    I’m hearing that the players countered with bringing back the neighborhood play on double plays at second
  2. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Bang-bang play at first!
  3. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Bad weather coverings? No indeedy! It’s the owners proposed new larger bases!
  4. Hosken Bombo Disco
    yup - and i was fooled

    Also, my last comment is wrong and I am bad at math.

    No agreement yet, but here is a preview of the new postseason if the sides do come to an agreement: So instead of 1 first round game per league (the wild card game), there will be between 6 to 9 first round games per league.

    I firmly believe the Twins would have won that game, if Hosken Powell could have come around to bat again in the ninth. ?

    I thought I heard at some point this offseason, that players were firmly against expanding the postseason beyond 10 teams (because players get little postseason revenue) if any regular season games were lost. With that said:

    One of my favorite players as a kid - and I don’t know why. maybe I was at the game he homered off of Palmer? My father liked to take me to games when the Twins were facing great pitchers. I have distinct memories of seeing (or being at) Fidrych and Nolan Ryan game at the Met, and seeing a lot of Dave Goltz games. Hosken Powell also homered off of Fergie Jenkins his rookie season! (had to dig through the game logs for that one)

    I meant to post Bonnes first round gaming odds (entertainment purposes only) but didn’t get around to it. Sorry, folks. Anyway, if you don’t know the results yet, you can still play along! Here is what I had: Bonnes -22 (Bonnes 61%-39%) Mond +22 Moneyline: Bonnes -175 ? Over/Under votes: 1,200 (wild guess) and here is how Bonnes performed:

    It reads to me like MLBPA made a decent concession today — that might explain the meeting lasting only 15 minutes. Why sit around and wait when the owners have now been given something significant to consider? https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/02/details-on-todays-cba-negotiations-2.html

    A couple years ago I created a petition to rename Twins Daily to “Kool-Aid Daily” but couldn’t get any signatures. That bit of sarcasm aside, I do think Bonnes is a lock for the Sweet Sixteen. That comment will definitely cover the spread in the opening round - bank it!

    On Harbaugh, I went from zero to sixty, and now back to zero, in the span of about 72 hours. I sure did talk myself into circles on that one.
  14. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Yeah if the new GM wants Harbaugh, then let’s roll already. Not a Harbaugh fan but I can live with that.
  15. Hosken Bombo Disco
    I want to go into this Vikings reboot with an open mind. I don’t want to get invested in an early ‘take’ and then end up trying to defend the take after it turns out wrong. That said, the combo of Adofo-Mensah and Jim Harbaugh seems like it has zero chance of working out. (but Vikes could still get to the playoffs, sure, esp if Rogers leaves GB.)

    I lean towards parting ways with Cousins. Because what we saw yesterday is what championship caliber quarterback play looks like, and while Cousins ain’t bad, he ain’t close to those other guys either, including Stafford apparently. Unrelated, I ran across this old clip of Cousins experiencing a brain cramp and taking a knee right before halftime instead of spiking. How many times did we see stuff like this at the end of halfs in 2022.

    I don’t know Paul Allen personally so will not comment there. Nor do I really mind Bercich or Johnson that much—although they do have some bad habits to clean up. I’m just throwing out some ideas. But yeah the whole presentation suffers these days. I think it gets so difficult at that station to pretend to get excited every August and every week of the season after so many years of underachieving. The Wilfs are long overdue to change it up.

    Mark Rosen said he thought Mannion was 100% the correct decision because Mannion works closely with Cousins and has the same style of play and knows the playbook. I don’t know. I think it’s an indictment that the team would rather not risk expanding the playbook for a quarterback like Mond who can bring the running element. I think Mond is the high risk high reward play here. It’s a different game than it was 10-20 years ago where QBs and WRs develop and contribute much earlier. I don’t need to tell any of you that. I will say that the offense has maybe looked more open than it did earlier in the year? Not sure. Not having a mobile QB threat is putting yourself at a disadvantage, but I can’t blame Cousins who has been running better than previous seasons, or maybe more accurate to say he’s less afraid to “take off running” when needed. Anyway, it’s Mannion tonight, and not Mond. We’ll see.

    In the October game, Carolina got the ball on their own 4, down by 8, with just over two minutes and no time outs. This was the week after the Vikings blew a 10 point lead to the Lions in the last three minutes. On the radio, Paul Allen said: “if Carolina drives down the field and scores and gets the two point conversion and ties the game? Just shut this whole thing down. Seriously. Shut it down.” False bravado is not serving P. A. well this season. Pete Bercich has turned into a complete referee-baiting homer now, and steps on all of P.A.’s big calls. Ron Johnson talks over everyone else on the fan line, hosts and callers alike. The whole thing does need to be shut down and rebooted beyond just Speilman and the coaching staff getting their pink slips. Put Ben Leber in the booth with P.A. and let Meatsauce be the voice of the fan lines, he speaks for the fans better than anyone else in that whole group. As far as the players, I don’t have strong opinions on what to do with them, or which ones, so I will just follow along with what you all have to say. The new facility is outstanding. Put some new people in charge who will put it to good use. Please! That’s my vent.

    Easy to defend the Bears going for it on those 4th downs, but funny to think if they had kicked a couple field goals, that last drive and score would have been for the tie.

    Interesting update for you @gunnarthor I guessed that Magnus wouldn’t defend his title in 2023; you said he wants to be considered #1 of all time: We were both right. He wants to keep increasing his rating and be the best ever, but he is bored with the world chess championship and won’t defend it once 2023 unless it’s against Alireza Firouzja. I was wrong to suggest if Magnus was getting bored with chess. He’s only bored with his competition. Imagine being that much better than 2nd best in a game where all the information is right there on the board available to both players, and there are no secrets.

    I’m so glad we can talk about this. I was in the studio audience that day. Although I cannot tell you who won, I am not under the same confidentiality, and can share some stuff. So... Shall we have a look at the categories? i think you’ll be pleasantly surprised: , . . . and last..

    Here’s another good channel @gunnarthor! https://m.youtube.com/user/AGADMATOR I have been checking out the commentaries on this channel at night after the games have been played. Good teasers but no spoilers as he walks through the games. I’ve been following this guy for a while. Hearing occasional comments from him and putting pieces together, and it sounds to me like Magnus might be getting a little bored and might not defend in 2023? Which would be natural, but a shame, because there is an amazing young Iranian-French player named Alireza who is developing, very strong and dynamic.

    Yikes! Glad you finally made it. I’m tagging the admin so that they see your comment, for their awareness @Brock Beauchamp
