Well, the game's on TV. 0-0 in the bottom of the third. Twins worked around an errant throw by Polanco to keep the game 0-0.

[Unwinder]

Ober looked acceptable.

FYI, this is another free game on MLB.TV with no blackouts:

Buxton and Arraez with back-to-back singles. Buxton advanced to third and Arraez to second on the single to left by Arraez. We just haven't seen base running like that much since Baldelli became manager.

[PDX Twin]

Good to see Sano in midseason form. (Not)

[stringer bell]

Polanco and Sano with back-to-back strikeouts followed by a liner to center, no runs with runners on second and third and none out. Oh well, get innings like that out of the way in Fort Myers.

Is Correa there? Is he playing????

Gordon started at short, since replaced by Robertson.

Dang.  I was hoping someone would provide a scouting report on Correa and how he looks this far into the Spring schedule.

[ashbury]

Looks like I picked the wrong year to drop my MLB.tv subscription.

Well, Gordon is still in the game. It could be Robertson is at third or they moved Gordon to third.

website shows Robertson at 3rd ...

Jax looked pretty sharp. Im hopeful he can be pretty good airing it out a little bit in the bullpen. 

I think he's always given up a bit too much contact throughout his minor league career to make it as an MLB starter. Hopefully he can miss more bats in shorter stints out of the bullpen.

I listened to Probus. It's spring training for announcers too.

Scouting report: worth every penny.

 

Not that they actually pay people in pennies any more.

Can still use to stream today. Looks like a lot of games this spring are free.

Red Sox have struck out 5 times; Twins have struck out 12 times.

I do not care if it is early in Spring Training, that does not speak well for Twins rookies, or veterans.

[PDX Twin]

How soon do we ask "What's wrong with the offense?" 2 runs in 3 games (unless they score in the 9th).

Give it a week or two ... I think it's too soon ... but ... never too soon to keep an eye on it, just too soon to be whining about it here

Ah, man.

 

We did not win.
