    I do have a pretty good idea of a few of your posts over the last few offseason. So you assume wrong. I usually enjoyed your comments due to the optimism and outlay and reasoning behind many them. I guess the sudden change in your outlook took me by surprise. The recent about face from opinionated optimistic support to the less than optimistic view maybe warranted for sure. But I miss the optimism…. Not that my opinion matters.
  2. Twinsrtheworst
    No offense but you may have the words optimistic and pessimistic mixed up?
  3. Twinsrtheworst
    I hear ya and have some valid points. However, our roster is not set, he would b better than Vasquez, so that is an upgrade. But who’s to say he’s on the roster come April. My point is , are we supposed to be angry about every secondary move? That would make for a long season.
  4. Twinsrtheworst
    I believe the point of this trade is to hold on wait for it…. bring in a back up catcher. Nothing more, nothing less. It’s just a back up catcher.
  5. Twinsrtheworst
    Soooo if I got this correct. We are upset and concerned about what he did not say. While also being outraged by what he did say. Maybe pick a lane? Or just be angry at everything…. I guess it adds to clicks, comments and the bottom line. Wait are we not also outraged about the Pohlands adding to the bottom line?

    Another article about the same subject. Feed the beast TD. Meanwhile in real baseball, a great World Series. Emma is healthy and playing baseball. But yet TD reports on neither. I honestly wonder if this sight even knows these aforementioned activities are happening.
  7. Twinsrtheworst
    You definitely did not upset me, however you did try so please don’t say you didn’t try to be hateful. Saying fans like me are the reason the Twins do not commit to winning is absurd, I just hope you see that. MY SUPPORT IS GEARED 100 PERCENT TO THE PLAYERS. I have made life long friends with. a few of them. I enjoy the game and am able to objectively separate my emotions and feeling from the owners to the players. If you disagree with any of this, it’ becomes a you problem, as you are welcome to your opinion.

    So you won’t attend a Twins game or watch them because you don’t want to spend the money supporting them. But yet you spend your time as a moderator of a Twins Fan sight? That’s weird considering time is more valuable than money. Tell me you don’t have a clue without telling me you have no clue.
  9. Twinsrtheworst
    So, I’m the reason they are not dedicated to winning. Got it. Now it all makes sense now.
  10. Twinsrtheworst
    Forget it. You know what? Your opinions honestly don’t matter to me.
  11. Twinsrtheworst
    You sound like part of the problem though, not part of the solution.. You did put words in my mouth the first time you quoted me. I kindly asked you not to is all. No need to be condescending towards me however. I stopped reading when you went off the rails. But it sounds like to me you actually pinch your Pennies more than the Pohlands do. Enjoy listening to the Twins on your transistor radio and then complaining about them on here. Sounds like a great solution.. How has that worked out for you so far?
  12. Twinsrtheworst
    Ok then in your opinion, were would the Twins need to rank in the American League to draw over 2 million fans? Would they need to win 100 games like 19 when they drew 2.3? The regurgitated phrase I was referencing was the Pohlands suck and Falvey is the worst. So please don’t twist m words. And what about the not close to sell out of home playoff games? Did Falvey prevent that also? I’m not defending ownership or Falvey. There is plenty room for improvement across the board in the organization. But I will always support my team. That is our own personal decision. But if we choose not to support them how much does it help by choosing that path and expecting payroll to increase while coming on message boards and regurgitating the Pohlands are cheap and Falvey is the worst.. Also you kind of made my point that fan disinterest started prior to the 2023 offseason.
  13. Twinsrtheworst
    Agree 100 percent. It was definitely an incomprehensible statement to come out and say we need to “right size” our payroll.. And numerous questionable decisions for sure to say the least. And in hindsight the Correa signing did not work out for us long term. But I do appreciate the effort.
  14. Twinsrtheworst
    Other than the fact April record was better than August and July was similar as well .After an offseason of acquiring Pablo.. Then of course the empty seats for home playoff games. I agree winning will bring in more fans. But our payroll has always been related to the years previous attendance. But to say fans became disinterested after 2023, to me it sounds like most were disinterested before the 2023 season started going by attendance figures..
  15. Twinsrtheworst
    In 2023 the Blue Jays drew over 3 million fans to the ballpark. The Twins drew under 2 million. Do the math. Way too many empty seats in a season of fun baseball and playoff baseball. Are we positive this didn’t contribute to the 25 million dollar decrease in payroll. Attendance went up just over 100,000 from 2022 to 2023. The cold reality is fun winning playoff baseball didn’t put substantially more butts in the seats.. Context and facts should matter still. I get it though, it’s just easier to simply regurgitate the Poland’s are cheap and Levine is the worst.
  16. Twinsrtheworst
    Will really be pulling for The Surge to make the playoffs. I know it means so much to those in player development as well as the players. But n AA.
  17. Twinsrtheworst
    I could be wrong, but I was always under the assumption that payroll was based on the previous seasons revenue. I know it was in multiple articles here on TD a few years back. Part of revenue is based on attendance and TV/Streaming revenue. In 2023 and 2024 payrolls exceeded most of our expectations and I’m sure exceeded the designated percentage of revenue. The Streaming money went down, the viewership when down, and the attendance went down. Even in 2023 attendance was not good in my opinion considering we were a competitive and fun team and couldn’t sell out home playoff games.. Considering the Twins revenue really dropped this year, Going off history, yes I’d expect payroll to drop again for next season. I expect most organizations also follow the same structure. Yes there are outliers. As a fan I hate it, But will make the best of it I guess. Were I live out of state it’s mostly relocated Yankee fans. They all are amazed of my stubborn loyalty to the Twins, considering I wasn’t born there. I’ve been told I should seek professional help, sarcastically I think. Loyalty is one of my best qualities, but in this case it may be my worst trait.

