*Is he the original Jeremy? I can't recall...
Any news on when/if we can expect a start?
140 I think
actually, they are taking the field now!
Solid first inning by Milone.
Leadoff triples are sexy
Ah, Santana. Love it.
Kennys!
On the board? Versus a Jeremy? In the first inning???
Preposterous!
there goes the no-hitter.
welp. sigh
Tommy Milnope
Well, that sucks...
With the stick.
Pussy riot boom boom.
Joe's back
Btw, the first Jeremy was an Oriole if I remember correctly. No, maybe it was Affeldt in 2006?
I thought it was an Injun?
hmm. No, I think you are right about Oriole. Guthrie was with the Injuns in 04-06, but as a reliever. He was with the O's for 07-11.
for his career, he's 8-3 with a 2.94 ERA against the Twins. 70-96 with an ERA around 4.00 against everyone else.
I think it was Affeldt
Maybe they're really all the same person. A collective, Twins-killing intelligence.
Affeldt has 6 career starts (in 24 appearances) against the Twins. He was with the Royals 2002-06, as a spot starter. For his career, 5-1 with a 1.06 ERA in 50 1/3 innings against the Twins. Yea, pretty much a Twins killer.
If this comment from DPWY is correct, then so are you.
I also remember it as Affeldt.
It wasn't Bonderman?
Sowers of Cleveland? Vs Twins: 2-2, 2.85 ERA vs Twins in seven starts with one of his two career CGs -- consecutive shutouts, the next game was a shutout against Seattle. Career: 18-30, 5.18
But I thought the first real Jeremy was someone who wasn't actually named Jeremy, but someone for whom "Jeremy" worked and half of us didn't know wasn't "Jeremy":
Jason Johnson?
yeah, I know we dabbled with "Jeremy" for other "pedestrian" pitchers, but I'm pretty sure Affeldt was the original model.
Yeah. Jeremy Affeldt is the Original Jeremy. The "Jeremy" label has since then been applied to numerous other unremarkable pitchers that shut down the Twins. If one of Andrew Albers' first two starts were against the Twins, he would have been a Jeremy.
Enjoying Ommegang's Hennepin with left-over chicken soup despite the Royal pain in inning 2.
Tiggers down by 8.
Make that seven.
Back to playing the game. weee
That was an impressive home run given up by Thielbar.
