Twins (Ober) vs Cardinals (Pallante): 3/30/35, 1:15pm

[cheeseheadgophfan]

Ober is topping out at about 90 mph with a lot of 88-89.  I know he doesn’t throw gas, but that is still concerning.  Just throwing batting practice.

Randy in the house!!!

Looking a lot like last September. 

[Aggies7]

This is good though, the sadness usually doesn’t set in until July. Going to be a nice stress free summer 😂

ERA 0.  He's a keeper.

Nothing quite says contender like seeing Mickey Gasper and Randy Dobnak opening weekend.

Toss in utility man Castro and D replacement Bader starting all 3 games.

Hope you guys all got the 7 day free trial for Twins TV. There's going to be a lot of cancellations in the near future.

[Patzky]

Well a moment of kindness from Willi

[Irishman]

Twins are horrible today.   Same old pattern like they did last August-September.  Very disappointing!  We the Minnesota Twins do not deserve this!   Pitching and hitting coaches need to let go.   These coaches have no clue at all.

I will bet money that Bader is not the starting LF on opening day (bet is null if against a LHP). 

He was (and Gray is not LHP, time to pay up), and he looks to be the regular LF...

Love that you kept the receipt.

[Linus]

So we’ve tried different hitting coaches and different philosophies.  When do we determine that our hitters aren’t good?

[T.O.]

Decided to skip game and go to movie. Waiting for movie to start checkin and see in 3rd that the Twins season is Ober.

Rally cap is on (-:

What the hell was Miranda thinking?

After that Willi-a-go-go, it might be the last knuckle-curve Pallante throws for a strike all year.

[IndyTwinsFan]

I can’t see a whole lot of fans paying to see this clown show of a team once they get back home.

[Parfigliano]

Ober 90mph.  Dobnak 93mph.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Ober's first start last year went the same way. He'll be fine. Don't foresee a CYA but he'll be fine.

Bigger issue is that they just look totally lifeless. Carbon copy of August and September last season.

We already have tiks for Sat-Sun against DET and Mon against NYM.

[glunn]

I am not giving up on the season today, but I have given up on this game.  It seems to me that today would be a good day to have all of the batters try out the torpedo bats -- nothing to lose.

[exeoud]

Like seriously, what do we think Rocco even says to these guys on the plane to Chicago or before games. This dude has to have complete negative "aura" as the kids call it nowadays

[tony&rodney]

Simply put, the Twins have become the anti- Rays as a baseball organization.

Good for you!  I don't expect you'll have a boatload of company in the stadium for those games.

Agreed.   I will not come watch this season.

[OvertheHill]

I’m lovin the Randy Dobnak Experience so far.
