I had the same exact reaction to that comment.

I laughed.

Yeah ... unless they know something they aren't reporting, but it doesn't sound like it. There seems to be a pretty large suspicious net being thrown on the pilot. While I get they need to investigate everything, this aspect seems to be heightened in the reporting, and all I can think is his poor parents. But it sounds like we may know something sooner rather than later ... something has been spotted by Australian satellites ... weather permitting, maybe something will be discovered. (I'm being careful not to say it's debris, as this is what they suspect it might be, but who knows.)

So do we all.

I've been slating him as the 5th starter but there is a lot if Deduno love out there for him to be the 5th. But the Twins have not been starting Deduno at all and using him in relief so I think the 5th spot is between Gibson and Diamond and I sure hope it's Gibson

The replay I saw looked like he got him. Pinto looked as if he thought so, too. But Gibson took care of the batter so no matter.

I still think Gibson will be the 5th starter, but then what do they do with Diamond? Stick him in the pen, too? Dunno. But I just don't think Deduno will last as a starter but maybe on occasional spot starts.

I didn't see who else was slated to pitch today. Personally, I think Deduno is headed for the pen, at least to start the season, but we'll see.

I'm not sure who will be watching/listening today after last night, but it's a new day and life goes on. And it's only ST after all, so here we go. Twins: SP, Gibson Aaron Hicks (S) CF Jason Bartlett ® 3B Chris Colabello ® DH Oswaldo Arcia (L) RF Wilkin Ramirez ® LF Chris Parmelee (L) 1B Josmil Pinto ® C Eduardo Escobar (S) 2B Pedro Florimon (S) SS Cards: SP, Martinez Matt Carpenter (L) 3B Kolten Wong (L) 2B Matt Holliday ® DH Allen Craig ® RF Yadier Molina ® C Jhonny Peralta ® SS Matt Adams (L) 1B Peter Bourjos ® CF Stephen Piscotty ® LF Let's play ball!

Took me a while to find an image with his number on it:

uh huh ... you go ... er ... Dozier's head and the Kool-Aid man.

And, Willi ... can I just say ... I can't believe you still​ have that avatar!

sigh. hope the game is better on Friday ... it's the last one before heading back north. heading back north. sigh.

Left the game after the 6th. Parents couldn't take it any more.

geeeeeeeeez ....

Yeah. I really thought that ball was gone

I want to see a replay of that catch when I get home

I'm not sitting out there but here's a pic of it:

Well ...

I want Hammer to hit the berm in left

And in he comes

Swarzak is warming up

My vantage to tonight's game. Batting practice is done and they are readying the field.

Okay, I refuse to call this a 'pre-season.' It's Spring Training. Here are the lineups: I was was trying to be creative but y'all can tilt your heads sideways, yes? I'm here. It's beautiful, sunny and 75 degrees. More later ... chatter on!

Okay, let's step back a little and tone it down. I think there are good reasons for Hicks to go north with the Twins or to start the season in Rochester. Agree to disagree and keep the discourse civil and on track.
