Watching Kirilloff hit in that at bat....not great, but looked a whole lot better than Cave. Hope he plays both games today so they can get a feel for who goes down after the games. I guess it's still one day too early to bring him up and still set his clock back?

Radio guys just made a good point that he hasn't played since ST. I do agree and hope that he plays both games.

Is this one of those scenarios that goes something like "one for you, one for me. Two for you. One, two for me. Three for you..."?

I think it's more of a 'One for me, one for me, two for me, two for me' scenario ...

Hey Rocco, its okay to tell the boys to try to put it in play, ya never know what can happen !!

They haven’t struck out once yet, and it’s not working. With this lineup it’s more of a talent issue.

I HATE losing, but I have to shake my head at how quickly everyone wants to cut Cave, send Kirilloff to rookie ball, and trade Maeda.

Wait... are you suggesting they stroke out?

 

And when they fail at that, they'll score runs?

 

I like the way you think!

Agreed about the "cut so-and-so" comments.

 

On the flip side, when a team loses 4 games in a row at home, including a blown 6-0 lead among other things, fans are going to be displeased.

 

Twins fans have a right to be unhappy with how this team has played lately, and frankly they should be a bit peeved.

That catch in left field by Boston vs. Kiriloff's play in left field could be the difference in this game.

"Fan" is short for fanatic, afterall!

Currently 2nd in the AL in runs per game. Just hasn't looked like it yet today.

 

This is heavily skewed by the 15 run game and 10 run game.  A better metric would be the median, based on the runs scored below;

 

15,10,8,6,5,4,3,3,2,2

 

the median would be 4/5, rather than the 5.8 average.  If you remove the two extremes it falls to 5.1 runs per game.  Still not bad, but the SSS makes average runs a misleading stat right now.

Very true. We need to get our bullpen/pitching management down.

 

The four in a row doesn't scare me a ton in April, especially considering how hot the Red Sox came in. For what it's worth, and I know this was 30 years ago, but back in 1991 they went 9-11 in April and had a 6 game losing streak.
