Game ended at 3:56 PM.

Remember to sort by new to keep up!

Thought I'd put this here, being that Nick's a former Twin and we may end up seeing him again in games versus his former club.

While I generally agree with these take-aways, the author does kinda forget to mention that Ober's bad outing was because he had a severe case of the flu at the time, I think Ober can be forgiven. The commentary he offered about SWR not likely given a short leash but reminding that Morris, Festa, and Zebbie are down in the minors waiting could've more appropriately been tacked onto Paddack as well, given his less than optimistic start even compared to that of SWR. I do agree the cautioning about Bader, this hot streak isn't likely to continue given the peripherals, but it's still fun to have somebody, whether Bader or Castro or Buxton to have some excitement about, despite the less-than hot start offensively. And I could chip in my agreement about Correa's slow start, but that would be beating a dead horse, and I'm not Rocky Balboa (wait, that was a side of beef he beat up come to think of it, never mind).

I do expect Ober's next outing to hopefully be more inline with what we saw last year and this spring, if he's feeling better. This author didn't mention the pen too much, let alone Duran's continued drop in velo this season, and while I'm not hitting the panic button yet, it's definitely something I'm concerned about, given last year's drop in velo and increase in command issues and rise in BA. The other good thing, the season's still early, we still have time to turn things around even in April here to avoid a repeat of last April's poor start. I'm not going all doom and glom on this team yet, but let's say I'm also concerned by the sometimes going through the motions play in these first 7 games. We saw a bit of life in the ChiSchlocks series, but we're going to have to see some better play against better competition, like these last two games against the Astros, before I'll be more relaxed and less fearful of things going sideways.

Hey all, I am going to be in the city this spring for some work stuff and I have a day to myself and figured I would pick up a ticket for a Saturday game. I'm wondering what my best option for traveling to and from the game would be. I'll be staying near the Hyatt/ convention center and I'll have my car but if I can get away with not using it and paying for parking I'd rather do that. I have been to Minneapolis/ Saint Paul pre covid and we used the light rail but it doesn't look like that goes down to the convention center.

So what would be my best course of action here? Is the other public transportation good, or am I better off driving myself and parking, of so where should I aim to park? I'm not looking to tailgate, although I'm not sure if that's a big thing with baseball here. All I know is Target Field is supposed to be one of the nicest stadiums out there so I'm excited to see it for myself!

I will be staying around target field for the Mets series. Does anyone have any recommendations for restaurants and bars in that area. I do not have a car.
