Minnesota Twins vs. Texas Rangers 8/30-9/1

[romeo212000]

Will post it when I get to a PC. But if you look at the weekend probables on ESPN we have a call up with a high ERA, then struggling Pelfrey then someone with a 4.32 ERA who is pitching well and deep lately.

Problem is, Texas probably doesn't have much of a book against any if these guys. That's their kryptonite.

Oh well ... that's simple ... guys just need to extend their ABs ... (tongue in cheek)

It really is simple isn't it?

Darvish vs. Hendriks, Garza vs. Pelfrey, and Blackley vs. Correia. The only one I'm worried about is the 3rd one and its not because of Blackley. Correia shut us down in Minnesota early in the season, I don't recall our team scoring a run the entire game.

Yeah that was the April 28th game where we were shut out for the first time.

Will have Profar run a mini camp for AJ and a couple of others.

It is kind of funny but after Blackley's game many kind of blew it off because it was Seattle where many praised Perez. Their stats were very similar and the 2 runs driven in by Miller against Blackley was a dying quail jam shot. And in 6 innings Blackley threw 71 pitches where Perez threw 100. Now of course for the long run I am taking Perez every time but let's not blow off what Blackley has done so far. I don't know if he continues to get the job done but I hope so.

Not sure if this was already posted but Feliz pitched 3 innings last night of 2 hit ball. Had 4 K's with 0 BBs.

AL Central teams play Texas tough. I have zero expectations for this series. I just want to win 2 of 3 and move on.

OT: the Orioles have claimed both Mike Morse and Josh Willingham

Certainly agree. A year ago he was doing it TO TEX ... and this year he's doing it FOR TEX. In a patchwork of either by himself or teamed with Ogando and/or Tepesch eating innings and winning games out of the #5 spot is all good.

Gonna get interesting in the ALE

They must really need a DH. They have a great defense, and neither guy is all that good defensively.

Not worried. Different day in time. The king beat us before but not lately. That's my case and I'm sticking to it. lol

Agree. Each of these guys have proven they can contribute to winning games. Your point well taken.

A's taking it to Scherzer, 2 runs 3 hits early. Maybe AL West is a tougher division than the east coast brains think.

 

[dunmysr]

Come On Detroit, please don't be swept in a 4 game series to yet another AL West team, not named The Texas Rangers.

 

[dunmysr]

Please Miggy....hit one out here and tie it up

Miggy has sucked so bad vs the A's this year.

 

[RevSader]

Yeah he's going to be 19-2 after today. He's looking like dog shit.

 

[darrylgann]

If this the way Detroit is, I'll gladly play them in the playoffs! No fight in 'em!
