Game 91: Twins at Red Sox
Jul 9th, 2008 | By SBG | Category: 2008 Twins Game Logsubelmann must have been doing some late night physics equations or something. The starters are Josh Beckett and Livan Hernandez. Looking at that matchup makes the last two losses sting just a little more.
Game 90: Twins vs. Crimson Hosers
Jul 8th, 2008 | By ubelmann | Category: 2008 Twins Game LogsBlackburn v. Lester
Now that Lester has started throwing more strikes and has his xFIP down to 4.17, I'm less of a hater.
The Red Sox are currently in second place in the AL East. I see two clear reasons for this:
1) The Red Sox are not superheroes in a cartoon.
2) The Rays are [...]
Game 89: Twins at Beantown
Jul 7th, 2008 | By ubelmann | Category: 2008 Twins Game LogsLight Rail vs. Dice-K
Dice-K has a 5.07 xFIP so far this year, mainly fueled by a crazy 5.7 BB/G and a low, low 35.5% GB%. As a team, the Twins still don't walk very much (255 walks ranks 25th in baseball), but it seems like (outside of Gomez and Delmon) a lot of the [...]
2008 Game 37: Boston Red Sox vs. Minnesota Twins
May 12th, 2008 | By ubelmann | Category: 2008 Twins Game LogsClay Buchholz vs. Livan Hernandez
Programming note: Beware the 6pm CT ESPN start time.
Buccholz has a 3.45 xFIP so far, to go with a ZiPS-projected 4.47 ERA. Lots of strikeouts (8.9 K/G), and an uspectacular/poorish walk rate (3.4 BB/G), and a decent ground balll rate (44% GB%). I certainly think he'll turn out to [...]
2008 Game 36: Boston Red Sox vs. Minnesota Twins
May 11th, 2008 | By ubelmann | Category: 2008 Twins Game LogsTim Wakefield vs. Nick Blackburn
I don't think I really have anything particularly worth saying today. I'm sure we'll hear about Wakefield's previous success in domes about 10,000 times during the broadcast.
Happy Mother's Day.
2008 Game 35: Boston Red Sox vs. Minnesota Twins
May 10th, 2008 | By ubelmann | Category: 2008 Twins Game LogsDice-K vs. Glen Perkins
Dice-K has 27 walks in 40.7 IP this year. Holy walks, batman. I've got a good feeling about Morneau vs. Dice-K today.
For all the same reasons I don't really believe that much in Jon Lester as a top pitching prospect, I have serious doubts about Perkins. Mainly, I just [...]
2008 Game 33: Boston Red Sox vs. Minnesota Twins
May 9th, 2008 | By ubelmann | Category: 2008 Twins Game LogsJon Lester vs. Boof Bonser
Jon Lester is one of those pitchers I just don't "get." Or rather, I don't understand where all the hype comes from. In the minors, Lester had 203 walks in 486 innings, and holy crap that's a lot of walks. As one might reasonably expect, his walk rate [...]
