Since Fielder hadn't reached 1st at the time of the wild throw by Florimon, in actuality he was awarded 2 bases as well. So both players were awarded 2 bases for Florimon's wild throw.

That makes...

I'm aware of that

I have a question about Saturday's (06-15) game against the Tigers.

Situation:

Cabrera on 2B, Fielder hits a grounder to Florimon (SS), Cabrera holds and Florimon throws the ball into the...

IIRC, Plouffe can't be activated until Saturday.

Personally, I think something is wrong with Burton and he should be DL'ed to make room for Plouffe. With the starters generally pitching deeper...

I believe that most of the time when Bert isn't covering the Twins it is due to his HOF obligations.

While Diamond did cruise through 5 innings, he got hit hard in the 6th and his PC was up to 95 after the inning. I had no problem pulling Diamond after the 6th.

I wanted to add that while I wish...

Brock, what happened to the "Series Preview" posts where we can get a glance that the scheduled matchups?

I think the Twins as well as other teams are just trying to teach hitters to go with the pitch. Maybe it is a communication issue.

Dozier is a good case. He had early success when pulling the...

First Detroit is operating in the red (i.e. they are losing money on an annual basis). The difference is the Illitch is desperate to have the Tigers win the WS before he dies. With all of the...

You may be correct, but I read otherwise.

Puck is correct, there is league preference, so since Texas has the best record in the AL we know that 13 passed on him.

Nope, Mastroianni's move made room for Colabello. They are probably going to move Wood to the 60-Day DL to make room for Deduno.

Since they are the only 2 injured players they are going to have...

This only applies to veterans. Worley hasn't achieved that status yet.

Pelfrey on the other hand has. Even though Pelfrey does have an option left, since he has veteran status he can refuse the...

The tale of 2 Kyles.

So far Kyle has pitched great every other outing: 5 games, 35.2IP and 2 ER.
His other 4 outings have been 17IP and 17ER.

I can see where the FO would like to see a little...

I find it humorous that after the BP collapse on Friday that Dick n Bert were commenting that the Twins have 5 games before there next off day and they need the starters to go at least 6 IP in those...

A SW wind is blowing to LF not CF.

From HP to straight Center is Due East. North is the line from First to Third.

Also it looks like the Wind will be out of the West by game time and shifting...

I have a question regarding 2 similar plays.

Friday Plouffe was credited with an error for his wild throw while fielding a bunt bare handed, which I believe was the correct call.

On the other...

Mauer is 6 for 19 with RISP and 7 RBIs
Hicks is 6 for 20 w/RISP and 11 RBIs

Mauer is performing in Run Producing situations, it's just the guys on base aren't scoring.

I think it is his legs. He finally has his leg strength back.

Well at least Perez didn't ask to be released on the 1st.

No.

My Guess is that Mauer will get Wednesday (Day game) and Thursday (No Game) off.

Here is the data for you: Last year with Pittsburgh, Correia pitch 6-7 innings 19 times. Of those 19 he completed the frame 17 times. In the 17 games where he finished the inning, he was PH for in...

This looks to be a tough series based on the ERA of the SP. They all have an ERA less than 3.25.

How much longer do we have to endure Pelfrey before he is asked to work on some things in AAA?

It looks like he has 1 option left, but due to his veteran status he can refuse the assignment.
