The Twins played a nice 13 inning game with the Tigers last night. They used two of the three projected starters for the weekend series, so it is unclear exactly who will be starting for them. The Rangers will lead off with Derek Holland on Friday. He is taking Rich Harden's spot in the rotation.
This would be a nice time for Derek to get a stranglehold on a spot in the rotation. Beating Minnnesota would probably do that for Derek.
Let's go Rangers!
Big series for both teams. Should be a fun one to watch.
ReplyDeleteI was down at Target Field for the extra inning affair last night with the Tigers.
Winning 2 of 3 should NOT be that tough to pull off; the Twins' bullpen is depleted by injuries and overuse, as is their starting rotation. Their lineup is missing some of their LH power bats. This is currently a crippled ball team.
ReplyDeleteReally hoping this series goes well. Texas needs the home field advantage going into the post-season.
ReplyDeleteStill got a chance to get your 2 out of 3... But the odds are dwindling. (I'm looking at you, cincy-sippycup!)
ReplyDeleteGreat game last night. The Twins seem to pluck guys out of nowhere from their farm system and they step up. I had to look through the collection when I got home from the game to see if I had a Matt Fox in the collection. Once again, Matt who? Must of been a thrill for him to get a standing ovation from the crowd when he was pulled.
On a side note, I'm sure all you Ranger guys are tearing up your Repko cards, which should only increase the value on mine. :)
See you in the ALCS!
