Silver Lining

If there was a silver lining to the horrible Twins game tonight (compliments of the bullpen), it was the performance of the offense. And, on this site, the performance of Jason Kubel.

2-for-4, 1 run, 2 RBI, and a BB

Watching tonights game, although painful at the end, you could tell that Kubel is feeling very comfortable at the plate.

Off of Kubel for a second, a question for Gardy: What's the point of carrying 12 pitchers if you're not going to use them to win games? Two of your guys struggled (mightily), yet Gardy left them both out longer than he should have. Sometimes, he just blows the mind.

Gardy and Rick must have a short leash with the pitchers speaking late innings with a lead or even a close ball game. This is why it is a team sport. No shame to pull someone if they don't have their good stuff that day. They should know just by looking at their warmups or even better looking into their eyes to see what they got that night unlesss your blind or don't know your guys. Wrecking Crain, nothing personal here but every time he takes the mound I get hot.
