This should be a hell of a series. Lots of runs. Perez, I hope you play as good as your last start.

[Maxbialystock]

Game starts at 2:10 pm EDT.

 

High temp today 46 or 47 degrees fahrenheit.

It's projected to snow there tomorrow. MN shouldn't have opening day until May.

I am on spring break, so I will be scoring this game today while I listen on radio. Gives me something to do. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing

I have a 90 mile commute today and need to navigate around Miami traffic. I'll be listening from probably the 4th inning on.

 

Do you actually score the game? I haven't scored a game since I had PAWSOX season tickets back in 1991.

But that would make them snowflakes.

Yeah I bought a scorebook on Amazon last week. Used to always score games I went to as a kid. The current desire is fueled by my rejuvenation for the sport this year

Make sure you shade in at least one more diamond than the Twins... every game would be great, but we'll settle for 3 outta 4.

[moonslav59]

1. EHern LF

2. Vaz DH

3. JD RF

4. Bogey SS

5. Devers 1B (no, just kiddin- 3B it is)

6. Renfroe CF

7. Arroyo 2B

8. Dalbec 1B

9. Plawecki C

 

Some head scratchers on positioning players on defense and line-up slots, but I'm not complaining or criticizing.)

LF at Target is larger than RF. Maybe it's a big enough difference that he feels Kiké's speed is needed more in LF than CF? Could also do with how the ball carries and which way the wind is blowing on a cool day in Minneapolis.

That makes sense. Maybe Cora just wants players to get time at different positions, in case they may be needed there for a longer term, later.

Well I have an afternoon tee time both tomorrow and Wednesday, so at best I will only be doing 2 games of this series

Maybe a priority adjustment is needed.

You're blessed to live in relatively nice weather year round. Any day you can get 55 or higher and dry this time of year, you have to cash in on it. Sadly, I will be going myself, to get used to how it's going to be when I first move to Boston this summer

[Thunder]

How I will always remember J.A. Happ:

Maybe? I know Renfroe and Kiké have the same sprint speed according to statcast. Renfroe is faster than he looks.

[TylerD]

Going to bed Perez to pitch a pretty strong game. If he could give us 6 innings and keep it to 3 or less runs would be fantastic. Minnesota has a great offense and this will likely be a high scoring series. Will need our starters to try and take some pressure off

The bullpen and the offense to stay hot.

Well, Perez is known to sneak a quality start past the rest of us. Man is a machine who just goes about his business. Respect the grind

Kike has plus metrics in CF.

 

Like I said, I'm not complaining- just wondered.

Yup! We will need that today

[mvp 78]

Only the 10th time Vaz has hit 2nd. He's only hit lead off once in his career. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/BOS/BOS202009200.shtml

[mvp 78]

Delayed.

[Jasonbay44]

Ugh weather delay. I hope they can play today. I’m having a rare off day where I can actually watch a weekday day game

[Jasonbay44]

Postponed due to potential riots in the area

[Thunder]

The one day I decide to score...

[TylerD]

6 degrees and rainy. Damn that’s ugly to play in.

Not weather related. PPD due to safety concerns in light of recent events, to put it diplomatically

The best thing about the state of Minnesota is the number of talented rock artists who were born there.
