Minnesota's hitting isn't good enough. Morneau is about the only thing going for them. Maurer isn't hitting as good as was expected.

i couldn't believe morneau's stats when i saw them. idk why he doesn't get more attention. those are some nice numbers

Because he is in Minnesota...a small market team.

they hype liriano and mauer but not morneau.

That's different. Liriano is having a breakout year and he is a rookie. A pitcher with a sub 2 era is almost the equivalent of a hitter with a .400 avg. Hence the reason you also saw Maurer getting a lot of attention.

But I knew 2-3 years ago that those two guys (Maurer & Morneau) were going to be up and coming stars.

Mauer can put on a hitting clinic. I really like that guy. Plus he is a hell of a catcher.

Morneau is having an amazing year as well. Impressive stats.

fastest Ive pitched (clocked) was at 80 mph

I had a good curve though

I played 19 years of baseball and I was usually a 3rd baseman, but I would pitch alot too. I used to be able to get into the low 90's with a 4 seamer and my 2 seamer was high 80's. Curve ball was high 70's and my change up was low 70's. Also did a Knucklecurve which I could get into the low 60's, but wasnt very consistent with it. I could only pitch a good 3 innings when I got older. When I was younger though, man I could go all game. Then again those were 6 and 7 inning games back in the day and I couldnt pitch that fast.

Liriano is probably headed to the DL.

White Sox vs Yankees today. Lol.

 

[ConcernedMember 10+ year member]

Where are the guys? Arf!!! Arf!!! Arf!!!

Can't believe we let this get knocked back to page 2.

Detroit lost, Mets won, Giants down 2, White Sox tied, and Cleveland lost. I think that about covers everybodies teams right?

Yankees have bases loaded 1-out. Giambi up. I'm a Giambi fan, so if he hits a grand slam I won't be entirely disappointed.

 

[ConcernedMember 10+ year member]

Yeah!!!!!! Paulie goes deep off Rivera. Tie game.

Mets win in Piazza's return to Shea

Wagner allows 2 runners on base in the 9th (again) but gets the save!

Wagner makes you bite your nails doesn't he?
