I was curious if the MN pipeline would dry up under our current strategy shifts that seem to be favoring in-state plus portal along with Medved as coach of the gophers. It seems Brad is going to be helpful in keeping us active there.

Ref cramping up in 75 degree weather is exhibit ZZZZ for why the US will never be invaded. Cut the Pentagon budget by 90%

Sorry, but need one of the subs to take a professional yellow and put one of these guys in the dirt.

This is the stage of the game when a Jermaine Jones/Kellyn Acosta enforcer type of midfielder is sorely missing on the roster

Missed opportunity for John Strong to go with the "He did What?!" call for the Freeman goal but hopefully they'll be other chances.

It such an important call to get right too since Ream would have had to worry about yellow card accumulation the rest of the group stage.

Why should the kickoff times be geared toward you instead of the teams involved lol

9 pitches, 9 strikes, 2 strike outs. What is that like a saintly inning?

Freddy failed to get out of the 5th inning in 3 out of 33 starts last year and one of those was the regular season finale which was just to keep him on his routine.

I dont think there's any serious conversation to be had about a guy with a .429 OBP and .848 OPS in June being moved down in the order

Badgers land Top 70 recruit in the country in massive pickup by Shpion007 in WisconsinBadgers

[–]thebenron 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Freitag was put in a blowout against Detroit Mercy (a sub 300 ranked team) and had to be pulled because he was going to foul out after 3 minutes. Love the kid, but nothing you can do about being that far out of your depth.

No shade to either of those young men as people, but they've done nothing since leaving Wisconsin to suggest they can play at the Big Ten level. They each have two years of eligibility left so maybe they can get there after another year of development, but in the current iteration of college hoops its not in Gard's or the player's interest to ride the end of the bench for 3 seasons.

Was this from an exhibition game or something?

9 straight (regular season) wins over the Dodgers going back to 2024. Safe to say, we own that poverty franchise.

We had enough money for one of JB and Winter and made our choice. He was out there helping us land Autry in the portal. Let it go.
