We discuss whether the new MLB rules are working and how MLB is squandering an opportunity by not ending blackout restrictions and preview the Minnesota Wild's and Minnesota Timberwolves' playoff draws.
New MLB Rules Working?
The Twins and Marlins played a 1-0 game in less than two hours
Games are running a full 30 minutes shorter than last year
Two hours into an MLB game, 90 percent of fans are in their seats; a half hour later, just 80 percent remain…
Minnesota Twins Games NOT Included with Bally Sports+ Streaming Service
Anthony is pissed; requested a refund
Apparently you need the cable subscription AND the streaming app to access Twins games
Need just the streaming app for Wild, Lynx, and Timberwolves
MLB.TV still not showing blacked out games, as MLB commissioner Rob Manfred promised
Bankruptcy could take a while to complete
Diamond Sports Group made a single payment to retain the rights to San Diego Padres’ games
The 13 other teams will likely be broadcast by MLB at some point
Wild Lose Shaw, but Gaining Kaprizov and Nyquist
Mason Shaw tore his ACL for the fourth time at Vegas on Saturday
One of either Kirill Kaprizov or Gustav Nyquist will play on Saturday against the Blues
Dean Evason indicated that neither would play both back-to-back games on Monday and Tuesday
Three-way tie between Colorado, Dallas, and Minnesota atop the Central Division
Colorado has a game in hand
Wild will likely face Dallas in first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs
Timberwolves Play Their Worst Game at Wrong Time but Rebound Nicely
Worst loss against the spread in 28 years
They were -19.5 favorites over the Trailblazers in Portland on Sunday; lost by two
Karl-Anthony Towns took three shots
Held off the Nets, 107-102, Tuesday
Towns took more shots in the first four minutes than he did all game in Portland
He also finished the game, hitting big shots and key free throws down the stretch
Sit ninth in the standings but are just a half-game back of New Orleans in eighth
They play in Minneapolis on Sunday at 2:30 p.m.
Next game is at San Antonio on Saturday at 3 p.m.
They are not at all trying to win
Could very well end up in eighth, which is where you want to be
Only need to win one play-in game to make the playoffs
