Ricky matches the goose egg. That's as much detail as i'm going to look at. (Though i was hoping for a "strike 'em out throw 'em out" that didn't quite happen.)

Got food, and missed the top of the inning... Doesn't seem like i missed that much?

Line ups, if you wish... Minnesota Twins: 1) Aaron Hicks (playing Center Field) 2) Eduardo Escobar (playing Shortstop) 3) Eduardo Nunez (playing Second Base) 4) Oswaldo Arcia (playing Left Field) 5) Miguel Sano (playing Third Base) 6) Chris Herrmann (Catching) 7) Josmil Pinto (designated to hit for the Pitcher) 8) Shane Robinson (playing Right Field) 9) Dan Rohlfing (playing First Base) On the Mound) Ricky Nolasco Saint Louis Cardinals: 1) Matt Carpenter (playing Third Base) 2) Jason Heyward (playing Right Field) 3) Matt Holliday (designated to hit for the Pitcher) 4) Jhonny Peralta (playing Short Stop) 5) Yadier Molina (Catching) 6) Mark Reynolds (playing First Base) 7) Randal Grichuk (playing Center Field) 8) Jacob Wilson (playing Second Base) 9) Ty Kelly (playing Left Field) On the Mound) Michael Wacha (gotten off of mlb gameday)

And Oswaldo plates him with a double after his latest hit. Good to score from first on doubles...

Starting with a bang! I like.

I like Grimes on principle. Way to draw the errant throw!

Rosario comes through! Twins take a lead.

I too seem to have missed quite a bit. Looks like a good game! (and lots of highlights on gameday for me to catch up on)

We're facing Dickey to start. When the second wave of players enter, can we hope to see Colabello or Albers? (Who else am i forgetting?)

Yup, pretty cool. Balanced out Hicks getting picked off in the top half of the inning. Florimon was in on that play. And another name leaped out at me while goin' over it: Lombardozzi. (Now i'm going to watch that homerun video)

Sorry, yeah. Parmelee is at first, and behind him in right field is Delmon Young. Parmelee hit a long fly to right that announcers said would been out if the wind were just a bit kinder.

He had a nice charge on a bunt earlier, so it weren't all bad...

Does his hat fall off while fielding?

Does that make this game thread apt? My apologies... Though a bit of humility probably doesn't hurt... much. Catch ya all in the next thread of games.

Boston just took a lead, eh? Off of Pelfrey, though it involved a fielding error. But he got Pedroia out. First time for everything... At least everything that happens.

My burning question for the game: Which pitcher will get a pick-off?

So Odorizzi is pretty good then. But he only pitched 1 inning, probably 'cause he walked two batters. The back to back doubles came off of Andriese. And... Darnell got himself a pick off! Seems like Molitor's attention to details there might be paying off. Or just the runners aren't up to speed yet? Things are going well for the Twins so far.

Odorizzi? Jake... So speaketh mlb gameday. Is he good? I imagine this early in spring training it is heavily fastballs in general.

I'm looking forward to seeing what Schafer does. Well, i guess i'm looking forward to seeing what everyone does, so that doesn't mean quite so much...

Ah, call that game zero, and you'll be consistent. Just like these threads say "2 replies to this topic" and you are post number 3. (Well, now i'm replying, it'll say something different, but you get the idea, i hope)

Ending on a pick off play! Wonder what that says about stopping the run game?

Yup. Still here, though intermittent on taking time to read/post. First inning in which the twins did not plate a run. That's a consistency i can live with...

He kept the ball in the infield for the second inning, so ya might say that's improvement.

I vote for sending him back to the mound. With another 3 run lead.

Hear Hear!
