JESSE CRAIN RUMORS & GOSSIP

Holy Bruise Jesse Crain

This is disturbing. Check out what happened to Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Jesse Crain, after he was tattooed in the back by a Adrian Gonzalez line drive. Dear lord, that ball was smoked. Check out the LITTLE mark it left on Crain’s back. Holy ****...what the hell are all those lines...wow. That is awful…dear lord. Big ups to Crain for making the play after getting...

Adrian Gonzalez Line Drive Gives White Sox Pitcher Jesse Crain Nasty Bruise (Photo)

Adrian Gonzalez has been clobbering the ball for the Red Sox this season, and White Sox reliever Jesse Crain can personally attest to just how hard Gonzalez can hit. Crain took a line drive off the back from Gonzalez in the eighth inning of Chicago's 7-3 win on May 30. He managed to corall the ball and throw Gonzalez out at first, but the pain forced him to leave the game. The...

Crain Inks Deal with Chi-Sox

CHICAGO — The already wounded bullpen of the Minnesota Twins took another punch to the gut with the latest news that reliever Jesse Crain has signed a deal with the Chicago White Sox. The Twins lost reliever Matt Guerrier to the Dodgers early today which made keeping Crain seem like a priority. The deal the Sox gave Crain is reportedly worth around $13 million over the next three...

Twins falter again in loss to Blue Jays with two games to go

So, the Minnesota Twins lost again last night to the Toronto Blue Jays 6-3. Jesse Crain was the latest pitcher to falter after a good start by Carl Pavano; Crain earned the loss last night, and he deserved it. Crain has been lights out for the Twins bullpen the second half of this season, but gave up a three-run homer in the eighth inning last night. Ugh. But at least it wasn’t...

Which reliever should the Twins resign: Crain or Guerrier?

The Minnesota Twins have a decision on their hands (probably): keep Matt Guerrier or Jesse Crain? Both Guerrier and Crain, who have been the stalwart relievers in the Twins bullpen, are eligible for free agency next year, and there’s no reason to think they won’t command a lot more money than they make now. So, who will the Twin choose: Crain or Guerrier? Which reliever should...

Crain no longer in a rush

Things have certainly turned around for Jesse Crain over the past two months. Crain said that something finally clicked for him during a bullpen session when Twins closer Jon Rauch told him that he was rushing toward home plate.

The Outlier Jesse Crain?

Jesse Crain is a bit of an enigma. He’s been frustratingly inconsistent since returning from shoulder surgery in 2008: brilliant in one appearance, then essentially throwing batting practice in the next.  Disastrous appearances like the on April 18 against Kansas City, in which he surrendered a three-run homer to Alberto Callaspo, have earned him [...]

Back on the Crain gang.

On Thursday night Jesse Crain faced four batters. After allowing Hideki Matsui to reach on a single he then proceeded to strike out Kendry Morales, Juan Rivera and Howie Kendrick on three sliders that were so indescribably nasty, it was something that even the guys from Jersey Shore wouldn't sleep with. Since a demotion to Rochester mid-season last year, Crain has re-established...

Arbitration Agreements: Pitchers

And we’re back! Like I said when reviewing the hitters, I’m glad we got all this nonsense done today and didn’t have to go to any hearings. Jesse Crain Crain got roughly 2 million from the Twins. His walk rate climbed to 4.70/9, which is very steep, but he did improve as the season went along. I [...]
