    When there is a night game, do they still have practice in the morning, or in the afternoon before the game?

    The weakness definitely isn't in the defense. I think that's something that's really getting overlooked. According to FanGraphs, we have the top ranked defense by a large margin. Especially in the outfield, Buxton is 1st in cf in majors, Kepler is 3rd in majors in rf and 1st in al, and Rosario is 2nd in majors and al.

    Vargas for Duffy, Gee for Turley. I would also keep all 3 catchers instead of Curtis so molitor has the freedom to pinch hit or pinch run for one (or even two of them if need be).

    Sam Fuld We claimed him off waivers from and then traded him back to the Oakland A's.

    I think it would be foolish to trade a 25 year old with a +.800 ops who is about to enter his prime which will be in team controlled years. He is also an average defender, which is all you need in the corner when you have the best defensive centerfielder in the majors. He is also a good chemistry guy on a team that has mostly come up together through the minors together and seem to love playing together. Rosario is the x-factor on this team and I don't think the return would be worth his value for us.

    That won't be a problem for very much longer, UND is joining the rest of the Dakotas in the MVFC and the Summit league in 2019/2020 so they will play against each other every year as conference opponents. As it should be.

    I don't like it when people compare speeds between baseball players and sprinters. The running conditions are not exactly the same, and that makes a difference when you are looking at it to the .1 ft/sec. Baseball players are running on dirt, where sprinters run on a hard track. Baseball players are commonly running in a curved path not a straight line, and have to be a little more aware of what is going on around them than sprinters. This can add up to a couple ft/sec difference, which is a lot. I am not saying that Buxton would beat Bolt in a race, because he wouldn't, but it would be closer than these numbers suggest.
