OT: Non-Hockey Sports Thread XI - Defense? Who Needs Defense?! (Wade Wilson Memorial Edition)

[thestonedkoala]

My brother-in-law's cousin's friend is Chris Paddack. Was excited to see him traded to the Twins. I know he isn't pitching right now, but yay!

Is this your lame claim to fame?

 

[thestonedkoala]

Is this your lame claim to fame?

No. My lame claim to fame is our family friends is friends with Podein and Hedican or that my aunt was in the Dillinger gang or my uncle's relatives were Otto and Wally Timm

 

[NHL1674]

#@$! the Houston Cheaters.

 

[Sad People]

This result isnt surprising at all. Verlander has been owning the Twins since i was a freakin kid lol.

 

[Sad People]

Royce Lewis is that dude.

Did anyone ever think Gophers football would ever be anything other than an average run-of-the-mill football program? It never changes. Eh at least they have those 63+ year old "national championships" they can claim, which is more than some other programs. Best thing about TCF Stadium.

As long as you run out PJ Fleck then yeah. Hes obviously not the guy if you wanna actually build something more than mediocrity. Wasnt a fan of it when the Gophers extended him. But somehow MN sports fan defended that move which i dont get what so ever.

Y’all ready for the Taylor Swift concert Vikings game?

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Attaboy CC! 1 UP

Farmer with a BOMB

 

[NHL1674]

Let's get this win, yo!!!

 

[AKL]

Correa is a satisfactory player in the playoffs

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Yeah... I was wrong about not wanting carlos back. Huge game tonight

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Lopez has been fantastic

 

[Minnewildsota]

Do you let Lopez pitch the 7th? Pitch count approaching 90 but he’s still pitching well. I can see the argument for both sides

 

[AKL]

Lopez has been fantastic

If Sonny can be nearly as good that could make it a tough hill to climb for Houston. I wonder if Rocco goes back to Ober for game 4 or if he gives it to Ryan like he probably should have to begin with.

I think Sonny won’t be AS good but he’ll still be good.

Hindsight is 20/20. If Ober comes out and does well, you don’t second guess it. But he didn’t sit here we are.

I think he HAS to go with Ryan. Then maybe go to Ober if we’re up 3-1 in the series. Which is a big IF.

It's strange watching a good player do what he's being paid to do in the postseason.

I'm looking at you, Wild.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Gotta let your outfielder get that one

Was thinking that, don't know how early Stevenson let up, but at a certain point he wouldn't have been able to get it anyway, looking at the replay

Yeah, it was close either way. But certainly the guy running at the ball has a better chance than the guy running away from it.

8th inning, let's go. Again, Lopez has just been great

 

[AKL]

Imagine walking into Houston down 0-1 in the series and pitching 7 innings of shutout baseball. When was the last time a Twins pitcher was that cold?

Stevenson was 5-10ft away from where the ball dropped. He wasn’t getting to it like AKL said.

They’re likely playing the OF back. Keep everything in front of you. No big plays. They got a single? No big deal.

Jack, probably.
