    Teams are using Spring Training games as a test run to show their respective cities how they plan on safely having 25% capacity: so far all teams in Florida (except maybe Toronto?) are requiring masks at all times "except for when eating and drinking." Detroit is going so far that they're not allowing gaiters; masks only. https://www.news-press.com/story/sports/mlb/springtraining/2021/02/25/spring-training-2021-baseball-schedules-covid-restrictions-florida-gulf-coast-ticket-information/4563672001/ Ultimately, there is two ways this will go down when the season opens (unless a city decides not to allow fans at all, which I certainly hope is not a legitimate option again): - Teams will decide that fans do not need to wear masks in their seats, but fans will still be required to wear them when walking to and from their seats, in the concourses, on the plazas, in the bathrooms, etc. or - Teams will require masks at all times except when eating and drinking, and certain fans will attempt to skirt that by nursing a single beer or bag of peanuts for a full 9 innings.

    Don't give the "Pohlads are so cheap" crowd any more ammunition. "If the Pohalds actually loosened the purse strings and slipped a couple K to Immigration, we'd have the World Series wrapped up by the All-Star Game!"

    Doesn't matter if it is outside; wear your masks when you're going to be around the same set of people for 3+ hours. Target Field is still hiring for police officers this year; I have a feeling they are planning on being very diligent with their masks and social-distance policies this year. It won't be an 80-year-old retiree usher asking you a second time to put on your mask and keep it on in your seat.

    Wow... Robert's average sprint speed is 29.1mph? Considering Usain Bolt's fastest speed measured was 27.8mph, that's pretty good. And Robert is only in the 96th percentile? I had no idea so many major leaguers were faster than the world's fastest man. (I think you meant "29.1 feet per second.") I'm really digging these "AL Central Rundowns." Buxton has to have at least one full good season in him, right? I obviously want more, but if everyone can gel together with the great years they are capable of having, 2021 could be special.

    So what free-agent SS do the Twins sign to a one-year contract in 2022 to fill the hole Simmons was filling until Lewis was ready? And the recent signing of Romine suddenly makes a lot more sense.

    My son will be painting with TC tomorrow. (And I will, too.)

    Can someone just spoil it for Derek so he gets all pissed and starts buying all the free agents he can? Angry shopping is a thing, right?

    The Opera browser has a built-in free VPN. For what it's worth.

    This trade still gives me nightmares that I'm going to wake up some day to see that Kepler or Sano have been traded for Logan Forsythe or Jeff McNeil.

    So the Twins cut ties with Rochester and Pensacola before securing a new relationship with St. Paul? What happens if the Saints say no? Do the Twins try and pick from another nearby American Association team? Can any of them afford $20 million?

    Second year in a row I subscribed to SlingTV, used it to watch two games, and now will be stuck paying for it for three months because my wife saw it includes the Hallmark Channel, and she wants Hallmark Christmas movies.

    If the Twins make it to the postseason in 2021, they should bring Tom Kelly in as manager. Gardy, Molitor, and Rocco all seem to have the same postseasonitis disease. Must be lingering in the manager's office...

    What swear words are allowed on this forum? I want to type them all.

    What's the record for pop-up outs in a single postseason game?
  15. woolywoolhouse
    This is it right here. Batters 2-4 are due up, with Sano batting 4th this inning. If they don't tie it up at least here in the 8th, they're done.

    Baseball Gods: "We know we've been rough on you in the postseason, Twins. So how about we give you a chance in 2020? We'll give you home-field advantage - with the best home record in baseball - and your first round opponent will be a sub-.500 team." Twins: "No deal." Baseball Gods: "What if we make it so you haven't lost back-to-back home games all season?" Twins: "Nope." Baseball: "What if we make it so their best pitcher has to have Tommy John surgery before the playoffs?" Twins: "Nah."

    I meant the homerun, not the ejection.

    Rosario has to "Josh Donaldson" the next pitch after that call.

    It is time for a big hit from a Twin!

    It's the Alex Kiriloff show today. Which would be great, if this wasn't his first major league game ever, and it was an elimination playoff game.

    Holy heck, the Twins are seeing 92-93 mph fastballs that are straighter than a laser and they're popping them up in shallow outfield or fouling them back. They should be driving them into gaps or over fences.
  22. woolywoolhouse
    Has a 1-0 deficit with 4 1/2 innings left to play ever felt more insurmountable than this?
  23. woolywoolhouse
    Berrios has seemed to struggle when the offense struggles. That's when he tries to be "perfect" with each pitch, knowing he could lose 1-0. Of course, I'm only basing that on the "eye test" and memory; I have nothing to back that up with.
  24. woolywoolhouse
    Baldelli! You're on with the ESP staff, and you just heard them call your starting pitcher "Berry-Ohs!" Correct them!

    Yesterday the Twins became the first MLB team to lose a playoff game to a sub-.500 team. Of course that is solely due to the 2020 expanded playoffs being new this year, but still... They also became the first team to walk in the game-winning run in the 9th inning or later. When it rains, it pours.
