Wow, what a HR by Cron! These hitters are doing a good job responding after our pitchers give up runs.

 

The radio guys* just said that the Twins have scored in the inning immediately following an opponent's run 48 percent of the time. That's the best mark in the majors.

 

*And by "radio guys," I mean Provus. No way Gladden comes up with a tidbit like that.

The pen rears its partially ugly head again.   You cant get by in today's baseball with a weak pen. Bullpens are used every game, and a strong, deep one is one of the primary keys to winning.

Today, I thought I'd check in, and see how the Twins are faring in the standings:     Surprise Surprise, the Twins are in first place in the Central. However, it is March, March 15th to be exact and

Nick Burdi has an insane k rate for the pirates so far this year. Then there is Nick Anderson...

I think Perez gets by with smoke and mirrors all the time...until he gets clobbered

I'm not entirely ready to write him off yet. It will be interesting to see how the increased velocity impacts his performance, if it does at all.

 

At least he's not throwing the ball all over the place tonight. His command is decent, much better than his bullpen innings.

More Morneau, Less Morris

Need a bad meal once in a while to better appreciate the good ones.

That was an example of how you can be watching a rather mundane baseball game and suddenly something happens that I've never seen happen before.

Yep. I can't recall ever seeing that happen before (where a runner gets picked off, not being confused by the count... I've seen that several times).

not true in the least.

It's what I tell myself after I've had a truly bad meal. Meals that were memorably bad. Meals that make one pine for the haute cuisine of McDonalds.

I usually don’t think of guys hitting 95 as smoke and mirrors.

Not the his plus velocity means he’ll be good.

97 MPH on ball 4 to the .143 hitter .

 

Far exceeded expectations tonight...some luck in play, which he took advice of.

It required the only two players on the field for the Jays not knowing what the count was--both the batter and the baserunner. If either one had been paying attention that would not have happened. Additionally it required Cron to be paying attention.
