    Meanwhile, if I’m Festa, I’m already on my way to have a chat with the official scorer.

    Electric? I’d say Nice. Very Good. (Admittedly, TD writers have call his arm electric about a thousand times.) Still, about every team in the league has a Festa or two emerging. And many are not already 25 years old as is our guy.

    Nope. SWR

    It wouldn’t have been a wild pitch. That’s the TRICK! No. The Twins wouldn’t have scored on Ball 1

    btw…the days start getting shorter now
  6. jkcarew
    Need to go harder out of the box.
  7. jkcarew
    1 run on 4 hits after the HR. That’s hard to do.
  8. jkcarew
    This makes 2 of the 3 starters in this series for the Brewers younger than both Festa and Matthews.

    Biggest difference with Buxton is he’s not chasing nearly as much. That was a great at-bat. Made the pitcher give in.

    And remember: if you want to see Raya pitch in St Paul…you need to have left your house about 30 minutes ago.

    Twin Citians have to choose which really bad team to watch today in 96-degree heat and 70% humidity. Twins or Saints. Tough call.
  12. jkcarew
    Huh? They THRIVE on apathy!
  13. jkcarew
    Been there for him the whole game…nothing but pitches off the plate outside.
  14. jkcarew
    You’d think it would be worth a try given the state of the bullpen, the score, and the offensive ineptitude.
  15. jkcarew
    You care to explain yourself, Ms. Vito?
  16. jkcarew
    The fact that Rocco doesn’t start Castro there is so confounding and frustrating. Quintana, not a K guy…hasn’t K’d anyone today. Correa not a high K guy. My god, take a chance! Send him and tell Correa to swing the bat. My god!

    Buxton trying to pull a pitch 6 inches off the plate.

    An affront to the game of baseball played at a professional level. Truly gross. Even Milwaukee played their part with the positional pitcher in the 9th. Gross. Meanwhile, you can assign blame anyway you like…I’m talking in general, not just this game…Rocco is 1000% part of the problem.
  19. jkcarew
    One that every team in the league could have had…many, including the Twins, passed on him twice.
  20. jkcarew
    The Twins took Prielipp 15 picks ahead of Misiorowski…who is more than a year younger than Prielipp. The key…Misiorowski wasn’t going to sign for what Prielipp was willing to sign for.
  21. jkcarew
    Leave it ALONE. Or blog somewhere else. Either will work.
  22. jkcarew
    34% K rate against right-handed pitching in AAA, makes him unplayable against righties with the Twins. And it’s tough to carry a guy like that with little/no defensive value when you have to carry a gazzillon relievers. I’d wait for when the team will face a spate of left-handed starters.
  23. jkcarew
    Intellectually, it would make some sense…for a low price. Emotionally, it’s depressing to even have to consider it.
  24. jkcarew
    Maybe. Meanwhile, $1.5B would have netted them $30M in a money market by now if they had accepted such an offer 6 months ago. And that’s not taking into account the finance charges on the debt that they continue to pay (or accumulate). I doubt the Pohlads are ‘dumb’ business-acumen wise. And they have all the info that we don’t. But, it could be that they are simply no longer (or never were) really motivated to sell at ‘market’. It’s the scenario that we fear most, probably.

    I don’t think it hurts a team’s value when the Yankees play 6-7 games in town instead of the Kansas City Royals. Also, Tampa St. Pete area is just about to blow past the Twin Cities metro in population, and is growing exponentially faster than the Twin Cities. When rich people buy assets, it’s not so much what the current value is, it’s much more about what the value is expected to be at some point in the future. I don’t see in any way how this puts upward pressure on the price of the Twins. And the debt is worse than no stadium. A stadium can be built. And when it’s built, you have another asset to offset the cost incurred. The Twins debt is money the Polads are hoping someone is willing to just dump down a drain for the privilege of owning the club.
