  1. It took four years for him to return to the level of play that would have been expected of him had he not sustained his 2013 concussion, and I fear he won't be back at his expected level of performance again this season. As is the case with all of us, I have no inside information and I'm not a neurologist but with these symptoms returning I think this is probably his last season.
  2. My assumption is that doing random testing is to save time and money over testing everyone all the time. I think the best thing is to determine how long after use of PED a test will detect it, then test EVERY player that frequently, and do it year round. Yes, it takes more time. Yes, it costs more. Yes, it's way more incovenient for everyone. But it seems to me to be the only fair way to catch every cheater.
  3. Maybe there should be system similar to what the IRS uses for determining who gets audited. Identify red flags that are signs a player is juicing, for example a sharp increase in slugging percentage or a sharp increase in K/9 relative to the player's trend over the previous couple years.
  4. The thing about that is that if a particular player happens to have all his tests randomly occur early in the season he has carte blanche to cheat for several months. There should be a minimum number of tests but no maximum and the timing should be totally random.
  5. It matters if that someone is not currently on the 40-man.
  6. Good thing tonight's game wasn't scheduled for Mpls. Pretty steady rain.
  7. What was the deal with Duffy giving Rosario the evil eye at the end of the inning?
  8. If Rochester loses a game to a rain-out Gonsalves would be in line. Or they could hold him out of his start on Sunday. I'd like to see what he can do and it wouldn't hurt the rotation to have at least one lefty. Even though I think it will be Slegers I'm hoping for Gonsalves.
  9. As has been pointed out, Enns is not on the 40-man. Neither is May, who is still on the 60-day DL. Castro is still on the 10-day DL so he could be moved to the 60-day to make room but I'd guess Falvine would rather hold off for now to make room for May later or to allow for another waiver acquisition if one comes along.
  10. The doubleheader on June 5 means 7 games in 6 days. The team will need a sixth starter at some point so it makes sense to make the 26th player a starting pitcher. I'd bet $100 it will be Slegers unless other circumstances arise, such as injury or rain-out.
  11. Here's the way to look at it from "The Life of (who else?) Brian".
  12. Not a good performance by Reed. At least we took advantage of the mistake by the Seattle 3B coach.
  13. I think we are looking at next year's closer. Pressly has made big strides over the last year or two.
  14. Oy, veh! This is possibly the worst GBA I've ever heard.
  15. All right Eddie! Now let's get him around and in!
  16. 88F here right now. Guess Hubert was right. We are basically a cold Omaha.
  17. These games against the Mariners have been pretty much what baseball is supposed to be. Good pitching keeping the batters down in close, low-scoring games. Like!
  18. Wikipedia already has Minnesota listed as the 2018 champion. Someone is quick on the update!
  19. Final: Gophers 6, Boilermakers 4. On to the CWS!
  20. OK boys, your pitcher is working hard and deserves a few runs. Go get 'em!
  21. Berrios treating Herrmann the way he should be treated.
