A Poem for my Late Twins Superfan Dad, Opening Day
John Bonnes replied to Spencer Legred's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I really loved this. Opening Day is a lot more than just the game or the crowd or the event. It's also a way or marking time, and naturally that means remembering those you love or have loved. I'm very glad they can be intertwined that way. I'm very glad they were intertwined for you, Spencer. It also feels very natural to relate our relationships, particularly family relationships, with baseball. Baseball is a slower game, and a slower season, and it moves on a day-to-day cadence. So it is with families. There are big events, but the bonds are formed in the quiet, gradual way that a season is played. A special season isn't one game. It's a journey. Just like you don't remember when you started to to fall in love with a spouse, or your kid, or your parent. One day, they're a part of you, and you recognize they have been for a while. So we honor those moments, and Opening Day is as good a day as any to celebrate and commemorate, and maybe mourn a bit. It's a good day for one's heart to swell into one's eyeballs. -

Last night, following the Twins 4-3 loss to the Cubs, Seth, Nick & John were joined by a live virtual audience to recap the game and discuss some of the news that came out it. Topics included whether we need to worry about a slow start by the Twins lineup, Miguel Sano's defense at first base and Jake Odorizzi's trip to the Injured List and what it means for the 30-man roster decisions.

I don't see their name on the team handout, but it should be a real umpire. They were bringing them in for this and got tested the other day.

I don't know how much people can see from the streaming, but the crowd noise they're pumping in is fun, and the introductions/hype stuff on the scorecard was legitimate. I hope people will be able to see that stuff on teh broadcast. Crowd here would've loved it.

I don't know how many of us are streaming this tonight, but for those who are, how about a little game thread? You can stream the game, and the Twins are apparently going all out on the production value for this one as their own "spring training."
