Twins @ Red Sox 3/15/24

[Parfigliano]

Chairman's Cup goes to the Twins with a win.

[Squirrel]

Even though I’m in town, watching on TV. Was at the park for a couple hours today and will be at the games tomorrow, that’s enough

[Squirrel]

It wasn’t that long ago that many posters anointed Balazovic as the next ace for the Twins. It makes me wonder that the Twins were able to remove him from the 40-man and no one claimed him

0 runs 1 hit for Balazovic in the 1st.

Opinions vary, but the Twins coaches count most.

Michael Taylor signs with Pitt for 1 year and $4 mil

What are they counting? And have they taken their shoes off yet?

Isn't that the same number as last year?

It’s ST for all of us … but I expect you to be in season form come March 28.

Apparently , not strike outs.

Well they haven't hit double digits yet. So the spikes are safe for now. 

[RpR]

Contreras had three pitches down the middle of the zone and waved at all three.

I wonder why he is not a Twin any more.

[jkcarew]

Looks like Scott Blewett.

I'm on the same page with you about that.  Going through the turnstyles is for me the least important part of the experience.  I would miss it if I never bought a ticket and went inside, for an entire week's stay or whatever.  But the action is elsewhere, and/or earlier in the day.

Looking forward to variations on this joke not being in play, once the regular season starts.

It seems like there are few pitchers that have unfortunate names, Blewett is one of them. They should change their names. If he hadn't lost the game I'd probably not notice it.

Grant Balfour and Homer Bailey pale in comparison.
