Geez, does the shift work well enough to justify giving up hits like that?

Yeah, probably.

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

Do people in the Twin Cities know baseball season has started?  It looks there are about 500 people in the crowd, which is about what they've drawn the last two home games.  Embarrassing...

[Nine of twelve]

Hey, thanks for giving us the free out!

The weather isn't exactly great

The weather isn't exactly great

 

If you're a true Minnesotan, this is GREAT Weather!

I'm an Iowan, AKA, a smart Minnesotan.

The weather isn't exactly great

Weather report says 53 and partly cloudy.  Doesn't sound bad at all.

[Mill1634]

Nice relay. HORRIBLE baserunning. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I am sad as the bar i usually talk 'em into turning on the Twins game at seems to be closed for patriot's day.

 

But i feel "in play, no out" isn't entirely accurate if someone get's thrown out going for an extra base...

50 once the sun goes down is not fun to sit in for three hours.

So... i'm not exactly a true minnesotan.

 

I can live with that.

 

But i wouldn't mind folk double checking my logic.

[Brock Beauchamp]

That was a generous strike three on Buxton.

It seems like the weather is similar for many cities around the country this time of year.  But fans are still braving the "cold" to attend those games.

[MMMordabito]

Kepler would have had that.

[Brock Beauchamp]

 

Kepler would have had that.

I think Cave would have had that if he didn't run that kinda ugly route.

[IndianaTwin]

 

Today, I thought I'd check in, and see how the Twins are faring in the standings:

Must have gotten up early to read the newspaper -- First Edition.

[PseudoSABR]

Called third strike, indicates good sequencing.  Garver/Perez doing a fine job.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Have any balls off the Jays' bats had an exit velocity under 100mph?

 

Perez is getting by with a bit of smoke and mirrors tonight.

[Mill1634]

Lots of hard hit balls by a very mediocre Toronto lineup. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

We can still come back.

 

Game isn't over.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Must have gotten up early to read the newspaper -- First Edition.

Are first edition newspapers collectible like books?

[operation mindcrime]

CROM!!!!!!!

[Brock Beauchamp]

Shoemaker is kinda falling apart out there.

 

Take advantage of it.

[operation mindcrime]

Woooooooooo!!!!!!

Well how about that.

[Mill1634]

BETTER. CALL. MAMA!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Keep the heat on, Tortuga!

[Danchat]

Wow, what a HR by Cron! These hitters are doing a good job responding after our pitchers give up runs.

[Mill1634]

Safe by a mile

 

1 mile = half a step
