This blog is just going to be more ramblings on the Twins.
In 2012 Scott Diamond was easily the Twins best pitcher. Though his record was just 12-9, his ERA was 3.54. Last year injuries derailed him. Yesterday the Twins placed him on waivers.
That's how fast your hopes and dreams can leave in baseball.
Let's not forget that Vance Worley was our "ace" and opening game starter LAST season. He wasn't even worth pocket change in LESS than a year.
Mauer cost the Twins the game yesterday. With two outs and the bases loaded he bobbled a ball that let two runs score. We lost 2-1.
Oswaldo Arcia hit a homerun for the Twins only run. Do you know how many homeruns the current roster has hit in spring training? Seven. The WHOLE Twins roster, featuring guys like Mauer, and Plouffe, and Willingham, and Hicks, and Arcia against what often is Triple A pitching, for the whole spring, over 20 games, has hit just SEVEN homeruns. Less than one every three games.
And if you notice the box scores of every game, you'll see a lot more errors this year as well. Mauer's was not unusual yesterday.
I think I'll stop here.
