I know it's only spring training, but seeing Danny Santana in centerfield is frightening for any Twins fan.

It's spring, though. They need to give Buxton a day off here and there, and I think they need to see Stubbs all over the outfield to get a handle on potential contribution there, so, they throw it out there in ST and see how it plays.

 

But yeah, I'm still with you there.

They gave Owens a pretty good spanking.

I was 22 runs off, but 4 runs still feels good

When they win a spring training game - is it a full chicken dinner or is it something like chicken nuggets?

Yes.

 

HitInPitch ... I'm disappointed in you for not answering 'correctly.'

[Squirrel]

Gibby made it through 5 ... is that the longest a starter has gone so far in ST?

[Squirrel]

 

Yes.

I don't know ... is it?

[D. Hocking]

Concur.

[Squirrel]

I was seriously asking, though, as I haven't kept track ... has Gibby completed the most innings of our starting pitchers so far in ST?

The announcers said he is the 1st to 5 innings

Oh ... I guess I missed that ... lol ... comes from doing other things with the game on in the background.

[Squirrel]

Hahaha ... Sano is pretty funny ...
