    All Things 2023 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

    Correa grounded into 18 double plays last year which was good enough for T13th in the MLB. It's clear he was unhappy with that as he now leads the majors with 22 this season after 2 more today. Hard works pays off.

    All Things 2023 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

    Seems like there's at least one player every year that Rocco will keep on the field regardless of their performance. The Gallo signing at $11m this offseason was a headscratcher to begin with and he continues to look lost in virtually every plate appearance. With the 2 strikeouts tonight, he has...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS QUINNIPIAC NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHP IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    After the 1st period, the Gophers were outshot 26-8 and got dominated in the faceoff game. Who is the last national champion where you can say, "Wow, the way they went into that conservative shell with 20 minutes left won them the game!" While I get it's on the players too as you get tight and...

    Given Minnesota's injury history, over/under on 25 games before Correa's leg shatters as he jogs out on the field during an inning change.

    STrib: Johnson had the only Big Ten team with three freshmen averaging at least 20 minutes per game in the first 11 games.

    At the conclusion of the 2018-19 season, Pitino had compiled a record of 40-70 in conference play with finishes of 7th, T-10th, 13th, 4th, T-11th and 7th. They were not competitive in losing by 20 to Michigan State in the Round of 32. In the 2 years following that tournament "run", Pitino had a...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA VS SYRACUSE PINSTRIPE BOWL IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Lol. There was going to be about 15 seconds left and Syracuse would have had the ball inside their 15 with no timeouts. They didn't get "saved" by the officials.

    ***OFFICIAL CHICAGO STATE AT MINNESOTA WINTER STORM 2022 IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    This Chicago State program is 2-33 in true road games dating back to 2020 (0-11 this year) with their 2 wins coming against IUPUI and Lamar last year. They have lost every road game this season by nearly 15 ppg (lost 11 of 13 by double digits). The fact this is a one possession game with 10...

    ***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT ILLINOIS BOUNCE-BACK IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    Obviously another frustrating performance after the Purdue game two weeks ago. They had all the information on how Illinois is winning games by executing the exact same gameplan the Gophers want to execute. Control the LOS on both sides of the ball, don't give up big plays and control the...

    ***OFFICIAL PURDUE AT MINNESOTA HOMECOMING IN-GAME THREAD!!!***

    The obvious is that Tanner is the perfect play-from-ahead QB. If PJ doesn't decide to go for it on their own 29, don't miss a 28 yard fg, and MBS doesn't drop that game-tying TD before half, I imagine they do just enough to get the win. When the odds are against Tanner is when he really seems to...

    After Duran pitches a scoreless top half of the 10th, Gordon lays down a sac bunt to move Hamilton up to 3rd open the bottom half. Urshela then draws a walk and the Giants give an IBB to Kepler to set the stage for Celestino to play hero. He obliges by drawing a walk on 4 pitches and for just...

    After Jake Cave showed the Giants that he never goes 22 at-bats without a hit in the 8th, he comes through in the 9th to tie the game at 2. This came after a clutch hit by Correa after a horrific strike one call on him. Miranda grounds out to end the 9th and it's off to extras we go. Would be a...

    These kids know what they are worth.

    Roughly 2% of college athletes are able to make the jump professionally. An even smaller percentage will have enough earning power to never worry about money after their playing days are over. This means that most will be entering the "normal" professional market by the time they are 30...

    New college football documentary: Notre Dame's Manti Te'o: The Girlfriend Who Didn't Exist

    I've never understood this take. You have a young man whose identity is rooted in religion, so he has a lifelong history of putting faith into people that may or may not have existed. That's an aside to the fact that he verified her "existence" through multiple people. Additionally, he started...

    Correa has at least 1 hit in 13 of 17 games in August and has drawn 13 BB's. He has a slash line of .276/.411/.345 after hitting .175/.264/.350 in July. The biggest issue is his lack of production as he has driven in just 3 runs this month and 12 of his 14 hits have been singles. To highlight...
