GAME THREAD: Twins @ Red Sox 12:05 3/17/2022 (Spring Training Opener - free on MLB.TV!)

I hate to ask this but I'm a work and can't watch. Does Gordon look like anything resembling an MLB shortstop? I'm afraid of the answer . . .

By the way, I just saw that Ryan Tepera signed with the Angels. Another possible relief pitcher comes off the board. Do we have a single thread that deals with free agent signings and trades outside of the specific one for Trevor Story? Just curious. Would love to see people's comments on these kind of comings and goings.

Well, he does have two arms and two legs, like many MLB shortstops do. Does that help?

The "Other Baseball" forum has a couple threads that catch that discussion right now:

Post lockout FA signings

He didn't look good.

14-1.  Might as well get used to that early.???

Presumably a ghost runner scored at some point.

  The fastball got hammered when he didn't locate well, which seemed to be an issue for him today with all of his pitches.  

Pretty sure he can locate them, just needs to stop by the clubhouse and pick up his hiking boots and a compass...

That’s what I missed?  Oh well, happy to see game threads back.
