    1, 2, 3!

    So many pitches! I remember when games only went about 2 and a half hours.
  3. stringer bell
    The Dodgers might be the worst-fielding good team in MLB.

    Most of the roster has done pretty well. Some have floundered greatly. On May 1, here is the dump list for the Twins: 1) Mike Pelfrey--The numbers are terrible. His confidence is at an all-time low and he doesn't have great stuff. Both Pelfrey's velocity and location have been miserable. Perhaps he is injured? 2) Pedro Florimon--Good (maybe better than that) defense can't make up for a sub-.400 OPS. He didn't hit well last year and this year has so far been an abomination. 3) Aaron Hicks--For the second straight spring, Hicks has teased us with showing tools and developing skills in Spring Training, followed by poor hitting when the games are for real. 4) Jared Burton--He's older, probably not needed with the Twins deep bullpen, and has slipped markedly since his outstanding 2011. 5) Kevin Correia--Very low upside and on the last year of his contract. Correia may or may not be blocking a better pitcher. He certainly is in front of pitchers with much more upside.

    Yes, the lower velocity and lack of command are a concern. However, numbers are skewed this early in the season. If relievers can get an out that when the starters leave with a couple runners on base, the ERA looks much better. Gibson yesterday being a very good example. I won't say the Pelfrey has been luckless--he's allowed far too many baserunners and hard hit balls--but things usually even out.

    Plouffe has been a consistently good hitter this year. He had the count advantage and went for it. He failed. It happens. I thought it was the right move, but Plouffe needed to be relatively sure he could get good wood on the ball and he didn't.
  7. stringer bell
    That's it, I'm headed for the gym.
  8. stringer bell
    Pretty good outing for Gibson. If the pen holds it at 3-1, I'll be satisfied. Of course, another blooper and it's 5-1.
  9. stringer bell
    Time to get the BP ready. Gibson with 6+ and the meat of the order coming up.
  10. stringer bell
    The next one left no doubt.
  11. stringer bell
    I thought that was strike three to Pinto.
  12. stringer bell
    How long do the Dodgers go with Grienke? He's probably going to go over 100 pitches this inning. Looks like he didn't have much trouble with Colabello.
  13. stringer bell
    It is an official game. The Twins get to get all three games in vs. the Dodgers. Nice weather might have netted more dollars.
  14. stringer bell
    Much better AB for Plouffe, couldn't find a gap.
  15. stringer bell
    Well, that's a week's worth of production from the shortstop position.
  16. stringer bell
    Gibson made a nice play, too. Glad he didn't hurt something.
  17. stringer bell
    Web gem!
  18. stringer bell
    Joe doesn't look too confident going back on pop flies.
  19. stringer bell
    That many errors is a red flag. More troublesome to me is Polanco's arm. I don't know if he has enough arm to be an everyday shortstop. Polanco looks like he could be a plus offensive player, but I really think his position will be second base.
  20. stringer bell
    Dozier showing up Puig for not running hard to first?
  21. stringer bell
    Now I can complain about official scoring. It hurts no one that the run is ruled unearned, but it isn't right. Even a slow guy like Pinto scores on that double (near triple), with two outs. That run should be earned.
  22. stringer bell
    Mattlingly is doing the stall. The right thing to do.
  23. stringer bell
    Why didn't Gardy stall until the Twins' staff saw the replay. Pretty conclusive that Zuke didn't tag him 'til he touched the plate.
  24. stringer bell
    I don't think he speaks Venezuelan either.
  25. stringer bell
    Gibson, for a first year guy, sure shakes off the catcher a lot.
