And the defense won't be better with the 5-8 Solano at first base.

Made a nice dig on Correa's low throw.....

Yeah, the second baseman fielded a two-hopper.

Looks like he lost out.  Baldelli said he was making some changes to bullpen utilization based on an idea he got from Star Trek.  Not sure how it works but there was some unusual activity on the pen between innings...

 

No idea what he means, but it's LaBombo so I'm confident it's funny as hell.

Never liked using a  pitcher a inning, Theilbar 11  pitches - Lopez 5--Jax  did great,  just think the more people u use odds will catch up to ya, and with a off day Tomm. ,  Go Twins

Oh boy. Duran for the ninth, up two, facing 3-4-5.

Yup.  There's setting the bar low, and then there's 'Look, nobody can find the bar, but just get out there and pretend to limbo'.

I think it's fine to do that on opening day. Get everyone a feel for playing.

Pretty sure he can't hit twice in the ninth.

[SteveLV]

Larnach looks calm and comfortable at the plate.  Great to see!

Games can go longer than 9 innings.

"Zho-an Duryan" pitcherizing the ninth for us, or at least as Mr Bremer renders the name.

Abstract game thread humor requires a razor wit and nerves of steel.

They said I could have the job until they find someone like that.
