A Look Back: A Fans Recollection Of Past Seasons

With the sports world at a halt for the foreseeable future, I wanted to go back and take a look at memorable moments in Twins history. I started going to at-least 25 games or more in 2013 and have tons of memories at the ballpark in those eight years that followed.

                                2013 Minnesota Twins season:

2013 was very memorable for myself because I went on my first spring training trip in March. I remember my first spring training game on March 13, where the Twins took on the Orioles. Brian Dozier made a great play at second base, which be a foreshadowing moment because we would later become a Gold Glover. The Twins lost the first three games I attended then beat the Pirates on the last day of my trip. April 1st was Opening Day at Target Field. It was a chilly day, but I remained in my seat for the whole game. Vance Worley got the start and pitched fairly well. The Twins couldn’t seem to hit Justin Verlander and the Tigers won 4-2. I returned to the ballpark two days later and Kevin Correia tossed a gem of a game. The Tigers handed a 2-1 lead over to Phil Coke and the Twins rallied in the ninth. Trevor Plouffe led-off with a walk and Brian Dozier singled to right wit one-out. Eduardo Escobar hit a ball to the gap in left-center field that scored pinch-runner Jamey Carroll. Brian Dozier raced all the way around from first base and beat the relay throw to score the game-winning run. It’s still one of my favorite moments that I have been apart of in the stands. My next game was on April 15th on Jackie Robinson Day. Oswaldo Arcia made his Major League debut that night and the Twins beat up on Joe Blanton behind Joe Mauer’s four hits. That spring was a cold one as a Marlins-Twins game was postponed due to snow. They played a doubleheader in 42 degree weather the next day, but I missed both games. The weather warmed up when I went to the April 26th game against the Rangers. Justin Grimm threw seven shutout innings, but the Twins rallied in the ninth with an Oswaldo Arcia three-run home run. Joe Nathan was able to shut the door for the save as the Rangers won. I only went to one game in May of 2013. The Twins hit four home runs to beat the Brewers on May 30th. My next game was on June 14th when the Tigers were back in town. Rick Porcello shut out the Twins in a Tigers 4-0 win. I returned to the ballpark on Father’s Day, but Doug Fister tossed another brilliant game in a Tigers victory. The White Sox were in town to close out the homestand. I went to the game on June 19th and the Twins beat Chris Sale 7-4 that night. The Twins returned home a week later and my sister and I went to the game on June 27th. A quick game ensued as Jeremy Guthrie and Samuel Deduno dueled. The Twins held on for a 3-1 victory at Target Field. The Yankees came to town in early-July. I attended the July 1st game with my cousin and saw the Yankees put up seven runs in the last two innings. That Yankees team had a lot of weird names, but they got the win that night. I returned to the ballpark on the 4th of July. The Yankees put up nine runs that afternoon as the Twins were handed another loss. The All-Star Break came and went and I went to the first game of the second half. It was Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau’s double bobblehead night. A late Joe Mauer RBI single put the Twins ahead 3-2 and Glen Perkins closed the door on the win. Unfortunately, the Twins were off on my birthday and I went to the July 30th game. The Royals got the best of Mike Pelfrey and Ervin Santana got the win. I followed that with a Sunday afternoon game against the Astros. A Oswaldo Arcia homer in the seventh helped the Twins win 3-2. The next time I went to the ballpark is one of my most memorable games. Andrew Albers threw a two-hit shutout against the Indians in his second start as a Twin. Two days later, I went to the Wednesday afternoon match-up. It was a long day as the Indians beat the Twins 9-8 in a twelve-inning affair. Joe Mauer had five hits that day in a losing effort. The Twins had a makeup game the next Monday against the Mets. Dillon Gee threw a game game as the Mets won 6-1. The Royals came back to Target Field in late-August. Andrew Albers threw a great game, but the bullpen gave up five runs later in a 8-1 loss. That September I went to quite a few games. The Blue Jays came to town and R.A. Dickey beat Mike Pelfrey that night. I went to a pair of A’s-Twins games later that week. Josh Willingham hit a late home run in a win on Tuesday night then the A’s put up 18 runs in a win the next night. I remember a Jed Lowrie ball that should have been called foul, but it ended up being a two-run double. The Rays were in town that Friday and Chris Archer shut the Twins out. The last homestand came around and the Twins beat the Tigers on a Josmil Pinto walk-off single. The Indians beat the Twins on Friday night 12-6 in what was my first Zubaz game. I went to the last game of the season that Sunday and Ubaldo Jimenez pitched a gem. The Indians clinched a Wild-Card spot and celebrated at Target Field. I’ll remember 2013 fondly because it was the first year that I went to a lot of games. It was fun remembering my first year in spring training and under the sun at Target Field.

