    Agreed, even though the Twins lost 2 of 3, the pitching held up well. Defense? I know it's kind of beating a dead horse, but the two non-starting outfielders are both suspect in the field. Ideally, the fourth OF is someone who can improve the corner outfield defense and hold his own in center, that is not DanSan or Grossman. Sano and Polanco have been pretty good on the infield so far. Their backup (Escobar ) would likely be as good or better on defense long-term. The bullpen has been surprisingly effective, but the two RH setup guys gave up the runs to the Sox. Belisle is a 36 year-old who has played for a different team each of the last four years and Pressly is an enigma--looking elite one day and then totally hittable the next outing.

    More "bright side"--the Twins have outscored their opponent in each series. Eventually, they will win their share of close ones.

    Now I've got something to live for. If I live until I'm 92, Easter will fall on my birthday!

    Lots of thoughts: Twins win 2-1 if Grossman is a faster/better base runner. I thought they might be smart to pass A García and I was thinking that Abreu was overdue. I can't figure out Pressly-he looks unhittale one minute, batting practice the next.

    Or not.
  6. stringer bell
    Put down a good bunt Danny!
  7. stringer bell
    At least Swarzak won't be the Winning Pitcher.
  8. stringer bell
    Good play by DanSan or should he have tried to catch it?
  9. stringer bell
    No Pressly? DanSan gets RF?
  10. stringer bell
    So a leadoff walk to Buck is like a double?
  11. stringer bell
    Too bad. That ball wasn't hit well.
  12. stringer bell
    Is Hector good for another inning?
  13. stringer bell
    Davidson has a scary big swing.
  14. stringer bell
    Infield shift to the first base side. Outfield shifted severely to left.
  15. stringer bell
    Exciting!!!
  16. stringer bell
    Should have turned that one.
  17. stringer bell
    Outside the park--pretty strong. Seems to swirl , but both Grossman and Sox LF staggered under high fly balls.
  18. stringer bell
    A Grossman walk. Imagine that!
  19. stringer bell
    Twins got a break on the double and Hector took advantage.

    I didn't own a car 'til I got out of college, but I had access to a '61 Rambler, push button transmission. 199 cubic inches IIRC. I got to drive an underpowered Corvair a couple times, but it wouldn't start after a blizzard and I never drove it again. My older brother bought a new Ford Maverick--dirt cheap and built that way. $1995 brand new.

    Trying out my spring pass today. Sitting in the handicapped chairs not disturbed by ushers so far.
  22. stringer bell
    Dozier trails Springer by three in leadoff homers. A lot of work to do.
  23. stringer bell
    I've seen Mauer make a few back-to-the-infield catches that most immobile first sackers would never get to. Another play he made was retrieving an overthrow on the warning track and throwing a pea to third to get the runner. Despite his advancing years and declining hitting, Joe Mauer is a good first baseman (defensively).
  24. stringer bell
    I'd DFA Tonkin. He had a whole season last year and showed flashes, but was unreliable. Eventually, I think Bresow should be replaced, too.
  25. stringer bell
    It's the fifth inning men, time to wake up!
