    If I am the Rams, I go for it on 4th down, even with more than 10 yards to go.
  2. stringer bell
    Two first downs will do the trick for Detroit. I hope they don't go too conservative.
  3. stringer bell
    Or not. I'm just glad this is a good game. Three straight snoozers so far.
  4. stringer bell
    Detroit's best hope is to score after the Rams score here without enough time for the Rams to score again.
  5. stringer bell
    With all the noise, the Rams haven't had a false start. Pretty impressive.

    Goff is great when the Lions are going downhill. But he doesn't carry a team like the great ones. I feel the same way about Purdy.

    They're building something. They already have an elite offense, although I don't know if they'll have salary cap and free agent issues. I think they'll be a lot better on defense next year and a threat to make the playoffs for a while. I suppose the Packers will be a trendy pick to be good next year, as well. I do wonder if if seeing what Detroit and Green Bay are doing will effect what the Vikings do (Cousins & Hunter).

    If the Rams need to score in the last two minutes, I think they will. Not as sure for Goff and the Lions.

    Anybody know who Stafford's center was in high school? Hint--he excelled in another sport.
  10. stringer bell
    What can Minnesota learn from these two teams? Is it coaching? QBs?
  11. stringer bell
    Detroit just outscores their opponents. They have a great, balanced offense. You know they will pick defense in the draft.

    This year, I was at the Keuchel game where he was perfect into the eighth IIRC.
  13. stringer bell
    14-3, maybe not.
  14. stringer bell
    We're due for a good, close game.
  15. stringer bell
    Quick start for the Motor City Kitties!
  16. stringer bell
    I can't help it. I'm pulling for Detroit.

    The topic is Vikings. This is a playoff game that probably impacts the Vikings and what they do in the off season. Who wins? What is the effect on Minnesota?

    There are a lot of veteran ex-Twins who remain unsigned as we approach a month until pitchers and catchers report. None of them seem to be of interest to the Twins. One possible exception to me is Aaron Hicks, given that the Yankees will be paying his salary. Here is a list--I might have missed someone: Eduardo Escobar, Josh Donaldson, Rich Hill, Gary Sanchez, Jonathan Schoop, Ehire Adrianza, Billy Hamilton, Hicks, Alex Columé, Liam Hendriks, CJ Cron, Fernando Abad, Robbie Grossman, Tommy Milone and Gio Urshela.

    I suppose if you find the right prism to look through, Gordon might be an equal option as a hitter or defender. I see other numbers that don't agree. What shouldn't be disputed is that Gordon struggles mightily against left handed pitching and he is nowhere near the threat on the bases that Willi Castro is. Gordon needs to be clearly superior as a hitter/defender and I don't believe he is. Willi Castro improved dramatically as a base runner and defender last year. If that is not a mirage, I have a hard time seeing Gordon performing well enough to supplant him.

    I think the Rockies would rather have Larnach than Kepler with the difference in their salaries. They probably would prefer Wallner to Larnach.
  21. stringer bell
    It will be interesting what a list of starting pitchers will look like a year from now. Except for the cream of the crop, pitching is so volatile that it is just hard to know. Like everyone else, I'd love to see the Twins add a quality arm before the season starts, but it isn't easy, especially given the (self imposed) salary restraints in place for the Twins.
  22. stringer bell
    I'll pile on about the Mahle trade. I thought getting Mahle and Jorge López at the deadline were exactly the shot in the arm that the Twins needed. Injuries (Mahle) and ineffectiveness (López) proved me wrong. Most of us have come around to loving the Arraez-López trade, but if Pablo gets injured, the second guess would be to hold on to a two-time batting champion. Hindsight is 20-20.

    Happ and Shoemaker were bad all right, but I remember a game or two where they were very good. Happ had a no-hitter going thru 7+ or 8 IIRC. That bring to mind another former Twin, Philip Humber, who had a very forgettable big league career with the exception of a perfect game pitched for the White Sox. It seems that every once in a while the law of averages stands on its head.

    I've probably seen him play only 15-20 including college. He's always had a great offensive team around him and he's got good numbers, but I wouldn't consider Tua an elite QB. Stroud, OTOH, just might be something special.

    If Rocco had a bunch of racehorses, I think the Twins would run plenty. They just don’t. They only have a couple guys who can run without the element of surprise. I haven’t seen anyone say that Lewis is considerably slower than before the two knee surgeries. His sprint speed was listed at 73rd percentile (28.2 ft. per sec).
