What are the chances Baker starts the season on the DL?
It looks like the chances are pretty good right now...
Anyone notice that Span is slowing down his early torrid pace, now down to .300?
Actually giving up 10 RBI games, 9th inning HRs, and letting a slightly better than average player look like Willie Mays for the last 3 years is about as rediculous as it gets...How about the pitching staff try something different for a change...Zobrist is way too comfortable at the plate and that's an undisputed fact.. Looks like the bloggers are as Minnesota Nice as our fantastic starting rotation..
How has Morneau done today?

I agree w/Jack on this point. Twins do not pitch inside enough. Too many guys dig in and let it rip, because the Twins are known for getting the ball over the plate.
1-3 for Morneau, doubled Mauer to 3rd with 1 out in the fifth.
Thanks for the update! My work is remarkably adept at keeping us off of all the websites where I could get that information . . . .Quote:

Hollimon got thrown out at the place on the Doumit Sac Fly, running for Morneau. (according to game day)
Hendriks has gone a couple innings.
Burroughs PH and got HBP.
So I guess it IS ok to hit someone in spring training :cool:
Manship relieved Baker with 2 outs in the third inning and looked good for 1 and 1/3 innings.
Just a note about civil discourse - I've deleted three posts in this thread. I'v also sent private message explaining why to the members.
1. If you want to criticize someone, keep it on topic. If you want to say it is idiotic to not coach pitching inside and occasionally plunk a batter, that's fine. If you're just calling some guy a fat idiot or craphole, that's off limits.
2. You can't go after other members because you disagree with their opinions. You can go after their opinions - you can't go after them.
I don't want to ban anyone for any period of time. This community tries to respect varying opinions, no matter how crassly people choose to express them. But I've put too much into this site to let inflamatory disrespectful rhetoric become the norm or even acceptable on this site. If that means banning people, that's what will happen.
Please, play nice. We're all on the same team.
Hendriks 3IP H/3BB/K 1 GIDP
Unfotunately, I can't get a box score here. It sounds like Baker was bad (and on the radio they said his velocity topped out in teh 86-88 range.) Then Manship got through the fourth. Then, did Hendricks come in? That would be a little weird.
Can someone tell me Manship's stats? Any Ks?
