    People complaining about Sands making the roster over Ober are not considering that they don't play the same position. As mentioned Sands is on the 94 shuttle while Ober is in a controlled environment, incubating.

    Maeda looked like he took a step forward in his last start

    Pablo is the most ramped up due to the WBC. Sonny sure looked sharp today and when he is on he is fun to watch. I don't watch other teams much but does anybody else do what he does locating that two seamer? Magic. Leftys just watch it go by, lol. Hopefully Sonny accepts the home opener gracefully as he is the most accomplished starter on the team. Pablo will be here next year and the guy is super smart and impressive not to mention young. This staff could be a ton of fun, although clubbing on South Beach with Ricky in his Lambo wouldn't be too bad either, lol.

    Pretty much as expected. Ober still needs to stretch out at this point and it is wise to slow that process down considering he pitched only 56 innings last year. That is if you have any hope of him pitching late in the year. I don't think the Twins are interested in four inning starts this year thankfully. So if you consider that I'm not sure how Bailey could end up still pitching in September, unless he has a substantial IL stint. Castro is the surprise, here's hoping he's not up long and AK and Polo come back.

    Knock on wood 😉

    He is a lefty, but he's got reverse splits, correct? That makes him very useful, especially when the opposing manager sends a bunch of rightys out to face him, lol

    A joy governor?
  9. wabene
    ^^^^ yes and having Bundy and Archer back to back in the rotation was an unnecessary extra strain on the pen.

    Somewhat surprising because the talk I heard was Sonny was in line as the veteran. Pablo Lopez has impressed me in many ways so far and has been my choice as the starter that steps forward to lead this rotation.

    In a somewhat surprising move https://www.startribune.com/twins-opening-day-starting-pitcher-pablo-lopez/600261704/

    I think those complaining about high payrolls and high ticket prices have a point. Money in sports is out of hand overall. $30 plus for a beer and a sandwich? A family of 4 can sit in middling seats and easily drop over $400 for a few hours of entertainment. Licensing fees, huge TV contacts, corporate suites, skyrocketing payrolls and salary caps, year round personal nutritionists and hyperbolic chambers. The money in sports today is totally crazy and out of hand. The owners, the players, the super agents, it has changed drastically over time and is undeniably more expensive for the average fan. Vast numbers of the populous are priced out of attending games live. I live in Duluth and don't get to many games. When we do go, we splurge and act like gluttonous fools, lol. If we lived in town we would go to many more games and part of that would be budgeting.

    92-70 Pablo Lopez steps forward to lead a strong rotation.
  14. wabene
    More pith? Lol
  15. wabene
    I will be tuning in to any start started by pitchers 1 thru 8 or so on this depth chart. Add in the pitch clock and now we're talking. Fast paced quality pitching, sign me up!

    It has to be as clear to Adam as it is to me that Carolina is not winning anything in the two years that he has guaranteed. That is my only point. If it is true as Mr Musk pointed out that he had interest from two teams with a much better chance of winning, that furthers my statement. Adam was a great player for the Vikings. At the end here he and his wife seemed to take the way things went for him personally. It must not be clear to them that this business they are in is a full on meritocracy. I don't agree that the Panthers have a better chance at a championship than the Vikes in the next 2 years. Vikings 5%, Panthers 3.5%, lol.

    Look above ^^^ young master @nicksaviking

    Maybe. This looks to me like a recent, unexpected flare up for Polo. The Donnie Barrels signing had more to do with avoiding the extreme vulnerability against leftys they displayed last season.
  19. wabene
    Couldn't he have gotten that money with the Vikes with a better chance to win? He picked a rebuilding team where he is the number one receiver. I don't know how many other offers he had though.
  20. wabene
    I guess Thielen wants the ball more than he wants to win.
  21. wabene
    I think so. Places like Merida, Mexico City, San Miguel de Allende, and Queretaro are generally safe. Then the big resort areas like on the Yucitan and a big prosperous city like Puerto Vallarta would be good. Cabo. Down in Oaxaca. There are definitely some areas that you don't want to visit and I think it changes to. Plus when something does happen in an otherwise safe area, the main culprit for the victim is alcohol.

    Polo is one of the Twins best players when healthy. It is always concerning when a player goes through a long, non surgical rehab and when he tries to ramp it up has a setback. We don't know how this will turn out, many possible outcomes like Julien taking over second and winning the rookie of the year award!!!!!! Sign me up!!!

    Sorry this is overblown. There are many places to travel safely in Mexico. I've traveled there dozens of times and the people have always been welcoming. The food is amazing, my favorite. Just like anywhere else when traveling use some common sense and you'll be fine.

    The US could learn much from Latin players and fans about our sport.
