Know Thine Enemy: Halos Heaven
The Twins have already seen Haren once this season, back on May 29. That day Haren was, as usual, able to command the Minnesota offense in spite of not having his best stuff, en route to just three runs in six innings. And nobody was surprised. It's clear that his new pitch selection - fewer traditional fastballs, a lot more cutters, fewer curveballs - is working out for him. Here's hoping he floats that cutter in while intending to bust Mauer inside, and Joe turns on one. Or three.
Dear Cisco: Let's make it two good starts in a row, please. We need it. Sincerely, Everyone.
