    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.

    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.

    He did alright. I don't believe he hurts us and he helped us win a game or two. He will be back sometime and we will see how the 2nd visit goes. I agree... guys like Austin can be a nice problem to have. His future? No idea... I'll wait for the future before looking into his future.

    I'm aware of his current stats. I'm aware of Julien's current stats. I'm aware of Margot's current stats, I'm aware of Farmer's current stats. I'm aware of Santana's stats, I'm aware of Buxton's stats, I'm aware of Royce Lewis's stats, I'm aware of Ryan Jeffers stats, I'm aware of Alex Bregman's current stats. I'm aware of Mookie Bett's current stats. I understand sample size and I understand that some players are going to turn it around and some players may not over the course of 162 games, I also understand that you use words like legitimate on your posts and ignoring on mine. I wasn't exactly sure why I would need to work in everybody's current stats when I'm pointing out that Julien is platooning and that Castro and Santana are not.

    Add "Let me help you out" and "ignoring the fact" to the list.

    You are arguing definitions... Please Stop! Julien is a platoon player. I say that is not full time. You say that means I'm saying Part-Time. Please Stop! This is how you discuss things and I'm going to point it out every time that you do. The post below shows that you and I both recognize the amount of playing time we are talking about with a slight 5% difference. Please Stop! I think Julien is the better player. The guy can hit and I don't have any concerns about his defense. It is my opinion that Polanco is not easily replaced against LHP or RHP. I've said these things multiple times. Are the issues addressed now? They were addressed before in multiple posts but did I really have to post them an additional time for them to be addressed properly at your request? Now you've added "ridiculous" and "throwing a fit". Let's be clear... I have expressed my opinions. The fit is thrown directly at you!
  19. Riverbrian
    I'm not going to argue full time definitions. And I'm especially not going to debate it with you. This is my post. It is accurate. You have responded to this post with: "Misrepresentation". "Cherry Picked", "manipulated", "True but misleading", "Lacks Credibility", "biased". I repeat... my post is accurate. Willi Castro has started 13 straight games and 16 out of the last 17 games. I understand that injuries are the reason. He may not be the intended full time player yet he has started 13 straight games. In the meantime... take your misrepresentation, cherry picked, manipulated, true but misleading, lack credibility" biased and shove it.
  20. Riverbrian
    Now that they sent Martin down. Vazquez has to replace those wheels.

    I did glide past the "fast approaching" but I've kept a view all along the watchtower... two riders are approaching and that club option has begun to howl. Until the riders get here... Polanco could help this offense in 2024. As for the defensive concerns. OK... but it's not a defense only decision because the bat must be factored in. In those playoffs... even with a ball clanking off his chest. Polanco was chosen to play 3B over Farmer against righties and chosen to play 2B over Julien against lefties. His combination of offense and defense added up to more and it gave him a full time job at the top of the order against both hands. I think all 29 GM's notice all of that. The Giants are not a factor. That deal with the Giants was done and over with. For he Mariners to acquire Polanco they had to pay in 8 million in order to make the deal work. If the Mariners don't pay 8 million... they don't get Polanco. The Twins agree to pay the remaining 4 million of the Mariners obligation to Disco. The Mariners pay the entire 10.5 Polanco money due this year. Plus a 750K buyout if they choose not to pick up his option next year which I won't tack on. That's 10.5 to Polanco plus 8 million minus 4 million spent by Seattle to put Polanco in a Mariners uniform. Plus Topa... Plus a top 100 prospect. Plus another prospect. The Giants were in the rear view mirror. I don't see how it goes down to 6.5M. Help me out please.

    Don't bother... I could care less. I'm just pointing out that I got a thumbs down for posting who is catching tonight.
  24. Riverbrian
    The lineup has been posted. Vazquez is Catching and Jeffers is the DH and I report that and I got a thumbs down from RpR?
  25. Riverbrian
    Vazquez is wearing the tools of ignorance tonight. Jeffers is the DH.
