    Timing is everything.

    You say that but yet you insist on watching the Twins in airports.

    Right now... All I can do is wait for this thing to get settled so I can watch the Twins again. I have no idea how long I'll have to wait but I have no choice. I'm not going to jump into any temporary fix. I'll wait for the new thing. I'm 58 and I know that change is necessary. I'm prepared for change but like everybody else in the 55 plus demographic... I don't really like change. I just want to be left alone to do what I did yesterday and wash my metformin down with a bottle of mountain dew like all of us.

    The youngsters will change the world. I cheated and looked at the cable numbers and the younger demos are all but gone. However... I really didn't have to look at the numbers. When I watch cable TV... I understand the numbers by the ads that I'm watching. Medication is paying the cable bill right now. I can sing the Ozempic jingle from hearing it so often and I knew the melody since Pilot released the song in 1975 and 1975 fits that cable demographic. I look at my sons and I tell them... It's all up to you now. It sucks getting old. 😁

    Kids today don't have attention span for imagination.

    Yep... In-House... Control their product. The have tried and failed in the past. But... of course... that failed attempt was made trying to work into the existing model that is so problematic today. 24 hour programming, negotiations with cable tv providers etc.

    In the meantime... They got that complaint box by the bathrooms at 1 Twins Way. I'm going to complain about that then.
  11. Riverbrian
    That is something I wasn't aware of. Thank You. I do know this... Since I can't watch baseball... I'll be watching Netflix instead. 😉

    Yep All you have to do is look at the demographics and the numbers produce no other conclusion. Look at cable demographics and compare them to baseball demographics. They mirror each other. I've been sounding this alarm on Twinsdaily for quite some time now. But... It doesn't get very far because Twinsdaily demographics probably mirror baseball demographics. So... I'm basically talking with satisfied customers and there just isn't enough of us and we will be gone down the road. Baseball has to be aware of the numbers and talking about changes to the game to be more palatable to the demo's they are not reaching. Pace of play for example all the while... access to the product is the most important issue to solve and they can't seem to do that... because right now... it pays less.

    Lots of stuff over 162 games is about to happen. I just like watching that pace. 6 out of 10 games.

    In earlier post... you said it was going to get worse before it gets better. Yep... 1,000% They have kept themselves tied to a sinking ship. Once you climb out of that sinking ship they are in the water. But... they should know by now... that they have to get off that ship. Get on that deserted Island and start making it habitable. They won't be able to wash clothes until the professor builds that thing and Gilligan starts peddling.

    Lots of Monetization Complication. Which would be a great song title for those new artists the kids enjoy these days who are trying to figure out how to make a buck in the music business.

    A winning record April! Don't care how we got here. We are here. If you want a 100 win season... you have to win approximately 6 games every 10. Over 30 games.. 18-12 would be a 100 win season pace. We are currently 16-13 over 29. a 9 game winning streak can do wonders.

    Most likely St. Peter as Team President but who knows. It could have been the Director of Short Term Media Deals" who has an office right next to the Community Engagement Coordinator. I always go straight to the people who hire the people. To my knowledge... Joe Pohlad currently sits at the top as the executive chair. So... I'm looking straight at Joe until I hear otherwise.

    Reported estimates. Accuracy? No Idea. Anything reported these days has a strong risk of inaccuracy.
  20. Riverbrian
    I just wonder how much of drop in the bucket this short term money amounts to.

    You have almost perfectly describe the boat I am in. So I think we are in the same one.

    Midco is showing the same message so it isn't just a negotiation with Comcast. The Twins can issue statements saying they are not involved and that there is nothing they can do until they are blue in the face. They chose short term money over accessibility even when accessibility leads to long term money. A baseball franchise worth 1.39 billion is issuing statements "that there is nothing they can do" because of a 47 million dollar deal made with a company in bankruptcy proceedings and a product delivery system with aging out demographics. The Twins put themselves in this position. They should be issuing statements saying either... "Oops... we really ****ed up" or "We have Lawyers pouring over the contract and we will be taking a flamethrower to the problem very very soon".

    Dear Joe Pohlad, You are failing. You have allowed your billion dollar organization to be taken hostage by outsiders for a rather low dollar figure. You better Liam Neeson your way into the room and quickly. Sincerely, Riverbrian

    9 game winning streak. No team in 2024 has had a longer streak.
