Must be it... never saw him do it before

33 pitches for 2 innings. Scioscia told Terry and Mark earlier Richards would be near where he was last time, which was 52 pitches. i'm guessing 60.

I think 60-70 pitches depending on how he is doing.

Calhoun needs to learn how to bunt. I mean, christ, that's an easy basehit

[Ochocinco!]

Cy verlander for the rest of the night ... Had a chance in the first and blew it 

[eligrba4ever]

At least Luis made Verlander work for that out. 5 pitches for Kole and Simba combined.

[Waybackman]

Oakland swept them decisively in 4 games. I doubt we will be so lucky.

He's hittable trust me.

Uh, Ichiro led the league in hits 5 straight seasons. Not sure what Rojas is talking about

It's a little misleading, it says he's the only player to lead the league in more than 3 straight years. (2006-10). That's accurate. 

 

Edit: just realized you were talking about what Rojas was saying I think?

Twinkies homered in each of their first seven innings tonight. Experts are searching the record books. 16-0 Twins top of 9.

Touchdown and 3 field goals for Vikings over chargers?

[eligrba4ever]

G-Rich 45 pitches through 3, BTW.

[Season Over]

Yeah....we aren't scoring tonight are we?

[GrittyVeterans]

Maldonado is a very bad hitter

Yes sir. Won't take a fuckin walk if you gave him million bucks either.

[Angelsfirst]

Despite being shut out through 3, I feel like Verlander is gonna give up some runs tonight.

He's basically Jeff Mathis.  I dont get the love affair this board has with him.

He controls the running game a lot better. I still think he should get more days off though.
