Assuming tonights game is cancelled and they only play 1 tomorrow. Who pitches on Thursday/Friday? Correia will pitch tomorrow. Then do you just go right back to Worley and Diamond to keep them on track since they are pitching well?

I wonder what the long term problems of full time interleague play will be under the new schedule.

 

If the Twins miss a White Sox game, no big deal. They play 19 times. Even making a game up against the Angels isn't a huge deal, as the teams often play multiple series against each other (though not always at each home park).

 

But making up games against the Mets and Marlins is much harder and the more interleague teams play each other in April, the more likely it is they'll have scheduling problems.

Monday night's game between the Twins and Marlins has been postponed due to a Minnesota snowstorm.

 

Kevin Correia was scheduled to start for the Twins and Ricky Nolasco was supposed to be on the bump for the Marlins. The two teams are going to try to fit in a day-night doubleheader on Tuesday at Target Field, but the forecast currently calls for more wintry weather.

Am I the only one that finds it odd that they moved BACK the start of tomorrow's game?

 

they probably need time to clear off some seating sections. Is MLB scaling back Interleague play? This is only a 2 game series.

Also, I wonder what game FSN is going to carry? the tv schedule says they were to carry the one tonight and no tv for the Tuesday noon game.

The forecast I have read says cold but no precipitation tomorrow. High in the lower forties. It won't be great, but the Twins should get the games in. They may have moved the start back because it won't be a "getaway game" for the Marlins, just a guess.

90 degree ain't that good either. Of course it's a dry heat so you can't feel your skin melt.

 

Glunn has that constant 70 degrees that is hard to beat if you overlook the earthquakes and wild fires.

It is cold here today -- 66 degrees.

 

I think that next season the Twins should play their April games in Beverly Hills.

It seems as though there are scheduling problems fairly often towards the end of the year due to make up games... I kind of wonder if they shouldn't pad the schedule by a few days and add a few off days during Aug/Sept for that purpose.

Brian Duensing is currently dealing with flu-like symptoms.

 

Duensing is scheduled to have an IV this afternoon, so his status isn't yet known. He wouldn't have been available if Monday's game was played.

Considering the past two seasons, you just have to love that at the end of the day today, the Twins have a decent chance of being at the top of the central division.

 

 

 

 

 

(with two wins, and a KC loss to Detroit)

 

lol... What breed of chickens are you counting pre-hatching.

 

It'll be fun to watch that Jose Fernandez kid pitch. He sure looks legit.
