Game Thread: ST Game #3 - Twins v Nats, 2/26 @ 12:05pm CT

[Squirrel]

Late. Go! Begin!

[ashbury]

It's a day game after a day game, so Mauer is on the bench. Gotta rest the veterans.

 

It's 4-1 Twins, going into the bottom of the 3rd. Worley pitching now for the Nats. Dozier gets a leadoff base knock. CBU.

[drock2190]

Buxton starting off strong. Got caught leaning but still stole 2nd.

[spinowner]

CBU: Twins up 4-1. Vance Worley (yes, that Vance Worley) comes in for the Nats to pitch the bottom of the third.

[ashbury]

A near-comical play by Nats RF Goodwin, according to radio PBP, with the ball popping out on a catch but he recovered to catch it again? Maybe someone will post a photo.

By the way, to everyone ... if you don't see a game thread up, start one! This is ST for you, too, and it's encouraged to just jump in! It won't be long before we post the schedule so all you Threaders can sign up and make your mark!

Is that a Thread, or a Promise?

[MNTSchmitt]

5 pitches, 4 strikes, a single, a SB, and they manufactured a run. 

[ashbury]

Good play by Sano just now, apparently.

[ashbury]

Yes

Concur.

But alas, i guess i must stop paying attention with a 5-1=4 run lead.

To quote Zathros, "At least there is symmetry."

Zathras the baseball coach: "Can not run out of time. There is infinite time. Can run out of innings. Can run self out of inning. Can run out ground balls. Must."

[AlwaysinModeration]

Starting pitcher: Trevor May!

 

Nice bullpen: Jorge, Berrios, Romero, Gonzalves.

 

Jason Castro 2-2 with a homer. Buxton with his second double.

 

Springtime hope is eternal....

[TwinsCD]

Jason Castro has a HR.  Our new GM is already earning high marks.

[Blake]

Three games in, the roster is settled, right?
