Post number 5 K for me.
Happy opening day!
Is the game televised locally?
They are who we thought they were.
not good yesterday ... they only lost by 2
Today is a new day! Twins win! Twins win! Twins win!
Yesterday was a better day for the Twins. Lets hope they continue that trend today.
Come on Gardy, get after it!
Yep, new day today!
Its good to see Mauer in the 2 hole.
I've been saying to put him there for 2 years, and now that he is there it just proves that I know everything and you guys don't! (Sorry fellas, I just couldn't resist)
I like the "Twins" philosophy on working at-bats, and working the count, but this team takes it to a whole nother level. In the opener with guys on base and their "big bats" coming to the plate they watched very hittable pitches go by then had to settle for swinging at some off speed breaking pitch later in the at-bat. It would just be nice to see Mauer, Morneau, and Willy smash that grooved fastball once in a while even when they are ahead in the count. They are good hitters, and when they get a B.P. style pitch they can do some damage. With the pitching as a question mark, we need to compensate somehow, and being a little more aggressive with our good hitters may be part of the answer.
A wise man once said the bat is a weapon, use it that way!
