The Twins could have played Mauer, Lamb Kubel, Everett, Torii Hunter or Kirby Puckett. If Joe Saunders executes his pitches like he did last night, he would have shoved it up all their --ses!

It's the swing. Until he stays on the ball longer and drives it to left and left-center, it's not going to get any better. He is not getting beat inside very often, but he is getting killed outside repeatedly. Why would a pitcher work him anywhere but outside corner (on or off of it) when he keeps flailing away or rolling it over to the second baseman? bufftwins,

Face it, it was a B-squad lineup and Nick Blackburn deserved better for the first MLB start of his career. Ben D….and the other five hitters were mashing the ball all over the park, right?
