It's the first game of the year, we need a thread. Pete Abe will be live blogging (yay).

Edit: Iglesias is batting 1.000 this spring!!

Middle of the 1st: There are no umpires, so Twins coach Steve Liddle is behind the plate. Iglesias ripped the first pitch up the middle. Lin then grounded into a double play. Lavarnway crushed a pitch over the fence in left. Kroeger grounded to second.

Lotta good things in that paragraph. I guess our only real concern is whether Igelsias and Lavarnway will end up splittng the vote for ROY.

pitching has sucked, defense has sucked, base running has sucked.

nice job, bobby.

edit: 1-2-3 inning for Mortensen. Finally someone playing with a little passion.

Sox down 4-1 in middle of 5th



Dinkelman singled and Bates homered off the scoreboard in left center. Dozier then sigled before Carlson got a double play grounder and struck out Florimon.

From the Extra Bases Blog

Middle of the 6th: Twins 6, Red Sox 4: The Sox roughed up Carlos Gutierrez as Nate Spears ripped a two-run triple. But when Anderson walked, the inning was stopped. Damn B game rules. The Sox had runners on first and third at the time.

Not that it counts but what are the rules that stop an inning like this?

Pitch count. You don't change pitchers in the middle of an inning in a B game

Thanks.

Out of curiosity...why? Is the strain of warming up during an inning to much this early in the year? (Not trying to be sarcastic, I actually don't know).

There are only nine pitchers there.

Middle of the 5th, Twins 4, Red Sox 2:

Facing Jeff Bulger. Middlebrooks walked and went to third on a double by Anderson. Linares' sac fly scored the run. Tejeda struck out and Hassan grounded back to the pitcher.

After "play ball," probably the two best words of the day.
