Well, the inaugural series was pretty ugly. The pitching was solid, even though Buehrle struggled loosening up, but the offense was non-existent. I’m not crying in my beer yet, but scoring a total of five runs in three games against the Royals isn’t really going to strike fear in the hearts of the Twins. As I unimpressively predicted, the line-up is already being shuffled around game-to-game. DeWayne Wise has yet to reach base in ten at-bats, which explains his plummet from lead off hitter as recently as Wednesday to his current home in the ninth spot. This is probably a good move… I feel better about Getz leading off with Pierzynski or Fields batting second. You could even move Alexei up if he starts getting hot, but based on his Wise-worthy .000 OBP, that isn’t any time soon.
