  1. If you plan for mediocrity, expect mediocrity! By the way, name one business, just one, where their goal is to be mediocre or average, maybe "just get by"?!!!!!!! On a larger note, how about having just having an average family, not great, but just getting by; don't try to be to good, be to successful, don't get to many DUIs, don't get divorced more than once, maybe only have 1 of your 3 kids be drug dependent, only have filed bankruptcy just once, etc. , etc.!!!! You get the drift, that is "the Twins way"!!! Lastly, if your family can't afford to be successful in the "big leagues", no pun intended, sell to someone or people who can!!! Drop mic, exit stage right😉
  2. No, being he is operating in the parameters set forth by the Pohlads. Give him the money and results should change.
  3. Simple...ahhhhh....NO!!!! They have destroyed their fanbase with their spending of being "small market"! "Middlin" is fine with them....and the stadium "experience"! Whatever!
  4. How is this even worth mentioning or worthwhile? Sell the team with news like this!!!!!!!!!
  5. Eddie Bane still alive? Pick him again 50+ years later....we're coming🤪
  6. Sell...sell..trade...trade.....go down to one million in team salary...and go 2-160, setting a never to be broken losing record. Might as well shoot for the best...er...um... worst, which they are obviously trying to do. My input helps them get there much faster! There...give me a $10 million a year salary for being g.m. for 8 years (Minny teams like long term contracts that go bust), with a signing bonus of $1 million (don't want to be too greedy ya know😉), and all years are guaranteed (being I will be fired after the first all-star break next year)! Bingo....or Yatze (both great names for dogs 🐶)!!!
  7. Outman is out man, no pun intended! He was good only one year, surrounded/protected by many star hitters on Dodgers, whereas not so much with Twins, meaning bye bye!
  8. Ahh.........no! They will be about 74ish in wins. Period! No zest...no zeal....no excitement.....no plan......no budget...........no fans. The ownership wants to lose money, not to mention fans, then blame it on either no interest or "small market" team. Whatever! O.K. Calvin Griffith.😉
  9. Twins got smoked in trades overall! Period! Half those won't even be with organization in 2 years, let alone a full year next year!!!!!!!
  10. The turnstiles won't be turning to much if Buck, Lopez or Ryan are traded, especially if all three are!!!! MLB has a MAJOR "have" and "have nots" problem with payroll disparity, with the big markets always in the playoff hunt...not so much for small market, with few exceptions! MLB is NOT fair at all! Oh, the Dodgers are favored to win the World Series next year...... shocker.......NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  11. This team is becoming irrelevant with the payrolls and selloffs! I wouldn't blame any player from jumping to another team. This team has become a major league team feeder for teams that spend, developing players, then taking them when they become desirable. Lastly, Minnesota has many things to do in the summer, outside dropping hundreds to take a family to a game, for a team that guarantees a sub .500 season....and 1% chance of sniffing playoffs. The state basically gave the Pohlads the stadium, and this is what we get!!!! MLB has a huge "have" and "have nots" disparity problem! Don't give me this "it is the atmosphere or game experience" garbage either, that no longer works. Oh, my bad, great marketing too: make watching them on tv more expensive, if you can get them at all...great idea!!!!!!!!!
  12. Trade....sell....all for top tier, multiple 1-3 prospects of teams being traded to. No more retreads or getting free agents that are basement level players, hoping for a revival year! Period!
  13. Cough....ahhh....never again! Sorry to break it to ya! .500 is what the ownership shoots for and the "experience" of the Twins stadium, which will cost you "a lot" to go with a few friends, especially out staters! Hard pass!
  14. This is like a phart in a warm church with no a.c.! Hardly a vote if any confidence or excitement for fans, which will be much less in attendance this year. I would rather go with young, untested "studs". This doesn't let the owners or front office off-the-hook for lack of spending, but certainly more entertaining squad, albeit still with a losing record, than old retreads or ones off the T. John surgery list! Period! Again, I will not be going to any games, now or in foreseeable future!
  15. All hyperbole, nothing less, very vanilla, uninspiring, etc. Any reason for a large season ticket renewal, let alone new ones? Not! I see attendance around 1.3 million, which is down significantly; revenues will fall hand-in-hand as a result, hence a perpetual malaise and downward spiral! Sorry! You get mediocrity if you push mediocrity!
  16. Derek seems like a nice guy, heck, there are a lot of "nice guys" on the Twins, but will they win you games. Falvey and Twins ownership playing this "small/mid market" spending makes me say "no thanks" to going to any games, especially with all the costs of going involved! Yes, atmosphere is great, but Minnesota has a lot of other things you can do in summer, which cost much less and/or are FREE! No thanks!!!!!
  17. Ober's arm is shot...topping out at 89 mph at end of season...which is open season for hitters. O.K., so he had hip/back problems, then why are you sending him out there when he is not fully healed, let alone gonna get shelled and give team no chance to win?!!!????!!???!?????!!! Duh!
  18. No! Correa may have had star power, but Greg Gagne has got the hardware (World Series rings), let alone decent offensive and defensive stats.
  19. Outside Luke and Buck, no one excited me. Martin has potential to be ultra utility man...not bad! Relief staff is not good, none would be missed if left unprotected and/or traded. Outside top two Twins starters, everyone else can be had, including Ober...his arm is shot ..topped out at 89 mph with fastball last handful of starts, which gets destroyed in MLB.
  20. Would you want the "C" for captaining a sinking ship?!
  21. Stupid and asinine article! Writer should be let go! And if article is, or was, true team must be sold now or nobody should go to any games! Idiotic! Racism this!!!
  22. I think his arm is shot...he was a averaging like 89 mph on his fast at end of season, that doesn't project well for next year.
