Saturday Morning Baseball: Hot and Cold

Nothing's worse than a summer cold...

In his second stint with the Twins this season, Alexi Casilla hit just .222/.276/.296. It's a real shame.
Joe Crede has collected hits in five of his last six games, but is still hitting a paltry .206/.275/.353 in June.
Even after a two-hit afternoon yesterday, Joe Mauer is still hitting just .409 this month.
Carlos Gomez is sitting right on the Mendoza line so far this month.
Jesse Crain makes me cry.

Like NBA Jam used to say, HE'S HEATING UP!!!

Delmon Young is riding a moderate seven-game hitting streak, hitting .370/.370/.407. Just one extra-base hit in that stretch, but right now I'll take any positives from Delmon that I can get.
The last game Brendan Harris appeared in and didn't reach base? May 24. In the interceeding 17 games, he's hitting .358/.400/.493.
Mike Redmond's been much more like the Mike Redmond we all know in love since April expired, and is hitting .308/.357/.385 since May 1.
The last game Joe Mauer appeared in and didn't reach base? May 7.
Running on a streak of five consecutive quality starts, Nick Blackburn has posted a 1.80 ERA in that stretch.
R.A. Dickey has allowed two earned runs in his last 21 innings.
Matt Guerrier hasn't allowed a run in 10 appearances, going back to May 23.
Since May 10, Jose Mijares has allowed just two earned runs.
Joe Nathan has a scoreless streak running 10 appearances.
Francisco Liriano and Scott Baker have each posted ERAs of 3.00 over their last two starts. Considering how they've started the year, this is a drastic and welcome improvement.
