Game 22 - Twins @ Angels - 4/30/12

[striker_86]

Plouffe, Parmelee, Casillia coming up in the 9th. So you're saying there's a chance!

Plouffe is due!!

I'm pretty sure every downtrodden Twins fan has already internally resigned themselves to the fact that Albert Pujols is going to break his homerless streak against our favorite club. Anyone want to venture which pitcher will give it up during which game and in which inning?

My money is off Burton in the 7th tonight.

How about an opportunity in the 8th?? Burton gets Pujols on a pop up to CF.

Thanks for playing.

Plouffe is due!!

To fly out to centre

Plouffe and Parmalee should be in Rochester until they get better.

Nice at bat by Casilla. Now it's up to Span.

[glunn]

If Span gets on base, Mauer is pinch hitting for Carroll.

And Span grounds out weakly to second, and our misery continues ...

Nice rally, at least they didn't go down with their tails between their legs. Great game by Casilla, his play lately is very encouraging, Valencia had another big hit tonight. Wilson was great tonight, got to hand it to him.

I thought Blackburn was real good, a couple of bad ones that got cashed, unfortunate. If we get that from him moving forward it'll pay off. That's back to back quality starts for Twins pitchers.

Urgh. That's the 4th one-run loss in the last 6 games. All games that we were one timely hit, one good pitch, one lucky bounce or one blown call away from winning. But that's the difference between being 6-16 and being 10-12.

Here's hoping we can find a way to start winning these games and maybe catch a few breaks here and there ourselves.

Plouffe, Borroughs and Parmalee all looked pretty bad at the plate -- not making good swings. And the Angels outfield was playing at little league depth against Carroll.
