Weather: OMG ... it is GORGEOUS here in Fort Myers today. Just beautiful, warm, sunny!

 

Hope y'all are listening or watching!

[Craig Arko]

Nice. If it weren't for all the 'bad gateway' errors maybe even fun to participate.

 

It's in the 20's, and going to snow tonight in the TC.

[formerly33]

Thank you! I was waiting for you to start it and didn't want a duplicate thread.

 

OMG!! The first game is underway and I have tears in my eyes ...

[Squirrel]

Bases loaded for Arcia, 1 out ... 

 

(Bux K'd, Nunez, Vargas and Sano walked)

[Negativity Police]

 

 

OMG!! The first game is underway and I have tears in my eyes ...

No crying! That's, like, rule number one.

[Squirrel]

Aaaaaargh ... Oswaldo K's.

[Squirrel]

Now we'll get our first game look at Park ... 

[Jham]

Well... that's twins baseball all right.

[Squirrel]

Aaaaand ... top half over with K, BB, BB, BB, K, K

 

(Bux called; Sano and Park swinging)

[Craig Arko]

 

Aaaaand ... top half over with K, BB, BB, BB, K, K

 

(Bux called; Sano and Park swinging)

So, a .500 team OBP.

[Jham]

Nunez hitting with buxton, arcia, and park striking out. Exactly where we left off...

[Negativity Police]

 

Well... that's twins baseball all right.

Not even one inning in the books. You're in big trouble, pal.

[slash129]

Quality protection for Sano

[Negativity Police]

 

Nunez hitting with buxton, arcia, and park striking out. Exactly where we left off...

You're down 0-2 yourself, mister. Put your hands where I can see 'em.

[Mike Sixel]

 

So, a .500 team OBP.

 

Sequencing.......

[Winston Smith]

This season stinks already!

[Negativity Police]

 

This season stinks already!

Peeeeeeep! Peeeeeeeeeeep!

[slash129]

Park to AAA .... Polanco to DH

[slash129]

At least nothing was lost in the pitch taking department with the Hicks/Murphy trade

[Squirrel]

Bottom half of the 1st ... Sox down in order, fly out, ground out, ground out.

 

Polanco starts the 2nd with a double ... followed by two outs, he is now on 3rd.

I think some people fail to understand the purpose of spring training. 

[Intramural Legend]

 

I think some people fail to understand the purpose of spring training. 

 

I thought it was for us to determine what minor league guy we like, and what major league guy we hate?

[slash129]

 

I think some people fail to understand the purpose of spring training. 

 

Isn't it for depleting our Minn Kota batteries?

[Squirrel]

Okay, so ... Twins fail to score after getting a lead-off double. The double followed by K, ground out, K.

 

And bottom 2 starts with a single by Ramirez.

[Squirrel]

Followed by a DP.

[Squirrel]

I work with Chris Young's cousin.

 

The most trivial of trivia.

 

And he's out ... Sox out, 3 up, 3 down.

[jbissell]

Im not going to start panicking about Buxton after 2 AB's, but can someone enlighten me as to how he "looked" at the plate during those AB's? If the game is being televised of course.

[slash129]

Hughes seems sharp to start ... minimum faced and probably done

[D. Hocking]

 

Okay, so ... Twins fail to score after getting a lead-off double. The double followed by K, ground out, K.

 

And bottom 2 starts with a single by Ramirez.

 

We need to fire Bruno.  At this rate we are not going to score all season.

[formerly33]

 

I thought it was for us to determine what minor league guy we like, and what major league guy we hate?

Only if you have, as the new Sheriff put it, some damn good statistics to back that hatred or love.