The Vanimal, Vance Worley, is Back in Baseball with the Somerset Patriots

Vance Worley

The “Vanimal” has landed in Somerset, New Jersey, as the Patriots yesterday announced the signing of eight-year Major League veteran pitcher Vance Worley for the 2020 season. 

The Long Beach State University alumnus most recently pitched for Triple-A Las Vegas in the New York Mets organization in 2018 before he took the 2019 season off for personal reasons.

Worley enters his first…

[cinema-tv-etc]

“Just the facts, ma’am” — “Dragnet” (1951 - 1959) (1967 - 1970)

“Ladies and gentlemen: the story you are about to hear is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.” Such a cool opening for one of the most memorable “cop” TV shows of all time. Sgt. Joe  — My name’s Friday. I’m a cop — Friday (Jack Web) and his detective sidekicks (played by Ben Alexander and Harry Morgan) managed to keep us glued to the television with their subtle tactics in apprehending criminals because all they really needed in their quest was... just the facts. So cool. Dum, de, dum, dum! Check out this very cool short video.

“Stifle it, Edith!” — “All In The Family” (1971 - 1979) Archie Bunker (Carroll O’Connor) had a way with words. He called his liberal son-in-law,  “Meathead”and his faithful wife, “Dingbat “ (and he insulted about every stereotype you can name) without getting his hand slapped from the politically correct community. He was so lovable, though, right? Whenever his wife Edith (Jean Stapleton) had an opinion, he managed to stifle her — most of the time. Check out the time she stifled him here.

“Who Loves Ya Baby?” — “Kojak” (1973 - 1978)

Kojak (Telly Savalas) was probably the only New York City detective on TV who made the Tootsie Roll Pop sexy. And, didn’t he start the bald head craze? (OK, Yul Brenner in the “King And I” helped get this trend started).  Who loves Ya, Baby? We do, we do!  (Look here for clip.)

“Good Evening” — Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1955 - 1962)

Maybe you had to be there, but no one could grab an audience with an introduction quite like Alfred Hitchcock. His “series of unrelated short stories covering elements of crime, horror, drama and comedy about people of different species committing murders, suicides, thefts and other sorts of crime caused by certain motivations” kept us coming back for more each week. It seems like seven years just wasn’t enough for this film director and his spell-bounding stories.  Take a look at his one-of-a-kind introductions here.  

“Would you believe... “ — “Get Smart”  (1965 - 1970)

“Get Smart” (battling the forces of KAOS) had an embarrassment of riches in the catchphrase department. Maxwell Smart, Agent 86 (Don Adams) kept his co-hort, Agent 99 (Barbara Feldon) and the Chief (Edward Platt) on the tips of their toes every time he opened his mouth. “Would you believe” these words of wisdom: “Missed it by that much!,” “Sorry about that, Chief,” and “I asked you not to tell me that.” Yes, we would believe anything you say, Agent 86. Take a peek at these “Get Smart” funniest moments here.

