Has the home plate camera angle been this far off all spring?

You wonder what they think. I know it's all business. But.. nice play by Keirsey.

Ready as well.

Plenty of good seats available at lovely Hammond Stadium.

[Patzky]

It's nice to see a competent performance by a Twins starter..

[mrtwinsfan]

Biggest downer up till now ?   Pitching overall ? or Wallner and Lewis seeing zero upside so far , Poor matty cant hit and Royce is ?? cant count on him ,, which is why i believe Urshela is even here --  LONG YEAR ==Scary== looking like a 100 loss team--  Hope im way off on that ,  Mick looked more than Able today ==good sign!!

[Parfigliano]

They put the extended netting up at baseball games because in today's crowd 27% aren't paying attention to anything other then their phone screen.

What's the over-under on the inning in which he is replaced?  It being spring, starters don't play long.  I'd put the line at 1.5.

At this point, they would like for him to get two, maybe three at-bats. I'm surprised he's back in the lineup this quickly.

Sim-Woods looking  mid-season form to start the game --  5  straight HITS !

[mrtwinsfan]

Byron and Team u.s.a.  on espn at 2 p.m/

Oh, I think we know what they'd like.  But will events allow it?

Two straight WOOFS for Woods in a row. 

Better hope Ober is competent..

Well lots of stolen bases and productive outs. Scratching back to within 5-3? That's actually encouraging

Five steals so I like to see that. Only three hits from the offense, that’s no bueno.

That's par.

[Vanimal46]

The problem with SSS is looking like a fool after the fact... But I will still say it... Luke Keaschall isn't exactly lighting it up this spring. 

[SteveLV]

2-8-1, about what I would expect from this collection of players.  Lucky to have 400 win percentage this year. Feel badly for Shelton having to manage this crew....

[big dog]

I doubt if Shelton expected much better, other than not losing Lopez. Do you think he expected some big free agent bats? He’s happy to be managing again and hoping it goes better. I wish him luck. He’ll need it.

How weird playing against Christian Vazquez and Willi Castro. The fraternity of baseball.

[RpR]

Vazquez threw out Clemens  on a steal, the pitcher picked Clemens off at 1st.

Defense, some thing Minn. still lacks.
