Minnesota Twins II: First Time Ever I Saw Your Place

If the regular season ended today, the Yankees and Twins would meet in the Division Series for the second year in a row and fourth time in the last eight years. This week’s three game set in Minneapolis, the Yankees’ first visit to the new Target Field, will conclude the season series between the two teams, but there’s a very good chance that they will meet again come October.

The Yankees took two of three from the Twins in the Bronx the weekend before last, but have gone 2-5 against the Red Sox, Rays, and Mets since. The Twins have gone 3-4, splitting a two-game set with the Blue Jays, dropping two games in Boston, then returning home to take two of three from the Brewers. The Twins scored 31 runs in the three wins, but just nine runs in the four losses.

Target Field has been a happy home for the Twinks thus far as they are 14-7 (.667) at home against just 12-11 on the road. Here are the runs-scored splits for the Twins and their opponents at and away from Target Field:

@MIN: Twins 5.43 R/G; Opp 3.67 R/G; total: 9.10 R/G
Road: Twins 4.60 R/G; Opp 4.39 R/G; total: 8.99 R/G

Baseball-Reference’s park factors list Target Field as a slight hitter’s park (103/102). The total runs per game numbers above, which lack any adjustment for strength of opposition or road park factors, seem to agree with that.

The only change the Twins have made since the Yankees last saw them is that they called up Trevor Plouffe and installed him at shortstop. Plouffe was the Twins’ first round pick in 2004, but he isn’t a great defender and has hit just .259/.321/.391 in the minors. He’s simply a place-holder for the injured J.J. Hardy (wrist), who could return during this series.

Tonight A.J. Burnett, who has pitched poorly in two of his last three starts, the exception being a quality start against the Twins in which he walked four and got a no-decision, goes up against Scott Baker. Baker was the losing pitcher in that game against Burnett despite striking out nine Yankees in six innings against just one walk.

Baker actually left that game with a 4-3 lead in the seventh, but he bequeathed a couple of runners to his bullpen, both of whom scored on Alex Rodriguez’s grand slam off Matt Guerrier later that inning. That game, with those two runners added to Baker’s tally, was the only one of his four starts in May in which he allowed more than three runs. On the month, he has averaged more than 6 2/3 innings per starts and has struck out 27 men in 27 innings against just four walks.

With Baker starting tonight, Francisco Liriano starting Wednesday, and Javy Vazquez testing out his bruised finger on Thursday, all in a ballpark that has been very friendly to its new tenants, the Yankees will be hard pressed to pull out of their current skid this week.

There's the Brett I know and love!
Fuck, 0-16!
Atta boy, Brett, just like that.

4 rbj   ~  May 25, 2010 8:13 pm

Yay Brett! End of a slump?

5 Diane Firstman   ~  May 25, 2010 8:14 pm

Boo Tex ... continuation of a slump!

ark, on the other hand, still mired.

7 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 25, 2010 8:14 pm

Sigh.
Please get it together, Teix.

8 OldYanksFan   ~  May 25, 2010 8:15 pm

Time to ask Teix for some money back.

9 rbj   ~  May 25, 2010 8:17 pm

[5] Heh.

10 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 25, 2010 8:20 pm

11 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 25, 2010 8:21 pm

That's two hard hit balls.

12 Diane Firstman   ~  May 25, 2010 8:27 pm

[10]

ark the former angel swings (and misses)?

13 RIYank   ~  May 25, 2010 8:27 pm

Oy. Everything's an ordeal these days.

14 RIYank   ~  May 25, 2010 8:30 pm

Diane, is Trevor Plouffe a LOVER OF PET FUR? Is he FOREVER POTFUL, or UP FOR LEFTOVER?

15 Diane Firstman   ~  May 25, 2010 8:31 pm

[14]

ROFL!!!!

16 Yankee Mama   ~  May 25, 2010 8:31 pm

Poor A-Rod, looks like it won't be easy to collect his 25,000,000 from the Rangers. Bankruptcy?

17 ms october   ~  May 25, 2010 8:33 pm

[14] all good - but my vote is lover of pet fur.

blah on the double plays.

18 RIYank   ~  May 25, 2010 8:33 pm

ARGH.
Two hits in two innings, and yet Baker has faced the minimum.

