Molitor was traded????? Wow!

Great trade!!1!  Who'd we get?

 

//obligatory

[Vanimal46]

Is Sano going to look EXTRA athletic today?

 

[Vanimal46]

 

I am in the best shape I've ever been coming into Spring Training.

Did you do North's off-season training program? I hear he's been in the woods living with bears and getting his nourishment from poutine

[Blake]

 

Woah! What's this glorious thread doing here? I thought we were still in SCORCHING hot take mode... 

You mean there's no Spring Training for SCORCHING hot takes?

[Blake]

 

Ahhh...Game Threads, at long last. 

 

Deride and concur, friends. 

I disagree and refuse to mock.

[Pardon My Dinger]

 

I disagree and refuse to mock.

Well, then I don't even know who you are anymore. 

[D. Hocking]

Did we win yet?

 

[no CBUs?!]

[Broker]

I can't wait to turn on the radio this evening.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Cash Considerations is our new manager!

 

 

eh, just because.

Serves me right. Ask an abiguous question, get multiple right answers.

 

Happens every spring time...

[USAFChief]

I went to a French restaurant, and my lovely spouse, Mrs Chief, ordered snails.

 

Not me though.

 

I like fast food.

Everything sounds plausible except for the Chief in a French Restaurant part. I figured you were more of a bistro kind of guy.

[Blake]

 

I thought he was the new closer?? 

You don't get the cash until you learn how to close!

[Blake]

 

T-minus 150 minutes. I'm irrationally excited!

You're a Twins fan. I think irrational goes without saying.

Here is a picture of the first French Restaurant Chief tried.  He was at the grand opening.

I was out at Hammond Stadium this morning and they already had the lineup up:

It's up on the scoreboard at 10:24 a.m.?  That's going to be one long AB for Buxton. 

 

[snepp]

Chitown on a roll.

 

I haven't laughed like that since Dozier got traded, for the 4th time.

Won that trade

[ashbury]

so is joe mauer on the disabled list?

It's a night game before a day game. Gotta rest the veterans.

[Walter's Whites]

It's 74 degrees and they are getting ready for a ballgame in Fort Myers. Why am I here where it is a wind chill of 9? I wish I wasn't a broke college student.

I'm heading waaaay off-topic (is there a "topic" in game threads?), but you have one of the truly great user names on TD.

[AZTwin]

I wish De Leon was pitching for the Rays

[Thrylos]

So far so good.  Gibson leading the majors with 18 K/9.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

 

So far so good.  Gibson leading the majors with 18 K/9.

The other out was a groundout to Sano.

 

It can only go downhill from here.

Yeah, he just got tied by that kid who is pitching for them.

[AZTwin]

There you have it folks. We're projected to have all perfect games against and average 18 strikeouts a game

[Walter's Whites]

Hopefully downtown is empty for the parade this November. I'll get my World Series tickets now.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Pace of play!

 

Manfred has fixed baseball!

[Walter's Whites]

Not empty, bad wording. What I was trying to say is I hope I can find a spot.

[Walter's Whites]

Sano with a strike out. I bet we won't hear that very often this year.
