Ags win!!

Time for Marwin to open the floodgates

Or not...

Springer, Bergman, Marwin

What the hell?

Altuve needs to lead off for a few games. George ain't gettin' it done.

If the offense doesn't come alive this weekend against the Rangers... then I'll start to worry. Right now I think we will be fine

Well...I remember what happened last time this convo came up.

I almost added an asterisk because I knew this would come up...

Right around the end of game 1 of the WS, perhaps?

Great catch by George

Really? No Julia lovers out there?

They need to stop watching so many pitches

What a night to forget. Woof.

Need alex and George to get hot. I'm sure they will soon

well, I posted last week that Keuchel was the weak link in the rotation. And indeed he is.

his agent needs to remind him that this is a contract year

Our entire offense has been in a funk for the last week or so. Very strange

Correa has hit into 5 or 6 double plays in the last 4 games. That's not helping

Guilty!

Julia doesn't do it for me. Nice legs but that's about it

Yep. No effing reason for Minne-****ing-sota to build an outdoor stadium. just terrible.

I love cold weather, but baseball is not meant to be played in it.

Minnesota went from having the Vikings, Twins, and Gophers all at the Metrodome to each of them playing in separate stadiums. Now the Twins and Gophers play outside. That's a lot of money to spend on stadiums.

It's like this for maybe a couple weeks a season when it's a bad winter. It's been a rough April weather wise here. You build an outdoor stadium here because the summers are amazing and it's criminal to play indoor baseball in the summer when it's 80 outside.

Both teams have to deal with it, we just sucked last night, and I braved the cold to watch it.

Today it'll be at least 45 around first pitch. I'll be sitting first row behind the tarp on the third base line.

Now this is a crazy idea, not sure if it even will ever exist. But wouldn't it be great if they could build a stadium that had a roof that you could close for bad weather and open for good weather?

Madness!

That kind of technology is years away if not decades.

They at least tore down the old one and didn't try to turn it in to "conference space"

All that additional expense, and most stadiums with the retractable option are open what, maybe 10% of the time? It's an interesting debate on which option. Atlanta, which gets pretty damn hot, went open air with their new stadium.

Yeah, they don't have the awkwardness of US Bank Stadium here sitting next to the old decrepit Metrodome

I just came back from the holy land and there were a lot of places we were standing in the spot that an important building used to stand. Since that trip, i have more appreciation for trying to save the first indoor stadium.

I have always wanted to save the Dome, if feasible, because I have such great memories there but comparing a sports stadium to the holy land is a big stretch, for me at least. I realize you're not trying to say they are equal in importance and get the sentiment - I'm not trying to make fun of you...but to me that's like saying that a visit to the Alamo inspired you to want to keep your childhood treehouse in your old backyard. Cool If it doesn't cost millions of people hundreds of millions of dollars.

New York and all their teams can suck it but you have to at least respect their tradition. If Yankee Stadium wasn't worth saving, I don't see how the dome is. If it's going to be self-sustaining and beneficial than great, but at the end of the day it's just sports. We are not talking about the Alamo.

Did you ever make it to Yankee? That place wasn't nice. It wasn't Shea bad, but it was ugly. It was nothing like Fenway or Wrigley with all the historical feel intact. Yankee must have had too many facelifts and renovations over the years and lost what made it special.

I agree about the Dome, I just wanted to drop in my thoughts on Yankee.

I did, and I agree. It was a Frankenstein's monster and the whole Yankee experience was not for me.

That, and it's New York. They can't really afford to let something sit and take up space.

I think you totally missed my point. The holy land isn't just a bunch of churches and places with spiritual significance. We went and saw ruins of 2,000 year old homes, businesses, theaters, and yes, coliseums. The astosdome is an architectural marvel and I think it's nice that someone is fighting to preserve it.
