Today's afternoon POD

[MNCapper]

Won yesterday with the Brewers to run record to 50-44-3 (+$226.14 if bet $100 on each POD). Here is my POD for this afternoon:

Twins (-120) Francisco Liriano makes his 1st start for the Twins and has been compared to Johan Santana. Liriano was 9-2 with a 1.78 era in 14 starts in AAA Rochester. In 91 innings, he had 112k/24bb with a fastball up to 97 MPH and a slider that hits 90! Detroit is 2-8 last 10 at home and have lost 11 of last 13 games. Douglass has been demoted from a starter, but is starting due to injuries and last 3 starts has an era of 19.73. Liriano is the real deal and will be a great pitcher for the Twins in the future.

gl today buddy!

GL today MNC! I was leaning towards the over but I'll pass because of your info on Liriano. Douglass does suck so I think you have a nice play on the Twins.

Good luck on the call!

GL today Capper!

[moondog22]

good luck Capper

[MNCapper]

Thanks guys!

Thank guys! This year Liriano has pitched in 2 innings of relief. He gave up a homer to Matthews Jr (I think it was Matthews Jr), but did strike out 5 batters. Hopefully he won't be too nervous about his 1st big league start. He will definately be a starter for the Twins next year. Good luck everyone!

I might take you up on this call....Thanks Bud and good luck today...

GL on your POD

[griffey_mojo]

Kid looks very sharp early. Struck out 4 of the first 6 batters. Now the game goes into rain delay.

[tash]

Liriano 68 Pitches-7 So-2 Hits And They Fucking Pull Him After 5 Innings! Lets Cross Are Fingers Here As Joe Mays Is In!

[griffey_mojo]

Shit! They brought that bum Mays in in the bottom of 6. Great gives up a leadoff double. And another single. RUnners on corners no outs. Way to go Mays. Were they trying to keep Lariano on a pitch count or what? He only threw 69 pitches.

[MNCapper]

Shit Joe Mays

Worried now since Mays is one of the worst pitchers on the Twins. Liriano pitched good, but Twins bats need to wake up against a bad pitcher Douglass!

6-4-3

I am on this game too because of Liriano...that rain delay pissed me off and now that he's out the value is lost on this play, I am pissed. GL
