Re: ***Official Minnesota Twins V Oakland A\'s playoff thread***
Twins kinda sucked hard today.
Zito was not sharp, but only Castillo had the sanity to actually wait for a decent pitch. Everyone else, even guys with seemingly good walk rates over the season, just came out hacking, and so you had a lot of weak ground balls.
Also, very poor managing from Gardenhire. First off, no way Castillo should just have a [censored] green light in the first. Second, why on earth do you not put in Nathan in the top of the ninth? You are never getting a save situation. Put your best pitcher in and keep it to one run.
The Twins need to get their [censored] together or they are going down in three. Loaiza/Haren will eat them up if they are going to swing at everything.
