    Sadly that's the case. If Roden or E-Rod were healthy I would assume either one gets the call up today. Gonzalez is on the 40 man but he's been struggling in AAA.

    It was time to send Wallner down. Hope he finds that swing and confidence again.

    It was building up before those last 4 minutes. The Wild went prevent defense for the 2nd and 3rd period. Stopped being aggressive and hoped the time ran out.

    Yep. Apparently know something about baseball too. Thank goodness 39 year old Garcia saved us from this game being a 5 run loss into a 4 run loss. Lowering his ERA to a clean 9 this year.

    Whoopsies

    The team we’re playing tonight the oldest guy on their team is 32 years old. Identical record. Weird.

    I’ll bet you a full year’s mortgage the Twins lose this game. You in? If you think they’re also going to lose, giving these innings to a guy who has zero future on this team is a complete waste of time.
  8. Vanimal46
    Yes. They’re down by 5 runs who cares? This is prime opportunity for a prospect getting their feet wet.

    I truly can’t imagine a bigger waste of MLB roster space than a 39 year old mop up reliever.

    My parents are now in full grandparent mode with my nieces. My mom, grandma, is whipping up all of the family favorite desserts when we’re all together. I can’t say no and potentially hurt her feelings…

    Well you may not have a reason for that 2nd bowl but good choice on the ice cream flavor. If you had any Oreo, chocolate chip cookie dough, or strawberry in reserves… Whelp, it’s a nice night to have at least another scoop of ice cream. I make a rule of no ice cream in the house because I’ll finish a half gallon of it in 2-3 days. Can’t help myself from my favorite dessert of all time.

    Give us a break okay? It’s 70 degrees sunny and little wind. Not ideal to be watching baseball outside /s
  14. Vanimal46
    What flavor ice cream?

    Update: Skenes’ ERA is now a career high 1.98 after 9 starts this year.

    It’s encouraging there’s more cap space than I thought. I figured if tough decisions needed to be made to clear up space, Spurgeon would be near the top of the list with his $7.5 mill hit. We’ve got more than enough depth to lose one of Spurgeon, Brodin, or Middleton if required to extend Hughes
  18. Vanimal46
    A 1st line C would do the trick for the team. I would try to make a trade for Auston Matthews, but I doubt we have the draft/prospect capital nor the cap space. The #1 priority is locking in Hughes long term. We can’t let him get out of the building he’s a true superstar

    You must be disappointed if you’re buying the Star Tribune when you do. Any baseball game starting after 12 PM was recorded as late when I saw the paper on Easter Sunday at my Uncle & Aunt’s house. I can confidently say as a 36 year old I’ve never had a daily newspaper delivered to my residence in my adult life.

    You provide a unique perspective on a curiosity I have. Is Minnesota more loyal to content creators like Gleeman, Zulgad, Coller, etc. where they can go independent and succeed? Compared to other markets like Milwaukee and Chicago that you’re involved in?

    Honestly, it’s pretty fitting that Ober is the one to throw a Maddux. Congrats on a magical night Bailey!

    Amazingly, 15 years later that old guard of writers providing terrible coverage in 2010 are still employed at Star Tribune today. No wonder why their subscription totals have swirled down the drain. Lavelle E Neal 3, Jim Souhan, and Patrick Reusse have been recycling the same lazy articles for the last 30 years.
  24. Vanimal46
    In Minnesota we have seen a lot of writers start independent ventures that appear to be sustainable… Skor North, Wide Left (Arif Hasan), Purple Insider (Matthew Coller), now Gleeman again. They were able to do it because they had 20+ years to build an audience working for a newspaper or radio station. I have the same question in sports media as I do for so many other professions… How does any young person break into the industry/profession anymore? We’re just scratching the surface of AI and companies will need to make the choice to remain human or go with AI. Websites like Sports Illustrated have already decided to go all in on AI slop so I try to avoid that website at all costs now.

    It’s frustrating because this is the most talented Wild team in their history. Colorado is just a buzz saw of a team.
