Okay, threaders ... guess the only ones listening today will be those with the MLB package as I don't think it's on the radio locally ... not that I saw, did I get that wrong? Anyway, the team makes the 2.5-3 hr drive to West Palm Beach on Florida's other coast (I like the west coast side better) to play the Nats. I just looked up their ST facilities ... it looks pretty nice. One day (i.e. in my retirement) I'll make the trek to all the other ST complexes to compare and rate. For now, I'll just say we have the best. (Oh, okay, I have been to Jet Blue ... the parking situation there is awful, so it dampens any positive position I might have on the place.) Anyway ... I'…

Split squad day, it would seem. Line ups to follow, but a cursory glance at scores says we are ahead in both of them. Today is a good day!

Baseball is back! Boston and the Twins will go at it on this fine day. What, it's Twenty below where you're at? And? Yes, there are those who think the groundhog signifies the end of winter and that Spring is just around the corner. But those of us who live in the real world know the only true sign that counts is: Pitchers and Catcher report to camp! With that, here are the lineups. No idea if they are accurate, as they're from MLB.com. Well, probably accurate for about, oh, two innings. Boston: 1. Mookie Betts RF 2. Xander Bogaerts SS 3. Hanley Ramirez 1B 4. Christian Vazquez C 5. Blake (now there's a fine name!) Swihart DH 6. Jeremy Barfield LF 7. Rus…

I didn't see one, so thought I would get it started. Welcome to swing at the first pitch game. Foul balls will be frowned upon today!

Uff da. Nine hits in the past four games? These games are getting unbearable. Fortunately, for those who are in the Central time zone, you don't have to stay up until midnight to watch opposing pitchers celebrate their one-hitters - this one is on at 3:10 locally. Here is today's Murderer's Row via the Twins twitter feed: Couple of notes: (1) Mauer is 1-for-13 since taking the foul ball off of his left knee and has not yet hit a line drive in 15 plate appearances this month. (2) Twins lineup does not much experience with Mariners starter Hector Noesi. Willingham has the most plate appearances (4) and doe not have a hit against him. (3) That nine hits in four…

Can someone post lineups when they're available? I'm heading out of town in a few hours.

Red hot Wednesday evening spring training action, guaranteed to hold your attention for at least an inning or two Excitement abounds as the Oriole lineup features former Twin stalwarts Casilla, Valenica and Jason Pridie Scoreless after 1.

Split squad. Coaches went with the B-team and minor leaguers up to Bradenton. A-team staying back and playing Baltimore B-team. Polanco just hit a granny. Buxton having good at bats. Hughsie getting roughed up a little.
