Robinson fields the ball at third and makes a good throw to Robinson at first to get the hitter Robinson by a couple of steps 

At least it's Jackie Robinson day instead of Titanic day

[USAFChief]

Buxton catches that.

Or tax day

A silver lining to this game is that I’m pretty convinced Joe Ryan is a legit #2 pitcher.

I'm now picturing players dressed up like ships, ice burgs, and accountants...

[Brock Beauchamp]

We all agree Celestino should be starting in place of Buxton, right?

They didn't even put Celestino in as an injury replacement, so I'm going to need to see it before I believe it.

Is there a better option?

Wow that was strike 2 on Vasquez there, awful call by the ump.

Mondays game starts at 8:10 PDT. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a major league ballgame start that early .

[TwinsDr2021]

Does Ryan come out for the 6th?

Also, back in the Metrodome days the Twins would sometimes start a game at 11 AM local time to allow for a Gopher football game that evening.

That’s still only 9:00 here

[Brock Beauchamp]

Me ten minutes ago: ouch, I cut my tongue on something. Weird.

Me five minutes ago: I think I’ll have an orange.

Me right now: OOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW

Didn’t even need to look it up but it’s Boston marathon day. The Sox game always starts crazy early that day.

But it's 11 AM local time either way.

I think the point is, on Patriots' Day, the Sox have a history of an 11AM start. 8 AM in Vegas.

An hour later than most English football games. Except, of course, their noon kickoffs that start at 4am here. They use the early Sunday kickoffs for rivalry games so that there is less time for the "ultras" to drink before the game...

Yeah, I think it's so Sox and Marathon fans can shout, "Yankees Suck" together on Boylston St.

Nine of twelves point was a metrodome start at 11am, which is what I responded too

Been cleaning the grandparents house. Surely I didn't miss Sano hitting a homer or Buxton getting hurt.

Still none. Why are you all convinced I'm drunk? I thought everyone knew I was super into heroin these days.
