    I know this is meant as satire, but it feels like we're making fun of other fans for having opinions. Satire should pick worthy targets.

    The Twins' problems in their market go a lot deeper than what may happen in the standings during a particular half-season. Playing winning baseball is a zero-sum game for the sport overall anyway - only a few teams each year would be financially viable if that were really the key to success. Fixing the telecast situation would be first and foremost on the list of remedies. TV should be the centerpiece of how they market their team, and the revenue it brings in is nice but is nearly incidental to the bigger picture if it gets in the way of marketing. The Pohlads are coming dangerously close to running their franchise into the ditch. Can't draw 2 million? Warning lights are flashing. An August and September of winning baseball certainly would be welcome, though. The window of contention is Right Now. That's a bit independent of the long-term franchise health.

    There's a clue embedded in the post you responded to. 😀

    Bases loaded, nobody out. Right where we want them.

    Aside from the catcher's interference, there haven't been any. I double checked the box score.
  6. ashbury
    Quite well.
  7. ashbury
    No you don't. I feel quite certain that you don't.

    I was actually saying that. As Chief likes to say, there aren't any low leverage relievers. Most you can do is pick your spots for the less-reliable guys. That's what they did there, and you called it.
  9. ashbury
    Good call.

    Do you have data it doesn't? Meanwhile I'll go with the pros on a question like this. Not my job to provide anyone data.

    It is absolutely necessary in today's game and can be a difference maker. Or is your position that players and coaches who make it to the major league level are morons? Jeffers did get burned, however.

    And a teammate cancels out the cancellation. Baseball.

    Willi!

    Don't worry, it'll switch back when their guys are up.

    Overdue is another viable theory.
  16. ashbury
    St Paul is a quieter, more relaxing city.
  17. ashbury
    Means he's due.
  18. ashbury
    More like what you probably meant.
  19. ashbury
    That implies constant improvement, doesn't it? Eventually leading to some runs?
  20. ashbury
    That's not as generous of him as it sounds. He's not using it at the moment anyway.
  21. ashbury
    I did get prepositioned there one time.

    I'm not an Oakland taxpayer but I get to their games yearly when I can, and my experience at the stadium has always been the opposite of the adjectives you used.
  23. ashbury
    Quick follow-up, Joe finished tied for 16th. A-Rod finished with the second worst score of the 90 entrants, although one participant had to withdraw due to work commitments and technically finished last.
  24. ashbury
    While it lasted. / edit - should have kept reading before posting.
  25. ashbury
    Bump.
