!

He throws lefty, he has a pulse, he's not on the 40-man, he had racked up 0.1 spring innings prior to this game. I can't get too worked up.

[ashbury]

Here's one for Halsey to get worked up over: Plouffe is listed as shortstop for the 9th inning.

 

/ Oops, misread the gameday line: Plouffe at first base came out when Bernier came in at short.

OK, I got a little worked up about him in the ninth inning.

 

Now pitching, and failing to improve on the mess Ledezma laid, is D. J. Johnson. Daniel Stuart Johnson. Pitched at Fort Myers last year after being picked up from the Frontier League. I guess this really is a split squad game after all.

Once the minor start coming in, the game is over.  Twins won already, this is just tag on.

[Halsey Hall]

Should of let Poof pitch!

I'll go with that. Especially since Boston scored 3 in the 9th.

Halsey reads --> Head explodes.

 

Please, ABJ, check your facts before making Halsey's head explode.

I agree, nothing but garbage time.

[teekz]

And now the game is tied.

I want that denim outfit...

Tied after 9. Do they play a tenth, or does Molitor send a written note to Farrell, "look, I had freekin' D. J. Johnson in there for the last inning, I got plenty more where that came from but do you really want any of it?"

[Halsey Hall]

Ran out of arms, it's ova!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I'll go with that. Especially since Boston scored 3 in the 9th.

I initially read this as: "I'll go with that. Especially since BUXton scored 3 in the 9th."

 

Hey it's April Fool's day. A guy can dream.

[NoCryingInBaseball]

Game ended on a tie....might as well. only minor leaguers in the field and pitching.

You know, the problem with the moral victories is they aren't going to win us the Mayor's Cup!

 

[ashbury]

Every player has a right to ask the nearest coach, "nothing I did in this game actually counted for anything at all, as far as making impressions goes, did it? I mean, look at the lineup when the game ended."

[ashbury]

Ran out of arms, it's ova!

Not so. They ran out of arms in the 8th yet the game continued.

[Squirrel]

 

I'll go with that. Especially since Boston scored 3 in the 9th.

Teekz, that's why I said that.

Teekz ... the Mayor's Cup was lost Monday night.  So without even a moral victory, we got bupkis!

Better than nothing, sez I.

You are on top of your game today, ashburyjohn! I think you really showed the site owners what you can do when given a chance to moderate for a full nine innings.

Actually, as of today the record is 1-4-1 so if the Twins win the next 3 the series will end in a 4-4-1 tie.

Dang. Shows you how closely I've been looking at our spring training record. No bragging to my buddy this year

We've come a long way from "posts must be at least three characters long"

They keep saying they want to give the lefty one more look. I think it was always slated for me to be in the bullpen. Can a trade to Twinkie Town be worked out?

You might be owed too much money...
