At 2:05 a pitch will be thrown and the baseball season will be opened. The contents of what is inside will slowly spill out and bit by bit the contents will be revealed. We don't know the contents rig

If only there was some sort of scientific device that could have predicted this seconds wave of rain.

FIVE INNINGS INTO THE SEASON, DAVE.

To follow up, you can call this over-reacting all you want.

 

I knew well before this appearance (as did most others) that Fien is not a good pitcher, he has a 3.81 career XFIP in the majors (3.72 as a Twin) and is past the point where he has any real upside. Giving that guy a bullpen spot, much less a key role in the bullpen on a "contending" team is a recipe for a disaster. This terrible 2/3rds of an inning is just further proof. 3.81 is pretty terrible for a RP btw.

 

 

Ditto with putting Sano in RF

Buxton on pace for a zillion strikeouts.

Yeah, I still think starting him in the majors this year is a mistake. I would have liked to see him get some confidence in AAA for a few weeks at the very least.

 

Could have signed Span, could have kept Hicks etc to provide OF/CF depth in meantime.

Dude, there's no defending making snap judgments five innings into opening day. That's all there is to the conversation.

As for your last paragraph, I kinda agree. I didn't want Fien on this team. I don't like the guy and think he's toast.

But five innings. Come on.

Maybe you two should get a room. ;)

I am still concerned about Buxton... I always said last season that Buxton should have never been called up.  That was a huge mistake.  I still think he belongs in the minors.  He, along with Sano and Berrios are the future of the Twins.

One question:

When you know opening day is the next day, what is the point on using any of your major league bullpen arms in the last exhibition game of the season? Especially when said game had a 60-80% chance of rain.

Did they play yesterday? I thought the last game was Sat but honestly, I pretty much checked out on yesterday because the weather was so nice.

Ah yeah, I guess it was Saturday. But Tonkin pitched 50 in a game yesterday.
