Game Thread: ST game #1-Twins @ Red Sox, 3/2 @ 1:05pm

[Mauerpower]

3 walks for sano. How many games did he have with 3 walks after being called up last year? Zero. The answer is zero.

[Platoon]

I reserve the right to use hustle, grit, and helmet falling off head per run ratio

You failed to include sliding into first, the most important of metrics!

[pbrezeasap]

Does Trevor May getting 2 innings in his first outing mean they might actually give him a shot at the rotation?

[rghrbek]

 

Rough start for Park,   3AB, 9 strikes, 3 SO's

 

Are you saying he has only seen 9 pitches total?  Otherwise yes to strike out 3 times you would have accumulated 9 strikes.

[gocgo]

Am I reading that right?  Has he gone down on 3 pitches in each at bat?  I mean, I don't want to start screaming bust yet, but that's not good.

How much longer are we going to wait for Arcia, Vargas and Park to start hitting?

Patience is highly overrated

I would assume more than 3 AB for Park  I would be willing to bet all 3 of them see a lot of at bats in Spring Training.

I value smiling and helmets falling off far more than the direction with which one slides!

I don't think Gameday tracks pitches in Spring training

Key words = "in Spring Training".

I'm OK wit' dat!

[gocgo]

Not just 3 K's, 6 LOB's with it.  Ouch!

Yeah, that's right.  I remember now...it's been a year!  Can't wait for a televised game to see how he looks at the plate.  Hey, if your gonna look bad, make it on a non televised day.

[Platoon]

According to my flip phone calculator, it would only take 600 pitches to SO 200 times at this rate. Free swinging like that will never allow us to achieve our offensive goals! Getting into the other teams BP!

[James]

Game threads are back!  This is a good day.

Luckily, for the last 400 pitches, he will be with Rochester.

[Jerr]

At work on break, but listening on the radio.....couldn't let a game thread go by without my GO TWINS!!!

AS Twins score more!!!!

[rghrbek]

The Maestro is getting an AB!!!!   Welcome back.

 

 

Ah...good morning, good afternoon and good night

[Intramural Legend]

Well - does that mean ABW will be the minor league guy we love this Spring??  

[rghrbek]

ABW!

[sane16]

ABW = Adam Brett WHATEVER!

During ST GT posts will not be evaluated until the last 10 days of ST. Veterans like the Chief and Brian will needless to say not have to post during road games, nor will any of their post mean anything. Brian will simply be working on his sophmoric sense of humor, and Chief on his brief but biting commentary. No one expects either to go all out until the games count! I, while not anywhere near veteran status, am comfortable enough in my position as the 25th man on the roster to spend some time watching the end of "the Walking Dead" to see whether Twins scouts should be following any of the zombies for a possible playoff drive FA signing?

[Whammy]

Oh boy, here we go Terry Ryan.... Should've added bullpen help.

Why the **** in 2016 is this game not streamed online or on TV anywhere?

And I'm fine with being the every fifth day ace pitcher.

I can't believe that this game was not broadcast back in Boston ... so not sure why I can't watch it with my MLB subscription, but it's not showing that there's a game to watch.

[Squirrel]

By the way ... I'm home so I'll give an update:

 

the Twins scored some runs, Boston got two back so it's now 6-2, top of the 9th, two runner (Mastro HP, Walker singled), no outs.

I think you meant Walker struck out.

 

Easy mistake.

Sure it is. Did you used to play Sean Connery on SNL Jeopardy? 

[Squirrel]

Um, no ... he got on with a single ... moving Mastro to 2nd, then Beresford hit into a dp ... Walker out at 2nd, Beresford out at 1st, Mastro to 3rd; then Mastro scored on Hicks' double.

 

Edit: This was top 9th. Maybe Walker struck out in an earlier inning? I just got home at this point.

[Squirrel]

Okay ... Twins win 7-4. Yay Twins!
