Thinking of his triple...
That also reminds me of the time he was thrown out at first on a line drive to right field. Still love Red-dog. Even if that did just happen last year, while he wasn’t even on our team.

Our best 3 players missed half of spring training, it's 9 games into the season.
I think we will be fine.
Cuddy
Should’ve been given an error yesterday

Agreed
Cuddy is not a 2B in anything other than an emergency. Not sure what planet Gardy occupies, but there must be ambulances everywhere, and sirens, and blaring warning signals…
by Old Twins Cap on Apr 11, 2011 10:06 PM EDT up reply actions
I think
The Emergency was “Stop Trevor Plouffe from coming to the Big Leagues.” Gardy had to convince Bill Smith that he was ok without Trevor.
Ouch!

I enjoyed this, but on the bright side:
Dice-Ks on the Twins: 0
Dice-K games pitched in which Tim Wakefield had to come in in long relief to start the 3rd: 0
After 10 games
He projects to have 32+ dimples by October.

The worst that I found (not listed above)
Hits Twins – 63
Runs Scored Pale Hose – 63
and
Our current SLG% .288 puts us behind 3 other MLB teams’ batting avg.
Good thing it is a long season, not sure how we have been able to pull off 3 wins already with how poor the hitting has been up to this point.
Do I get credit for reverse-jinxing Cuddyer?
Also, Hughes now has more games finished than Nathan and is tied for the team lead in wins.

Teams who've started a second basemen as obviously inadequate defensively as Michael Cuddyer...?
