    Your pattern suggests that for Popkins, Minnesota was a cage vs Toronto being a playground. In Toronto: More freedom, coachable players, and players who can execute his vision? Would love to hear Popkins speak on this, but that rarely happens.

    Totally agree here. It's nitpicking and minor, and I've mentioned i work in advertising....but...there’s actually a defined “DodgerBlue” color in HTML/CSS (#1E90FF), which shows how iconic that shade is.

    Hmmmm......Blue Jay's bats are shredding Yankees pitchers for the 2nd game in a row as I type. Hey Joe!!! Just an idea, I know it's over the top....but.... The Twins should hire away the Jay's hitting coach.

    I get that some folks think fan criticism is just whining, but let’s be real, this isn’t just venting for the sake of it. Fans buy the tickets, wear the gear, follow every move. When the front office doesn’t explain the plan or keeps repeating the same mistakes, what do you expect fans to do, just clap politely? If leadership won’t explain the plan, expect the fans on TD to reverse-engineer it.

    Seattle has never even been to the WS much less won...48 years! Imagine 14 more years and counting. Colorado and SD have never won, but at least made an appearance.

    Really hard to say what someone is thinking....but the votes speak for themselves...70-92

    Depends on where he goes and what he does under a different FO...it will be interesting to see what unfolds.

    Anyone know of a contest for the understatement of the year award? I was going to nominate this article Matthew has written.
  9. Sjoski
    Absolutely true. I use to watch 80% of Twins game...this year...probably saw 20%. Several times...just turned the game off

    🔥 Remember Dave Goltz… and the infamous grill incident! 🔥 Twins fans will never forget 1978—not just for Goltz’s stellar pitching, but for the day he literally burned the team’s chances… at least temporarily. While firing up the grill, Dave Goltz accidentally burned his pitching hand, forcing him to miss a few starts.

    But it comes down to the FO making great trades and savvy FA signings. Both 87 and 91 teams were retooled this way to add to a strong core. By "we" your referring to the Pohlads and Falvey. Good luck....you'll need it.

    Q: What does being the manager of the Minnesota Twins and the President of the United States have in common? A: The best candidates don’t even want the job.

    "I wish I could’ve snagged one of those first-class seats, ..... 😀 but it looks like the Lynx are on this flight, too.” ....... 😞

    Falvey’s moves have consistently weakened the team rather than strengthened it. The article is looking at the full body of his work. Far more misses than hits. The Dodgers aren’t just rich, they’re smart. Their baseball decisions consistently put them ahead, while the Twins often tinker without real results.

    Carl was the one who knew how to make money....his son's simply inherited it.

    The Twins ScapeGoat Ladder - 2023: Trainer gets tossed. Diagnosis: “The injuries are killing us!” Translation: Blame the body guy. - 2024: Hitting coach gets axed. Diagnosis: “We can’t score!” Translation: Blame the swing man. - 2025: Manager finally fired. Diagnosis: “We’re underperforming!” Translation: Blame the dugout man. - 2026: Falvey finally fired. Diagnosis: “The system’s broken.” Translation: Blame the architect man. - 2027: Owner finally sells. Diagnosis: “Turns out we were the problem.” Translation: Blame the Pohlad clan.

    Hmm...in today's world I would almost like to see TK managing remotely. TK in a rocking chair, iPad in hand, might actually bring more common sense to the dugout. At least you’d know he wouldn’t burn through six relievers before the 7th inning stretch. 😀

    Here's the BAD TRADE that was left off your list. Possibly the worst of them all. ●●● On July 27, 2018, the Minnesota Twins traded Ryan Pressly to the Houston Astros for two minor league prospects: Jorge Alcala and Gilberto Celestino.

    Julien is still young. The problem is pitchers figured him out with offspeed stuff, and he hasn’t adjusted. If he can get back to using his patience and on-base skills, he brings something Clemens doesn’t. However, he will have to prove himself by winning a job during spring training next season. It's highly probable he can't play himself back to the majors...another Miranda.

    My favorite two teams are the Twins and whose ever playing the Yankees. But...will go with the Blue Jay's with Varland on the mound winning it all in game 7.
  21. Sjoski
    Exactly....this is what the Pohlads know and why they will never sell until this loop hole is closed. ● Because losing teams still collect shared revenue and enjoy rising franchise values, there’s little financial pressure to compete. Owners of small-market or “rebuilding” teams can effectively guarantee themselves profits even while fielding a non-competitive roster.

    "Fan morale has never been lower"

    "The foundation remains strong"??? If you compare the 1986 team that turned it around to win a World Series with the 2025 team!?? From the : A) Players: Puckett, Gaetti, Hrbek, Gagne, Viola, Blyleven, etc, etc vs Buxton, Lewis, Lee, Pablo, Ryan, etc B) Front Office: Andy MacPhail vs Falvey C) Manager: TK vs Rocco I see little to no potential for a 1987 like turn around for the Minnesota Twins in 2026.
  24. Sjoski
    Who would have loved to hear how the decision to finally run more came about. Maybe it went down like this: ●●● Falvey: “So, Rocco, we traded most of the bullpen away, a couple of decent bats. Any ideas on how we score runs now?” Baldelli: “Well… what if… hear me out… we run?” Falvey: “Run? Like… run fast? Around the bases?” Baldelli: “Yeah, like stealing bases. It’s this ancient baseball trick. I read about it in an old manual from the 1980s.” Falvey: “That sounds… risky. What if someone pulls a hamstring?” Baldelli: “What if someone scores a run?” Falvey: “…You might be on to something. Let’s try it. Worst case, people will say we waited seven years to discover legs.”

    Totally agree with you..But if ABS is proven to be more consistent than humans, why not use ABS 100%? What gets me about any outcome in any sport is when poor umpires or referees decide the game, not the players. MLB will be a better game when ABS is used 100% for balls and strikes..
