With this pen, every game becomes a potential victory. But we have to bring the bats vs Bauer. We need to set the tone in game 1. Whomever starts needs to be ready from the getgo. Nothing left in the tank, go all out. You can go 4 scoreless and be cooked and that’s fine.
Wonder if Francona is getting too cute on starting Bauer. He doesn't impress me.
Unless Tito is saving him up for a potential Tanaka match up, there would be no excuse to begin a series with anything less than your ace. And isn't Carassco or whatever his name is better than Bauer?
Well, I had a sliver of hope that the Twins might be able to win that game after they scored 3 in the top of the first. That sliver disappeared as soon as Santana walked Gardner to lead off the bottom of the first.
