The Minnesota Twins have started a series of new commercials entitled "Sorta Deep Thoughts from Twins Territory", which seems to be a take on the Saturday Night Live classic "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey" series.
This commercial features thoughts from catcher Joe Mauer and manager Ron Gardenhire.

FORT MYERS, Fla. Twins right-hander Jason Marquis labored through his first Grapefruit League start on Monday, lasting just 1 23 innings against Boston. He gave up four runs on three hits and walked three batters.
Friday's start against St. Louis was a bit more encouraging for Marquis, who allowed one run on three hits in three innings of work. He didn't labor as deep into...

FORT MYERS, Fla. With the New York Yankees in town, the Minnesota Twins rolled out what looked like a potential Opening Day lineup -- for a few hours, at least.
Center fielder Denard Span was scratched from the lineup with a stiff neck just before game time. Span played in just 70 games last season due to a concussion and has also been hampered by vestibular neuritis during his...

FORT MYERS, Fla. Ben Revere's speed nearly got him in trouble last year.
As he laced a triple to right field during a mid-July game at Target Field, Revere sprinted around second base and headed for third. But the Twins outfielder was seemingly going too fast and stumbled over his own feet. After a nifty somersault, Revere popped back up in stride and slid safely into third...

Deadspin does something interesting in the way of telling a story of the weight fluctuations of so many of those across Major League Baseball compared to last season.
This isn’t just limited to players. Mike Sciosia lost 38 pounds, topping the leader board. Pablo Sandoval is up 25 pounds. Joe Mauer is up 30.
It’s an interesting read with the short summary of how the said player...