“To the moon, Alice!” — “The Honeymooners/The Jackie Gleason Show” (1951 - 1959) Who could forget the wild and crazy antics of New York City bus driver Ralph Kramden (Jackie Gleason), sarcastic wife Alice Kramden (Audrey Meadows), NYC sewer worker, Ed Norton (Art Carney) and his wife Trixie (Joyce Randolph)? These four feisty Brooklyn residents tested each others patience on a daily basis which was the reason millions of viewers tuned in once a week. Needless to say, Alice Kramden knew how to draw blood which is why Ralph gave her the what for... “One of these days, Alice, you’re going to the moon!”   “Just One more thing...” — “Colombo”  (1971 - 2003)

Peter Falk made “Colombo” a household name with his unique way of solving the “whodunit” mystery in this clever television detective show. The Fashion Police would have a field day with this disheveled, cigar-smoking detective. (Oh, that rumpled, beige raincoat... how we loved it.) The criminal always thinks he/she has the upper hand in the investigation only to be caught up in the web of Colombo’s increasingly intrusive presence. Just when the suspect thinks all is well,  the polite detective (who always gets his man/woman), has “just one more thing“ to ask.

“Goodnight, John Boy” — “The Waltons”  (1971 - 1981)

This Great Depression Virginia mountain family sure knew how to grab our hearts. Each episode focuses on the “family of John Walton Jr. (known as John-Boy), his parents, John and Olivia Walton, their seven children, and John’s parents Zebulon “Zeb” and Esther Walton. John-Boy (Richard Thomas) is the eldest of the children (17 years old in the beginning), who becomes a journalist and novelist. In the signature scene that closes almost every episode, the family house is enveloped in darkness, save for one, two or three lights in the upstairs bedroom windows. Through voice-overs, two or more characters make some brief comments related to that episode’s events, and then bid each other goodnight, after which the lights go out.”

“Let’s be careful out there.” — “Hill Street Blues” (1981 - 1987)

“Hill Street Blues“is an American serial police drama that chronicled the lives of the staff of a single police station located on the fictional Hill Street, in an unnamed large city, with ‘blues’ being a slang term for police officers for their blue uniforms.”  In the opening, Sgt. Phil Esterhaus  (Michael Conrad) does the police roll call, concluding with his signature line: “Let’s be careful out there.”

“May God bless.” — “The Red Skelton Show” (1951 - 1971)

“The Red Skelton Show” was mainly known for the comedy sketches performed by Red himself which included an array of comedic characters (Clem Kadiddlehopper, San Fernando Red, George Appleby and Freddie the Freeloader). He also had guest star performers including John Wayne, Phyllis Diller, Jack Benny... the list goes on forever. His opening monologue often included his two favorite seagulls, Gertrude and Heathcliff. At the end of each show, he ended it with thoughts that went something like this.

“Lucy! You got some ‘splainin’ to do!” — “I Love Lucy” (1951 - 1957) That crazy redhead we affectionately know as Lucy Ricardo (Lucille Ball) was never at a loss for words... or hair brained, good-natured mischief. Her cohort, Ethel Mertz (Vivian Vance) was somewhat skeptical at times to play along, but the two BFFs made life interesting for their respective spouses, Ricky (Desi Arnaz) and Fred (William Frawley) to say the least. When Lucy tested Ricky’s patience one too many times, he screamed the only phrase that came to mind (each time): “Lucy, You got some ‘splainin’ to do!” Don’t we all use that phrase ocassionally when we get pissed at our significant others (no matter what gender they are)?

“Yada, Yada, Yada” — “Seinfeld” (1989 - 1998)

Let’s give a big round of applause to Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld), Elaine Benes (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), George Costanza (Jason Alexander) and Cosmo Kramer (Michael Richards) for giving us the best nine sitcom seasons of our lives. Did you know it was actually George’s new girlfriend, Marcy, who came up with the “yada, yada, yada” expression? If you don’t do anything else today, watch this Seinfeld montage.  

“Come On Down!” — “The Price Is Right“ (1956 - 1965) (1972 - Present)

I don’t care how old you are, you have heard — at one time in your life — a game show announcer say, “Come on down!” You know the game show: “The Price Is Right.” And you know the master of all game shows: Bob Barker. The point is, no matter what year you were born, somewhere, on some network, “The Price Is Right” has been on your radar. Unless you live in a third world country. Check out this “Come on down!” video with Bob Barker.

“Sock it to me.” — “Rowan and Martin’s Laugh In” (1967 - 1973) The comedy team of Dan Rowan and Dick Martin hosted this psychedelic, fast-moving comedy series that featured series regulars Lily Tomlin, Ruth Buzzi, Judy Carne, Goldie Hawn, Arte Johnson, Jo Ann Worley, Gary Owens, Alan Sues and Henry Gibson. Judy Carne became the butt of the joke when she said, “Sock it to me.” They doused her with water or gently assaulted her with rubber objects. Be careful what you say out there.

“Dy-no-mite!” — “Good Times” (1974 - 1979) “Good Times“ lets us in on the lives of Florida (Esther Rolle) and James Evans   (John Amos) and their three children, J.J. (Jimmie Walker), Thelma (Bern Nadette Stanis) and Michael (Ralph Carter). “Episodes of Good Times deal with the characters’ attempts to survive in a high rise project building in Chicago, despite their poverty” ... and hilarity ensues. Fess up, you know you said the word “Dy-n-Mite!” every time something good happened in your life back in the day, thanks to the adorable J.J. (Although nobody says it better!)

“God will get you for that!” — “Maude” (1972 - 1978)

Who remembers that “Maude“ was a spin-off from “All In The Family?” Yes, Maude (Bea Arthur) was Edith’s cousin —  who  somehow got the spunk gene in the family.  And who remembers that Maude was a “liberal, independent woman living in Tuckahoe, NY with her fourth husband, Walter (Bill Macy)?” And if you didn’t know all that... (say it).

“De Plane, De Plane” — “Fantasy Island” (1977 - 1984)

Picture it: a remote tropical island resort where all your dreams come true. Well, not exactly. There were glitches in those wishes. Mr. Roarke (Ricardo Montalban ), assisted by his adorable miniature side-kick Tattoo (Hervé Villechaize) had the best of intentions of making his guests live out their fantasies, but what kind of show would that be if everything were perfect? You could count on one thing. The beginning of each episode,  a plane arrived with their (we’re presuming rich) guests. Tattoo always alerted Mr. Roarke, by pointing up to the sky, announcing: “De Plane, de plane!” Welcome to Fantasy Island.

“What U Talkin’ ‘bout Willis?” — “Different Strokes” (1978 - 1986)

“Different Strokes” starred Gary Coleman and Todd Bridges (Arnold and Willis Jackson), Conrad Bain (Phillip Drummond) and Dana Plato (Kimberly Drummond) who were perhaps one of the first racially mixed families on television.  Arnold didn’t hold back when Willis came up with some bizarre and/or surprise monologue that got his goat. “What u talkin’ ‘bout, Willis?”  Too cute!

“Book ‘em, Danno.” — “Hawaii Five-0” (1968 - 1980)

This may be my all-time favorite detective show based in Hawaii (sorry “Magnum P.I.”). And it may well just be because of one of my all-time favorite detective catchphrases: “Book ‘em Danno.” Detective Steve McGarrett (Jack Lord) worked so well with Danny Williams (James MacArthur) in each episode to put the bad guys in hand cuffs. (And who didn’t love that theme song!? Check it out here and turn the volume up and enjoy!)

“Say the secret word and win a hundred dollars.” — “You Bet Your Life” (TV version, 1950 - 1961)

Groucho Marx was probably the first choice to host this quiz show that featured a show chocked full of competitive questions — and some hilarious conversation. As it turns out, the comedian was the perfect host. As in all quiz shows, there is money to be won. But, with the right “word,” a contestant could win an extra hundred big ones. All they had to do was say the secret word. Easy Not so fast. How many words are in the English language? But we loved to hear Groucho announce: “Say the secret word and win a hundred dollars.” Sometimes they did. And that was seriously exciting.

“Say goodnight, Gracie” — “The George Burns And Gracie Allen Show“ (1950 - 1958)

Atlanta Prosecutor Appears to Move Closer to Trump Inquiry

Mr. Worley said he would introduce the motion based on an outside complaint filed with the state election board by John F. Banzhaf III, a George Washington University law professor.

Mr. Banzhaf and other legal experts say Mr. Trump’s calls may run afoul of at least three state criminal laws. One is criminal solicitation to commit election fraud, which can be either a felony or a misdemeanor.

There is also a related conspiracy charge, which can be prosecuted either as a misdemeanor or a felony. A third law, a misdemeanor offense, bars “intentional interference” with another person’s “performance of election duties.”

“My feeling based on listening to the phone call is that they probably will see if they can get it past a grand jury,” said Joshua Morrison, a former senior assistant district attorney in Fulton County who once worked closely with Ms. Willis. “It seems clearly there was a crime committed.”

He noted that Fulton County, which encompasses much of Atlanta, is not friendly territory for Mr. Trump if he were to face a grand jury there.

The inquiry, if it comes to pass, would be the second known criminal investigation of Mr. Trump outside of federal pardon power. He is already facing a criminal fraud inquiry into his finances by the Manhattan district attorney, Cyrus R. Vance Jr. Even Georgia’s Republican governor, Brian Kemp, does not have the power to pardon at the state level, though it’s not assured that he would issue a pardon anyway, given his frayed relationship with Mr. Trump. Nonetheless, in Georgia, pardons are handled by a state board.

The question of whether or not to charge the nation’s 45th president would present a unique challenge for any district attorney. Ms. Willis, who took office only days ago, is a seasoned prosecutor not unaccustomed to the limelight and criticism. A graduate of Howard University and the Emory University School of Law in the Atlanta area, she is the first woman, and the second African-American, to hold the job of top prosecutor in Fulton County, Georgia’s most populous, with more than one million residents.

Week Eight injury report roundup

Getty Images

Week Eight of the 2018 NFL season kicked off on Thursday with a Texans win and it continues with 12 more games on Sunday, which means that the 24 teams in those games submitted their final injury reports of the week on Friday.

Questionable players are uncertain to play, doubtful players are unlikely to play and out should be self-explanatory. Players who are on active rosters and don’t appear below should be considered healthy enough to play barring any announcements on Saturday. The teams playing on Monday night won’t release their injury reports until Saturday and are not listed here.

With that housekeeping out of the way, here are all the injury reports for Sunday.

Jaguars vs. Eagles (in London)

The Jaguars ruled out cornerbacks A.J. Bouye (calf) and Tyler Patmon (neck) before leaving for London and then added RB Leonard Fournette (hamstring) and TE James O'Shaughnessy (hip) to the list on Friday. CB D.J. Hayden (toe) is listed as doubtful.

The Eagles also ruled out some players before traveling this week. RB Darren Sproles (hamstring), CB Sidney Jones (hamstring) and LB Nathan Gerry (ankle, knee) stayed behind while S Corey Graham (hamstring) was ruled out on Friday. DT Haloti Ngata (calf) could play after being listed as questionable.

Jets at Bears

The Jets ruled WR Quincy Enunwa (ankle) out earlier this week. WR Robby Anderson (ankle) and CB Trumaine Johnson (quad) are expected to miss the game after drawing doubtful tags. C Spencer Long (finger, knee) was initially listed as doubtful, but got upgraded to questionable before the final report was issued. T Kelvin Beachum (back), CB Morris Claiborne (shoulder, foot), S Marcus Maye (thumb) and LB Kevin Pierre-Louis (foot) are also listed as questionable.

LB Khalil Mack (ankle) and WR Allen Robinson (groin) are questionable to play for the Bears. G Eric Kush (neck) has been ruled out.

Broncos at Chiefs

The Broncos listed LB Von Miller (ankle) as questionable, but head coach Vance Joseph ended any suspense by saying that he’ll play. T Jared Veldheer (knee), S Darian Stewart (neck), WR DaeSean Hamilton (knee) and RB Royce Freeman (ankle) have all been ruled out. OL Nico Falah (concussion) and LB Brandon Marshall (knee) join Miller in the questionable category with LB Shane Ray (ankle, wrist) as the only doubtful player.

C Mitch Morse (concussion) is the only player ruled out for the Chiefs, but you can bet on S Eric Berry (heel) and LB Justin Houston (hamstring) missing the game as well. They are listed as doubtful and have missed multiple games after receiving the same tag.

Browns at Steelers

Browns WR Rashard Higgins (knee), LB Joe Schobert (hamstring) and DB E.J. Gaines (concussion) will all miss Sunday’s game. C JC Tretter (ankle) and DB Damarious Randall (groin, ankle) are questionable after returning to practice on Friday.

The Steelers did not issue any injury designations as they return from the bye week without injury issues.

Buccaneers at Bengals

Buccaneers DT Gerald McCoy (calf) and DE Vinny Curry (ankle) will both miss their second straight game. They are the only players on the final injury report of the week.

The Bengals ruled out six players on Friday. LB Vontaze Burfict (hip), RB Giovani Bernard (knee), TE Tyler Kroft (foot), CB Darqueze Dennard (sternoclavicular), WR John Ross (groin) and LB Nick Vigil (knee) make up that group. C Billy Price (foot) is getting closer to a return, but a doubtful listing means it is unlikely to happen this weekend.

Seahawks at Lions

CB Neiko Thorpe (groin) and G Jordan Simmons (calf) are out for the Seahawks. DE Rasheem Green (ankle) is listed as questionable.

The Lions listed DE Ziggy Ansah (shoulder) as questionable again this week. He’s missed the last five games. RB Theo Riddick (knee) is out for the second straight week and LB Jarrad Davis (calf) joins Ansah in the questionable group.

Ravens at Panthers

CB Marlon Humphrey (thigh) and T James Hurst (back) are both out again for the Ravens. G Alex Lewis (neck) is set to miss a second straight game as well after being listed as doubtful. G Bradley Bozeman (calf), DB Anthony Levine (hamstring), CB Jimmy Smith (groin) and CB Anthony Averett (hamstring) are listed as questionable.

The Panthers ruled out WR Torrey Smith (knee) and LB Andrew Smith (hamstring). S Rashaan Gaulden (ankle) is considered doubtful to play on Sunday.

Washington at Giants

The Giants traded two defensive starters this week and will be down a third after ruling out LB Alec Ogletree (hamstring). WR Jawill Davis (concussion) has been ruled out as well.

RB Chris Thompson (ribs/knee), WR Paul Richarson (shoulder/knee) and CB Quinton Dunbar are listed as questionable for Washington. WR Jamison Crowder (ankle) will miss another game.

Colts at Raiders

The Colts have ruled out WR Ryan Grant (ankle), S Malik Hooker (hip), TE Erik Swoope (knee) and RB Robert Turbin (shoulder). S Clayton Geathers (neck), RB Marlon Mack (ankle), WR Zach Pascal (head), DE Jabaal Sheard (abdomen) and K Adam Vinatieri (groin) are listed as questionable.

Raiders G Kelechi Osemele (knee) returned to practice Friday and is listed as questionable. CB Daryl Worley (ankle) popped up on the injury report Friday and drew the same tag.

49ers at Cardinals

WR Pierre Garçon (shoulder, knee) is listed as doubtful to play for the 49ers this weekend.  RB Matt Breida (ankle), C Weston Richburg (knee) and CB Richard Sherman (calf) make up the questionable contingent.

The Cardinals will play without S Tre Boston (shoulder, ribs) and G Jeremy Vujnovich (hamstring) for the second straight week. K Phil Dawson (right hip), TE Jermaine Gresham (heel), G Mike Iupati (back), DT Corey Peters (ankle) and G Justin Pugh (hand) are listed as questionable.

Packers at Rams

WR Geronimo Allison (hamstring) is off the Packers injury report, but WR Randall Cobb (hamstring) is listed as questionable. Head coach Mike McCarthy said this week that Cobb is expected to play. WR Equanimeous St. Brown (knee) and T Jason Spriggs (ankle) are also listed as questionable.

WR Cooper Kupp (knee) was listed as doubtful and is expected to sit out for the Rams. LB Trevon Young (back) joins him in that category.

Saints at Vikings

DL Mitchell Loewen (neck) will miss the game for the Saints, but he’s the only player with an injury designation this weekend.

The Vikings have more injury concerns. RB Dalvin Cook (hamstring), S Andrew Sendejo (groin), G Tom Compton (knee), and LB Anthony Barr (hamstring) have been ruled out and T Riley Reiff (foot) is listed as doubtful. There’s a better chance for CB Xavier Rhodes (ankle) and DT Linval Joseph (ankle, knee) after they were listed as questionable.

Vance Worley strikes out Mike Trout swinging to end the top of the 3rd inning

Hi friend! I love love love that you're doing a series on athletes of Asian and Pacific Islander descent. May I humbly suggest pitcher Vance Worley for a future post? He's not quite a superstar, so if you aren't feeling it, I totally understand. But he was the first pitcher I saw toss a major league game, so I'll always have a soft spot for him. Thanks, either way. You rock!

thank you so much! i appreciate the feedback on my series and yes!!! any suggestions you send me is highly recommended and i do not mind at all. i want to represent every athlete of asian and pacific islander descent. if you got more to suggest just let me know :)

Castro Homers In First Spring Win For Twins!

Nationals 2 Twins 5 W-Jorge (1-0) L-Cole (0-1)

The Minnesota Twins returned home Sunday looking for their first win of Spring Training. They let yesterday’s game slip away and squared off against an unfamiliar spring foe this afternoon. The Twins struck first blood today as Eddie Rosario singled with two outs in the second. Chris Gimenez lined a ball down the right field line and Brian Goodwin misplayed the ball. Rosario raced all the way around the bases and scored the game’s first run. The next batter, Jason Castro drilled an AJ Cole offering to deep right field. The ball left the yard for a two-run shot and put Minnesota up by three. The Twins were not done in the second as Byron Buxton walked and stole second base. Jorge Polanco singled him home to end a four-run second inning. The Nats got on the board in the third off Jose Berrios. Chris Heisey hit an RBI groundout and Washington was within three. The Twins would come right back against former Twin Vance Worley in the third. Brian Dozier singled to right and Miguel Sano hit a ground-rule double to left-center. Max Kepler hit into an RBI groundout and the Twins were back up by four. Neither side would score until the ninth as the Nats got something cooking late. Rafael Bautista singled to start the inning then Emmanuel Burris singled to left. Andrew Stevenson grounded out to first, but Bautista scored to cut the Minnesota lead to three. Alex Wimmers would settle down and finished off the Nats to get the win for the Twins.

-Final Thoughts-Trevor May had control issues, but was okay. He went 1 2/3 innings and gave up a hit with two walks and a strikeout. Felix Jorge got the team off the field in the second and received the win for it. Jose Berrios threw two innings and allowed a run. Craig Breslow walked two in the fifth, Fernando Romero struck out two in the sixth, Stephen Gonsalves had a 1-2-3 seventh, Drew Rucinski threw a clean eighth, and Alex Wimmers got in and out of trouble in the ninth. Jason Castro had a big day for his new team. He went 2-for-2 with a homer and two RBI’s. The club hit 1-for-13 with runners in scoring position and left six men on base. Tomorrow, the Miami Marlins come to town. Jose Urena will face Ervin Santana in that one.

Less than two weeks from now, when Nationals pitchers and catchers report to spring training, a strange combination of pitchers will lug their gear into the new clubhouse at Ballpark of the Palm Beaches. The more familiar Nationals will feel right at home, though none has been there before, and many will find their navy blue bags with white W’s already in their locker, and old friends settling in nearby.

But other pitchers will feel less comfortable, their eyes darting around for the right locker, and perhaps an old friend. The need for camaraderie and the realities of competition will confront this year’s crop of non-roster relievers. The Nationals hope a deeper bullpen will result from the collision. The Nationals will try to build depth without gambling on the massive long-term deals even less heralded relievers are commanding this winter. They probably will not find an all-star set-up man. They might find a solid middle-innings reliever. If they do, they will have found great value.

Tuesday, the Nationals announced the signings of veterans Matt Albers and Joe Nathan to minor league deals with invitations to spring training. Both Albers (seven seasons in the majors) and Nathan (377 saves) bring experience and credentials. So do fellow non-roster invitees Neal Cotts, Tim Collins and Vance Worley. Even Jacob Turner, a former first-round pick who has yet to find major league success, brings a big fastball and 79 games of major league experience to his name.
