  1. People, let's get real here: 1). There will be a loooonnnnggg strike to start next year; players won't give up the right to earn as much as they can, let alone rights to free agency clauses!!!!!! 2). Ober's arm is gassed, er um, shot...tops out at 88....no thanks, especially for 7 mil., or more!!! 3). Twins keep Ryan, Lopez, Bradley, Preilliep, and an acquired mid level starter next year (remember Pohlad said they would up the payroll..significantly 😉😉, but also remember..payrolls will be more balanced once the strike is finished, so he...Pohlad won't have a choice😉😉). MLB wants to have more salary balance between teams; right now just hand trophy to the Dodgers annually, with Yankees, Phillies, Cubs, Braves, Red Sox always filling in occasionally as next runnerup annually, meaning always filling playoff spots do to high payrolls (and, I know, having high payrolls doesn't guarantee anything, but I would take my odds to Vegas though)! 😎. I will say Tampa and Cleveland have done exceptionally well with low payrolls annually though... touche'! Keep young position player studs, outside Royce (trade), in addition to finding a couple multi-position players (not scrap heap either) to fill in when others need a rest. Next year, I would want to be ultra aggressive on base paths, putting more pressure on other teams pitchers, catchers and outfielders with base gambling...I like my odds there!!! Better odds of winning %-wise, plus, makes games more interesting and exciting. Lastly, more in-game sound effects/music, like Yankee Stadium; we don't go to funerals and cemeteries to watch games!!!!!!! We need an "experience", especially when you need to take out a loan just to see a game with a family!!!! Your welcome! Go Wild 🏒
  2. Ty France...R U high? You love mediocrity! Twins are tight, always will be! I will never go to another Twins game, until MLB fixes payroll disparities and ownership actually wants to be successful! Period!!!!!!!!!!
  3. Don't put forth to have a winning team is a "no-go" for me! Besides: a strike next year, can't already afford to go to games, can"t find a place to even watch your home team on TV (I have cable..harder to find...now you need all these streaming platforms), and you have the "haves and have not" team payrolls discrepancies. Nice try MLB, meaning lose customer base, let alone future customer base!!!
  4. Put forth a viable and fair product worth coming to and fans will show, don't....and see ya turnstiles, meaning attendance lower than this season's dismal one! Owners spend thriftily fans do accordingly! This isn't rocket science. 17 years with the "needed stadium or threaten to move" and payroll has gotten lower and lower! Besides, baseball isn't fair anyway, being big markets (cough, like Dodgers and other ilk) outspend Guardians Rays, Marlins, Rockies, Royals, Twins
  5. Laurnach won't be around. He is a nice guy, but average hitter! Jenkins needs slightly more minor league seasoning.
  6. Ahhh...you don't get a hamstring strain, pulled lat, groin pull, dislocated shoulder, etc, meaning yes, I know, but.....the equivalent (workplace related) is sickness, laziness, not showing up at all or insubordination as, somewhat, relative comparison, that is all I was saying! You don't pull a hamstring sitting at a desk, or get hurt by tossing scrap paper into a waste paper basket! 😉😎
  7. I know, but he would if it is amicable in the end to all parties, meaning Twins, new team and his wife/kids.
  8. Nice guy...overrated somewhat! No way in heck this guy shouldn't drive in 90+ runs, score 80+, steal 30 bases and be on the field 9 out of 10 games (dh included). Period! Like Bud Grant said: "The best ability is availability"! Trade him this off-season; waayyy injury liability. Does your boss let you call in sick, feel tired not to show up at all, etc, 1-2 work week days every three weeks and be o.k. with that?! Didn't think so!
  9. No! Team will be under .500 at season end, maybe 10 games under. They had a chance, especially with a good group of solid guys whom have really overachieved! Shame on the Twins ownership for basically giving the fans the double barrel middle fingers when this division was the easiest of all to win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Middle finger back to them! Actually, at start if season, I thought they would go 70-92, but kudos to the guys!
  10. Obviously, arm is shot; he can't throw harder than 90 and basically is a soft tosser, and very few of those are successful in MLB....they get hit....hard!!!
  11. I'm not, obviously, taking about whole facility, but generators to keep kiosks, wi-fi, ticket/gates open and functioning...oh, and payment aspects so tills/credit card mechanisms work, etc. so customers can still eat/drink until problem is remedied. You can't have people milling around, no food, no water, no wi-fi, freezing (game was rainy and cold)!!!! Heck, refund all guests with future game vouchers! No one will be at later season games anyway; team stinks!!!!!!! 😎
  12. Ahh..hospitals have backup generators, Microsoft's campus, Hennepin County Jail, etc , etc , etc., heck, even XCEL Energy main facilities! Touche'!
  13. Twins stadium power outage is symbolic of their team, no pun intended! How the ____ don't you have a backup generator for stadium, let alone checked the issue...before fans entered the stadium?! Yes, I do know that incliment weather is around the area, but still; never heard of this type of thing happening before for such an extended period of time, let alone for first game! Twins owners need to sell team, otherwise they will lose more monies by disinterested fans not going to games at all! Period!
  14. One positive for the Twins is their depth of starting pitching (when all are healthy). Imagine a healthy staff of Lopez, Ryan, Bradley, SWR, and Abel, let alone Festa and (can't remember decent pitcher who pitched late last season but us in AAA now...leave Ober out). That rotation is grade A. If they can keep those, and they stay healthy, then they actually spend money defensively/offensively....look out! But, Twins ownership spends on the dime instead of on the dollar...never mind!!!!!!!!!!!!
  15. Lewis face flop on the infield fly summizes the Twins! Ugly!!!!
  16. How bout struggles against right-handers?! Team stinks! Putrid garbage! They should pay us to watch on TV or go to a home game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get the drift!!!🤡s=Twins front office and ownership! Do they actually think we are that gullible?!
  17. Bunch of "Punch and Judy" players! Boooorrrriiinnnggg! Twins may not hit above "Mendoza Line" for a team this season! Terrible! I said 68-94 before season started, now I predict 65-97. Their total losses may be better than their team average!
  18. Team stinks! Ryan, Buxton, and Luke are the only guys worth keeping! Season record prediction: 69-93! Offense is horrendous! Good luck putting butts in seats by May 15! Then Twins ownership/front office will say "we can't make it in this small market"! Team doesn't spend money on a competitive team to make us back them, meaning little interest and lower attendance #s! Duh!!!!!!
  19. Gonzolez and Rodriguez got sent down...and they were "hot", meaning actual.players going north....stink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a joke and travesty!!!
  20. I don't how nice a guy or how good an infielder he is he doesn't belong in an MLB roster. Heck, pitchers, when National League didn't have the D.H., hit better. He can''t even come close to the "Mendoza Line"! Unreal, meaning unreally bad! Another reason the Twins stink! Bye bye attendance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, and....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤪
  21. The verdict: they all stink!!! 68-94 season...we're coming...right down the biffer, aka porcelain throne! Ugly!!!!!!! I haven't seen such garbage Twins team since the Calvin Griffith days of being on the cheap!!! I'm " Ballstradomus"! 🤪
  22. No path forward, but to stink! Putrid!!!! Pohlads think fans will come...yea right...maybe to see stars on other team! Nah.....to expensive to go even then! Pass!
