Blackburn Has a Good Outing.

[DonBo]

The pitching staff may be better than we think if these guys keep it up.

Blackburn today: 5 Innings, 3Hits, 2 BB, 4 SO. Spring Training ERA 2.25

[CNY Tim]

Lohse was about the same today..

5 innings, 3 hits, 1 walk, 4 strike outs, Spring Training ERA 1.80

LOHSE!!!

BLACKBURN!!!

Blackburn has more upside though!

[CNY Tim]

Yes true... However Lohse will be playing his butt off for a big contract... The Cards are renting him a year as a safety valve until we get Carp and Mulder back but you never know, seems like Dunc really likes this vet. I like what I see., he's already moved up to #3 in the rotation. Go Kyle.

[Coach1310]

Don't get too goo-goo over Lohse, he is great at dissappointing time and time again. The fact that he is basically a one year contract, last stitch effort guy, may help him show his potential. I can't tell you how many times I hear Gammons say, "His stuff is as good as picture in the league..". He must have been watching him pitch in the bullpen or something. I hope it works out for him, but he was as frustrating a player the Twins have had in years!! I guess I don't miss LOHSE or as I like to call him, Lousy!!

At least Blackburn has a cool name -- like a pirate.

I think he would make Kyle walk the plank after he walked the bases loaded.

[Dahitman44]

do you think they will put a pirate hat on Blackburn if the make a bobble head of him?
