Not a good night for the Twins as they lost 4-2 to the Toons. There was nothing positive on this evening. The pitching stunk, the hitting stunk, the defense stunk, and the baserunning stunk. I turned the MLB.TV of this game off in the fifth inning. I seen enough. This team looked skittish tonight for whatever reason. This game was over in the second inning as the Indians scored 2 runs in the first and 2 runs in the second.
Joe just did not have it out there in the mound tonight. He was getting hit pretty hard early and then he got killed by the long-ball by Hafner, Crisp, and ex-Twin Casey Blake. Joe was lucky that the score was not even worse. This could have been 10-2 blowout. He got out of a jam in the second and he got out of a bases loaded jam in the fifth. It wasn't something to be proud off for sure.
I thought the pen at least looked good. TM, Matt Guerrier, J.C., and Jesse kept it at bay. I am glad Jesse is getting lot of work and he is doing good.
The hitters did absoultely nothing against Westbrook and the maligned Indians bullpen.
I was okay with Torii stealing even though he was caught. He is a good base stealer so I trust his judgement. I did wonder why Jacques went to second when it was just a single.
Michael Cuddyer had a rough night defensively.
The highlight of the night was Justin hitting another HR. This kid never cease to amaze me.
There is nothing much to say than forget this game and get ready for tommorow.
