Welcome, Simmons! Make yourself at home!

What i miss today?

Following in the footsteps of David Ortiz. Danny's gonna hit up a storm! If i root for him, am i just rooting for a Red Sock?

In play, out(s) Oh well. Tampa Bay claims victory, 5-2.

Broxton up with bases loaded, down 3 w/ 2 outs in the final inning!

Yeah, i saw that we had 2 errors in the first inning, and Maeda pitched around them. Glad we got a him a few more pitches in to work on things...

"...all will once again be right with the world." I am pleased with this sentiment.

Did we just have an example of inning called on account of pitch count?

A baseball equivalent of the rope-a-dope? Let's take note how that works, so we know if we can safely implement it later in the season...

Still needing a tune up? Remember, good vibrato can hide a lack of perfect pitch...

A Garver homerun the difference in the game after 2. Good to see. Or at least read about on the gameday. Addendum edit: Double Ninja'd. Beat that!

Er... decisive? Sorry for my poor spelling yesterday. Today? Boston: 0. Nick Pivetta (R ) P 1. Enrique Hernandez (R ) SS 2. Marwin Gonzalez ( S ) 2B 3. J.D. Martinez (R ) DH 4. Rafael Devers ( L) 3B 5. Hunter Renfroe (R ) RF 6. Christian Vazquez (R ) C 7. Bobby Dalbec (R ) 1B 8. Cesar Puello (R ) LF 9. Michael Gettys (R ) CF Minnesota: 0. Jose Berrios (R ) P 1. Luis Arraez ( L) 2B 2. Mitch Garver (R ) C 3. Nelson Cruz (R ) DH 4. Jake Cave ( L) CF 5. Kyle Garlick (R ) LF 6. Brent Rooker (R ) RF 7. Andrew Romine ( S ) SS 8. Tzu-Wei Lin ( L) 3B 9. Aaron Sabato (R ) 1B We got this! They are following the age old strategy of batting the second baseman second. We are 1upping them by batting ours first! But their second baseman does seem familiar... Anyway, i may end up bein' too busy to check in on things this afternoon. Y'all may have to bring it home.

6-0 seems rather decicive. At least our winning percentage is well above the pathagorean. Sorry i didn't check in earlier...

Er... Oh well. First overtime loss. At least it made the home team fans happy.

Wish i knew more about hockey. They seem to be playing up a storm tonight, and against good competition...

Looks like we missed the ol' 1-2-6-2-6 Fielders' choice double play to end the 3rd. Which (myopically) stands as the difference in the game.

You can get a summary by entering Gameday for another game, the click on the Twins game in the top banner. It only offers boxscore and plays, but really that's most of i care about.

One thread to rule them all... Er. Sorry. Got a bit ahead of myself. (Power does tend to go to one's head.) Anyway, seein' as Spring Training Game discussion might not merit the attention to autoarchive threads, or assign new people to introduce every single one of 'em, i figured i'd try to mush it all into one oversized month long thread. Feel free to fix that if ya want. March Day... The 1st of March. We are playing at Tampa Bay, come noonish Minnesota time. And here be the Lineups i came across online. 2020 American League Champ Twins 0. Lewis Thorpe ( L) P 1. Luis Arraez ( L) 2B 2. Ryan Jeffers (R ) C 3. Jake Cave ( L) CF 4. Brent Rooker (R ) LF 5. Trevor Larnach ( L) RF 6. Kyle Garlick (R ) DH 7. Travis Blankenhorn ( L) 1B 8. Andrew Romine ( S ) SS 9. Tzu-Wei Lin ( L) 3B 2020 American League (from the East) Champ Rays 0.

Taylor Walls ( S ) SS 9. Josh Lowe ( L) RF If we can beat them, does that mean we can make the World Series?

Oh, and was lookin' for a place to comment upon the Gophers Basketball season. They had some promise, but lost their guard and seem sunk at this point. But they're the only team to beat Michigan, so that's something.

Ah, value of TruCoat... Ah, the value of TruCoat.

We got as many walks as hits. Wonder what that means?

Winnah!

I'll take it. Not sure how the throwing error played out, but i credit speed as a contributing factor between Celestino, Broxton, and Gordon on the bases. And a sac fly later in the inning for the lead.

Go Gordon! Let's get that run back!

Gotta give credit where credit is due. I heard it on Babylon 5, in the episode Ivonova went out to recruit one of the other ancient races to help against the shadows.
