Great Robertson

By Mike McClary in Fungoes | 4 comments

Three observations about tonight’s 1-0 win over the Twins:

  1. Nate Robertson was superb tonight. I think we need to see another solid outing from him before we deem his tired arm fully rested.
  2. Macay McBride pitched more like Bake McBride. A leadoff walk is never a good approach.
  3. The home plate umpire was wildy inconsistent with his balls and strikes tonight.

Three questions about the game:

  1. Is there a more annoying pitcher right now — on another team, that is — than Pat Neshek?
  2. I ask this not to be cute: Am I the only one who fully expects Todd Jones to blow every lead he’s given?
  3. Why is it when I watch the Twins I still expect to see Dan Gladden and his mop of hair playing left field?

    Actually, I kind of like Neshek and his funky delivery. I enjoy seeing some guys who make you go, “What IS that?” (Though I could be biased because his ERA and WHIP are helping a couple of my fantasy teams.)

    And when I watch the Twins, I always expect that GIANT FAN to be behind home plate, but apparently the Metrodome has gotten rid of that. Or maybe they just covered it with a Best Buy ad.

    I was impressed with Robertson .

    I always expect Jones to blow EVERY lead as well.
