3 rows up. This is my first mobile post.

 

Go Twins!

[Danchat]

 

Directly behind home plate, 4 rows up, 4 blue Twins Daily t shirts. Un-****ing-real.

Wait, we have T-shirts? This is the first I've heard about it.

[spinowner]

Updated Twins lineup and batting order.

 

1. Brian Dozier ® 2B
2. Zack Granite (L) CF
3. Joe Mauer (L) 1B
4. Eduardo Escobar (S) 3B
5. Eddie Rosario (L) LF
6. Max Kepler (L) RF
7. Jorge Polanco (S) SS
8. Jason Castro (L) C
9. Jose Berrios ® P

 

Phil Miller reports Sano is a scratch. This is apparently related to being hit on the hand with a pitched ball last night. No word on the severity of the injury.

Me too!

Glunn is new to the whole smart phone thing....this was his first ever post from his phone.

 

Sometimes there just isn't much to say.

If my photo-editing skills were better, I'd have suggested the Milwaukee Bremers and pasted Dick's face into every player on a team picture.

Where is Bark when we need him?

Confirmed on the broadcast. Upper right hand corner of the center field camera shot.

We see you, clear as day.

 

Don't pick your nose.

[ashbury]

That section of seats is surprisingly sparsely populated. Plenty of elbow room for you.

Thanks!

Just tuned into the game to see Granite patrolling center field. Wanted to see Buxton, feeling let down

Kind of a quiet thread tonight. As Yogi might have said, If people don't want to come out to a west coast game thread, nobody's gonna stop 'em.

[Tibs]

I wish we had a Corey Seager

[Mill1634]

 

I wish we had a Corey Seager

We do...He is in AA and his name is Nick Gordon. 

[Danchat]

I don't think he's quite as a high-caliber prospect as Seager is/was. Seager's got a ton of power and is better defensively.

Disagree but I am excited for Nick Gordon

[IndianaTwin]

ChiSux seems obvious. In fact, at Cubs games, one can get shirts with the '70s-style unis and the "o" changed to a "u."

[Mill1634]

LOL Jack, no way the D has a chance to get two on that last play unless V-mart is running to first.

Or maybe Whine Sox, in honor of everyone's favorite broadcaster?

[snepp]

Scrappy-type guy.

 

 

 

Drink!

In support of a couple other comments, it would be surprising if a shortstop listed at 6'0" and 160 was any kind of comp for a shortstop at 6'4" weighing 220. Gordon is good but the difference in power numbers looks kind of baked in from the outset.

[ashbury]

And with that, it's time for this guy to hit the hay. Plan for tomorrow is to go watch some Cape Cod League ball - crossing fingers for some better weather than the past several days.

Speaking of whining, now it's my turn. I was having a PERFECTLY GOOD DAY until you brought him up. Now I probably won't even be able to sleep. Thanks, "friend."

[Squirrel]

 

Twins web site shows him on the 10-day DL.

He was to be activated today, but a migraine kept him out of pre-game activities, so he will be re-evaluated tomorrow ... or something like that.

It's just too late ... normally I'm a night person, up until 1 or 2am ... easily ... but I'm playing tennis at 8am tomorrow so ... will be getting to bed early.

[Riverbrian]

Too Funny

 

I see Glunn and Chief on every pitch. 

 

This may be the first time I don't actually watch the game closely because I'll be watching Glunn and Chief instead. 

[drock2190]

You don't tell a career .500 hitter to bunt.

[Riverbrian]

Hey Chief

 

Tell the guy in front of you to take off his hat. 

 

I can't see your facial expressions. 

 

Better yet... Just remove it and don't say anything. Act normal

 

 

 

 

[David HK]

Only a short moment to check in while moving house-- but my gosh, Dozey- your team is struggling with RiSP, there's a huge hole on the R side, and they're pitching you outside....

 

Ummmm..... what's the problem here?

 

Edit--- thanks Zack, for picking up the 'vet'

 

I'm beginning to think I can live with the noodle arm....
