Long road trip but the Twins ended it on a good note, taking the series from Cleveland. Seems the boys are happy to be home they are playing well tonight!
Gotta love when your MVP is not playing and the guy they bring up for him goes 4 for 5 in his debut! Wilson Ramos wasn't so hot down in triple A but he sure is showing off his hitting in the limelight
But that's why they sent him down and kept Butera. Wilson got the at bats he needed to stay hot. Kinda feel bad for Drew, he is destined to be the bridesmaid. Seems with another hot night at the plate he becomes a great trade piece if we need to get some pitching strength. We got a lot of young catchers right now, guess we'll see if Morales gets healthy. (currently is 7 of 9) They will both be sent down when Jose is healthy again. Sucks for Drew who has played really well the last couple games filling in for Joe. Held on to the ball in a big play at the plate, of course in the same game he couldn't get the clutch hit when they needed it to win the game. Baseball is a tough game, those guys coming up to fill in for injuries have one shot to show what they got. Every at bat is important if they dont light up the stat sheet they wont make the right impression.
Baker was ok tonight didn't fall apart when things got tough. Liriano was amazing in Cleveland. Has to help when everybody is hitting and running the bases!
Twins hopefully will make a strong statement against the Tigers at home and avenge their only series loss. Detroit has some serious weak areas especially defense so we should be able to put some runs up!
Go Twins!
