    As I mentioned, and am guessing the OP might have heard, Plouffe with Mackey and Judd did a great job of running down a coherent strategy that would at least show some respect to the fans, just put up Tuesday on the podcast.

    Then he'll start communicating clearly about the plan forward. He did remind me he did some press at the deadline. I only remember a joke of a conversation with WCCO on what Judd appropriately calls State Run Media. Complete BS through and through. I couldn't believe the lack of interest in a real conversation from people that showed up to a game 3 hours early and spend anywhere from $2,000-$15,000/yr at the ballpark, especially in light of recent events.. He also pointed out when weakly asked about player development (leveling off consistently) that EVERY PLAYER HAS A DEVELOPMENT PLAN. He completely avoided the reality that they have shown a pattern of those PDPs dropping off on their top prospects. I wish I'd grabbed his name, as they seem to be auditioning a new St. Peter type mouthpiece to Emcee events like this, and he also walked away from me when I told him what a failure they are at the simple basics of communication to fans and at least attempting to fix the mess they've created with the fans.

    I don't get this line of thinking. Playoff teams add or develop starting pitching and hitters before and during the season, and then add to their bullpen at the deadline. This recent trend of developing a bullpen with no starting or hitting to put them in a position to succeed is exactly what has put this team in the position it's in.

    I gather this is a re-tread from the Mackey and Judd podcast yesterday. For what it's worth, I was at a small STH event recently with Derek Falvey, and about 20 STH. After 20 minutes of kissing his ass and garbage about the trade deadline and whether they use the phone or e-mail (who care), and how excited we are all to reload, and how the guys they traded were and still are underperforming, I finally unloaded on him. I told him directly there is zero clue they give a sh!t about how apathetic the fan base is, and they make it worse for every day they keep doing the same thing. I explained top 3 of my Twins memories since 1991 are game 163, the playoff win, and the day the Pohlads announced they were selling. After "thanking me for my passion" (give me a break), he explained he is "waiting for the ownership situation to finalize" and THEN he'll start! I believe I surprised him by having the balls to respond to him we are collectively smarter than his BS as a fan base, and deserve better. I then told him one-one (after he again told me "I appreciate your passion"--f you for trying that twice) that if he wants to fix this, he needs to get on the phone tomorrow and start talking to local journalists with the fans' ears. I was responded to by him walking away, which says everything. FTP

    Thanks. I have zero recollection of any of this, so this is helpful.

    How has field of dreams game worked in the past? Would they travel Friday night to play at home Saturday night?
  7. jctwins
    TLDR but selling hope appears to be alive and well.
  8. jctwins
    Yes!,, this is what dreams are made of!

    It's great to see this rivalry back with two evenly matched teams battling it out late in the season.
  10. jctwins
    This org would be well served to just tell us what they're doing. "We're going to tinker with 2026 lineups on even days, and scramble in guys with potential on odd days. What a simple way to earn an inch with the fan base that the ineptitude continues to block.
  11. jctwins
    Put Clemens at first base here and it's a decent look at what could be the infield next year. I'd like to see that play out.
  12. jctwins
    Winner of this thread.
  13. jctwins
    What do you bet Lewis has told him "don't let them **** with anything you're doing"
  14. jctwins
    This harkens back to the glory days of yesteryear when the pre waivers deadline had this club adding scrap heap relievers!
  15. jctwins
    Learn to love the losing.

    I'd like to think if I were on the verge of buying a team, enough that the sellers are talking to me, I'd probably have spoken with a few GM candidates to get their take on what I should buy. The pre-deadline "on the cusp" roster, or a "clear the decks" roster. It's feasible to think a GM candidate said he or she would rather build their own core than try to work with someone else's regardless, and a buyer went with that. Or the above is all wishful thinking and Falvey doesn't know what the hell he's doing, which is equally plausible.

    I bumped an old thread to have this conversation out. I sort of agree.
  18. jctwins
    I had this thought exactly. haha.
  19. jctwins
    They're just talking practically. This team is tearing it down. Finally.
  20. jctwins
    The ballpark is going to be a ghost town for the rest of the season. As brutal as that is, it's better than false hope.
  21. jctwins
    Bumping a thread here that hopefully stays focused on ownership's sale efforts. Does a full out trade deadline sale improve the marketability of the team or hurt it? Payroll is a liability, but players are assets. Obviously better for discussion after we see the final results of deadline day in a couple hours.
  22. jctwins
    Spot on commentary here. The idea they run this like a business implies that they are doing so well. They definitely aren't.
  23. jctwins
    Correa not starting two days in a row?
  24. jctwins
    Good question. The hitting regime changed this year, so it's hard to speak to, but it would be similar to poll how many hitters have improved when they went to other orgs.

    How many Zebby and Festa types is Ryan worth? Serious question, not sarcasm.
