    I don't disagree with you, but think that people like this because it feels good to perceive potential greatness in a prospect who is on a hot streak. There is reason to hope that Ryan could become a #1 or #2 pitcher. I have hope for this kid and that hope makes me happy. This has been a depressing season and Ryan is helping some of us feel less disgusted. You are clearly correct from a factual perspective, but please consider that the hype may be giving him some extra confidence and he may even match the hype over time. It might also help to turn off the sound on your TV -- kind of like being at the game in person because there are no announcers. Then you don't have to listen to any hype, and if you see Ryan have a bad night then you can (if you wish) turn the sound on to hear the announcers make excuses and/or eat crow, I have watched entire games without the sound, because the announcers can be annoying,

    I agree that is sad and am going to actively celebrate the Lynx.

    Is the lightweight boxing champion less an athlete than the heavyweight champion?

    A) That's why I put "city" in quotes

    Saddest sports city

    glunn posted a blog entry in Blog glunn

    Some posters have suggested that Minnesota is the worst sports "city" in North America. I did some googling and this was my first hit -- https://mikedropsports.com/ranking-12-saddest-sports-cities-in-north-america/ As you can see, there are many sad stories, but Minnesota is ranked as the saddest city. Then I came across a site that rated Detroit #1 and Minnesota # 5 -- https://www.trainwrecksports.com/the-top-10-worst-sports-cities-in-america-1-5/ I think that the difference boils down to how much weight is given to making the playoffs versus winning championships. It's been a long time since a Minnesota team won the championship in a major sport -- the 1991 Twins? And during that time the Vikings, Timberwolves and Wild have been disappointing. All of that said, if there is such a thing as karma -- and I believe that there is -- the negative attitude of fans may be having some effect. I wish that there was some way to change that. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Nice article.

    The chart showing the increases in Ober's velocity is encouraging. Ober may never be Randy Johnson, but his height gives him a lot of leverage on the ball.
  11. glunn
    I would like to see him come up, but think that he first needs at least one decent appearance in AAA.
  12. glunn
    An excellent game and great writeup.

    Great writeup, Allen. I wish that Austin Martin would have fewer hit by pitches

    I enjoyed the videos about the '91 Twins.

    Great writeup, and thanks for the updates regarding the playoff pictures.

    Excellent writeup. Let's hope that Balazovic stays strong.

    It looks like they have had some litigation and the company has not yet generated any revenue. It would be nice if you could sell some calls to hedge, but options don't see to be available for this one. I hope for your sake that they can get one of their drugs approved.
  18. glunn
    Which stock?
  19. glunn
    I am wondering if he might be able to get to 94-96 on his fastball if he can further develop his core strength.
  20. glunn
    Ober is a large man. Perhaps he can build up his strength and generate greater velocity and durability.
  21. glunn
    I am leaving this for the experts. Perhaps there is some good reason for limiting his pitch counts, bit they still want him out there every 5 days to build stamina. I think that it might be nice if he could split games with one of the prospects.
  22. glunn
    I think that he probably has at least one more good year in him. And he will hopefully make the rest of this season more bearable. Ideally they can sign him for next season, and it's possible that they trade him next year if that makes sense at the time.
  23. glunn
    I see no bad that can come from this. ?

    At first glance Scherff looks promising. https://www.milb.com/player/alex-scherff-669085

    Great report and a great night for the farm system.
