    They also lost the money from the RSNs

    The fans are what they are. That is not faulting the fans for anything. Attendance numbers follow winning. There is absolutely long history of that with the Twins since the 70s. The only 2 exceptions are the openings of a new stadium and when Paul Molitor joined the Twins. Frontrunning.

    Once again, Forbes figures it out for each club. For Minnnesota it is easy because they can look at sales tax receipts. $50 a fan. Now remember that revenue per fan is shared so the Twins see 52% of it, thus 9 million
  4. old nurse
    They know the fan base it both front running and cheap. That has been the same pattern since they bought the club.

    It would not have been enough money to have retained Sonny Grey. In 2024
  6. old nurse
    Woo hoo, at an average revenue of $50 per fan (per Forbes),and 48% going to MLB, the revenue from 350K is a drop in the bucket and still left a million empty seats

    2019 says you are wrong about fans coming back when they are up decisively
  8. old nurse
    😆😄🤣. 4 years of bad pitching. FIP may like him, but the scoreboard says otherwise

    Can’t figure out if you are trying to be funny or or oblivious to what passive aggressive means
  10. old nurse
    Your quote was clearly that he was passive after Levine left which was before last season. You said he was aggressive when Levine was here so therefore he would not have been passive until last year. If you want to say he was passive the two previous offseasons then you still are contradicting yourself. About the only time the Twins have been aggressive in the offseason selling had been with Smith as the GM. Those out sales led to a huge hole for Ryan to dig out of

    Read what I responded to then respond appropriately

    The team cycled up and down under Ryan. No different under Falvey, no different than the other non large market teams. Did he improve anything they were doing? Hard to say. He spent money on staff. Maybe improving the pitching, maybe just luck. The judge of how welll he has done will be if a large market teams hires him
  13. old nurse
    Blowing up the bullpen was passive?
  14. old nurse
    If Falvey was set up for failure in the manner suggested it would be also fair to say Falvey isn’t very bright and did not deserve the job in the first place.
  15. old nurse
    The manure is everywhere on this thread.
  16. old nurse
    It is a nefarious plot to get you to be a caretaker. Now you are going to get every shoe and hiking boot with a high stack height. Fear not, there are only 30-40 different variety of Hokas

    old nurse commented on Doc Munson's blog entry in Fantasy GM

    Jersey sales goes to the league after operating costs for the store fans did not come out to see any other star player other than Molitor when the Twins signed them or traded for them.
  18. old nurse
    Pitch counts. There was an upper limit for the younger pitchers of 80 or so, 100 for Lopez, Ober and Ryan.
  19. old nurse
    The numbers posted by both him and Mathews would suggest there is nothing to be gained by having them in St. Paul. To me Festa is at the back of the bullpen. Mathews stuff may play better with more velocity. We will just have to wait for the crack Twins Daily writing team to come up with their scientific analysis to debate it
  20. old nurse
    I didn’t say the numbers were Falvey’s fault, only that he made decisions off them. Those decisions were based of what the Pohlads told him he could do. They aren’t going to publicize if they make changes. To me, it is why St Peter was moved to an advisory role and Falvey promoted. We shall see what Tom Pohlad does .
  21. old nurse
    Yup, those are Festa’s career numbers. It is not unreasonable to think the quiet plan was to send him to the bullpen. It made sense when they picked up starters at the deadline. Mathew’s does not have those kinds of splits
  22. old nurse
    Ownership makes decisions on what to do with the information they have presented to them. Falvey had said budget was based on previous year’s income. When they upped the payroll it was a gamble the team would draw significantly more by winning. They lost the gamble, the budget cut is a repercussion of that. Losing the money from local television contract can be pared on Pohlad’s not understanding the market. Go Radio showed they didn’t understand the market. Clearly the people they hired to project money did not figure the chord cutting and changing markets for television. That is what Ryan described as a system failure. The repercussion was a sharply decreases budget. While streaming hasn’t been a total failure, there was something somewhere that said the money from streaming was a little less than half for mlb in total. If you consider that the Twins are on the low end of revenue per fan, it may be safe to say their revenue is probably significantly less than half of what they were getting from cable. Their cable deal was at the time one of the lowest ones.

    Only a fool would think the absence of fans did not play a part in their decisions.
  25. old nurse
    Good decisions by Falvey 1. Seems to recognize pitching talent
