Heimdallr Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 I dislike the Pohlads as much as anyone, but the team was great all season (including pitching) and has flat out not shown up this series. That is on the players and coaches, not ownership. Blame them for a lot of other things, but not this series. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it Jim out there serving center/center low 90s fastballs? or maybe Bill stranded all of those runners. I’m not disagreeing that they have been cheap, nor would I have been upset if they added more pieces. But suggesting that ownership is losing these games in NY is not really grounded in reality. The players got this far. They need to execute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikesfan89 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I believe the ownership would have went along with adding payroll but the front office didn't want to overpay in prospects. Would we really have rather traded away Brusdar away for a 1 year rental? He had no problems getting Yankee hitters out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikesfan89 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Also this is the first day I watched gopher football. Has the schedule been that easy getting them to 5-0 or are they playing some good football? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heimdallr Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 The real test of ownership will be how they follow up the success of this year’s regular season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikesfan89 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 It's unfortunate to have a rookie starting the 2nd game but players have been stepping up all year. It's just too bad that no one stepped up in the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
