I understand the whole appearances angle as to why you should suspend a player for throwing a punch, but for a franchise like the Wolves, winning is far more important. It’s already a long shot to beat the Lakers, but now they may as well concede the game. I was just saying that to a co-worker. Forfeit the game and save yourself the embarrassment and travel to the west coast. Stay home and just focus on playing the winner of OKC/Pelicans. This is just me with little to no confidence that we win against LA in LA. I’ll probably watch, though. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worm Guts Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Was anyone else concerned that the Twins 9 run 1st inning yesterday was going to be the setup for their next monumental collapse against the Yankees? Anyway, I’m glad it didn’t happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Nine seemed like enough that I wasn't too worried. Though, I expected the game to take more than 3 hours and to end something like 11 to 6 or 7. Kenta Maeda has had his start pushed back. Louie Varland is starting today and Mahle tomorrow, so I have less faith for the next couple of games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDBrocks Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Twins pitching is 1st in Ks, whip, and BAA, and 2nd in ERA. Wow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Horrible Wolves game. Twins just locked up, it looks like Lopez for 4 more years at about $75 mil total. Love that extension for them. Gives them a potential ace or if not a very strong #2 starter for a while. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the franchise is now set back for 5 years of Edwards' prime. Might as well have A-Rod move the team to Vegas. The Lopez extension is excellent value. He seems to be ascending, and even if he stalls out at a #2 and doesn't develop into an ace, he's better value (and slightly younger) than Jose Berrios. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Wild win last night. Of course at a horrible time to watch, but nice to get a win on the road. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, big W on the road to open the series. Those 2OT games have to be deflating for the loser and a huge boost for the winner. I was impressed with Steel, Faber, and Nyquist. What do you do if you're Evason? Start Gus Bus again or let MAF get a game? Does the 2OT play any decision in that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is something to be said for staying with the hot hand, but the Stanley Cup playoffs are, perhaps, the biggest grind in sports playoffs. A 2OT game can really wear down a goaltender. Fleury is more than capable and has so much playoff experience. Being a game up, on the road, I'd give him the extra rest so he's 100% on Friday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
