  1. I could see Ryan earning a starting job. Thinking Strotman may have more of a reliever future with the arm issues he's had.
  2. Bailey Ober and Griffin Jax?? So....2022 rotation.... 1. Maeda 2. Pineda 3. Ober 4. Jax 5....Not Happ or Shoemaker
  3. Vikings very much so plan on Hill being their opening day LT.... Can I redo my record prediction?
  4. You're telling me that a guy that couldn't make it in Detroit can't make it in Minneapolis? Wait, Detroit is better than we are.
  5. I get we suck, but what team leads off with a guy hitting .209, and then follows him with a guy hitting .168?? I know the guy making the lineup card is incompetent, but isn't there anyone in the organization that looks at his lineup and says, "hey Rock, ummm....you know that Arraez has the best OBP on the team and is more of a slap it to all fields than a big time slugging percentage guy? Wouldn't we want him to get more at bats in the one or two hole?" End rant....
  6. Agreed. Baseball presents a number of smaller nations like Cuba, Dominican Republic, and Venezuela an opportunity to win a medal in a team sport. It will never make sense to me.
  7. The Twins going with this Burrows guy in a nationally televised game is flipping embarrassing. Its gonna be 15-0 before he's out of the game. Seven runs, and he's gotten 4 outs. One more out recorded than homers given up. Give him his first big league start in this situation.....great.
  8. Yup. Which pisses me off because what diving event does China not kill everyone at? I'm surprised they've kept basketball because thats been more dominated by the USA than softball or baseball.
  9. Next they head to France in 2024. And of course baseball is off the docket now because who thinks of baseball when you think of summer sports? Bye to softball and Karate too. Breakdancing.....yes.....breakdancing....will be contested in Paris.
  10. Was sad that you had the absolute best players in the Japanese professional league playing against a bunch of AAA guys and former decent mlb players in the gold medal game. Japan actually paused their professional season so they could make a strong push at gold.
  11. How is there not at least 4 distances of coed synchronized diving left? #chinawasrobbed
  12. I can take Udoh at guard (barely). Rashod Hill as your starting left tackle is no bueno.
  13. You've broken the hearts of over 400 million American kids looking to make it big in synchronized diving and sprint canoeing.....
  14. Glad I stuck it out with Nelly Korda in the women's golf event. There were times I wanted to flip over to basketball, but she came through down the stretch. I was having Amy Olsen nightmares from the major tournament she barely lost after her father-in-law passed. Player from the Orient just went on a tear and birdied a bunch of holes in a row.
  15. Jefferson injured shoulder today, doesn't sound serious, but I'm sure he's out a few days. The o-line still just didn't get addressed enough. Dakota Dozier at guard.....and Samia still on the roster.....thankfully somebody convinced Zim not to take a CB in round 1.
  16. Should have surrounded himself years ago with how awful our offensive line has been.
  17. Cousins returns tomorrow. Zimmer not talking Covid anymore to the dismay of the media who love to get him going. RIP NFL career of Jeff Gladney. Hope it was worth millions and an NFL career to beat up a female.
  18. Zero to do with my Vikings but I love sports tidbits!
  19. I'm hoping to see Mond at some point in the season. Use his athleticism in the red zone, or something like that. I don't even know who the kicker is supposed to be this year.
  20. (Ducks as rocks thrown) @ Bengals.....win @ Cards.....win Seahawks....we always lose to them. Browns.....loss Lions......win @ Panthers....win Cowboys.....win @ Ravens.....loss @ Chargers....win Packers.....win @ 49ers.....loss @ Lions.....win Steelers.....win @ Bears.....loss Rams.....win @ Packers.....loss Bears.....loss There you have it....10-7. Make the playoffs or just miss em. Surprisingly no super bowl again.
  21. Watched the Motzko memorial on a YouTube link, still just torn apart for Bob and family. I'm sure UND will do something for Bob when he and the Gophers visit Thanksgiving weekend. Many kind comments from many in the extended hockey family. Hug your kids folks. They are supposed to bury us, not the other way a around....
  22. Needed a change of scenery IMHO. Numbers not great in Iowa. Heard some scout talk of fighting the puck and then some. Only 18, so maybe getting hung out to dry a couple seasons in the wide open BC may get him on track.
  23. Yup, probably at least a year away. I can't handle another year of Simmons. Let Polanco play short until Royce gets his feet back under him.
  24. The Twins blew it not trading Kepler. Although its at the point where they aren't going to get anything for a .210 hitting poor fielding outfielder who gets hurt more than average. 2022 Twins lineup: 1. Arraez-2B. Just put Polanco at short until Royce is ready. 2. Polanco-SS. Don't let the door hit you Simmons. Royce a year away? 3. Donaldson-3B. Guess nobody wants to take that contract. 4. Buxton-CF. Didn't pay Berrios. Trade while the getting is good? 5. Garver-C. The other two just aren't every day catchers. 6. Kepler-RF. Sigh..... 7. Sano-DH.....what could have been. 8. Kiriloff-1B. Take lots of grounder when you get healthy. 9. Larnach-LF. Martin seems at least a year or two away. Larnach plays every day hopefully. We are now in rebuild mode.
  25. I'll eat crow. Thought she'd partake. Hoping she is able to get over the demons. Sad.
