Game Thread: Twins vs Cleveland @ 1:10PM PT (3:10PM CT)

[Cap'n Piranha]

TIBN just ran a radio commercial that started out "Well, there's the end of the inning."

 

Feels like pretty shoddy ad slotting to me.

My first MLB.com complaint of the year.  They have not figured out how to embed the radio player into Gameday, so I have to have two separate tabs.  Not a huge deal, just feels like something they should be able to figure out.

Twins fans who are out of town and watch the game on reddit. Do you have a specific stream you trust and like to use? Since I'm moving back to MN in about a month I decided not to get MLB.tv this season but would still like to watch the games.

I am hoping you will still take time to post here and contribute to TD after you make it as a big time commentator.

 

He's already a radio host, where does he find hte time?

Does the radio broadcast sync up well with the TV broadcast? I have tried doing that with Vikings football games, because TV analysts are bad... But radio is 6-7 seconds ahead of TV.

Did we win yet?

I'm in Seattle, so the only time I see the TV broadcast is when it's the Free Game of the Day.  In the past, every game has been so designated on opening day, but not this year.  Cheap-ass Manfred.

I'm on the couch!

At the game on a couch? AWESOME

It certainly looks weird, but I wouldn't say worse. I do really wish they would have added a better OBP guy among all these new faces. Gonna be a lot of boom or bust.

With Grossman and Mauer the Twins were right at league average for OBP.     Without them the teams we would be above are White Sox, Royals, Tigers and Orioles.   The 6 teams with the best records last year had the top 6 OBP.      I hope I am wrong but I think OBP is going to be a big issue with this team.

173-0 here we come!

Can't win them all if we don't win the first one.   Go Twins!

On MLB.TV you just click the "Broadcasts" button and can select your feed....

Which do you think will be the bigger issue for this team; OBP or OPP?

Baseball is here.  Golf can't be more than a month away.

Yes, I know how to do that.  When you try and listen, it plays it in a tab in which you cannot also view Gameday--it only shows the player.

GEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTT REEEEEEEEEEADY!!!!

[RatherBeGolfing]

The journey to World Series title starts... right now.

 

First pitch is a strike down the middle

 

Let's go

[Cap'n Piranha]

Don't look now, but the Twins pitching staff is on pace to be the best of all time.

[Cap'n Piranha]

Cy Berrios!!!

I was actually scanning for this post when I first read the thread.  I was disappointed when it was not there yet, but glad you came through.

I'm down with OPP.

What happens if we look?

 

I just borrowed the remote at a bar and turned it over to the game... Saw an inning ending K (would reverse it if i knew how)

[RaoulDuke]

Baseball is finally back! 

 

Berrios eating them up w/o throwing a curve is a fun sight.  Maybe Santana got a lil time in with him on his change as well it was looking even better than I remember.

[Cap'n Piranha]

Yeah you know me?

[Cap'n Piranha]

Always good when your first two batters make outs on 3 pitches total.

[Cap'n Piranha]

Don't look now, but the Twins lineup is on pace to be the worst of all time.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Full inning in, 0-0.

 

Oh yeah, have i missed any Mad March excitement?

[bighat]

Suspect 1st inning from the Twins batters. Not discouraged - these guys are just jumping out of their shoes right now with some first game energy.

And i can't hear the phrase "cover a lot of ground" without thinking it is an obesity euphemism...
