    Yeah....me too. I thought I had heard that all the opening day games were free. Bummer.
  2. cheeseheadgophfan
    Sorry for being dense.....but how?
  3. cheeseheadgophfan
    Currently in Florida.....did I read somewhere that someplace (MLBTV???) was free for all teams opening day? Or was that a dream?
  4. cheeseheadgophfan
    I'll respond to my own question...LOL Saw this today.....man he looks like a young Mark Langston. Excited for his future.
  5. cheeseheadgophfan
    Sanchez really surprises me. His price tag must be too high, but some of the catchers that will apparently make clubs seem like lesser players to me. He wasn't "terrible" for the Twins last year as a second catcher...... And wow! How quickly Sano's career seems to have gone in the tank? Amazing that someone wouldn't take a chance on him.
  6. cheeseheadgophfan
    Pagan for Diaz straight up.....they both have great stuff. 😉
  7. cheeseheadgophfan
    Has Prielipp thrown at all this spring? Any updates on Paddock's recovery? I've heard nothing about either of them this spring?
  8. cheeseheadgophfan
    Agreed....if it's really just tendonitis, 8 months of rest in the offseason should have been plenty of time to recover. This one worries me if he is still walking with a limp.....
  9. cheeseheadgophfan
    I swear I heard he throwing 95 in his last start.....harder than any time last year. I'm trying not to panic.....
  10. cheeseheadgophfan
    The famous Royce Lewis leg kick appears to be gone????? If you had to draw up a perfect looking left handed swing, it would probably be close to mirroring AK's.
  11. cheeseheadgophfan
    Thanks for this....I try to follow things pretty closely, but I don't remember seeing any actual video interviews (even on TD) where they say this. I feel better LOL
  12. cheeseheadgophfan
    Count me as being in the camp that didn't care that he (or Polanco) weren't playing in early ST games. But we are coming up on 2 weeks from opening day. Live BP is great, but don't they have to start ramping up their pregame routine for getting ready to play 9 innings? Starting to get concerned. Have I missed it or has anyone directly asked Rocco about their health? Inquiring minds want to know.....LOL
  13. cheeseheadgophfan
    The Diaz injury is every MLB team's worst nightmare......it would be sad but and I can't blame them if they discouraged players from playing. $100 million dollars invested in him and I'm betting he's done for the season.
  14. cheeseheadgophfan
    Some of these guys are really out there for the pride of playing for their country, and that makes it special......
  15. cheeseheadgophfan
    No disrespect intended, but if you watch the strikeouts that Deleon had in the game, it appears the WBC strike zone is much larger than MLB's........
  16. cheeseheadgophfan
    Jake Cave's replacement in St. Paul......
  17. cheeseheadgophfan
    I've seen him pitch several times and i've never seen his fastball come anywhere near the upper 90's. If he really has that in him, make him a reliever and let him go with that in shorter stints. I do like his curveball.
  18. cheeseheadgophfan
    I just banged on my laptop and tried new ear buds until I read the comments.....😅
  19. cheeseheadgophfan
    I didn't even know you had an Ulnar Collateral Ligament in your thumb. My UCL is torn but it's in my elbow 😳
  20. cheeseheadgophfan
    I remember when Jason said Ryan LaMarre was the next Mike Trout after hitting .400 in spring training several years ago.......😉
  21. cheeseheadgophfan
    The AVERAGE MLB fastball last season was 93.9 MPH........there just isn't a lot of starting pitchers in baseball anymore (outside of some lefty junk ballers) who throw a 91 MPH fastball. Think Dylan Bundy.
  22. cheeseheadgophfan
    I frankly don't understand the desire to get more catching. We just signed Vazquez to a 3 year deal and Jeffers is still very young for an everyday or backup catcher. We are in a win-now era....are we not? I'd rather see them get back a major league caliber relief pitcher. What would it take to get Graterol back???? Or Hudson?
  23. cheeseheadgophfan
    That's not always the case.....a college buddy of mine who I played baseball with (he's 6'3" about 225) was sitting at a bar (I was two seats away).....a girl asked him if he would buy her a drink (she was wasted) and he declined. He didn't do anything but say "no thanks". Next thing you know, he got sucker punched by her (i'm assuming) boyfriend. Broke his orbital bone. The guy was tiny. He took off too. Eventually, he was found and convicted of substantial battery. I'm just saying.....it happens.
  24. cheeseheadgophfan
    You took the words right out of my mouth.....you look at his size, the speed, the positional flexibility and then you see that switch-hitting swing, and he appears to me to be a clone of Jorge Polanco, and that would be a very good thing.
  25. cheeseheadgophfan
    Two things: Miller---agreed on what some have said about him. He's one year removed from playing high school baseball in Wisconsin (which due to weather usually amounts to about 20 games). He was the primary shortstop in his first full year of pro ball and by all reports is a very good defender while still being over 2 years younger than the average player at that level. Way too early to say he's a bust. This will be a big year for him. Enlow---I think he has a big year. Speaking from experience, that first year of pitching post-TJ surgery is rough. You have to get over the mental hurdles that the arm is healthy while trying to get the feel back of all of your pitches. Hopefully, he now knows he's healthy and can let it loose. I've always thought his curveball was perhaps the best in the organization . Fingers crossed.
