Two pickoffs at first by Twins pitchers today. Hopefully we see plenty of that this year.

[LwnmwrMan222]

Probably not making the opening day roster when they don't even bother putting your name on your jersey in spring training.

[LwnmwrMan222]

Squibber up the 3rd base line ties the game!!!

[LwnmwrMan222]

Buncha no names taking to the Rays and the boys are in the lead in the bottom of the 8th!!

[LwnmwrMan222]

And ANOTHA hit... it's a hitting clinic!!

FORT MYERS, FLA. – The Twins may have lost a member of the starting rotation for the entire year, and they'll be without two key members of their bullpen, including closer Jhoan Duran, to begin the season.

Anthony DeSclafani was shut down with a right elbow flexor strain and will visit Dr. Keith Meister to evaluate his next steps, which could include elbow surgery, Twins President of Baseball Operations Derek Falvey said Monday.

Duran is sidelined with a moderate right oblique strain, which occurred when he was warming up to throw a live batting practice session Sunday, and he will be placed on the 15-day injured list. Caleb Thielbar, who has yet to pitch in a Grapefruit League game, continues to be slowed by hamstring soreness.

Weird. A guy with a massive list of arm injuries is already likely toast. If only that medical information was available to high-level baseball executives.

[jffl_commish]

Mirand and Larnach sent to AAA. They hurt? Or just don't have it?

[LwnmwrMan222]

Is it already over?

[Hornets]

So am I hearing correctly that new pitcher Anthony DeSciafani is having arm issues? If so isn't that just great?

Bump....absolutely ridiculous that Falvine thought this was going to work.

[weimy froob]

louie and johnnie longhair have to be going north with the big club now. right?

[weimy froob]

[weimy froob]

"here's something positive"

[Hornets]

Is it already over?

A mostly healthy spring for our local 9 has now turned into a "bloodbath!"

2 pitchers down, 1 for the whole season

Buck down with back issues...might miss the season openah


WHAT'S NEXT?!

[Hornets]

LOL....Snell signed with the Giants last night.

Louie Varland got torched today.

Louie Varland got torched today.

Don't want to overreact but Falvine should have left Louie in the bullpen. Last year proved he wasn't up to being a quality starter but he was in fact a high quality reliever. Falvine has really f'd up the starting rotation with their continued fascination in signing right handed pitchers with injury history's that almost immediately get injured....

[William Munny]

Nice.

[Hummdrum]

Willie Mays at age 50 is what we hope Buxton can be this season.

[Hoop Dreams]

Bailey Ober is getting torched again today.

[feekdogg]

Randy Dobnak is going to be the #2 starter by the 4th of July.

[Hummdrum]

As of today the Twins are 30th in the spring training standings at 8-19 and have been out scored by -47 runs.

[Tommy_Hawk]

Good. When they underperform, maybe they'll finally fire Rocco.
