How bad did the injury to Gordon look?

He walked off the field slowly with assistance. Not sure if it was knee or ankle. Didn’t follow up with sources

With all the errors, this game is pretty much how Rocco and staff treat ST and it rolls into the regular season.  Very little accountability throughout the lineup.  The adage has truth: you play how you practice.

This is just how last spring felt: we dropped it and threw it around all spring training and then that pretty much set the tone for real games.

Ugly game. I guess that's why ST is all about finding out strengths and weaknesses?

Per George Will in "Men at Work: The Craft of Baseball" the ideal Spring Training record  is .500

Go Twins!

Applies to all of them.  Nobody has had game reps since September.  I'm not sure what you're getting at.

Nothing implied. Just asking for my own piece of mind.

Thanks for your reply.

I watched most of the game. Gray didn’t give up hard contact, but balls found holes. The first error charged to Nick Gordon surprised me, but he didn’t make a good play on the ball. He played the second ball a bit awkwardly and both got injured and committed another error. 
 

I have about run out of patience with Pagán.
