Twins in first place
- Thread starter SLCyclone
- Start date
Hmmm, I guess they must not have run into the buzzsaw that is the Seattle Mariners yet! :smile: If they had, they would probably be 19-10 :biglaugh:
Youngest twins team in a while also. Good things to come in the coming years with the new twins stadium and alot of young talent :yes:
Hopefully their pitching can keep it up and their bats get going. Just think if that happens. Morneau hasn't gotten hot yet, Cuddyer hasn't done much, and Young hasn't even started to get going yet. If these guys can just have their average year and the pitching stays the exact same then it could be a great season. Then again they are only 29 games into the season and there is a LONG ways to go.
No. Gardy isn't expected back until Wednesday I don't think. It's too bad what happened and he needs to take some time away to be with family.
He didn't feel well while mowing his lawn. He came inside to take a break and suffered a heart attack.
Morneau hasn't gotten hot yet? His stats may looks deceiving...but he is hitting far over .400 with runners in scoring position last I checked. His batting average is the only thing that hasn't picked up yet, but his run production is stellar right now. If Delmon, Kubel, Cuddyer and Mauer can go on a tear, the Twins would be in great shape.
I think Cuddy and Mauer look pretty comfortable at the plate...especially Mauer. Delmon really does need to pick it up, and he has the talent to do so. I'm not so sure on Kubel if he is going to be able to be a consistent hitter...but his time is now to prove that he can. We pretty much know what we will get out of Mauer, Morneau and Cuddy.....Delmon and Gomez will probably decide if we are an avg lineup, or really good lineup.
Morneau is starting to get comfortable at the plate. I'm not expecting much today, however, as he is 1 for 12 in his career against Rogers.
Boof had a nice rebound after the first inning. I didn't expect to see a win today after the marathon top of the first inning.
It is looking like they shouldn't be 20+ games under 500 in the division this year. I just hope the pitching holds up. The bullpen has had a lot of innings this year already.
The Tigers being a monumental bust and the Indians and White Sox not taking advantage has left this division WIDE OPEN. The bats for the Twins are beginning to wake up. I think this season will be predicated on the pitching (something we've been talking about all season). If Hernandez, Blackburn, and Baker keep surprising, if Bonser can find some consistency, and if Liriano can pull it together, this could be a memorable season. However, that is a LOT of ifs...
