Let’s just get the team off the road and get back home to the dome.
This road trip just flat out sucked.
After about the 6th inning of the Twins/Blue Jays final game today, it looked like the Twins confidence was just shot. These guys need to get back home in from of the home crowd of the dome and try to play some good baseball against the Tigers.
Losing 0-9 to the Blue Jays in the final game of the road trip? Well, that was just pretty much the worst way to end the road trip. It’s gonna be a long trip home.
At least the White Sox have been playing just about as bad and it’s actually still a tight race between the two teams. If either the Twins or the White Sox had gone on a year over the last few games there could easily be a gap of a few games between the two.
Let’s get home, play the Tigers hard. Get some confidence back in this team. Hopefully the September call-ups that have been added to the bullpen can provide a little rest for some of the heavily worn pitchers as of late. Guys like Humber and Korecky could provide some valuable releif time to give the bullpen a little rest and a boost.
Hopefully Humber doesn’t let this first Twins appearance get to him and can keep his stuff together and help out the Twins. The same goes for the rest of the new guys (including Everyday Eddie!, who is starting to remind me more of Terry Mullholland than the Eddie I remember of they early part of the decade.
