Jim, any idea what's up with Delmon Young. Sounds like a serious family matter. Hope his family is ok, as they seemed very cool when MLB Network showed that amazing documentary on the family.

 

I don't know too much actually. I heard about it on the radio tonight and really haven't checked up on it. But he flew out to California and is on a 'Bereavement' list and will be out 3-7 days.

you all got your wishes. Joe Crede left tonights game with a tweaked lower back.

I don't think anyone wished that it would happen, but more just predicting when it would happen.

yeah, I guess I said that wrong.

 

I get how you Sox fans really dug that guy though. He is a vacuum cleaner at 3B. Obviously, I saw him play some when he was a Sox, but following him everyday, I appreciate him even more (especially after the long list of bad-to-mediocre 3bmen the Twins have had since Koskie's glory days in the early 2000s)

Devil Rays, s***, Rays come back from seven down to tie up the Indians on a Zobrist homer.

Twins choke away the win in NY, as Nathan blows a 4-2 lead.

 

They always seem to struggle in NYC. Matsui and Swisher failed by Melky Cabrera came up with a two out single to score the final two runs with the bases loaded.

 

CLE blew their huge lead at TB as well. Indians' bullpen is worse than our offense, if that's humanly possible. CLE has now officially blown a 7-0 lead. BJ Upton gets his first homer of the season, walkoff against former Sox 05 pitcher Luis Vizcaino. Good thing we didn't pick him up!

 

The biggest problem we have is that DJ Carrasco and Broadway will go on the DL soon with how many innings they're pitching.

Upton crushes a homer to left. Rays win 8-7 over Indians

from the StarTrib about Joe Crede

 

Update: Manager Ron Gardenhire said Crede had back spasms and his hamstrings were tightening up.

 

“So we got him out of there as quick as we could, and we’ll see what happens. We’ll just go day-to-day.”

 

he has had some Hammy problems of late. It happened after playing in the rain in Baltimore a few weeks back

The Royals ushers are giving out their food for free, because of an hour and a half rain delay. That's damn cool.

Holy cow, I thought the Indians and Twins were both going to win tonight for sure. Just saw that they both blew their leads (especially surprised about the Indians). The AL Central is giving the NL West a good battle for worst division in baseball.

 

Can we please, please win a few games in a row and at least get back to .500? Or at the very least just play good, solid baseball?

back problems for Crede?

 

I'm shocked.

Like clockwork for Crede. What's the over/under on a trip to the DL?

Once he tweeked his back this season was over. I wouldn't be surprised if the samething happened again around June 1st. Joe doesn't seem to be able to get more than a couple of months at a time of his back.

Eh, a couple of weeks early. That ought to be the beginning of the end of the Joe Crede era in MN.

any Yankee Stadium is a house of horrors for the Twins. Under the Ron Gardenhire regime, they have 3 wins. 3 win in 8 years. thats pretty much impossible to do

He is a vacuum cleaner at 3B.

Yes, Joe Crede sucks.

I still remember the Mike Trombley game pretty vividly

I guess that is pretty similar to going three season without holding even a lead in a stadium...

Anyone else see that sick play at home that Mauer made on Brett Gardener the other day? http://minnesota.twins.mlb.com/news/articl...tent_id=4796334

Yep all Gardner needs to his jump over him. It was kind of liek the Jeter play during the playoffs.

D-train with a surprisingly solid outing. 6.1ip 0r, 1h, 5k, 2w. Pretty impressive against the Rangers.

The Rangers couldn't score against Willis? They need to fire their hitting coach.

Might as well. He's no good anyway; he never played in the majors.

he looked better, that's for sure, but his velocity is gone.

So yeah, Justin Verlander looks amazing. If he can regain form and be an ace, I don't see anyone staying close to the Tigers this year in the ALC.

Verlander, after really struggling early, has his BAA at the .212 mark and is at a pace for roughly 300-330 strikeouts.

 

He's Zach Greinke again except flying under the radar because of the horrible start he got off to this season.

 

The one thing about Verlander is he isn't able to pitch deep into games because of all the strikeouts and some wildness, but he doesn't need to worry about it with the bullpen they have going right now.

 

Six games over .500 now unless the bullpen implodes like Kerry Wood last night against KC.
