Diamond goes 7 w/ 4 earned runs (inc. 3 solo homers). Twins light Floyd the Barber up for a 7-5 win.

Besides 3 homers I agree with you.

I'll say the Twins hit 2 homers. Not sure from who. Arcia 2-3 with a double and a walk.

The Twins have been undefeated since last Sunday! Let's keep it up!

Alright... My schedule is clear... Weather is OK in Chicago... A couch... A baseball game and I'm making Buffalo Wings for supper after the game.

 

Its gonna be a good day.

My wife is at a book fair all day and the dog is ready to pick up brunch sometime around the third inning.

I am getting the Sox feed and they were talking about being happy that Span and Revere are gone.

Nice first inning by Diamond. He looks relaxed and ready to go all day.

Let's get something off Floyd now.

Great inning by Twins hitters there.

Ok... Let's get something off of Floyd eventually.

I am blaming my dog for last inning.

They don't do anything until the 7th.

Adam Dunn, now 0 for his last 30 and batting .097. 23 Ks and 3 BBs in 61 ABs. OPS? .367

 

He makes up for it with his defense, anyway.

and Diamond's ERA drops from 8.3 to 6 with two scoreless innings. Ah, Spring.

Adam Dunn, now 0 for his last 30 and batting .097. 23 Ks and 3 BBs in 61 ABs. OPS? .367

And the White Sox paid how much?

Yes, as a DH he is an elite defender.

How many times this year has Bert mentioned how starters don't pitch as long into games than he did? It's nauseating.

Diamond looking very sharp today. Really executing his pitches.

Arcia appears to need some work on laying off the breaking balls in the dirt.

Why would anyone walk Hicks?

Yes, as a DH he is an elite defender.

 

I think he was in consideration for a Gold Glove last year at the DH position. A lot of guys just go through the motions at the position, but Dunn is always alert for foul balls while on the bench.

 

He's on the third year of a 4/$56 million deal.

Hit and run... Good call... Try it agin.

56 million doesn't get you much.

So far this year Hicks is using the bat primarily as a fashion accessory. His OBP is more than 4x his BA. I can't imagine that happens very often once a guy plays more than a few games.

Bruno is working hard with him.

I hope Hicks breaks out of it- it's impressive that he can keep taking walks. I'm sure it's tempting to swing like crazy and hope to at least make contact instead of taking a called strike three.

He's a "two of three true outcomes" kinda guy.

Hawk: "10-12 years ago if the Twins had spent any money they could have won three or four championships."

 

Stone: "No doubt."
