Hank Conger former 1st base coach, now assistant bench coach for the Twins is laid up. He was impersonating Bader who sometimes backpedals to catch flyballs. The first attempt went well, the second not so well. Popped something in his calf and it looks like he’s in a boot hobbling around the dugout.
Can’t make that up. Even the coaches on this club can’t stay on the field…..
We’re back baby! Ryan for Cy Young, Correa MVP!!!! All we do is win………………………against bottom feeders……
In my experience, dethatching and aerating is more important. I didn’t aerate for the first ten years of living in my home. Grass got super patchy and I couldn’t get seed to grow. I tried overseeding and because the ground underneath the new dirt was so compacted, the seed and new dirt was overtaken by moss because the water just sat in the new dirt and didn’t penetrate the old dirt.
I like overseeding a lot, but make sure your original topsoil is ready for it.
Happy Easter everyone. Don’t forget why we actually celebrate it also…..
I actually think Gleeman is a good writer, he’s just a typical analytics nerd who never played the game and that makes him think he knows everything. I am the biggest baseball fan, played through D1 college, and I can barely watch the game because of those types. It’s sad, really.
I’ve officially been blocked by Gleeman on Twitter. I got into it with him the other day about Jax because he keeps reporting and talking about how his BABIT (don’t ask me what it stands for, but reporters use it as an excuse for pitchers who are struggling having “bad luck”), makes Jax one of the unluckiest pitchers in baseball. Yet he has had multiple stretches where he cannot get a batter out over the past few seasons. I wasn’t even arguing the fact that he has been a good pitcher the last two years. Well I sent him a message yesterday wondering if these past few outings have shot a hole in his BABIT argument for Jax?
No response, just blocked. He’s such a little baby when he gets proved wrong about something, which is fairly often. He annoys the hell out of me.
Our family has gone to two saints games already this year. Great ballpark to take kids to and its better baseball to watch. Typically high scoring and they have plenty of high end prospects to watch, a few who will be in the starting lineup with the big club maybe even at some point this year. And you get to hear a crazy Japanese guy cover classic songs in between innings where half the crowd doesn’t understand that it’s a bit, which makes it even more hilarious. That guy kills me.
We went Sunday and sat on the grass berm in left field for $5 each. It was great.
The Twins are getting what they deserve this year. The team is boring, the play is boring, the manager is an idiot, and they didn’t put anything into the team or stadium over the off season. What did you expect.
Vanilla Joe Mauer was their ideal employee.
Ain’t that the truth.
You could get reincarnated Casey Stengel or Connie Mack and they wouldn’t be able to win with this ownership group.
Agreed, but at least they could get someone in here that could put a roster together of players that can hit something other than fastballs, get on base, and play defense and stay at least competitive. These guys we have now have no accountability, don’t get any heat from management for not improving/adjusting, and a manager that is the most clueless moron when it comes to in game moves. I could take 9 hand picked bench players from around the league and put a lineup together that could sweep this team.
The silver lining of this awful mess is this will be the season we finally get rid of Rockhead and maybe even Falvey.
I don’t have much issue with it, looks fun. The only thing I’ve seen is some of them don’t know the difference between invasives and native fish. I’m sure as it gets more popular they will be regulated a little harder.
Welcher just smoked em. That’s what happened. He found a pattern and it held bigs all week long. Pretty unreal.
Got out this morning on a small WI lake. First off, why the heck are all WI launches horrible? Man that’s annoying.
Anyway, it was colder than we expected with water temps only at 47 at the highest. We threw Chatterbaits, spinners, jerks, cranks, and the kitchen sink at them. Caught two fish in about 4 hrs but one of them was quality. First bass of the year for me and it was 3.5-4 lbs. caught it on a lay down with a Texas rigged rage bug.
Had a pike bite off a chatterbait (shocker), and the only other bass came on a weightless wacky. Nice to start the season off with a good fish though.

Ryan will win the Cy Young…….Teams going to the World Series!!!!!! We’re back! 
I’ve had better luck with willow blades on my spinners but I’ll admit it’s not something I throw that much. I’m heading to a small WI lake Saturday morning that has a lot of little creek arm offshoots so I’m thinking it will have some areas that are quite a bit warmer than other lakes in the area. Warm enough? We’ll see. But hoping to get on a few fish.
Gonna be a great season. Our MLB best bullpen (named in the preseason) is killing it already……..
Look pretty good to me.
Before they got into the negotiations and the blackout, Bally’s/Fanduel/FSN was on the normal main package. After the blackout they made it so you had to upgrade to the tier that has MLB, NFL, NBA and NHL networks on it. $20 more per month.
That’s why I won’t pay for it. They are screwing everyone that used to get it with that lower tiered package.
Ribs are some of my favorite. Try a tri tip sometime. That’s my new favorite. Does great in the smoker, cheap cut, and ends up being the beefiest giant steak you’ve ever had.
I love smoking season! That gives me an idea……
I’ve loved my UL from Tuned Up Custom Rods. One of their best open water rods.
How does a guy with that many DUI’s get a captains license from the freaking Coast Guard?
TwinsTV is included in the Bally’s, now FanDuel, Tier on Xfinity.
That’s what I thought. I’m not paying anymore money to watch them so I’ll stick to listening on the radio. I’m still bitter that they think we should pay for something we all had in the regular cable package just because they couldn’t come to an agreement.
Guess the silver lining is it’s not as painful as having to actually SEE how bad they are.
I’ve got these chips available.
Thanks but I need Lakemaster chips. Guess I didn’t clarify that in my post.
Update.
I paid the $99 yearly package deal two days before and now it’s free. MLB told me they would get back to me on the refund. Overseas operators you can’t understand really pss me off. What a screwed up mess, and for me it’s not over.
Wait, it’s free now? I thought you had to pay the $99 to get the stream. Do you have an upgraded cable package so you get the TV channel?
Just need a WI chip now if anyone is willing to part with one.
Now that we got that figured out…….;) I’ve got my rods rigged and back in the boat for when I invade WI next week. Here’s the lineup:
Jerkbait (bone)
Lipless Crank (gold red eye shad)
Chatterbait (zman Evo sexy shad)
Jig (All Terrain AT PB&J)
T-Rig (Rage Bug Black/Blue)
Weightless Wacky Rig
Drop Shot
Strolling Rigii (Hayabusa Jighead with Spunk Shad)
Underspin (Kietech or Largo shad trailer)
Spinnerbait
Also have a frog and a magdraft rigged up, but I doubt they’ll be shallow enough for those by next week.
Got out today on White Bear just to run the motor a little bit. Everything seems good on the boat so I think next week I’m gonna hit that lake in Wisconsin. I’ve been wanting to go for hopefully the water temps will be warmer than the 39° I found in White Bear.
Well look at that. Bader needs to be starting everyday.
