John Shipley: Hindsight and statistics make Wild’s Game 1 goaltender an easy call

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:06:45 GMT

Before last season’s first-round playoff series against the St. Louis Blues, the Wild were burdened with a goalie quandary characterized as the old “good problem to have.” In the end, it was a bad problem to have because, for whatever reason, they fumbled it.After Cam Talbot and Marc-Andre Fleury split time down the stretch of the regular season, each helping the Wild earn a franchise-record 113 points and 53 wins, management rolled with trade-deadline acquisition Fleury for the first five games and lost the series, 4-2.Guess what the Wild had this week as they prepared for Monday’s night’s NHL playoff opener at Dallas.“A good problem to have,” Bill Guerin said.That was the general manager’s answer when asked last week how the team will choose between Fleury, who signed a two-year contract extension before the June draft, and Filip Gustavsson, acquired from Ottawa for Talbot, who was so angry about the playoffs and Fleury’s subsequent contract extension that he immediately requested...

‘Proud’ Lin-Manuel Miranda comes to watch cousin Jose Miranda play

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:06:45 GMT

NEW YORK — Lin-Manuel Miranda did not throw away his shot to watch his cousin play on Sunday in the Bronx.The “Hamilton” creator and Emmy, Tony and Grammy Award winner tried to come see Jose Miranda, his second cousin, play last September during his rookie season, but the game was washed out and the pair went out to a large family dinner instead. Sunday, he finally had a chance to take in one of Jose’s games.“I’ve been watching the games ever since he got moved up, but it’s really thrilling to get to see him in person,” Lin-Manuel Miranda said. “And Hamilton’s playing in (Minneapolis) right now, so it’s a weird coincidence.”Before the game, Jose showed Lin-Manuel around the Twins clubhouse and introduced him to manager Rocco Baldelli, president of baseball operations Derek Falvey and some of his teammates. He then took him into the dugout, where the songwriter, playwright and composer posed for some pictures.Jose Miranda and a big fan. pic.twitter.com/t52VYy1lRx— Betsy H...

Noah Davis pitches great in first start but Rockies lose, 1-0, to Mariners

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:06:45 GMT

Seattle’s Luis Castillo flirted with perfection and Noah Davis answered the Rockies’ prayers in a wonderful pitchers’ dual at T-Mobile Park Sunday afternoon.In the end, however, the Rockies tumbled, again, falling 1-0 for their fifth consecutive loss and getting swept by the Mariners in the three-game series.Seattle won the game in the sixth inning on Jarred Kelenic’s two-out, run-scoring single off lefty reliever Brad Hand. But don’t blame Hand, blame the crucial walks issued by right-hander Dinelson Lamet — one to Ty France to lead off the inning, the other to Cal Raleigh with one out — that set up Kelenic’s hit that brought home France.The Rockies, desperate for a quality start, called up Davis from Triple-A Albuquerque to fill in for injured right-hander German Marquez. Making his first start in the majors, Davis was outstanding. He blanked the Mariners for five innings, giving up three hits (all singles), with three walks and five strik...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 22:06:45 GMT

OAKLAND – The A’s days in Oakland are numbered, as far as Reggie Jackson is concerned.Jackson, who at one point wanted to purchase the A’s from former owners Steve Schott and Ken Hofmann, believes the team will have no choice but to vacate the East Bay in the coming years because of low revenue issues created by their decaying 55-year-old stadium.“No, they’re not going to have a team here. You can’t play with three, four, five six thousand people in the stands,” Jackson said Sunday at the Coliseum before the A’s held a celebration for the 1973 World Series championship team. “You have no revenues here.
