Radke's current pace??

[Jim W]

I only heard it in part, but Blyleven mentioned
something about Radke's Walks to innings ratio and that he was on pace to possibly become themost accurate pitcher ever.

I've been outof touch for a few games etc. Anyone else follow this stuff or hear anything else?

Just curious! Radke doesn't get enough respect if you ask me!

He must be an unlucky pitcher, without a doubt! He is good, really good, but he does'nt get any run support when he is on the mound....when he does, something odd takes place and he gets a no decision, whats he got, something like 8 or 10? In my opinion, Radke is an ace and he should have alot more wins then he has!

I know that going into last night's game his walks per 9 innings was .8, which led the AL easily. There was one other pitcher at .94 or something like that & Silva was 4th in the AL at like 1.47.

He's definitely been screwed by anemic hitting when he pitches, with any luck at all he'd have 12-13 wins right now. I'm sure the Twins hitters are aware of that & feel bad about it too, but it still stinks.

Radke had 11 no-decisions through last start.

Blyleven would have had 300 wins if not for some weak Twins bats in his early years. He lost a lot of games with no support.

Radke gets screwed more than Jenna Jameson!

What a gem Radke pitched last night. Santana's getting all the ink but Bradley's changeup is as off-speed as ever. Absolutely owned Jorge Posada, and got several big K's by painting the corner. Gotta love Bernie Williams getting rung up.
Koskie's lumber is getting hot, JJ is making plays and Morneau is still blasting top shelf round tickets. Already has more HRs and RBIs than Dougie Ballgame, who got run over at 2nd the other night (then talked trash as usual).
Hope we keep this rolling. Right to another pennant. Then who knows? If Lohse and Romero find their stuff our staff is looking pretty solid. Rincon is a good upgrade from Fiore and with Nathan our bullpen is better than it's been in a long time.
Bust out the brooms, we're gonna sweep the pinstripes.

I don't know about us sweeping the Yanks. 2 out of 3 would be nice, and I think that the injuns will be swept by texas.

However, you are right about Radke. The guy really is having one of his best years this year. He hasn't had any run support, otherwise he would be close to having a 20-win season.

[Eric Wettschreck]

I totally agree with Wade. Only problem with last nights game is that I didn't get to see it until the 5th inning. Dick and Bert were singing Brads praises, as usual. And as usual, they were well deserved. He's our ace no matter how good the other starters are doing. I just wish the team could score him some more runs on a regular basis.

Sweep the pinstripes???? Dare to dream. Winning the series, however, would be a HUGE shot in the arm for the team. Especially after the struggles they've had the last few series.

Go Twins.

No kidding ,just taking one game is a major victory considering we were 0-13 the last 13 meetings. Remember the Yanks are without Giambi and A-Rod right now too, but who cares, a W is still a W! I think we go up against Mussina tonight, who has our number, it should be a hell of a pitchers duel.

Oh yeah, If Radke had ANY run support he would win 20 games this year easy. If memory serves me right his last 4 starts he has a no decision, and I think he left with the lead in a couple of those.
