Season 2 admittedly got weird. Especially the first couple of episodes in that season. It ramps up quickly though once they get through the weird stuff. Season 3 and season 4 are no doubt home runs.
The defense is declining quickly. It’s no longer a coincidence, it’s a pattern, they can’t get off the field. The “bend but don’t break” defense is frustrating to watch.
Out of all the contracts signed so far, which admittedly is not a huge sample, people have said “Glad the Twins didn’t make that offer!” People realize cheap contracts can also be bad contracts, right?
Would be nice to see the Gophers play in one B1G Championship game in my lifetime... I’m sure they would get blown out by Ohio State but it’s still something I’d like to see. I hope this isn’t the peak we’ll see in the Fleck era. The road is only going to get more difficult when they have to play Ohio State, Michigan, and Michigan State again.
The 1998 home run race between Sosa and McGwire sparked my love of baseball. I would try to stay up past my bed time and watch Baseball Tonight on ESPN... If I couldn’t do that I’d read the box scores in the paper every morning. My family attended Twins games but they were irrelevant in those days. I remember the first Twins game I ever went to Bob Tewksbury was throwing beach balls down Broadway. Didn’t truly become a Twins fan until 2001 when the kids finally started gelling together.
Verizon has a pretty sweet black Friday deal going on. Get a new iPad for $100 with the purchase of a new iPhone... Guess I'm joining the apple family now.
He's got a good slider and change up already that generates a good whiff rate. I think he could benefit from the Odorizzi approach with his fastball and raise it to the top of the zone instead of middle/outside to RH hitters. He should probably ditch the 2 seam entirely and throw more sliders instead.
