Good lord these GIDPs are awful this series. Hats off to the Sox for their infield defense, they're nailing it and their pitchers are getting ground balls.

So far, I’m happy with starting pitching. I’m not worried about the Twins offense, not even a little, way too early to make any rational judgements on that. Defense is concerning, I hear a lot about Sanchez, but I think Sano is the biggest liability in the field. The bullpen needs help soon, they are not good, so far just a continuation of last season. The bullpen  will make or break the season.

Mr Sano would like a word with you.

Keep it up! Sano just made a great play

Keep ripping Sano.

I'm seeing in the Post that yesterday's Boston catcher has tested positive for Covid. Have they talked about that on the broadcast? (I have the sound down off to listen to piano music today.)

Apparently they will play in Toronto next week without their unvaccinated players. What a great advantage for the Blue Jays. Maybe Minnesota could do something ...

Agreed. I’m glad Duran is getting his lumps in, good and bad, this month. Because he will be relied upon heavily throughout the season. Thielbar being the most effective and tenured lefty in the pen isn’t ideal. Neither is relying on Sano, Sanchez, and Kepler playing a vast majority of games.

OUTSTANDING defensive play there by Sano.

I missed it ... what was the play?

Any word on Alcala?

Still a ways off. Throwing again but not pain-free.

Remember when you were a kid, going to school, and Easter Monday was a big deal?

I never remember it being a big deal, but I think we got the day off so people could have an extra day to return home from Grandma's

I've wondered about that but unlike Cleveland, the Twins have so many hitting prospects in the system, it's hard to see that kind of offensive failure happen here.

Totally agree, slow start sure, no doubt in my mind they turn that around

It was a big deal, since it was a day off.  Days off were cherished, as we never had spring breaks, 2 week breaks during  Christmas holiday, etc.  So a scheduled day off, sprinkled with a few snow days, were great.

Okay, minority opinion. I don't mind Roy Smalley as an analyst.

His analysis is ok, it's his voice that kills me.
