Twins-Angels: Matt Guerrier Turns On His A-Game for Minnesota

Sat, 23 Aug 2008 05:29:23 +1900

I must admit; I was less than thrilled when Gardenhire elected to run out Matt Guerrier for the ninth inning on Thursday night. The score was tied, and if one run was surrendered, the Twins would have started this road trip on the wrong foot. After thinking it over, I realized that the right decision was made. There was no other real option in the bullpen besides Nathan. I would much rather have Nathan available later in the game, if needed. It turns out that is exactly what happened. It was a fairly large gamble, but one I would want made again in a heartbeat. Not only did the Twins get the win, but Thursday night was a huge morale boost for Guerrier. Previous to that game, this 29-year-old reliever had turned in results that left something to be desired. Last year, Guerrier was amazing. He never had an ERA over 2.39 and he had a sub-two ERA for the majority of the year. His WHIP is now 486 points higher, his overall ERA 2.43 points higher, and his K/SO ratio over 1.5 points higher than last ...
