SemperFeist Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 It’s all going to depend on the QB position. Everything else about this team is playoff caliber. But the QB position is just a big unknown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 John Parker Romo did not participate in the home run derby portion of Thursday night's UNRL Celebrity Softball Game, but perhaps he should have. The kicker who joined the Vikings this offseason as a free agent managed to provide the first run of the game on a line drive with enough carrying power to hit Jalen Nailor's glove and escape the receiver's grasp. In the fifth inning, Romo made similar contact at the plate and with Nailor's glove in the outfield as part of a four-run fifth. "That was crazy. The same spot, too," said Romo, who had played Little League Baseball and one year at a private school. Instead of double-doinks, it was double-dingers for Romo on a night when specialists provided significant impact while teaming with Vikings defensive players for a 9-1 victory over Vikings offensive players. Both times Romo peeked at the outfield as he was nearing first. Both times he raised his arm in celebration and both times his defensive teammates formed a tunnel for him to run through between third base and home. Punter Ryan Wright, who had outlasted tackle Brian O'Neill in the pregame home run derby, added a home run to start a four-run sixth for the defense, which also included a long ball by defensive lineman Harrison Phillips. Long snapper Andrew DePaola nearly pitched a shutout, missing the goose egg when Myles Gaskin singled, advanced on a hit by fullback and host C.J. Ham and scored on a hit by Trishton Jackson. The rally was thwarted a batter later when DePaola started a 1-3-6 double play, getting Aaron Jones out at first before Wright fired to second in time for a tag on Jackson. "Almost. I wanted the shutout bad, just for bragging rights. I was initially going for a no-hitter but blew that early," DePaola said before quipping, "Little surprised from the lack of offense this year from the offensive side." DePaola's line benefited from impressive catches by Theo Jackson that robbed a homer off the bat of tackle David Quessenberry in the top of the first and Andrew Booth, Jr., who jumped and snatched away a surefire homer off the bat of tight end Johnny Mundt. Booth's shining night in the outfield and as a table setter who led off the game with a single. He reached on a throwing error and added an RBI single later in the game. Booth said, holding the trophy claimed by the defense. "I played baseball my whole life, until ninth grade really, and then I stopped and came back for my senior year. The most fun I ever had playing high school sports. I kind of overran that ball, but I was excited. Got the hardware." Vikings veteran quarterback Sam Darnold and rookie J.J. McCarthy manned third and shortstop, respectively, flashing leather and showing their strong throwing arms on multiple occasions. The tandem combined to retire Pat Jones II after the outside linebacker found himself in a pickle that ended the top of the second. O'Neill, DePaola and Ivan Pace, Jr., each hit two home runs during the first round of the derby and went through a series of three-pitch playoffs to see who would advance to face Wright for the championship. O'Neill and DePaola each hit a homer to advance, and O'Neill mustered another to face Wright, an elite high school player hyped that his college alma mater Tulane qualified for the NCAA Tournament (as a No. 4 seed set to play Oregon State in a regional game tonight). "It felt like old times. I grew up a baseball guy. Baseball is still my favorite sport," Wright said. "Obviously, I play football now, but baseball will always have a special place in my heart. It was good to see I could still make contact with the ball." Amidst the booms, clean line drives, pop flies and squibblers, Vikings teammates enjoyed the opportunity to connect with each other and fans at the third annual game. The event was created in 2022 as a fundraiser for the Thielen Foundation by former Vikings receiver Adam Thielen and his wife Caitlin. Now entering his second season with the Carolina Panthers, Thielen asked Ham to pinch hit as the host this year. https://www.vikings.com/news/2024-celebrity-softball-game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Not sure I see Chase surpassing Jefferson. I think it’s really going to depend on what CeeDee Lamb gets. I do agree that a contract with Chase is unlikely to happen until next year, and who knows how that might impact things. Especially if we see another significant bump in the salary cap. I think CeeDee Lamb’s floor for a new deal is a $32M AAV contract. If it’s more than that, say closer to $34M, then it could get interesting as to where Chase’s deal lands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
