Liriano looks messed up. Here's a recent report:

Liriano's ground ball-to-flyball rate has been in the tank since his return from Tommy John surgery. Among other interesting observations, Liriano is throwing his fastball way more so far this year than he has in previous seasons. Anyone who watched Liriano on Wednesday against Boston knows that pretty much every time he threw a fastball near the plate, the Red Sox tattooed it. In fact, in his awesome '06 season, Liriano allowed contact on 76 percent of all pitches that were in the strike zone; in '08 that number was 87.6 percent, and so far in '09, it's 82.8 percent. This just doesn't look like the same guy. For sure, you understand why the Twins would be focusing more on his fastball, especially if it hurts to throw his famed slider or his decent change. Maybe they're just trying to keep non-fastballs down as a precautionary measure. But it does seem that Liriano is not ready to reassume his mantle of dominance. Scouting reports are clearly telling opposing hitters to sit on the fastball. If he keeps throwing 'em straight, they might keep coming right back at him.

Pitt without Doumit, Wilson and possibly McLouth. Maholm has horrible numbers against several Brewer hitters.

Let's just say I can't deal with them directly and we'll leave it at that.

IMO, if you take teh Bucs, it should be for 5 innings.  Their achilles heel will be the bullpen and it will start soon.

Hughes has looked outstanding in the minors.....I think 5.5 runs was very generous.
