    Is that enough to leapfrog Cleveland, Detroit, and KC? Offensively, this team just is not built well enough to score runs, so (as always) pitching and defense will be the key to 90+ wins. Dark days lie ahead of us.

    Huh?
  3. purplesoldier4u
    Realistically, what can be expected of Correa, Buxton, and Lewis? Move all three of them.
  4. purplesoldier4u
    I agree with what everyone is saying. Why protect him?
  5. purplesoldier4u
    Cleveland? Detroit? San Diego?

    Well, one has reached his peak and will only get worse while the other may never be great but has some upside ... I think.
  7. purplesoldier4u
    We might be more of Zebby and Festa than we want to in 2025.

    "We are talking about a very small group of individuals that can do this." It's not as small as it used to be.
  9. purplesoldier4u
    YES!

    I'm not so sure. As I've stated previously, the expanded TC media market is approximately 4.5 million strong and advertising futures will drive the value of the deal. It always astounded me how the Padres were able to negotiate a substantially better deal with the then FSN RSN than the Twins. Not only is their immediate market smaller but so is their expanded one!

    For those who don't fear the team being moved, look at the St. Louis Rams situation. Not exactly apples-to-apples, but the value of the vastly increased revue opportunity outweighed any possible legal ramifications. If the team is sold, I hope the fist person terminated is the bloviating self-promoter, Dave St. Peter!

    The cash cow is never gone, look at the NFL and NBA. MLB needs to change and the first place to start in to cut the season down to about 120 games and make sure the right owners are with teams in the right markets. That being the case, MLB teams still bring in a $100+ million in national revenue alone, but due to a few large market teams not wanting to share, the national deals will never explode like other leagues; hell, even the NHL is finally beginning to understand that

    Some day, Calos Correa will make a great first-baseman and/or DH!

    I'm not sure that isn't the a major difference in elite athletes.

    For a big as he was, he did pretty good. Sadly, had he taken better care of himself, he would have had a near HoF career ... not that those things mattered to him.

    Skimming the scrap heap, once again?
  17. purplesoldier4u
    No excuses. Play like a champion.

    For the sake of blaming the owners, the front office, the manager/coaches, and the players, one might say that the parenthetical chickens have come home to roost. Coming into this season, it appeared there was absolutely no formidable business plan, only hopes, prayers, and wishes.
  19. purplesoldier4u
    "For some, this fade--a second one in three years, whether it ends as badly as 2022 did or not--is confirmation that Baldelli is not a good manager. I disagree, vehemently. However, this tendency to struggle late in seasons--to go along with the grind and let it wear them to a nub, which we saw even to some extent in 2019 and 2020--does seem to be a pattern for his teams. That might be because, given the shape of the team they're trying to build, the organization has chosen the wrong model for the manager role." Umm, okay.
  20. purplesoldier4u
    If this team's future is one of Buxton and Correa being part-time players, we can expect more of the same ... especially if the owners keep the budget as low as this season.
  21. purplesoldier4u
    Zebby's last game was tough. Sometimes, and it's very early in his MLB career, it's good to get that eye-opening game to use as motivation.
  22. purplesoldier4u
    "Not Rocco's fault. Not Falvey and Levine's fault." They should share some of the blame. "That leaves ownership." Wherein most of the blame lies. " ... it’s a wonder these guys can even play .500." Thankfully, there are teams as medicocre, or worse, than the Twins! All said, there have been some pleasant discoveries, in unexpected areas, and that is a positive.
  23. purplesoldier4u
    I hope he wears inserts!
  24. purplesoldier4u
    Still missing Sonny Gray. 🥺
  25. purplesoldier4u
    St. Peter is eager to sign another bad deal.
