I have just resigned myself to the fact I will have to continue to pirate my local teams. If you are consistently de-incentivizing fans to watch your product, you are the problem. Bring the content back to Youtube TV and others, or continue to wonder why your streaming numbers are ass and no one tunes into your games. The Dave Benz thing is just a kick in the face. Bally is the worst.

Scouring the Twins System for Relief Help
Twinsrule1991 replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Seems like we have a glut of rotation options currently, any chance we call up a team in the NL (maybe San Diego?) and see if we can send a guy like Chris Paddack for some relief help. I hear Taylor Rogers is pretty good. In all seriousness, I'd love to see Moran up here. We know he has the stuff. Let him develop up here and I think he will be solid in the long term.- 24 replies

Your Most Controversial Baseball Opinion
Twinsrule1991 replied to Vanimal46's topic in Other Baseball
Here's my top 4: Bring back the stakes to the All Star Game. Home Field Advantage being determined by the AS is fun and makes baseball unique, plus adds some actual value to hosting the game. Hard cap the amount of pitchers on the major league roster to 10 and remove the ability to shuttle relievers up and down to AAA. It's killing the sport to have all these pitching changes and lack of identifiable, quality starting pitching. Pitchers need to learn to pitch longer and go through the order more than twice. Strikeouts count as 1.5 outs. 2 Ks in an inning makes 3 outs. I'm so sick of watching people strike out. Baseball will cease (or is in the process of ceasing) to be relevant if they can't make their sport more enjoyable and entertaining. NO ROBO UMPS. Human error is part of life. Get over it. Mistakes happen. Getting steamed at the umpire makes sports fun and adds controversy and entertainment. This desire to make everything 100% correct is slowing down the game and killing the fun aspects of baseball. -
I mean, this was the biggest concern going into the season. Who is going to pitch, and more focused, who is going to pitch high leverage relief innings? Duffey ain't the answer and I'm not sure where the help is going to come from. Expecting Wes Johnson to just work his magic isn't cutting it anymore. I hope they figure this out because the 2021 stink is still hanging in the air and things are NOT looking good.

What To Do With Miguel Sano
Twinsrule1991 replied to Cody Pirkl's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Aren't we just all tired of the same old ******** year in and year out? It's just exhausting. I get that he is an above average player, but his game is borderline unwatchable after all these years and it might be best for both sides to just have a clean break, hopefully as soon as the trade deadline. Not sure we can get much for him, but anything is something I guess.- 65 replies

It's not only the ticket prices, it's the amount they charge for all the other items at the ballpark (not to mention the absurd fees). I am completely over paying $15 for a shitty Bud Light to watch a team that will struggle to win 81 games this year. Not gonna rip others for doing it, but it just ain't for me.

I could tell this game went pear-shaped because they were still playing when we left Target Center. Get 'em today!

5 Bold Twins Predictions for 2022
Twinsrule1991 replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I can appreciate the bold takes here, but this team won't sniff the postseason as currently constructed. I just don't see them piecing together this bullpen and rotation enough to have any sustained success. I'd like for them to prove me wrong, but it's unlikely.- 17 replies

This trade doesn't move the needle and our bullpen is significantly worse. The margins for error on this team are too thin to expect anything come October except for a front office change, especially when our bullpen looks like this.

Hey, look at that. This rotation has gone from making me want to gouge my eyes out with a fork to now only wanting to spoon them out with a wooden ladle. Long way to go if they have any desire to sniff postseason play, but I guess this is a start.

Falvey Shows Flexibility in Twins Decisions
Twinsrule1991 replied to Ted Schwerzler's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
The ability to be flexible and pivot is fine, but if the results are the same as previous, does it even matter? I think they definitely work in a unique way, but that hasn't led to any meaningful success, which is why we are all here in the first place.- 33 replies

Joe Mauer Reviews Dune
Twinsrule1991 replied to RandBalls Stu's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Can't wait for Mauer's review of Squid Game next... -
Was just wondering if anyone has heard from or knows what's up with Derek Wetmore? He kind of disappeared after the Twins playoff games last year and has not been active on social media or his podcast since. He makes great content, but I am also wondering if he is ok in general. Just want to make sure he is alright. Thanks.

Twins Hinting at a Huge Month
Twinsrule1991 replied to Ted Schwerzler's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Time for them to put their money where their mouth is. We are in danger of being lapped by the Sox if we stand pat. The window is about as open as can be. Jump through it. -

Same Old Story: Another Abject Postseason Failure
Twinsrule1991 replied to Nick Nelson's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
What Rocco will say: “These guys BATTLED. We played them TOUGH and are looking forward to building on this next year. I am so PROUD of these guys.” What Rocco should say: "That wasn't good enough and that's not acceptable. Changes our coming and the guys that are ALLOWED to hang around better figure this the **** out or they won't be here anymore. **** the Yankees. Go Marlins." -

Can Eddie Rosario Go the Other Way?
Twinsrule1991 replied to Matthew Trueblood's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Eddie has a lot of grit and hustle, but that isn't translating to results over a full season. His unwillingness to be more patient is a detriment to the lineup. This tendency to pull the ball into the shift only adds to that detriment and is a clear reason it might be time for the Twins to move on. I love Eddie, but I love winning more. -
Would we be though? I guess I view the farm different You still have Graterol, Kiriloff, Duran amongst others. I will fully admit I am more wary of Lewis than most. He was not good last year, but he still has a lot of talent. I just want to maximize the current window. I don't believe this hemorrhages the future, but that's just my thoughts.

You are also getting a first round pick when Betts turns down your qualifying offer, but I appreciate the insight.

I fully admit we won't be able to resign Betts, but the Twins have a deep enough farm system to survive the loss of Royce Lewis. I think this could be the type of deal that greatly increases our odds of winning now, without hemorrhaging the future in any long-lasting way. I think you are right on keeping the vision long-term, but at some point, you need to win championships and take risks. Otherwise, what's the point?
