I have been being more and more convinced of this over the last couple seasons James. I think he would be one SCARY MOTHER as a relief pitcher but yeah.. I think it might be time to start thinking that way for him.

Right now I’m hoping there aren’t archived comments from me this winter attacking the front office for failing to sign Liriano long-term. Let’s just say he’s got a lot to prove if he thinks he’s destined to be a #1 starter for any team.
Liriano has to be able to walk the line, like effective pitchers do, between knowing when you have your “A” stuff and can go for strikeouts, and when you have your “C” game and have to hit the corners. God bless them, the Twins certainly have been patient.

Is anyone else getting a little tired of the excuses people put out there for Liriano? He’s unlucky. He doesn’t get good defense behind him. His coaches tell him to pitch to contact and not try to strike everyone out. If he tries to strike people out, he also walks too many and can’t go more than 5 innings. If he pitches to contact, he gets knocked around and doesn’t survive more than 5 innings. Maybe, at some point, you have to just say, “he’s not good at pitching right now.”

Time for Liriano’s meltdown inning I guess.

Man… I was going to go to a place for lunch where I could watch some of the game but I figured I didn’t have to go until the 3rd inning, because the Twins never score sooner than that!

Holy cow, a first inning, no-out run??
