Exhibition Game Thread: Twins vs Gophers (2/21 @ 5:05pm CT)

[Seth Stohs]

I know, it's a day early... and maybe someone else is already assigned to the game thread... But Do Hyoung Park just posted the lineup for the Twins vs Gophers exhibition game. I got a little excited. I wish this game was on TV because I want to watch this lineup so much!!

 

 

[terrydactyls]

That's the 2025 Twins opening day lineup.

[crapforks]

There will be no video or audio for this, correct?

I'd watch any lineup at this point. I just want to watch baseball with the curtains closed, and pretend the grass outside my house is as green as the grass on the field.

I always assumed that even if people don't have a Twitter account they can still see the tweets. Twitter is a free site and people's tweets are public. It's just a link... Am I wrong?

[Seth Stohs]

That's my understanding...  

[goulik]

So why does it say "Maggi" under Lewis and "Graterol" under Jeffers?

They will replace them later in the game.

[goulik]

 

They will replace them later in the game.

Lol, I thought these were some type of weird reference to former Twins pitchers

For those that access TD at work, a number of companies now block social media sites, so the tweets would not show up.

 

[DocBauer]

I want to watch that game! And I'm even off tomorrow. Real baseball if any sort can not get here quick enough.

[nicksaviking]

Man, I'd love to watch that lineup, even if they all go 0-4!

 

Larnach is healthy isn't he? I only ask because if one were to ask any of the prospect pundits about defensive positions, it appears they'd say that Larnach is less likely to be a future DH than Rooker or Kirilloff.

You are not wrong. Free just doesn't always mean accessible.

Yeah, the good news is the Twins traded Juan, not Brusdar to the Dodgers.

 

The bad news is, the Twins are converting Brusdar into a catcher now.

[Halsey Hall]

Cruz got hit yesterday during live bp, and may not play for a while with a hurting wrist. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Did we win yet?

Ah, hadn't thought of that... My bad!

 

[Seth Stohs]

 

Cruz got hit yesterday during live bp, and may not play for a while with a hurting wrist. 

 

He didn't get in the Twins lineup last year until almost halfway through spring training. Assume that would have been the plan this year too. 

[jkcarew]

 

That's not a lineup. Someone simply copied TD's prospect rankings and took a photo of it.

(...even still has Graterol!)

 

 

I'm pulling for Minnesota.

[Squirrel]

Now I have to decide if I can get there.

[Dave The Dastardly]

 

There will be no video or audio for this, correct?

Russians will broadcast game on Facebook. Is rumor...

Reusse wrote that the Twins and Gophers both embrace analytics fully.

I see radio listed.

Frickin' Baldelli! Rests his regulars WAY too much.

Only checking over lunch, of course.

I hope not. Better win now.

Hadn't realized how much I missed GameThreads!

[Dave The Dastardly]

I see dead people.

 

Well, not really. I think they're zombie baseball fans waiting for the season to get underway. Then they'll come back to life. Sort of.

I found a streaming site for the game
