    That’s just it, if you are going to get ‘gimmicky’ with a shift in the first place at that point in the game, you should expect it. Personally I think calling for the shift was kind of dumb. If anyone should be annoyed by that it should be the Orioles. I read a comment on Twitter (which was my mistake to even go there) where someone made a comment about how Sisco should have just hit the ball, play the game the way it was supposed to be played. Well, couldn’t one say that about the shift in the first place? It’s just all dumb.

    Why are some ... upset, I guess ... over the 9th inning bunt? With a shift on, what are you going to do? Why put a shift on in the 9th anyway?

    Putting my predictions in late: Twins: 89-73, WC Offensive player: Bux Most homeruns: Sano and Dozier tie Starting pitcher: Berrios Relief Pitcher: Reed Rookie: hmmm, Garver

    Gibby is definitely the prime subject of the game wrap, for sure. But Rosario's catch ... did anyone notice this tidbit in the Tribune's post game write up? “It hit in here,” Rosario said, demonstrating where the ball struck his glove. “When I went to the floor, the glove [hit] and the ball went up. It was slow motion.” Rosario pantomimed the ball in front of his eyes, and his move to pluck it out of the air with his bare hand. He’s made that play before, sort of. “The outfield coach [Jeff Pickler], he has us practice everything,” Rosario said of an expanded set of drills the Twins instituted this spring. “Sometimes I lie on the [ground] and Pick throws balls at us. A lot of drills.” http://www.startribune.com/postgame-rosario-practiced-juggling-catches-gibson-was-effectively-wild/478474923/ Rosario seems to be saying that that catch was a result of the practice and drills Pikler has put them through. Not sure what to make of it because that seems like a difficult thing to practice let alone replicate and practice, but kudos to Pikler for his outfield preparations.

    Yay ... post game wraps are back ... thanks, Tom!

    Crap ... Hildy not looking good to start ... well ... heh ... according to what I see on Gameday.
  7. Squirrel
    Yeah ... I suppose ... but giving up two walks ... I did say 'meh'. It's only one game. and the first one at that.
  8. Squirrel
    I was actually surprised that there wasn't a pitching change after Kep. But ... meh ... I don't know the Orioles' bp, and it is only the first game of the season ... but a single and two walks?
  9. Squirrel
    So, Chief ... how'd you not run out of likes on a thread of this magnitude, especially with Aggies7 participating? My way of saying ... Aggies ... you showed up!
  10. Squirrel
    Yes I really don't know ... just had to answer yes.
  11. Squirrel
    I'm at work ... frustrating to be 'watching' this game via Gameday.
  12. Squirrel
    I'm not buying! AND GET OFF MY LAWN!!!
  13. Squirrel
    You should go see the movie 'Early Man' ... that question was answered in that movie.

    I'm seeing jinxes all over the place here ... knock it off ...

    If you are using the app, make sure it's updated. If not, I think you have to subscribe to get the audio ... yes? at what ... $15/yr or something like that?
  16. Squirrel
    Lol ... I figured someone would do that.
  17. Squirrel
    So, if talks are 'dead' ... does that mean that there were some talks prior to opening day, or that there never were and now there won't be?
  18. Squirrel
    It's also posted on TD so it's double real ...
  19. Squirrel
    It's not a shameless plug ... it's a plug of necessity! That sounded weird. Anyway ... here are the available dates left for April. Get your game thread on! 4/8 Sea 4/13 CWS 4/15 CWS 4/18 CLE at Puerto Rico 4/25 @ NYY (And a few quick how tos and what nots found here. Just PM Chief and Carole.)
  20. Squirrel
    I hope you wake up to good news!

    He did clear waivers,yesterday, and was assigned to Rochester, so that 40-Man spot did go to LaMarre.
  22. Squirrel
    And LaMarre makes it! Granite optioned to AAA.
  23. Squirrel
    Yeah, not. I have Verizon, too.

    Out of curiosity, who’s your provider? I got the redirect one that was happening earlier in the week, but I haven’t had one like that in over a year or so. Would the provider even have anything to do with it?

    Please keep this discussion directed on Sano, MLB’s decision and moving forward. If you want to have a broader discussion regarding race, culture, sexual assault and harassment, please do so in the Sports Bar. I think there are several threads still active on these issues. But please keep this thread as it specifically relates to Sano and the upcoming season. Like it or not, the MLB decision has been made. There is no reason to castigate anyone on any side of this. If you can’t do so, please refrain from posting or find a more suitable forum to have these discussions. That includes putting any shade on either Betsy or Sano.
