by lightfoot789 on 04-27-2013 at 09:56 PM
Josh Burris last game experience involved a game tying HR in the bottom of the 9th and an extra inning Walk Off Grand Slam (Elizabethton 2012 Championship Game). In his first game of the 2013 season - Burris experiences a game with a crazy and similar ending.

Twins Minor League Spring Training Schedule
by lightfoot789 on 03-11-2013 at 02:39 PM
How do they function? Do they decide if they are playing randomly verse other teams? How do fans get to plan for seeing minor league games? Don't games start this week? How far will I have to travel if going to away games? etc. etc.?
Why so late when other teams are having their games posted?

by lightfoot789 on 02-27-2013 at 06:28 PM
Does anybody know when the minor league spring training schedule is released? I was hoping to come down to Ft. Myers and see some of the lower prospects play. I can't plan my days if I don't know thier schedules? Best week with most home games, etc.?
