PrintKansas City Royals at Minnesota Twins, Apr 12, 2011 8:10 PM EDT
TV: FSN
Radio: Twins Radio Network
Entering the third week of the season, the AL Central standings are pretty much the opposite of most predictions, as Kansas City Royals sit in second place, just behind the red hot, division leading Cleveland Indians. Hopefully, tonight's first crack at a division opponent will reverse what has been a relatively ugly start to the Twins 2011 season. The offense, in particular, needs to wake up, as the Twins have scored only 24 runs over nine games, by far the fewest in Major League Baseball. Look no further than an almost total power outage, as the Twins .288 slugging percentage is also lowest in baseball, and no one is even close (Seattle is next lowest at .327). Throw in the lowest walk rate in all of baseball (6.0%), and 11 double plays (very high considering how few have reached base) and you end up lucky to have three wins so far.
Brian Duensing makes his second start of the season for the Twins. In his first start, in New York, Duensing got into trouble early, giving up four runs off two home runs in the first two innings. But he settled down afterwards, ultimately striking out six Yankees over seven innings to allow the Twins to come back against Rafael Soriano later in the game. Over his career, Duensing is 4-0 with a 3.33 ERA against the Royals. He'll be looking to slow down a Royals team that is averaging 5.4 runs per game.
I sure hope Jeff Francis is in the middle of throwing a pitch in the picture above. Somehow, Francis is making his third start of the season already, as the Royals have skipped their fifth starter both times through the rotation. It's a small sample size, but so far this season Francis has generally kept runners off the bases (1.10 WHIP), and very few who have reached have come around to score (very high 98.4% strand rate). He's left handed, so there's a decent chance the Twins make him look like Cy Young out there tonight.

Twins vs Royals
I wonder why the Twins threw their fielding away? I wonder why the Twins changed their batting style to look like Nick Punto’s style at the plate? I wonder if after a day off they decided to go back to the way they played last year?
Batting style to Punto
Would result in several head first slides into first base (Which is incredibly fun even though it’s quite painful!)

In all fairness,
Nick Punto has been a far better hitter in his career than the Twins have been this season so far.
(Although I’d be more than ready for them to start changing that tonight.)
I'm at the game! Left field bleachers...
This place is just as beautiful as last year.
Have fun!
I can’t wait to see it next week (23rd)! I think my pen pal is going to hate me for my entire email talking about baseball and how excited I am to get to go to Target Field

You will likely get to go to college in North Dakota.
Just so your parents know you are going to the cities or home.
Do they have
any colleges with good softball/basketball teams? (I want to play in college if possible) But My parents restricted my choices to somewhere in a state the has a border with MN :/

It is an error in principle

Did he figure the throw was going home?
I think we lost a run on a play like that last year. 3rd out occured before the runner crossed the plate
So I walked around the first level!
Notes: found beeeeerrrrr! Blue moon! One spot in the whole park that sells Blue Moon!
Plus I found the tacos – señor smokes. Definitely a pass, I think! They are served cold, in a cone of taco stuff, with a bit of so-so sauce. Very mediocre. Would not eat again, and I love El Burrito Mercado!
No doubt
That sucks they are served cold? WTH?

What happened
is that the ump judged it as a hit and the ball appeared to bounce off the foot. I am guessing that Morneau made contact before the ball hit his foot.
Is that Escobar kid
projected to be worth the Grienke leaving?

"Brian Cardinal left Purdue being the only Boilermaker to receive both the "Mr. Hustle" Award and the "Courage" Award four years in a row"
He hit very poorly last year.
Didn’t show much improvement throughout the year. He’s fast and has some range at SS, but he makes terrible mental mistakes.
FREE AIRWOLF!
ROHLFING!!!!!
So pretty much
Carlos Gomez at shortstop?
"Brian Cardinal left Purdue being the only Boilermaker to receive both the "Mr. Hustle" Award and the "Courage" Award four years in a row"

I guess hopefully he hits for average and draws more walks / gets on base then Gogo
"Brian Cardinal left Purdue being the only Boilermaker to receive both the "Mr. Hustle" Award and the "Courage" Award four years in a row"
I see alot of the Brewers, since I go to school in Wisco,
What I’ve seen and especially after a full year in the majors he seems like a bust. He’s going to be speedy, good glove when he matures, but a light hitter for his career.
FREE AIRWOLF!
ROHLFING!!!!!
this escobar?
His MILB numbers are solid but they certainly don’t look “can’t miss”. If he’s the top SS prospect then it must not be a great year for SS’s.
.298/.353/.409 in AAA is nice but doesn't make me pee in my pants or anything
Maybe it was the Nomar prospect retro that Sickels posted a coupla days ago which has my bar a bit high.
I’d like to have him in our system, but he doesn’t look like a perenial all star by any means.
235/.288/.326 triple slash for a whole year in the MLB doesn't inspire a ton of confidence.
FREE AIRWOLF!
ROHLFING!!!!!
Yeah, I'm not disagreeing by any means
It was just asked about him so I was saying, I don’t think he’s the next Jose Reyes or anything.
Not Alexi?
hahah i kid. Well at least the royals got some return.

Well this inning is an improvement.
Of all the weird things, I’m in a hotel ballroom in Shanghai sitting next to a big Nat’s fan who’s watching MLB Live and rubbing it in about Ramos and Livan Hernandez and pretending to sympathize about the Twins and Capps etc. So an inning like this helps a lot.
1 run... 2 runs... lets hope this continues...
even better if the series is geometric instead of arithmetic!
Even better

It can happen by mistake
I’m not fully awake when scrounging for socks.
It depends on the shoes how bad it gets. I have a pair that breathes well and it wouldn’t be so bad. Leather shoes don’t breathe so rerun socks would be awful in those.
Socks are so dirt cheap though. There’s really no excuse for not having twice as many socks as you have other clothes. I’d never “run out” of socks.
how much older than the players would you need to be

Being from Minnesota, it would be rude to put something clever here.
ThAT WAS A JOKE
I think after this year changes are needed again, tweaks and what not this has to be fixed to some degree
Kubel launched one like 500 feet and somehow it almost ended up in Francour’s glove coming straight down and backwards onto the right-field warning track

Line drive base hit to right center
Didn’t need to be much with the OF playing in; wouldn’t have mattered even at normal depth still a hit

Needed that.
Now get ’em tomorrow too.

The guy just got a game winning hit, don't hurt him
The only stat that counts is W

Well 3-6, 4-6 normally wouldn't have me worried.
But the offense has been piss poor this year. Nice to see some offense tonight, even if it is a ton of singles.
FREE AIRWOLF!
ROHLFING!!!!!

Next time you are in Target Field, and you are up in section 334, right in front of the stairs, the fencing has a dent in it. That dent was made from my ass when me and my buddy were celebrating Danny V’s walk off single.