19 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 25, 2010 8:35 pm

[12] :)
Very nice.

20 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 25, 2010 8:36 pm

(Meanwhile, at least my kid's team is undefeated (with one tie)!)

21 RIYank   ~  May 25, 2010 8:40 pm

[20] Probably because of fundamentals, not trying to do too much, and, um, fundamentals.

22 Mr. OK Jazz TOKYO   ~  May 25, 2010 8:41 pm

Havn't seen WalMart Field yet..how is it looking?

And where is Nick Punto? Gardyhire going with the anti-gritty/spunky lineup today?

23 Mattpat11   ~  May 25, 2010 8:42 pm

Kay's voice gives me a headache

24 Yankee Mama   ~  May 25, 2010 8:43 pm

[22] Funny and funny.

25 RIYank   ~  May 25, 2010 8:44 pm

AHHHH. He walked Brendan Harris.
He walked Harris.

26 Mr. OK Jazz TOKYO   ~  May 25, 2010 8:47 pm

[24] No really, never seen "Target" Field on tv (never been inside a real Target, WalMart or BestBuy either but don't imagien am missing much..)

27 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 25, 2010 8:49 pm

[21] :)

28 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 25, 2010 8:50 pm

[26] Nah, just America.

29 RIYank   ~  May 25, 2010 8:50 pm

Wow, quite a blow-up in St. Pete.
The home plate umpire has been terrible, and Carl Crawford argued the first pitch of his at bat. Vociferously. And the tip of his helmet brim touched the ump, and Carl is gone. And so is Joe Madden. But man, they were going at it. I'm pretty sure the ump called Madden a "fucking ass".

30 Mattpat11   ~  May 25, 2010 8:50 pm

The Yankees are still pretending that Johnson is coming back?

31 Mr. OK Jazz TOKYO   ~  May 25, 2010 8:52 pm

[28] Hah..in that case, am truly not missing much then :) (except Jerry's pizza on East 14th & Ave J in Brooklyn..)

[29] Diktat from from Selig to get the Sox back in the race?

32 Diane Firstman   ~  May 25, 2010 8:53 pm

[29]

was the ump Joe West?

33 Yankee Mama   ~  May 25, 2010 8:53 pm

[26] First time for me tonight as well. I won't get started on the mega-store. I liked your Nick Punto barb.

34 OldYanksFan   ~  May 25, 2010 8:57 pm

May Baseball:
Jeter: .224 .290 .276 .566
Brett: .273 .354 .364 .718
Teix: .275 .353 .484 .837
ARod: .333 .415 .531 .946
Cano: .273 .333 .386 .719

Just by eyeball, it looks like these 5 average out to an OPS in the .750 neighborhood.

So yeah, our pitching has been flawed, but Cliff, I'm not sure how we can beat the teams we played in May with that king of offensive production.

I don't have numbers for just the last 15 games, but I know Teix was much better the first week of May then the above numbers.

Where are they now:
Matsui: .229 .302 .373 .675
Damon: .290 .393 .439 .832
AJax: .337 .393 .451 .844
Melky: .213 .299 .270 .570 (close to out of baseball?)
Tabata: .328 .385 .437 .821 (21 at AAA)

35 RIYank   ~  May 25, 2010 8:58 pm

[32] Ah, no. Bob Davidson.
Hm, if Bob Davidson called a game with Dave Robertson pitching, that would be confusing.

36 williamnyy23   ~  May 25, 2010 8:58 pm

I was hoping Gardner would have been back toward the end of the lineup tonight. I don't get the logic behind the move. Not only has Gardner's struggles left the Yankees with three low OBPs atop the lineup, but batting in front of Tex and Arod has pretty much negated Gardner's base stealing ability.

Gardner has had so many bad ABs in big spots (lowest WPA on the team during the 5-10 stretch), that it's possible that lineup decision alone has cost the Yankees a game or two.

37 Diane Firstman   ~  May 25, 2010 8:58 pm

Michael Kay busts Leiter with a particular meanness.

38 Mr. OK Jazz TOKYO   ~  May 25, 2010 8:59 pm

[33] :)
[34] Not re-sgining Damon & Matsui still hurts..Melky could be on his way to Japan..

