Hey! The Twins are playing. Cool. Span’s back in the lineup! Cool. Dempster vs. Duensing….. …whelp…at least Blackburn isn’t a major leaguer anymore. First Pitch – 9:05 p.m. CDT Television – FSN Lineups Oooooow, look at all that foul territory. The Twins will feel right at home there, they’ve been playing pretty foul ball lately, winning just one game in their last ten and riding a five game losing streak. It’s so bad I wandered over [...] Duensing (2-6, 4.39)CLE: Masterson (7-10, 4.78) An early one this time around. Lineups: Twins Span, D, CF Revere, B, RF Mauer, J, 1B Willingham, J, LF Morneau, J, DH Doumit, R, C Nishioka, T, 2B Dozier, B, SS Casilla, A, 3B Indians Kipnis, J, 2B Cabrera, A, SS Choo, S, RF Santana, C, DH Brantley, [...] Long balls v. no balls….long balls win. Parker gets the win after his guys managed a cumulative 13 hits off of 5 different pitchers (out of 7 total used by the home club) including 4 more homeruns*. Duensing gets the loss after a 41 pitch first and a total of 7 earned runs during his [...] Happy Independence Day! Last night was fun; let us hope that today will be better! The Mountie is taking tonight off. Twins: Span Revere Mauer Willingham Parmelee Plouffe Doumit (DH) Carroll Casilla Tigers: Jackson Raburn Cabrera Fielder Young Peralta Boesch Avila Santiago GO TWINS! 10 starting pitchers before the All-Star break. I wonder how often that happens (idle question… don’t anyone look up how common this occurrence is, or anything). It seems like it’s probably Brian Duensing’s destiny to be a starter. By all means, he’s a much better reliever, but he ends up being the type of pitcher [...] Hey, doubleheader… why not? So it seems that baseball’s 200,000th major league game will be played today. They’re counting the start of the actual National League as the first game, mostly because it’s easier to place a direct date on it that way. If nothing else, it’s kind of cool that much as it’s changed [...] Of all the things I thought September would bring, runs wasn’t exactly one of them. I’m not complaining, it’s just that I wish they could try scoring some during games that I watch. Still, any lineup that insists on batting both Nishioka and a player with a OBP forever hovering around .300 can’t complain about [...] It’s Yankees-Twins. Captain Cheeseburger faces the Dunce, who’s barely an ensign, let alone a captain. The Yankees are waltzing to the playoffs again while the Twins are sputtering along to a possible 90-loss season. Still, though, Joe Mauer is playing right field. This is happening, and it must be seen. the dunce v. that other santana welcome back, span. we’re glad you’re still here, and we’re glad to have you back. the twins come back from a rare day off and face off against the LAAAAAAAAAA angels. on the mound is ervin santana, whom i’m told has been pitching alright as of [...] Twins record: 50-58 Fangraphs MLB Game Wrap Hitter of the Week: Jim Thome Pitcher of the Week: Brian Duensing Last night was fun, too bad these teams didn’t play on Monday. Pitchers: Twins – Dunsling Rangers – Colby “Jerry” Lewis Lineups: Twins Revere Casilla Mauer Cuddles Dude Thome Valencia Young Nishioka Rangers Kinsler Andrus Hamilton Young Cruz Napoli Moreland Torrealba Chavez Go Twins! [...] Twins record: 41-48 Fangraphs MLB Game Wrap This week I am faced with the prospect of pushing back not just one, but two excellent food-and-drink posts, both of which concern material that I find myself much more interested in than baseball at this point of this season, frankly. So I will once again try to [...] David Price vs Brian Duensing The good doctor seems to have expended all of his posting energy this morning on the book club. 2:45 Central? What kind of goofy game time is that? Programming Note: This is the MLB.tv free game of the day. The Dunce 4-6, 74.2 IP, 4.82 ERA, 3.59 FIP, 3.96 xFIP, 1.3 WAR The Freak 5-6, 98.1 IP, 3.39 ERA, 3.02 FIP, 3.07 xFIP, 2.2 WAR You know, I saw some mainstream junk asking [...] Clayton Richard vs Brian Duensing Jake Peavy with White Sox: 3.3 fWAR for $25.067 million, with $21 million more guaranteed. Clayton Richard with Padres: 2.8 fWAR for $0.746 million. I hear Peavy did quite well in his last rehab start though. The Padres rank dead last in runs scored per game. The Twins next stop, [...] C.J. Wilson vs Brian Duensing Things are looking brighter. The Twins swept a mediocre team, won their first three game series against a better team, and did well against Texas. Texas sends another lefty to the mound tonight, since it worked so well last night. Let’s just not give up the game-tying homer this time, [...] Twins record: 21-37 Fangraphs Whoops, I forgot I had to do one of these, so I’m going to get in, get out, and go to bed. The Twins won, we swept the Royals in KC, baseball is fun again, Duensing was on top of his game, there’s some cool pictures from the WGOM get-together in [...] Brian Duensing @ Max Scherzer
Alright, let’s hope the Twins put 17 or 18 on the board tonight before the basketball game starts. Because, honestly, if the Twins keep it close and ultimately lose late or in extra innings causing me to miss hoops I am going to be bummed out. Yep. That [...] Brian Duensing vs Ian Kennedy And now begins the interleague preview. The Twins have played the Diamondbacks three times. The most recent series was here in 2008, sweeping them. Livan out pitched Webb for the win in game 1. The Twins visited Arizona in 2005, winning the series 2-1, and again in 2004 with the [...] |
