Pregame Good thing Cleveland is the best team in the AL Central right about now, huh? Anyway, this afternoon could belong to Glen Perkins if he's able to come through. A win tonight would guarantee that no matter what happens tomorrow, there's no way the White Sox win the division outright. It's one step at a time, and today's step is simple: JUST WIN. For Perkins, they key today is to do exactlly...

We can assume that the Twins would’ve opened the season with a rotation of Johan Santana, Scott Baker, Kevin Slowey, Boof Bonser and Livan Hernandez. Let’s run with this idea. This season for the Twins, Glen Perkins replaced Scott Baker in the rotation on May 10, because Baker had gotten injured. Perkins has remained in the rotation since. Then, when Baker returned to the rotation, he replaced Boof...

Okay, right, he got shelled. But how? The simple answer is that Glen Perkins couldn't hit the strikezone with his changeup or breaking ball, but then again he only threw seven of those pitches. He threw 29 fastballs, and 18 of those actually were strikes...which isn't a bad percentage. What happens when a pitcher can't throw anything but his 90-mph fastball for strikes is simple: when the hitters...

Has anyone else noticed the resemblance between Minnesota’s starter for Game 2 of today’s doubleheader in Baltimore, Glen Perkins and Superbad star Jonah Hill? Perkins is tied with Kevin Slowey for the team lead in wins with 12, but has an ERA of 9.00 after his lone start against the O’s this season lasted just four [...]

Chris Lambert (0-1, 6.75) vs. Glen Perkins (12-3, 4.08) Can the Tigers actually get themselves a series win at the Metrodome? A win today will accomplish exactly that, while helping to stick a twig between the spokes of the bicycle wheel that is the Twins' playoff chances. (Geez - that was a long way to swim for a metaphor.) That's more exciting than watching the Lions' season opener, isn't it? (No,...

Pregame With Glen Perkins taking the hill to give the Twins a shot at winning the series, his success depends on how well the Tiger hitters see what he has to offer. Hitters will be putting the ball in play, meaning his success (and therefore the team's shot at winning) greatly depends on how much his defense is able to pick him up. Lazy fly balls and easy grounders can still be dangerous when the...

For those of you that got the Trailer Park Boys reference — we salute you. In other news, here we go again. Glen Perkins hadn’t dropped a decision since July 23rd but got lit up for 2 homers, 6 runs and 10 hits over just five innings. Boof Bonser then came in and gave up [...]

Pregame In Glen Perkins ' last four starts he's logged 29 innings, including six quality starts in his last 10 and 12 total on the season. Just like every other starter in the rotation, he boasts a sub-4.00 ERA, and whether he's actually pitching as well as that implies or not that's a pretty astounding feat. The perma-optimist that I am, he hasn't been hit as hard in recent starts, and if he can...

The Jays added six players to their roster today. Brad Wilkerson and Kevin Mench; Shaun Marcum, Scott Richmond and Brian Wolfe; and Curtis Thigpen. David Purcey takes on the Twins tonight, facing Glen Perkins, he of the sub-4 ERA. I don't see Wilkerson or Mench getting much playing time. Cito is going to make sure Lind and Snider get their at-bats and Wells and Rios don't need much rest. Mench might...

Glen Perkins has played a big part in the second-half resurgence of the Minnesota Twins. Now the rookie pitcher will be asked to play the role of stopper when his team wraps up a three-game series with the Seattle Mariners this afternoon at Safeco Field.

Glen Perkins is a Minnesota guy, born in St. Paul. He went to the University of Minnesota, and earned a spot in the first round of the 2004 draft, 22nd overall. Other teams saw him as a late first-rounder as well, so this wasn't a nepotism pick by the Twins,although the local connection certainly didn't hurt. He posted a 1.49 ERA with a 71/16 K/BB in his first 60 pro innings, showing that his 90 MPH...