39 rbj   ~  May 25, 2010 8:59 pm

Yay! End of Jeter slump?

40 NYYfan22   ~  May 25, 2010 8:59 pm

STEAL 2nd! No more GIDPs!

(hey everyone)

41 williamnyy23   ~  May 25, 2010 8:59 pm

[34] The numbers are even more stark during the current 5-10 stretch. Only Arod has really been productive.

42 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 25, 2010 9:00 pm

Who is Dave Eiland, btw?
I knew who Mel Stottlemeyer was and I knew who Ron Guidry was.
But who is this Eiland guy, really?

43 NYYfan22   ~  May 25, 2010 9:00 pm

close the roof! whoops.

44 williamnyy23   ~  May 25, 2010 9:01 pm

Looks like the Twins have the same behind the plate issue as the Yankees (fans in a fancy restaurant instead of their seats). I wonder if they've been criticized for it too?

45 rbj   ~  May 25, 2010 9:01 pm

Yeah, spend the big bucks for prime seats, then go inside to watch the game. Pansies. Get the weather report ahead of time & bring rain gear.

46 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 25, 2010 9:02 pm

Christ.
Meekly on one pitch.

47 cult of basebaal   ~  May 25, 2010 9:02 pm

Fuck. You. Teixeira.

Just awful, FUCKING awful.

48 Yankee Mama   ~  May 25, 2010 9:03 pm

Anemic comes to mind when I think of Teix.

49 williamnyy23   ~  May 25, 2010 9:03 pm

Why does everyone keep lumping Arod in with the others. Arod HAS stepped it up over the past 15 games.

50 rbj   ~  May 25, 2010 9:03 pm

Rally squirrel!

51 cult of basebaal   ~  May 25, 2010 9:04 pm

I knew who Mel Stottlemeyer was and I knew who Ron Guidry was.
But who is this Eiland guy, really?

Is this a joke?

52 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 25, 2010 9:04 pm

There's something very Monty Python about watching a squirrel frolic about the playing field.

53 Diane Firstman   ~  May 25, 2010 9:04 pm

Was that Homer Bushytail?

54 Mr. OK Jazz TOKYO   ~  May 25, 2010 9:04 pm

Gameday "on-field delay"...what happend?

55 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 25, 2010 9:05 pm

[51] No, it's actually not. Where'd he come from?

56 NYYfan22   ~  May 25, 2010 9:05 pm

[54] drunk squirrel running around on field. Cops tasered it. No biggie.

57 rbj   ~  May 25, 2010 9:06 pm

[54] Squirrel on field.

58 RIYank   ~  May 25, 2010 9:06 pm

If only Moose were pitching! Then I could say, "Boris, what are we going to do about Moose and squirrel?"

59 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 25, 2010 9:07 pm

[58] Hehheh. If only.

60 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 25, 2010 9:07 pm

Our "hitters" suck.

61 rbj   ~  May 25, 2010 9:08 pm

Unacceptable.

62 OldYanksFan   ~  May 25, 2010 9:08 pm

[56] Shit. PETA boycotting outside the sradium.

63 Mr. OK Jazz TOKYO   ~  May 25, 2010 9:08 pm

[58] Go to your room and don't come back until you are ready to apologize for that...

64 williamnyy23   ~  May 25, 2010 9:08 pm

How many blown scoring opportunties does Girardi have to see before he actually tries something?

65 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 25, 2010 9:08 pm

What's Frosty hitting with RISP this year?

66 OldYanksFan   ~  May 25, 2010 9:09 pm

Christ. This feels so much like May 2008.

67 OldYanksFan   ~  May 25, 2010 9:10 pm

[64] Like what? Pinch-hitting himself for Teix?

68 RIYank   ~  May 25, 2010 9:10 pm

[65] .304. Slugging .543.

69 OldYanksFan   ~  May 25, 2010 9:10 pm

Frankly, watching the squirrel is better TV then watching the Yankee ABs.

70 cult of basebaal   ~  May 25, 2010 9:11 pm

[55] Us.

71 williamnyy23   ~  May 25, 2010 9:11 pm

[67] Like hit and run with Jeter and Gardner in the first or third inning. Maybe have Jeter and Gardner try a double steal? In past games, squeeze with batters like Winn. Something to get a run or two on the board and relieve some of the pressure. That's the job of a manager.

