We'll take it however we can get it!!! -
I thought Grady Sizemore was supposed to help with our dysfunction on the bases.
-
Ouch, he hesitated twice and still went for it.
-
Yeah. It's really windy there?
-
How is the Saints game not canceled for tonight? Aghhhhh
-
Well, it doesn't get any better with Ragans on the mound. He has absolutely dominated the Twins in his six starts against them, but maybe the Twins can have a breakout game today and put up double-digit runs????
-
The unexplainable at-bats that is Matt Wallner. The guy just confuses the hell out of me.
-
Soft-tossing lefty, Cameron is really good against LHB, but his cutter against righties is the pitch the Twins will need to hit, and hopefully he can hang a slider every once in a while. His curveball and changeup are his put-away pitches. Cameron's curveball had a 9-run value last year with an almost 30 Whiff%. Let's go Twins!!!
-
Twins will face three straight lefties in this series. Let's see how they handle this.
-
Already 1-8 with RISP. Yikes......
-
I would take Keaschall or Bell.
-
I'm excited to get out to CHS for the Saints opener in five days!!!!
-
Good morning, everyone, Another year of Twins baseball is here. I'm excited to see everyone again and honestly hope for the best. Another thing I'm hoping for is to see some of our young talent get a chance to play in the Big Leagues this year. What are your thoughts on today's lineup card? I'm here for anyone who needs to vent or maybe give compliments on the team. Have a great opening day, everyone, and go, Twins!!!
-
Ryan focused on the 4-seam in the first inning. 11 out of 16 pitches were the 4-seam fastball. Velocity is still around 92-93MPH, so that's promising.
-
Good old Twins, trying out everyone at every position. I honestly like Martin in center instead of at the corner. I agree, I think Kreidler should be at SS, but they want to get a really good look at flexibility with Gray and Wagaman.
-
I think the plan is to keep three catchers for now. With Caratini's ability to play first, he looks like he could take some at-bats there and at DH. I still think they are trying to trade Jeffers, but haven't found a team willing to do so.
-
I wonder how sharp Ryan will be today? Hope he can get up to speed by the time the season starts.
-
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.

Yes, I found it on Twitter. TJStats is who does these, as well as the umpire scorecards. -

Cool little graphic from Prielipp's 1 2/3 today.

Prielipp was a little wild, but he got out of it and was really effective with the fastball. Needs to locate the slider a little better, but all in all, it was a good outing for him. -
I'd like to see Chafin make the team and add a lefty in the pen who has experience. Hopefully he can stay healthy and be a force for us. Chafin Banda and Sands at the back half of the bulpen doesn't sound as bad as people think. The bigger issue will be who stays up and who goes down between the starters and who gets what bulpen role. Raya, Rojas, Prielipp, Abel, Bradley, and Morris will be tough to sort out, assuming your rotation will be Ryan, Ober, Festa, Mathews, and SWR.
-
Gotta love that "ting" sound everytime the Gophers hit the ball.
-
Pretty easy throw there for Gio, he just air mailed it.
-
I still want to see my guy Fedko get a chance. I know the outfield is full of names, but given the work he puts in and the massive improvement he had last year compared to 2024, he should get a look. I know he's ready to go, and hopefully, he will make it tough on the Twins when Spring Training ends. I'm not saying start him in every game, but I think he should be given a fair chance as the 4th or 5th outfielder, or as the next man up when an injury happens. Mendez is too young, and the Twins don't typically bring up 22-year-olds. Outman's whole approach at the plate last year was lost, and even with a change of scenery, it didn't seem to help him. I don't see much in Roden, honestly. So Gonzalez, Rodriguez, and Fedko should be given a fair chance to win two spots, even pushing Larnach out, possibly.
