Actually, Ortiz was traded to Minnesota when he was 20. By the time his age 25 season ended, he had played parts of five seasons with the Twins, accumulating about 1200 PAs.

yea, meant more that he was trying to find where he fit with the twins (and their salary structure at the time)

After 3 it's a nice relief to see Carrasco revived (so far).

Yep. Throwing 95 mph at 75 pitches is much better than recent outings (I think).

Sounds like his issue was a bit mechanical with his arm angle .. also getting ahead and attacking hitters so his secondary stuff played up. Willis said his arm looked better but still looked a bit off earlier before settling in. 54/85 = 63% strike. Few line drives to OF early on but weaker hits popups later.

What an encouraging outing by Cookie! That said, hope we have a quick hook in 7th...keeping it positive!
would like to have seen Luplow in there again today...flopping him and Domingo in and out probably helps neither.

 

[CATS44]

Yes. Cookies velo is back to normal.

And we have something going as the first two walk in the seventh.

 

[LL3]

Sandy being aggressive on 3-1, taking off the bunt, but Allen was not our huckleberry in that situation.

 

[CATS44]

Meanwhile, the Twins are getting stomped in the first game of their doubleheader with Detroit

 

[xmasbuck]

bad offensive baseball in the top of the 7th - still 1-0 as we go to the bottom of the 7th

 

[DCTribefan]

Leave it to the Tribe “offense” to make nothing out of something.

WTH
We used to be an intelligent base running team.

 

[CBBI]

Am I crazy, or does Alomar low key seems like a bit of a disaster from a tactical perspective?

 

[LL3]

Not disappointed to see Karinchak(yeah, yeah, lead off walk)...well done Carlos!

Lots of sad plays/choices over the few days...DeShields with a terrible jump.

Little bit. I have my doubts that Tito comes back this season.
