Class A infielder Tyler Landendorf, slammed down the phone, and said "Championship!" Or something like that. As the story notes, Cabrera won't be here until tomorrow, meaning tonight is probably your last chance to see Alexi Casilla until someone gets hurt again. So give or take a week, I suppose.

Aww
I was excited to see Cabrera play TONIGHT. Buzzkill.
Favorite Comedians: Mike Birbiglia, Doug Benson, Daniel Tosh, Delmon Young in Left Field.
Since Cabrera wont be a Twin tonight
that means tomorrow I get to actually witness his first game as a Twin! How exciting!
New Twin games...
I saw Bret Boone’s first game with us.
EPIC
Favorite Comedians: Mike Birbiglia, Doug Benson, Daniel Tosh, Delmon Young in Left Field.
Ugh
Rough start to the game for Nick.
Game 5 of the 14 game winning streak may be a high scoring affair!
Gomez might be aided by instructions on
throwing the ball in from the outfield. They often do not have a good result.
1-0 LAA
Good god, Blackburn.
"He didn’t call me or anything. It was an accident, but a lot of people would have called to see how someone is doing after they got hit in the head. Especially if they had to go on the DL." — Morneau on pitcher Ron Villone after an April 2005 beaning.
Dick says "Mauer batting 2nd for at least one more night"
I suppose that confirms teh OC will bat 2nd
According to Joe C -
Gardy isn’t sure that Cabrera will be the #2 hitter. And a bigger surprise – Gardy wouldn’t commit to making Punto the every day second baseman

OC-Punto
isn’t really an upgrade over Harris-Punto, although it’s an upgrade over Punto-Casilla, but not as good as the obvious OC-Harris
So we’ll see.
I agree with you about OC-Punto not being an upgrade
I just expected Gardy to keep Punto in because Gardy seems to love Punto and hate Harris for some reason.

Blackburn not looking real good yet tonight.

i'm not very optimistic tonight
but at least Blackburn got 2 strikeouts this inning, even if they were against Matthews and Willits
by what_would_gil_thorp_do on Jul 31, 2009 8:41 PM EDT up reply actions
The obvious roster move for tomorrow
is to send Casilla to AAA. What will they do, what will they do?
Non-zero chance they make a move involving Harris or Buscher imo.

Nice game so far, but it is early.
5 in a row would be awesome (Game 5 of the 14 game winning streak) but this Angels team can pound it when they want to. I wanna see Blackie lock in and go deep.

So was Cabrera the only trade deal we made?
Or was there a pitcher thrown in at the very last minute?

I haven't listened in forever
…what is Faith minute?

It's a paid ad from a religious group.
Tonight I learned that just as Michael Jordan couldn’t win an NBA title by himself, Our Savior had disciples whom he sent out to do stuff. I found the analogy a bit strained. But teamwork is important to all of us, even Christians. Which is indisputably true.
'Right now, I am going to urinate' -Tom Kelly
Hmmm...alright.
I guess I would tune out the Faith Minute if I were listening. :\

And I am a Christian. (But we probably shouldnt open this issue up here, it usually does not end well:)

Utterly inappropriate topic. Sorry I brought it up.

Was just wondering that
Listening on radio, Gladden seemed to think Punto should have had that…
'Right now, I am going to urinate' -Tom Kelly
meh
some SS’s maybe stop it cleanly. I doubt very many throw him out at first. It was very deep in the hole.
First step not shown on TV....
Sometimes great SS’s are there before the camera gets there…
Not saying Cabrera woulda had it… having some fun there… but range is not defined by a diving stop on TV.
Has Cabrera ever played on turf every day?
Didn’t the Montreals have turf when he came up?
'Right now, I am going to urinate' -Tom Kelly
I rewinded and looked at it again on DVR
I doubt any SS makes that play starting from where Punto was positioned. Again, they might have fielded it, but not thrown him out.
Bartlett would have had that
Peyton's good but have you ever heard of Jeff George?
BTW
Gladden just said Cabrera won’t improve the Twins’ hitting, but he will help the Offense. I’ll noodle on that for a while.
'Right now, I am going to urinate' -Tom Kelly
I'm trying hard
to come up with a tasteless sexual innuendo but what I’ve thought of is too icky to post. So I won’t.
'Right now, I am going to urinate' -Tom Kelly
Gordo says
If the Twins had gotten Washburn and Peavy, in addition to Cabrera, they’d win the division. He’s getting weirder and weirder.
'Right now, I am going to urinate' -Tom Kelly
I think if we had gotten
Lee, Halladay and Santana back from thre METS we woudl probably kick a lot of ass.

'Right now, I am going to urinate' -Tom Kelly
Blacky gets out of another mini-jam
91 pitches thru 6. Wouldn’t mind seeing him done for the night. Lotsa cracks in the dam, eventually some waters going to break thru
I say give him the next inning but have someone warmed up
Peyton's good but have you ever heard of Jeff George?
I didn't see anyone warming up
At least they didn’t mention it and usually they do.
Peyton's good but have you ever heard of Jeff George?
Also that second out
No way Delmon gets that, I’m so glad the Twins have been starting Gomez in CF and Span in LF. Gives them some great defense.
Peyton's good but have you ever heard of Jeff George?
Must be some nasty lightning coming
KSTP just scratched and went dead for a moment—and I’m listening in S. Mpls. Next year this time one would have been wise to have the poncho at the new ballpark…

Sort of random, but...
Can you imagine games at the new stadium in April? We have gotten snow in April before.

