Minnesota Twins at Texas Rangers, Aug 20, 2009 8:05 PM EDT
First Pitch: 7:05pm CDT
TV: FS-N
Radio: Twins Radio Network
Know Thine Enemy: Lone Star Ball
After a second straight come from behind victory last night in Arlington, the Twins look to take 3 out of 4 tonight against the Rangers. At four games below .500, Minnesota needs a long, hot streak in order to climb back into the thick of the AL Central race. Where better to kick off such a streak than Texas, where it's too hot and humid to even play a day getaway game?
Starting Pitchers
Rookie Derek Holland is considered the second highest pitching prospect (to Neftali Feliz) in the Texas organization. A four-pitch left hander, Holland features a low 90's fastball, slider, curve and change. His rookie season, as for most, has been one of ups and downs. Over his last four starts, he's been very good, pitching 28.2 IP, 16 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 8 BB, 25 SO over the last month. In a start against Minnesota on July 19th, the Twins managed 3 runs on 5 hits and 4 walks over 4 innings. Sounds like more wasted opportunities to me...
It's time for Twins pitching coach Rick Anderson to earn his paycheck. Swarzak has been an absolute mess in his three August starts, listed below. He's got an 18.00 ERA and 3.25 WHIP over the three starts. The only good news? His FIP is lower than his ERA (9.08), primarily because he's only allowed one walk this month...it's still terrible though. We should know after the first couple innings whether Swarzak will have a chance to see the 5th inning for the first time this month.
- Aug. 15: 4.0 IP, 8 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 1 BB, 2 SO, 2 HR
- Aug. 07: 1.0 IP, 8 H, 7 R, 7 ER, 0 BB, 1 SO, 2 HR
- Aug. 01: 3.0 IP, 9 H, 6 R, 4 ER, 0 BB, 1 SO, 0 HR
Lineup
Will be posted closer to game time. Expect to see Mauer DH, as he's caught the last three games and had a rough night behind the plate last night. Holland is a left hander, so Kubel may sit as well. I'm guessing Harris at 1B, Young-Gomez-Cuddyer in the OF and Mauer at DH?
UPDATE: Duh. Forgot Span. Cuddyer is at 1B. I was wondering about that...with both Kubel and Morneau sitting, the bottom of the order is a little soft.

I've been watching the 1987 World Series on DVD the past few nights.
FANTASTIC! Bert Blyleven’s curveball is out of this world.
I hope MLB releases the 1991 Series, soon.

I have the 87 series on DVD as well
They released it on the 20 year anniversary, which means we can expect 1991 in…carry the one… 2011.
That was such a fun team.

SwarzSmack doesn’t belong.
You can’t give up 3- and 4-run leads three nights in a row to big-league teams and keep on winning. He’s smart enough to know it, but not good enough to prevent it.

Call in the Arsonists
at this point can’t they bring back Dickey time, just so we can say it’s Dickey time?

I was always a fan of Dickey time.
it’s really a shame he’s gone.

The Hold Steady does not suck!
And Craig Finn(lead singer) is a Twins fans I believe
I remember him doing a ESPN live chat thing last year

haha, I'm not saying *I* think they suck
but you know…youtubers. They’re not always the most intelligent of people.

Will Humber the Lumber Humbler have a scoreless inning?

Could we send up some dead horses instead?

one of those where he gets to grab a few guys and carry them around the bases with him...
by fischean on Aug 20, 2009 10:56 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
more like three of those
but it’s too late for Demon anyway.

red dawg
with the batting FAIL
he need to go up naked or does that only work for batting practice?
by caluofmn on Aug 20, 2009 10:58 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
what?!
I think that’s the #1 guy on the Twins I wouldn’t want to see naked…

when Redmond was with the Marlins
the team was doing poorly, playing tight
by caluofmn on Aug 20, 2009 11:07 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
so one day he goes out for BP
wearing nothing but his cleets, batting gloves, and helmet…
it loosen the team up… the started a hot streak….the win the WS
by caluofmn on Aug 20, 2009 11:08 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Oh wow...
another reason Redmond would be a great coach. Motivation factor…
by fischean on Aug 20, 2009 11:14 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
yeah it's one of those baseball stories
that should be in a movie
by caluofmn on Aug 20, 2009 11:17 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I hope they have a Brad Pitt-equivalent playing him in the movie
otherwise….I may pass on that one :)
by fischean on Aug 20, 2009 11:23 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
It's Redmond
it’d be more like Gene Hackman…
ok I think I just throw up in my mouth a little
by caluofmn on Aug 20, 2009 11:26 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
ditto.
and it would be like Al Pacino or something. haha….oh, ew.

you did that one to yourself
I’m innocent
by caluofmn on Aug 20, 2009 11:51 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
haha it's not necessarily bad
just one of those things. I am much better at being innocent anyway. It’s the ponies.

A run here I’m going to call that a “moral victory”

So true.
like I said, I expected them to get swept, so yay for a split!
by fischean on Aug 20, 2009 10:57 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
and boo for moral victory
I’d like a real one again
by caluofmn on Aug 20, 2009 11:09 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
yeah, I think 3 Ws in a row is asking too much from this pitching staff.
by fischean on Aug 20, 2009 11:15 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
well we know 4 is the most they can give
so I guess 2 is what we should expect
by caluofmn on Aug 20, 2009 11:18 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
yeah, I guess they think that's fair.
how very wrong they are.

Staying positive...
At least we aren’t in Cleveland
I think someone posted that before but I still like it

The second attempt is even better

no one there can afford a video camera to make a response video
by fischean on Aug 21, 2009 4:48 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
it would have been better if they really didn't have a video camera
this is pretty weak…
by caluofmn on Aug 22, 2009 1:37 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
That's pitiful
they don’t even insult Cleveland in it!
by fischean on Aug 22, 2009 11:49 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
yup, I guess you can’t even really call it a response.
