The best thing that happened during the game is the following:
A fan just yelled at Nolasco: "Give him the heater, Ricky." Great "Major League" reference.

Gardenhire killing any potential fun we could have with Jason Kubel:
Jason Kubel will see time at both corner OF spots this spring, but no first for him. Gardy has no intentions of trying him over there.

#Eddie400/Pedro Florimon update:
Rob Antony reiterated "It's going to be close" to get Florimon ready for Opening Day. #MNTwins

Gardy has a man crush on Danny Santana.
Gardy had lots of good things to say this morning about SS Danny Santana. "I like the hell out of him." #MNTwins

Instant Replay update:
The #MNTwins will test out instant replay at tomorrow's home game. They'll use walkies talkies to convey possible replay situation.
