  1. Hopefully a picture is worth a thousand sniffs.
  2. And on 4/3/21, Byron goes liftoff!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  3. Jumping back and forth between the Twins and Brewers announcers. Brewers guy: “The Twins are not a team that strikes out a lot.” Um...
  4. Nice play by Arraez, but if they are going to shift, I’d rather move the third baseman to the right side and let the shortstop play shortstop.
  5. Oh, I don’t know. It’s fine if the Brewers keep whiffing.
  6. We don’t play Houston for a while yet.
  7. Time zone differences as it relates to travel would probably make China a non-starter for during the season. I’m intrigued by your Cuba/Venezuela suggestions.
  8. Seth, assuming no injuries at the MLB level requiring them to go beyond Maeda/Berrios/Pineda/Happ/Shoemaker and Dobnak, what would you project the AAA rotation to be? I’m guessing Thorpe and Smeltzer. Duran didn’t appear in a single spring training game, right? With that being the case, it seems like he’s likely to start at AA. Who would be the other three most likely to be at AAA?
  9. Excellent suggestion. Milwaukee last hosted all the way back in 2002, so it’s not outlandish to think of going back there.
  10. An extra pitcher isn’t a viable option for the next two games. Having 12 hitters, one of whom is only a pinch hitter, means you have the backup catcher and two guys who can play defense.
  11. I apologize for showing up late, friends. I turned on during the Sano at bat, so the Twins are batting 1.000 for the year during my attendance.
  12. Didn’t look to see if they pitched, but Phil Niekro was picked five times, Hoyt Wilhelm four and Wilbur Wood three to name a few.
  13. Where's Mike Pelfrey when you need him, huh?
  14. Well, one thing they see is the ability to play CF so they don’t have a defensive outfield of Arraez-Kepler-Rooker on days Buxton is off.
  15. WIth the reality of starting pitching, I think you also have to compare at least Nos. 6, 7, and 8 and perhaps 9 and 10 as well. Each team will get a bunch of starts outside the five names listed above. From what I've read, I'll take the Twins at those positions.
  16. Call me silly, but I think Nelson Cruz makes the roster as well. [Also, you've got six infielders listed, rather than the (5) showing.]
  17. I haven't seen speculation on this, but with only two starts under his belt (and just one more scheduled, I assume, plus probably a simulated game around the 31st), I'm skeptical about Happ's likelihood for starting the season on the active roster. Starting him on the IL opens a roster spot for someone for the first week or two.
  18. Happ got a late start and has only pitched twice, including going only three (not very effective) innings on Sunday. He's only got time for two more spring starts. It seems quite plausible that he'll start the season with a short IL stint, freeing up a spot (and a start) for someone.
  19. Given the way catchers are used, I'd grade them in a pair, with Garver/Jeffers vs. Grandal/LuCroy, which narrows any gap considerably.
