I still like Roden but it's a good problem to have. Still think trading Larnach would make a lot of sense

Still think having Outman in a different organization makes a lot of sense.

Did the rocket for his home run but I agree, I’m not an Outman fan. 

[Patzky]

Yeesh Brooks. Frozen in place by the A pitcher. His failures keep setting the table for Keaschall

[thelanges5]

Lee called out on strikes, fastball right down the middle. Poopy

[RpR]

Interesting Twins team today. I  did not expect to see the score as it is now when I turned it on.

While not every move is smooth, I 'understand' Shelton's lineups. Now we know Brooks Lee isn't a leadoff guy.. 

[Patzky]

Whoops hope Kriedler is ok.

[RpR]

Do you think the Twins will win?

[Patzky]

Can we pocket and use some of these runs again in April..

A functioning stopwatch shows that.

I wonder if the Yankees announcers are trashing the Twins now.

Preseason but it feels good like the Julien game at Yankee Stadium in 2O23 felt good.

[RpR]

Yankees must have hired a rain-maker!

I was stuck on It's Right Two Times A Day.

 

Then I figured it out.. and Lee still looking for a hit!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Rain maker? You mean that wasn't a mercy rule?

[Doctor Wu]

If we can beat the Yankees like this during the regular season (or, dare I mention the playoffs) I will be doing the Humpty Dance ALL night long!

Heh.  They've ended games in ties for a while, but "let's stop, we're out of pitchers needing any work" is the line you draw?

Go to the back fields sometime and watch the games.  When a major leaguer stays behind on a day his teammates are on the road, and plays against the AA guys, and leads off every inning followed by a courtesy runner if he gets on - will that prompt you to storm out and demand* a refund? 😁

 

* You won't be given a refund since they do not charge to watch games on the back fields.  Life is good in Ft. Myers.

[Craig Arko]

They should bring the rally raccoon north with them.

Twin Cities out of raccoons?  I doubt it.

[RpR]

Former Twins sticking it to the current Twins.

[Patzky]

Well Ober looked.. like Ober. Take it how you will .

I’ll take it. Rojas not looking too hot the last two outings. Our offense with four hits again.

[thelanges5]

14 games completed with the exhibition, about halfway through spring training. So far it’s the offense that has me the most concerned.
