I posted yesterday on the utterly inane strategy that the Twins have taken with regard to Joe Crede’s health, namely that they have refused to put him on the DL to rest and rehab despite the fact that he has missed between 3 and 6 days every two-week period all season, excluding the last two [...]

Last week in spring training and Fantasy Draft

So… the Twins haven’t been playing so well the last week or so. In all honesty, I have no idea why. I think it has something to do with the starters generally pitching rather poorly, a select few relievers pitching even more poorly, and a generally stymied offense. For a great breakdown of all the [...]
Joe Crede: Better than a poke in the eye.(tm)

Maybe it’s just an elbow in the ribs. Or maybe it’s a kiss on the cheek. I dunno.
I don’t know what to think about Joe Crede, so I thought I would take a post to examine my feelings. In fact, I’m gonna do it bullet-point style, yust to calm me.
Things I know:
Crede was good on [...]

As tonight is the first of many spring training games and is effectively the beginning of baseball season, I think it is time for some bold predictions, to rip off Andrew over at Twins Fix. His predictions are extremely positive, which I like. I’m not so positive, but I’ll see where this goes.
BTW, I have [...]
Getting to Third Base (and a poke in the eye)

No, not the sexual third base. What are we, middle schoolers?
Today, LENIII of the Star Tribune said, for the first time, that he thought that the Twins had a good shot at getting Crede. He made a more methodical run-down of the teams that might be interested in Crede, which is worth reading, of course. [...]
Worst. Inning. Ever.

So. The third inning was arguably the ugliest defensive inning of the season for the Twins. No errors show up on the box score, but there were at least three judgment calls for the official scorer.
Brendan Harris – had a slow line drive hit almost right at him… and let it roll out of his [...]
The Metrodome vs. the House that Ruth Built

Scott Baker should (rightfully) be angry with his offense tonight. Lets look at the numbers for a moment:
# of starts that Baker has given a quality start: 10
record in those quality starts: 4-3 with 3 NDs
# of starts that Baker has given up only 1 run or less: 5 (Not including the May 3 appearance [...]
