Game 76: LA Dodgers at Minnesota

Jun 28th, 2006 | By SBG | Category: Game Logs, MLB, Minnesota Twins

Starting Pitchers:
Odalis Perez, 4-2, 6.33 v. Johan Santana, 8-4, 2.75.
One of these guys is 29 years old, has a career mark of 56-53, with a 4.18 ERA and is making $8,750,000. The other guy is 27 years old and has a career mark of 67-29, with a 3.25 ERA and is making $8,750,000. [...]



Game 76: LA Dodgers at Minnesota

Jun 27th, 2006 | By SBG | Category: Game Logs, MLB, Minnesota Twins

I realize that in the excitement of actually attending the game last night (and the fact that we have a house guest), I forgot to post your favorite feature, 360 Degrees. Fear not! I’ll get to that tonight. Meanwhile, there’s a game to be played tonight.
Starting Pitchers
Generalissimo Francisco Liriano, 7-1, 2.17 v. [...]



Game 75: LA Dodgers at Minnesota

Jun 26th, 2006 | By SBG | Category: Game Logs, MLB, Minnesota Twins

I'll be in attendance at the game this evening with my good friend, Melman.
Starting pitchers:
Chad "Don't call me Barbara" Billingsley, 0-0, 3.48 v. Carlos Silva, 3-8, 6.87
The Twins are 3-1 all-time vs. the Dodgers in Minnesota. Ouch, though, that one loss sure hurt.
Billingsley is a 21-year old rookie making his third major league [...]



Game 74: Chicago Cubs at Minnesota

Jun 25th, 2006 | By SBG | Category: Game Logs, MLB, Minnesota Twins

Starting pitchers:
Sean Marshall, 4-5, 4.97 v. Brad Radke, 5-7, 5.84
Originally, this was supposed to be Greg Maddux. No offense to Mr. Marshall, who is probably a great human being, but the absence of the 300 game winner and future Hall of Famer takes a little of the luster of this matchup. No matter, [...]



Game 73: Chicago Cubs at Minnesota

Jun 24th, 2006 | By SBG | Category: Game Logs, MLB, Minnesota Twins

Ah, sooner or later, it was going to happen. The Twins play the Cubs and Mark Prior is the starting pitcher. Except the Cubs never figured that he'd be injury prone like he has been.
Starting Pitchers:
Mark Prior, 0-1, 17.18 v. Boof Bonser, 1-1, 5.81
Prior has pitched just 3 2/3 innings so far this [...]



Game 72: Chicago Cubs at Minnesota

Jun 23rd, 2006 | By SBG | Category: Game Logs, MLB, Minnesota Twins

Starting Pitchers:
Carlos Marmol, 1-1, 2.81 v. Johan Santana, 7-4, 2.87.
Not quite the pitching match up of last night. This is Marmol's third career start and fifth career appearance. The other guy, we know.
Joe Sheehan from Baseball Prospectus wrote about last night's game and the Twins in general today.
The better story, for one night, [...]



Game 71 Minnesota at Houston

Jun 22nd, 2006 | By SBG | Category: Game Logs, MLB, Minnesota Twins

Let’s see, who are the starting pitchers again tonight?
Oh yeah.
Francisco Liriano, 6-1, 2.16 v. Roger Clemens, 0-0, 0.00
Of course, ESPN is carrying this game because of Clemens, but it is a great chance for the rest of the baseball world to see the newest gunslinger, Mr. Liriano.
I suppose a lot of you out there don’t [...]



Game 70: Minnesota v. Houston

Jun 21st, 2006 | By SBG | Category: Game Logs, MLB, Minnesota Twins

It's the pitching matchup of the season!
Oh wait, sorry, jumped the gun there.
It's Carlos Silva, 3-8, 7.07 v. "Everyone Knows It's" Wandy Rodriguez, 6-4, 4.59. (You're with me, Leather.) Hey, Silva's ERA is almost under 7.00! Considering where it's been, that's good news. Time for him to chisel some more off [...]



Game 69: Minnesota at Houston

Jun 20th, 2006 | By SBG | Category: Game Logs, MLB, Minnesota Twins

Starters:
Brad Radke, 5-7, 5.83 v. Roy Oswalt, 6-3, 3.21.
The Twins have won seven straight and nine of ten. The Astros have won seven of ten and are two games out of the Wild Card slot. If we get the suddenly resurgent Brad Radke, then this could be a good matchup.



Game 68: Minnesota at Pittsburgh

Jun 18th, 2006 | By SBG | Category: Game Logs, MLB, Minnesota Twins

Starting Pitchers:
Johan Santana, 6-4, 2.99 v. Oliver Perez, 2-8, 6.68
This is one the Twins have to win. And oh boy, how things have changed in the last week. Six wins in a row and the end of the oppressive dictatorship on the left side of the infield. Plus, Jason Bartlett has been [...]



Game 66: Minnesota at Pittsburgh

Jun 16th, 2006 | By SBG | Category: Game Logs, MLB, Minnesota Twins

Starting Pitchers:
Francisco Liriano, 5-1, 2.10 v. Ian Snell, 7-3, 4.75
Coming off the great three game sweep, the Twins send their brilliant rookie out to take on the Bucs.
In an earlier conversation, ubelmann says this (edited):
The Twins’ blueprint still depends on the part about getting good prospects. The Twins will do well precisely when they start [...]



Game 65: Boston at Minnesota

Jun 15th, 2006 | By SBG | Category: Game Logs, MLB, Minnesota Twins

Starting Pitchers:
Tim Wakefield, 4-7, 3.93 v. Carlos Silva, 2-8, 7.73
It ain't been pretty for Silva.
Update: Castro traded to Reds for single A outfielder. Thanks, brianS!
Update II: LENIII with the goods:
Castro was miscast as an everyday player, and his meager offensive output was even more glaring this month, as he entered Thursday with [...]



Game 64 — Boston at Minnesota

Jun 14th, 2006 | By SBG | Category: Game Logs, Minnesota Twins

Starting pitchers:
Matt Clement, 5-4, 6.68 v. Brad Radke, 4-7, 6.17
Who wants to bet that this one won't quite live up to the game played last night? Then again, who wants to bet that that game will be topped at all this year by anyone anywhere?
Radke has (cross my fingers) started to play better. [...]

From the MLB.COM recap of last night's game:
