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

[Soldier13Fox]

The great art of life is sensation, to feel that we exist, even in pain.​

I'm sorry.... Buxton? Please work please work please work

It didn't work.

So remember when I said Sonny Gray was just ok this year and was prone to that blow up inning? Then I was quickly chastised and reminded Cy Young blah blah blah?

Yah ….about that

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Well... shit.

It was fun watching some October Twins baseball anyways.

Gotta like Dusty Baker

My quick look had 4-5 innings this year where he gave up 3+ runs. Not sure how that compares to the average pitcher, or the average "good" pitcher, or whatever kind of pitcher we want to talk about.

But my quick twitch opinion is that 4-5 innings out of 184 doesn't really qualify as "prone".

So fitting that it’s Presley that finishes us off.

They suck ya in, then they suck the life right out of ya.

At least there was some progress this postseason. Hope the Houston Asterisks get sent packing soon.

 

[f7ben]

Praise god for that lol

This is MN son , there is no progression. Only failure on every level

Is a word, yes.

Sonny Gray. The person of whom it was said was "prone to that blow up inning".

I must have them blocked lol.
Was just your post I saw.

 

[Soldier13Fox]

Verlander with the potty mouth tsk tsk.

 

[Northerner]

Just goes to show you how hard it is to win titles now. Glad I got to (sort of) live through 87 and 91.

And I don't like this wildcard bullshit in the MLB. Should only be division winners in the PS.

 

[Wild11MN]

Went to the game and missed the first inning.

So I witnessed the Twins get... 1 hit... in 8 innings.

Oof. At least you watched a game that was in reach throughout 9 innings, unlike yesterday

 

[DigitalBoldy]

This should be a fun game.

 

[DigitalBoldy]

Starting both Hockenson and Addison on my fantasy team. Hoping with Jefferson out that they get way more targets.

 

[DigitalBoldy]

That should have been Chicago ball

 

[DigitalBoldy]

Fantasy pointssssss

 

[f7ben]

This team needs blown up bad

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

That ship is long gone.

 

[DigitalBoldy]

How was that intentional grounding??? There was a running back right there...

I'm not one to complain about refs that often... but that one was a terrible call, just over CJ's head... he's a fullback, not even close to mistakable as a lineman

Home cooking. Frustrating for vikings fans.

Bagent has looked better than Fields too for Chicago. I wonder if they go with a qb in the draft.

 

[TaLoN]

Chicago looked like they were going to takeover the game, then Byron Murphy Jr, steps up and makes a play... under 2 mins left, Vikes should escape this one after that.
