The Twins played a baseball game today and you can read all about that right here. The more important thing is that Miguel Sano is hurt and we are all freaking out, man. We’re freaking out! Here’s a bunch of tweets about it and more.

Rob Antony on Miguel Sano: "They’ll take a look at it. We’ve got to figure out what the degree is, then we have to make a decision.

Antony on Sano: "We knew it wasn’t going to be (known) until he started getting into games. It’s not anything that’s a complete utter shock"

Antony: "(Sano) came in and they asked him how did that feel and he said he felt it a little bit on that one. So they took him out."

Rob Plummer, Miguel Sano's agent, fears the worst: "I have a feeling this is more than nothing." #MNTwinshttp://t.co/gptFwNFxxA

Oh and to make matters worse, we thought the curse bullet also hit Byron Buxton for a moment.
On the plus side, Byron Buxton is fine after grabbing at his hamstring as he crossed the bag with his first hit of the spring. #MNTwins

Gardy noticed Byron Buxton touch his leg after infield 1B & thought, "Oh, (bleep). Sano, Buxton - out. He pulled a hammy. But no, he's OK."

Pedro Florimon might not be healthy for Opening Day. Could Stephen Drew be an option?
Oh, btw: #mntwins SS Pedro Florimon (appendix) could still open the year on DL. AGM Rob Antony said it's going to be close. Could backdate.

Here’s who’s starting on the mound for the Twins the next couple of days.
#mntwins announce Scott Diamond will start Saturday's spring home opener vs. BOS. Ricky Nolasco will go Sunday at #Rays

Mike Pelfrey is kind of funny!
Mike Pelfrey on quicker pace: "I want to try to get through an inning without maybe the outfielders' or infielders' feet going numb."
