Yep, it's going to be frustrating to say the least.... And, don't forget, there's no room to promote 24 year old Nick Burdi, about to be 26 year old Mason Melotakis, and 26 year old Trevor Hildenberger.
Don't disagree with your theory. I've been beaten down enough to accept Berrios + others are starting in AAA... Time will tell if the new regime has a quick hook with struggling veterans. The last thing I want this year is watching Vogelsong/Hughes/Santiago struggle for several starts and the FO gives them the benefit of the doubt.
Typically I don't see detailed analytics articles on this website. And on this website, I mean Deadspin. Ironically it's about Craig Breslow using SCIENCE! to re-invent his throwing motion. I haven't read all of it, and probably won't, but that doesn't mean you can't! "How Craig Breslow Used Science To Engineer His Way Back Into Baseball"
Sano just needs to be a serviceable 3B for 2 years, then he can head across the diamond to settle in at 1B for the next 10 years. We're all going to be much happier when that happens.
I don't see Patterson getting a lot of touches in Oakland, TBH.. They have Cooper and Crabtree already getting a lion's share of targets. It's possible that they're thinking he could be a hybrid RB/WR/KR for them. The Vikes certainly need a replacement for Captain.... Alexander has a long ways to go in order to be a serviceable CB in this league. He looked completely lost in the limited time he's played so far. My confidence in Spielman is also at an all-time low right now. They had a lot of work to do this off-season rebuilding the OL, and now they're creating more needs on the list. I hope they're not relying on their draft picks from last year stepping into key roles this season. That was one of the worst draft classes in a long time for this team.
Happy Tuesday! Who wants to split a pizza pie? And afterwards go get a slice of pie? Then finish up a great night watching the movie "Life of Pi"?! Because it's National Pi Day! Today is also National Potato Chip Day! As we move closer to summer, my "meals" transition more to snacks during the day... I'm testing out different dips that may be good when it's a warm summer day... The latest and greatest is a Cobb Dip... Everything you'd expect on a cobb salad with a cream cheese/sour cream/ranch foundation. Nearly ate half the bag of potato chips testing it out yesterday!
The red flags are still very much present from 2 weeks ago. It's not getting much better. It's not going to be pretty watching him start games in April.
He did.... Then turned back into the sucky version for the last 5-6 games. Don't remember the exact game, but I think it was at home in the dome, and he had 3 punts in a row of less than 20 yards.
I've never heard of this guy before, but that's not saying much! Per Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press on Twitter: "Source says #Vikings one of four teams in mix to sign free-agent DB Nickell Robey-Coleman. Could be slot replacement for Captain Munnerlyn." He played in Buffalo last year, and FWIW, was ranked as PFF's #33 overall corner.
Today is National Napping Day you guys! Or for Chief, today is Monday. Moving the clocks one hour ahead was rough this morning... Feels like we're back in the thick of winter where it's still dark when we wake up! I need a nap, desperately.
I agree, it's become a running bit every off-season that they bring in former Packers for visits. Though I would have gladly taken one of their hand-me-downs with TJ Lang... Too bad he's a Lion now.
I think it's a national law to have a Mrs. Anderson working in every school district around the USA.... My Mrs. Anderson was a wonderful 5th grade teacher!
