    Luke Ryerse Commit

    I am so stoked about this. Honestly though, this is a game changer for baseball. Ryerse is the best hitter in Minnesota and top 3-5 pitcher when healthy. East Ridge does not win last 2 state championships without him. He's legit MLB prospect.

    Ryerse coming to Minnesota might save the program. He's that good. Best hitter in the state since his sophomore year. If he keeps his arm healthy, he's top 3-5 pitcher in state. East Ridge doesn't win last 2 titles without him..

    He should follow my lead and grow a beard. Hides a chubby face better.

    Coyle says changes could be coming to Gopher sports department

    I for one will be absolutely devastated if they get rid of baseball. According to the University's financial reports from 2023 the sports are generating the following for profits/losses: M Football: $35,020,493 M Basketball: $8,796,453 M Hockey: -$270,290 M Golf: -$544,163 W Golf...

    Sun exposure on north side?

    Been on the visiting side since the stadium opened and I love it. As others have said, at most there is 1 game a year where it's super-hot. But usually, it's manageable. I love the sun during the crisp fall days. It's a difference maker.

    I'm not a fan of this at all. They really need to rotate it amongst AAA ballparks in the footprint or (my preference) go back to having the regular season champ host.

    I'm willing to give McDevitt a chance. He's an internal hire so he's familiar with the program, the challenges that it faces and the local prep scene. However, I do have concerns. The pitching staff since he came aboard in 2019 has been a mess. There is also a decent amount of homegrown...

    That 2q ending was so demoralizing. The next 10 minutes will show if we have any fight whatsoever

    5-1 might not even get us there. If we take 2/3 from Sparty and then sweep NW then we finish 12-12. Sparty would then be 10-11 heading into Nebraska. Likely they go 1-2 so that means we pass them. But Maryland is looking to take 2 or 3 from PSU and put them at 12-13 wins. Ohio State will...

    Any guesses on the next Gopher baseball coach??

    Doesn't have to be "one of us" but how about Brian Raabe?

    Twins/Vikings/Wild/Wolves Championship appearance drought tracker

    But they don't update the count until they have been "eliminated". 1994 Twins were never eliminated. To each their own but I would regard that as an "Incomplete" grade rather than a "Fail". I can appreciate the logic but it was 100% impossible for the 1994 Twins to make a championship...

    Twins/Vikings/Wild/Wolves Championship appearance drought tracker

    Maybe this was addressed earlier in the thread, but is the season count really at 122? Shouldn't we NOT count the 1994 MLB season since there was no postseason? Yes the Twins sucked that year but they were not mathematically eliminated before the season was cancelled. If my count is off, I...

    Northwestern home games

    I would think SeatGeek Stadium would have been viable. Seats around 20k. Maybe they couldn't make it work with the existing tenants though.

    NO SPRING GAME! Gophers start spring practice March 21; open practice for the public is April 11

    So watching the team is "terrible" and you're disappointed that you can't watch them practice? Got it.
