I would argue that even the game at Wrigley Field was "neutral". Off campus as their new home was being remodeled. Gophers fans outnumbered Wildcat faithful by roughly a 2:1 margin. At worst 3:2. Northwestern had never won a game at the Friendly Confines until beating Minnesota. They upped...

The age 19 limit is weeding out those going to JUCOs/NAIA and then saying they still get 4 additional seasons at an NCAA institution.

Probably, unless they were also Mormon and served time in the Australian military.

There was an NFL Supplemental Draft in 2023, but no players were selected. https://www.nfl.com/news/no-players-selected-in-2023-nfl-supplemental-draft

I respect the opinion, I tend to elevate Kobe (including Larry Legend) over others based on the 5 rings. Bird gets shorted unfortunately a bit due to starting late (5 years in college) and then ending early due to injury. That limits his career value, IMO. Peak Bird though, no argument of...

I think you're overlooking Kobe.

At the regular stands, looked like steady lines but not overwhelming considering the crowd. My only food visit was for the Kramarczuk's, and it was at a small little stand/booth in the top deck. No line at all in the 3rd inning. I did a grab and go water in the 7th. Those still amuse me asking...

Last night I attended on virtually a last minute decision as the weather was awesome and today is suspect. Very good crowd. While I generally approve of 6:40 PM starts (Mon-Thur) because it works great for my schedule, on nights were there is a big crowd it can create a hassle. Lines were...

New Player today is now a favorite of mine, Sugar Cain. He hung around the Show for 7 seasons, despite never having a sub 4.00 ERA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_Cain My overall Rarity took a hit at 52 despite the help from Sugar.

For UBER tips I go with "straight cash homey" when it's busy or late night. I hope they helps my rating.

If you are curious about any of the other Twins that are hurt: https://www.mlb.com/news/twins-injuries-and-roster-moves

I am not being critical of the decision, just pointing it out in hindsight as I initially stated "not that huge of a deal". Even if Abel had pitched in Arizona on Sunday (June 21) that was still beyond 60 days as he was placed on the list effective April 20. By mid-May at least the signals...

Courtesy of the Minnesota Treasure Island Baseball Network, current Dodger Freddie Freeman owns the longest active streak against the local nine by hitting in his last 20 contests against the Twins. Ron LeFlore reached safely with a base hit against the Twins in a record 26 straight games.

Sort of odd that another All Star Freddie Freeman also hit a solo HR along with Ohtani/Buxton, and that wound up being 100% of the runs scored in a 2-1 game.

Not that huge of a deal, but they could have had Abel on the 60-day IL and gotten the benefit of an extra slot on the 40 man this entire time.