    Hands down, the most impactful article I have read on here. That’s not a slight to other articles.. It makes me smile hearing this young man share his faith.
  19. Twinsrtheworst
    Yes, this is what selling looks like. Things go sideways quickly. From bad to worse.
  20. Twinsrtheworst
    1. But Jeffers is not a weak side tandem catcher.. And I promise, there will Always be another catcher to back him up. 2. Plus Noah’s arrow is pointing up in AAA. 3. Replacing the Vasquez production will actually cost less than what we are paying Vazquez.
  21. Twinsrtheworst
    Yes, I’m hoping to see Keaschell again this year. Would love to see Gonzo as well. I guess I just wish we had some exciting replacements ready now, like Emma and Jenk. For me anyways I feel like I kinda know what Martin is and don’t have a ton of hope in Sabato. II guess I’m turning from optimism to being pessimistic about things. Anyway thanks for the chat and responses.
  22. Twinsrtheworst
    Hey, his son is in the Red Sox org. Not a rated prospect from what I know. But maybe we steal him before he busts out. Lil payback 🙂
  23. Twinsrtheworst
    I see we’re your coming from. But in my opinion if you are starting Sabato, Martin, and Keaschell now…. And they show minimal, which is what should be expected, then do we run em out there again next year? If they tank which is possible, then I guess what’s that telling to any of our vets. I guess I’m just saying there are unintended consequences to everything. I’m not saying you are wrong by any means. Just that things can go from bad to unrecoverable quickly. Though I believe Keaschell is legit.
  24. Twinsrtheworst
    Agree with trading the rentals and see what we can get. What kids in the system do we let play? Honestly asking. As for Rooker, the only team that saw what he could become was the A’s. And they had been bad for awhile and in a position to see if he could stick. That being said yes still a loss by the Twins. I just don’t recall anybody on here claiming he was going to be a loss. It’s much easier to see this as a miss by us after the fact.
  25. Twinsrtheworst
    Has it occurred to you with your 20/20 hindsight vision, it’s most likely no other team was interested in Julien even when he was going good. Just because he should have been traded Does Not mean there was a team that would have given anything for him…. They saw him for who he is. Time to put those non helpful hindsight glasses away. Or I guess just keep kicking that dead horse.
