Well, Wilson went down on my fantasy team, so what the hell, Cousins gets the start. This should be amusing.

AFL Report:
Scottsdale 8, Peoria 2.
Matt Wallner was 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBIs.
Andrew Bechtold was 1-for-4.
Michael Helman was 2-for-4 with a double.
Zach Featherstone pitched one inning, giving up one run on two hits and a walk and striking out one.
Vikings gotta Viking.
I think I'm actually a little disappointed that they pulled it off.
One does start to feel that way,… rooting for the spectacle.
I was expecting a blocked figgie returned for a TD.
Cutter: He invented the pitch to find a way to get out Joe Mauer. He wanted a pitch to neutralize lefthanded hitters on the inside part of the plate. The cutter has more horizontal movement and more velocity than the slider, making it ideal for that purpose.
Eddie Wheels.
Kirk got 34.00 points off of projected 22.66. Solid, yo.
Eddie being Eddie.
Eddie being good Eddie.
That play at second wasn't skill. That was luck.
I won't argue against that. It was a high-risk, moderate reward move to take second, down by 2.
Ed-Dee! Ed-Dee!
Eddie just swinging away on the first pitch again.

Interesting article and hope its more than a headline. Buried in the story is Sinclair really in a bad financial shape right now
I'll believe it when I see it

They can't afford to rely on colleges to replace the minors. Too many kids will learn how to read.
Anecdote just now that Scherzer developed a new pitch because he couldn't get Joe Mauer out.
2019 article from Sports Illustrated says he developed his cutter to get Mauer out.
