    A. League average ERA is a 4’5 starter or worse by the people here. A pitcher that pitched 100 innings or more is someone that teams on average only have 3 of, yet the people here see no value in that. Pitching that is reliable is a hard commodity to come by in baseball

    Somebody claimed that promotions will significantly increase attendance. Note that there is still no bat night.

    The trade is risk reward. For the Twins it was could they fix a talented player. So far, no reward. Would they lose Outman on a DFA claim? Not likely unless a team is ravaged by injuries. For the Dodgers it was the bet on health. The Twins did not want to afford a player that they have to pay to be continually on the injured list. The Dodgers doon’t mind. If Stewart is healthy for a month, they win.

    The Twins have used pitch counts for starters for the last few years. Lopes and Ryan were at 100, SWR, Festa and Mathews at 80. There is no reason you can’t have a couple of pitchers relieving on an every fourth day schedule The 1 in four chance of Lopez or Ryan pitching in the 7th falling on the fourth day of a long reliever would not happen that often

    Did you forget my first comment? Got to remember next time how short people’s memories are.

    Are there 5 players in the last 5 years with Castellanos’ track record that fit your statement of Twins’ way
  7. old nurse
    It is there to attract attention and get people talking about the Twins. Plausible reason, though remotely possible, there is a deal being discussed for Lewis

    Why would you want another bat first player who hasn’t hit in the last 4 years
  9. old nurse
    Yup, saw that. Twins gave them 500,000.

    There is a union and a contract coming up. The union has always sold the younger players out. If Joe should be critical of anything it should be the union

    According to Sportrac the Twins still had 1,067,100 left. I would guess the amount of pool money was around the usual 50k when players are traded for cash. The Dodgers don’’t need the cash, they need ways to spend it

    If the subscriber numbers were decent they wouldn’t have made a deal with ESPN. The numbers were so low it was reported that MLB gave the teams $10m that had streaming.

    That compounding of fans has not happed in the last 50 years
  14. old nurse
    The proof of a million empty seats is undebatable and is also called off topic when talking of fans coming back. You are done

    https://www.mlb.com/twins/team/front-office Does that look bloated to you? does 12 coaches for 26 players seem like a lot?

    What one player signable for thirteen million would have turned the 24 Twins into a hundred win team? The Twins had to have that kind of team to increase the attendance. The twins had a division leading team for almost all of the 23 season the Twins had 2 Cy Young caliber pitchers. They had only a slight increase in attendance. So division leading in and of itself was not bringing in fans.

    A million seats that were once full stayed empty. That is saying the fans did not come back The 2019 attendance was maybe 100000 more than 2014 and 2015 when they were bad .

    If you say they killed their revenue potential, you would have to show they would make more than they spent to do it. You haven’t done that. I am not defending anything other than reality.

    Baseball limits what the teams can borrow money for. You can thank Frank McCourt for that. You can say they lost money in the pandemic on the downtown buildings but please feel free to tell me which those buildings are

    When the person complained that the Twins got 350m for the stadium and thus owed the fans, my point was the Twins did pay it back. The poor math was the Twins accountants who didn’t say to quit spending once the debt reached 350m. Sorry everything has to spelled out for you
  21. old nurse
    In all of your posting you still have not shown that 350000 more fans would significantly change the payroll. You can post 100 different things, it still doesn’t change the fact the fans did not come back in significant numbers when they won.
  22. old nurse
    The Twins don’t win titles, fans don’t come out. Long history of that since the 70s. It is what it is. Owners don’t want to lose money. That is what it is. Fans don’t come out, owners don’t have money to spend. If the owners spend their own money, soon they will not have any money either. The citizens bonded 350m, the Pohlads lost 500m. I guess they are even

    There was an older study that after looking at over 2000 games, giveaways increased attendance by 1500 fans. Behind a paywall, a story said that returning the kid’s toys in happy meals increased sales by 3.8%. For McDonalds. I don’t know if was sustained, I wasn’t going to pay to find out. The Twins do have people working on game day experience and promotions Senior Director, Game Day Experience: Sam Henschen Director, Marketing Promotions & Special Events: Heather Rajeski I don’t know if a senior director has subordinates or just a fancy title

    They were running deficits, spending in total more than they were making. They chose to cut on the baseball side rather than the operations side.
  25. old nurse
    I did not say it was unique to the Twins. Are you reallly that desparate that you have to make up statements
