Random Minnesota Twins Facts

Once in awhile I have random Minnesota Twins facts that I want to share, but I don’t really feel like putting them into a true blog post. I really just want to spew them out. So here are the latest random Minnesota Twins facts that I just can’t keep under my hat (my baseball hat, of course).

Alexi Casilla has either scored a run or driven in a run in 25 of his 35 games played this season.

Michael Cuddyer’s wife, Claudia, gave birth to the couple’s first child Friday June 20th…Casey Jonathan Cuddyer was born at 3:23 pm at Fairview Southdale Hospital and he weighed in at 7 pounds, 8 ounces and is 20 inches long. Born on the first day of summer, kind of gives a new meaning to “the boys of summer” doesn’t it?

Livan Hernandez home record this season: 6-0.

Brendan Harris finished theTwins last homestand with eight hits in 19 at-bats (.421) with four doubles, a triple, six runs scored and two runs batted in. wow.

Gardenhire Gets Thrown out of Brewers Game

The out come of Sunday's Twins Brewers game shocked many game viewers including head manager Ron Gardenhire. Gardenhire was so shocked, his feelings threw him out of the game by the 8th inning. I am sure most Twins fans saw this clip on the local news (I was surprised I didn't see it on SportsCenter) when Brendan Harris was up to bat and the Twins were down by one run. Harris batted two outs and felt as if he was given no time to prepare. Harris asked the umpire for more time, but no answer was given. To make a long story short Guillermo Mota, the Brewers pitcher, pitches to Harris while he wasn't looking and Harris strikes out. It was crazy. Like many Minnesota Twins fans, Ron Gardenhire wonders if the Twins could have won the game if the umpire would have granted Harris more time. Gardenhire is probably right and the Twins could have won. I am guessing that ump won't be making the Gardy Christmas Card list. Better luck next time Twinkies.