72 OldYanksFan   ~  May 25, 2010 9:13 pm

Errr... who is Frosty?
ARod's 2010 RISP is .381 .473 .690 1.163

73 RIYank   ~  May 25, 2010 9:14 pm

[72] Frosty is Cano.

74 Yankee Mama   ~  May 25, 2010 9:14 pm

[5]] Wasn't Eiland the pitching coach at Scranton Wilkes-Barre? He was brought in to coddle the tres amigos back in the day.

75 OldYanksFan   ~  May 25, 2010 9:14 pm

[73] And he is Frosty because?

76 OldYanksFan   ~  May 25, 2010 9:15 pm

Well.... at least it ain't snowing in the 'Dome'.

77 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 25, 2010 9:16 pm

[68] Really? That's nice. Below his average but nice enough. He must have racked that up when he was hitting .404 'cause he doesn't seem to be any more consistent than last year. But maybe my lying eyes have been lying.

78 cult of basebaal   ~  May 25, 2010 9:16 pm

[74] Yes, he's also an ex-Yankee and ex-Yankees prospect. Limited MLB career; pitchability over stuff kinda fellow.

79 Yankee Mama   ~  May 25, 2010 9:17 pm

[73] Why is Cano called Frosty?

80 NYYfan22   ~  May 25, 2010 9:17 pm

I'm so sick of these LOB numbers. I mean, if ya win, then so what. But in the last 10 games, here's the Yankee LOB numbers: 9,13,8, 5, 11, 12, 6, 9, 7, 6 (bold = win). That's f'n horrible!

81 cult of basebaal   ~  May 25, 2010 9:18 pm

[78] He's only been our pitching coach since Guidry left with Torre. "Who" seems an question rather late (and clueless) to the game ...

82 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 25, 2010 9:19 pm

[75] First game of the ALCS, I think? When it was like 34 degrees in the Bronx and he played wearing an arctic-grade ski mask. Ms. O. (I believe it was) dubbed him Frosty.

83 Mattpat11   ~  May 25, 2010 9:21 pm

I really like Span

85 Yankee Mama   ~  May 25, 2010 9:21 pm

I remember that game with the ski mask.

Brains pulling a pitch that should have gone the other way?

87 rbj   ~  May 25, 2010 9:22 pm

[84] They both have an "A" in their first name, and an "I" in their last name.

88 NYYfan22   ~  May 25, 2010 9:22 pm

[84] they both do a lot of animal-based charity work?

89 OldYanksFan   ~  May 25, 2010 9:23 pm

[84] A penis? (Can Leiter see Russia from his front door?)

90 RIYank   ~  May 25, 2010 9:25 pm

[84] Is it serious, or a joke?

91 Mattpat11   ~  May 25, 2010 9:25 pm

As far as corporate names go, Target Field isn't so bad

92 cult of basebaal   ~  May 25, 2010 9:25 pm

"Frosty"?!?!?! Fuck no, Robbie is either "Ripper"(when he's HOT) or "Rotten Robbie" (when he's COLD) to me ...
"Ace"?!?!?? Christ, how reCOCKulously dull and unimaginative! Aceves is "The Vulture" to me (let's all agree to leave "The Mexican Gangsta" in the ditch where it should be) ...
"Swish"?!?!?!? Again, what remarkably impressive creativity! Bugger that! Nick's earned the right to be called "The Stick" by me ...

[96] I tell ya what.. Great American Ballpark is an awesome ballpark, too. Beautiful! Only weird thing about it is that your view is of the Kentucky hills instead of the city skyline. (but plate, sunset, shadows, etc.)

103 cult of basebaal   ~  May 25, 2010 9:30 pm

[98] Technically, Gene Michael was just known as "Stick", the nickname being a reference to his skinny frame ... which frankly, is fine, being several orders of magnitude more interesting than almost ANY nickname being offered up today ...

104 Mr. OK Jazz TOKYO   ~  May 25, 2010 9:31 pm

But isn't he from NY? Or Jersey??

121 NYYfan22   ~  May 25, 2010 9:43 pm

I watched Fargo 2 nights ago for the first time. Minneapolis! Yeah? Yeaah... Yeah? Yer dern tootin'!

