Minnesota Twins @ Milwaukee Brewers (May 18-20)

[grindiangrad-80]

The Twins had 3 K's in the 9th- and not 1 swing at a strike. That has got to be a record. Still, 2 out of 3 aint bad.

Damn Geoff Jenkins...

and no Slowey. He isn't ready yet. Garza should be next up.

2 out if 3 aint bad on the road but they should have won that game on Sunday.

If they intend on getting back into it, they have to win that game every time.

OK so Ortiz was in for one batter too long and they tie it. That happens.
Get back up and hit the ball.

Yup, Punto had a rough Sunday, getting picked off in the first and then not getting Rodriguez in from third with one out late in the game. Morneau didn't have a great day at the plate either, striking out twice and hitting a dribbler right into the teeth of the defensive shift the Brewers put on for him. It looked like Jenkins jacked a pretty good pitch from Ortiz, but Ortiz must be driving the Twins' crazy by throwing outside all the time. And it turns out Reyes has a sore shoulder.

On the other hand, Cuddyer had a good day, with the homer and a nice catch .

Nice to take the series though, next up is Texas with Silva starting tonight.

OK so Ortiz was in for one batter too long...

There were more hard hit balls than you see on funniest home videos.

He had nothing.

As long as they are hit at somebody, it doesn't matter. I will admit that he hasn't been the best, but they can't kick him already just because of the success Baker had in 1 start. There's no guarantee that Slowey or Garza would be able to pitch like that and no use in rushing them. Give Ortiz a couple more starts along with Baker and then we can assess.

Punto... if he wasn't so good defensively he'd be gone already like Batista. He's reminding me of Juan Castro from last year.