Speaking of new ballpark
We hepcats aren’t going to call it “Target Field”, are we? Is there a super-cool, in-the-know nickname for it yet, or should we let that develop organically?
'Right now, I am going to urinate' -Tom Kelly
Yes, us in-the-know have already chosen it

Touche.
I was just testing the agreed-upon secrecy measures.

More Blackie
But Gordo says Mijares is warming. And Blackie serves up a meatball to Willits.
'Right now, I am going to urinate' -Tom Kelly
Matt Guerrier & Mijares warming up
The flow may be stemmed soon.
Strikeouts are boring - besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls. More democratic. -Bull Durham
How slowly can Blackburn work

'Right now, I am going to urinate' -Tom Kelly
made little sense to have Mijares up if you aren't going to bring him in for Abreu
with 4 righties following him

sigh
Very frustrating. Gardy has had numerous times this year where he’s left a guy in too long. This was a comfortable 3 run lead. Now it’s a one-run game.
by ajmargarine on Jul 31, 2009 10:11 PM EDT up reply actions
oh Mijares
Hopefully he gets this guy but man when he’s off he’s really off it seems . . . and he gets the force out haha.
Peyton's good but have you ever heard of Jeff George?
Well, that was a little spooky.
But I guess it turned out OK. We get the bashers up and Ervin’s thrown 114.
'Right now, I am going to urinate' -Tom Kelly
Isn't this Chris Speier's kid?
Not that anyone from around here would remember Chris Speier.
'Right now, I am going to urinate' -Tom Kelly
There oughta be a joke in there
But when Pops was with the Twins he was hurt the whole time and then he was just…gone, so I can’t come up with anything.

Tight game at Cleveland
4-3 IP’s, top 8, 2 down, Inge on 2nd…
'Right now, I am going to urinate' -Tom Kelly
That was a little disappointing.

Well there went the lead.
5-5
Strikeouts are boring - besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls. More democratic. -Bull Durham
At least Kerry Wood fanned Granderson
So Cleveland got out of the top of 8 with a 4-3 lead.
'Right now, I am going to urinate' -Tom Kelly
wow Guerrier
First earned run given up since June 25th. Pretty damn good month I guess.
Peyton's good but have you ever heard of Jeff George?
He's been pretty impressive this year.
Strikeouts are boring - besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls. More democratic. -Bull Durham
yeah, he's been great
had a bad feeling about his last game that carried over to this game that he was due to give up a run.
If only Gardy had let the bullpen get the last 9 outs, we’d be fine right now.
by ajmargarine on Jul 31, 2009 10:35 PM EDT up reply actions
Hopefully the offense is still capable of scoring...
The mentality of grabbing a lead in the third or fourth and then hanging on for dear life is something that’s bugged me about the Twins for years.
Buscher hitting for Casilla?
Why, exactly? While we’re at it, why not me? I live close enough to the Dome, and I can’t hit either…

Nathan had better be coming into the game
with the top of the order due up, I would def bring him into the game now!
Was that first called ball really a strike? It looked like it was.

Ironically
by trying to squeeze an extra inning out of his starter to save the bullpen, we are in danger of wasting the bullpen.

Matty G has been so impressive
this season! And amazingly his arm isnt falling off yet…but there is still August and September for that to happen.
Does Guerrier’s contract end after this year or is it after 2010?
Dr. Neau
has hit some monster loud fouls tonight. Straighten one out!
'Right now, I am going to urinate' -Tom Kelly
We'd be in a nasty delay if we were outside
It’s raining pretty hard, lots of lightning, in Mpls. Looks like it won’t last too long. But something most of us have forgotten about…

Strikeouts are boring - besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls. More democratic. -Bull Durham
Gardy's going by the book here...
Home game… closer usually pitches the 10th.
Road game… need to wait until you get a lead
Really?
No sarcasm—is that really “the book?” It kind of makes sense, depending on who’s due up in the bottom of 10.
'Right now, I am going to urinate' -Tom Kelly
Pretty much...
I don’t think you ever “play for the 11th”.
The point is that there’s no reason for the home team to save the closer.
Makes sense.
Just hadn’t heard that it was conventional wisdom, though I don’t see why not at this point. There’s probably no optimal way to run a bullpen for a 16-inning game.
'Right now, I am going to urinate' -Tom Kelly
why not?
use the best three pitchers first and then once Nathan is done…come in with the all powerful arms of Dickey and Keppel!
of course you bring in Nathan
also Rivera was 3-4 and Napoli is 4-4

this is probably not good for our 14 game winning streak
Oh lord...
Crain warming up to replace Keppel. Hahaha.
Strikeouts are boring - besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls. More democratic. -Bull Durham
And of course Keppel shows why Billy Smith and the rest of the Front office Failed* at this trade Deadline
I had to put the Asterisk because I have to give them props because of the Fantastic Pick up of Orlando Cabrera..But we really needed Bullpen Help…and we aren’t going to get anybody worth a damn before the Waiver deadline.
11th inning...
Eventually we run out of pitchers…
I blame the offense. We were joking about the guy with the ERA of 6.66, but the heart of our order was held scoreless for two innings. Guys with 6.66 ERA’s give up a lot of runs. We should have won this in a walk-off already
This is another Gardy game
Pull Blacky after 6. Mijares for one, Guerrier for one, Nathan for one. 9 outs with a 3 run lead. Instead, it became a one-run lead. And a run happened to Matty.

I can't pitch
Really, I live really close. I’ll grab my mitt; I can be down there in 10 minutes. This inning might still be going. I might be able to hit 50 mph. No movement, so I’m like Crain in that regard. Why not?