122 NYYfan22   ~  May 25, 2010 9:43 pm

Again.. Russ Saltzberg = Chris Russo in a fat suit.

123 cult of basebaal   ~  May 25, 2010 9:44 pm

[121] Fargo 2!?!?!?!? I ain't seen that before!

124 NYYfan22   ~  May 25, 2010 9:45 pm

[123] uhhhh...

125 Mr. OK Jazz TOKYO   ~  May 25, 2010 9:45 pm

[121] William Macy was beyond awesome in Fargo..should have walked away with all the acting awards. Greatest loser in American film history? Along with Rupert Pupkin (my favorite)?

126 RagingTartabull   ~  May 25, 2010 9:45 pm

[121] aww jeez

screw this I'm putting on The Hills...go ahead, judge me.

127 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 25, 2010 9:47 pm

[121] Heheh. Love that film. Everyone's perfect: Buscemi, McDormand, Macy...
Such a delicious film.

128 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 25, 2010 9:48 pm

[125] He really was. Pitch perfect.

129 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 25, 2010 9:49 pm

Meanwhile, anyone seen "Big Fan?" Something just reminded me of it twenty minutes ago and I went to neflix on the off chance it's available to watch instantly and lo and behold!

130 Mattpat11   ~  May 25, 2010 9:49 pm

[122] I take back what I said about Kay.

This man's voice gives me a migraine

131 cult of basebaal   ~  May 25, 2010 9:51 pm

[129] Big Fan + instant view = WIN!

132 weeping for brunnhilde   ~  May 25, 2010 9:53 pm

[131] :)

133 RagingTartabull   ~  May 25, 2010 9:53 pm

[129] yeah I watched it instantly when I was home sick one day, good movie.

so does anyone watch Treme?

134 Just Fair   ~  May 25, 2010 9:55 pm

[129] Good movie
[133] For sure. Missed the most recent due to travel. Liked all the others. Great music.

135 NYYfan22   ~  May 25, 2010 9:59 pm

[129] sweet! I'll watch it soon.

[133] Looooove Treme. I'm a musician... there's some really great cats on that show!

136 Mattpat11   ~  May 25, 2010 9:59 pm

I'd never heard Bob mocking the screamers.

That was awesome

137 NYYfan22   ~  May 25, 2010 10:01 pm

[136] you referring to the "Judas!" incident?

138 rbj   ~  May 25, 2010 10:02 pm

[126] The Hills? Oh, you will be judged.

But I still enjoy reruns of Sabrina the Teenaged Witch. So yeah, we all have our guilty pleasures.

G'night all.

139 Just Fair   ~  May 25, 2010 10:05 pm

[138] I like to tease my wife that she looks like "Clarissa Tells All." It drives her nuts. : )

140 Mr. OK Jazz TOKYO   ~  May 25, 2010 10:05 pm

Red Sox no longer stink..Yanks had better be careful..

141 NYYfan22   ~  May 25, 2010 10:05 pm

someone please shout when the game is back on. We're watching some DVR catchups.

142 Diane Firstman   ~  May 25, 2010 10:12 pm

I've got a Neil Peart DVD ready to view ...

143 Mattpat11   ~  May 25, 2010 10:14 pm

No, Michael Kay, I will not enjoy an edition of the Wendy Williams Show

144 cult of basebaal   ~  May 25, 2010 10:24 pm

ARE WE THERE YET?!?!?!?!?

145 thelarmis   ~  May 25, 2010 10:25 pm

well, i thank the yanks for pausing the game - waiting for me to get home from pracketing, so i can follow the 2nd half.

looks like we had good AJ going there. too bad he won't be able to continue, but it might be a blessing in disguise as we obviously couldn't get anything going against baker.

[142] which one?

[143] Wendy O. Williams would be a lot more enjoyable! ; )

146 NYYfan22   ~  May 25, 2010 11:00 pm

Game's been suspended.

147 thelarmis   ~  May 25, 2010 11:00 pm

148 cult of basebaal   ~  May 25, 2010 11:08 pm

Fucking Fucking Fuck.

Fuck.

149 thelarmis   ~  May 25, 2010 11:14 pm
