I watched 7 innings. Down 6-0 my daughter wanted to watch Conan and the actors from Game of Thrones and Walking Dead who were interviewed. As soon as it was over I said "Let's check on the Twins"... we turned to see Suzuki get plunked and the score was 6-3, bases loaded with one out. We watched Santana nearly decapitate Soria for 6-5 and the Dozier. My 18 year old daughter has a new crush, it is no longer Benedict Cumberbatch... but one Brian Dozier. I think I have a mini-crush myself right now.
1-2 count on Kurt Suzuki one of the least threatening hitters in the league and he beans him with a fluttery off speed pitch in the arm.
Then the 1st pitch slider to Dozier. Now Doz is a notorious fastball masher so the slider wasn't a bad idea, but he's also a notorious 1st pitch swing that likes the ball up....so you simply cannot even come close to hanging a slider there. He did.
Hicks was just a great battle and Santana...honestly no body expected that lol.
soria...pitching in his 3rd straight night...you would think every body saw he didn't have it last night....every body but assmus! even Leyland would have made a change....twins think they won the world series or some thing....shame a great outing by VERLAND2R was wasted....oh but the way,...HE BACK!
