    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.😉
  2. Dawgzilla
    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!!!!!!!
  3. Dawgzilla
    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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    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!!!!!!!!!

    Trade!!!!!! Trade!!!!!!
  6. Dawgzilla
    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!
  7. Dawgzilla
    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!
  8. Dawgzilla
    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!
  9. Dawgzilla
    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!

    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!!!!!

    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!
  12. Dawgzilla
    No! Correa may have had star power, but Greg Gagne has got the hardware (World Series rings), let alone decent offensive and defensive stats.
  13. Dawgzilla
    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.
  14. Dawgzilla
    Would you want the "C" for captaining a sinking ship?!
  15. Dawgzilla
    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!!!
  16. Dawgzilla
    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.
  17. Dawgzilla
    Twins will promote Toby Gardenhire...duh!
  18. Dawgzilla
    Twins have already attained that status late in the year with dwindling and lethargic attendance. It will be hard to reignite any enthusiasm going into next season. As in the movie Taken, with Liam Neesome quote .."good luck"!!!!!
  19. Dawgzilla
    Team scouting has been a problem, with few big hits. Then, if you do have a scouting hit, it takes until they are 25 years old+ to get to the majors, almost enough to qualify for social security😉! Touche'! MLB has to have a salary cap floor and ceiling, or penalize the big spending teams more for going over the cap. Lastly, if you never want your team to be at least competitive, every year, sell!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, one final point: people have better things to do with their hard earned money, especially when professional sports are already waaayyy expensive to attend (food, tickets, parking, merchandise, etc.), this also goes for expensive local or out of town tv rights, which most can't afford subscriptions to now!!!?
  20. Dawgzilla
    Who cares!!! If the ownership/front office doesn't care, we the fans have better things to do with our money, especially in a high inflation cost society. Players, owners, retailers/concessions in sports cost/make to much anyway. Waaaayyy to expensive. Then you have the payroll disparity between the clubs and larger market cities!!!!!!!!!! Gosh, which teams have best chance to make playoffs....every year, with an exception here and there?!!!! Lastly, there looks like a player lockout next year, meaning more disgruntled fans!!!! MLB is destroying itself from the inside out! Oh, one final thing: you need multiple tv/cable/streaming pkgs just to watch a garbage team. Laaaattteeerrr!!!
  21. Dawgzilla
    No one cares really, that is how bad team is, their projections and affection for ownership! Twins can't even run bases right...Martin and Wallner both thrown out, Martin in a stupid non tag...or make sure ball hits ground first, not his only recent base running adventure. Is this Knothole...and do they actually need to learn to bunt, steal, tag, throw to the cut off man, etc ., lat alone not grove pitches to hitters. Good Lord! No one will get the ESPN+ streaming option next year to watch this dog and pony show! Lastly, Mickey Mouse, aka, Mickey Gasper should even warm the bench; he can't hit his way out of a paper bag.
  22. Dawgzilla
    You have to pay me to go to a Twins game right now, including money to get to cities, my overnight hotel cost, parking and all the beer 🍻 I can drink. If I was a Twins season ticket holder, I would want, er demand, at least a partial refund. Twins today are presently getting destroyed 6-buff, and it is only the second inning! Watching a good game on MLB right now. When is that start of the T-Pups season, let alone Wild's?!!!!
  23. Dawgzilla
    If the pitchers they got in trades were that good, wouldn't they already be on the big club?! Duh! Projections also sometimes don't meet the facts or results. Almost always, you will know when you have someone legit, not always, but mostly! Twins wait forever to bring up their prospect "studs" too (using that term loosely). Lastly, if you don't want to make a commitment to winning for longstanding, Twins fans, then sell the team! So, your family only make a 700+ million profit (after debt and original purchase price)....sell. Oh, lastly, lastly.......MLB needs a salary cap ceiling and floor regardless if Bryce Harper's bemoaning and crying....over his MILLIONS...playing a kid's game!!!!!!!!!
  24. Dawgzilla
    You thought attendance was bad...just wait. Remember the A's last year in the Colesium? That is this team and next year's. Season ticket holders should ask for their money back, let alone not renew. The MLB commissioner should have halted the assault on the Twins roster yesterday. Now, especially now, there are the big money teams. ...and the the rest, meaning no chance. Good luck with that! By the way Harper can f off. MLB needs a cap floor and ceiling. Period!
  25. Dawgzilla
    A couple of things: You don't give up young stud players you still have under cost control for a number of years. Try being aggressive more on bases (Twins are always base to base...steal for crying out loud...make other team make mistakes). Bring studs up earlier rather when they reach social security age (either they are players by 24 or they are not). Sell team soon. Fire g.m. Next year, don't sign pitchers coming if T.J. surgery or bottom feeder position players late in off season (outside Bader this year). Reduce ticket/concession prices to lure families back...creating a bigger and newer fan base. Make t.v. more available to more, at a reasonable price. You are welcome!!!
