They did it just to tick you off

So when it looked like Justin Ishbia was the interested party in BUYING the Twins, most of the posts said how quickly things would move if the sale went through. 🤔 Now the Twins have some limited partners and its dragging on and on. Sounds like Pohlads doing Pohlad deals. Their limited partners must be NUTS. The Pohlads will use that money to pay down the debt the Twins have. How much say will they have in the operation of the Twins? Sounds like a Bernie Madoff type deal.

The answer to why they kept Falvey is simple. Him and Joe are tied at the hip. He's the current St. Peter.

Nothing again Lee. But Lindor is a real SS. Thats a ridiculous comparison. Lee can hit. He falls behind a lot and winds up with weak contact. Just putting the ball in play is better than striking out. So in that sense you might say Lee was unlucky. I dont. Its obviously something he needs to work on. The one thing I keep hearing about Lee is how baseball smart he is because his dad's a manager. Lee makes more boneheaded mistakes than any Twin not named Martin. In addition to that. Hes slower than every Twin except Vasquez.

Just for the hell of it, I went back and looked at Derek Sheltons press conference when he was hired by the Pirates. Although not identical, they were very similar. Preaching fundamentals, no talk of a rebuild, exciting young players coming from the farm system. Oh and the focal point was to have fun.

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss. We wont get fooled again. Maybe

Could the Twins bring back Chritian Vasquez? Yes. The question should be, will they or should they. All depends on the dollars and the direction they're taking.

Is that what I said? Rube. Your post was in regards to how many of the top spenders made the post season. 5 of 8 made it. Thats over 60%. So then I see how you said 3 out of the 9 lowest made it as well. So since YOU made it the top 8. Its only 7 out of the 22 other teams that got in. There are always going to be younger teams. Like the Tigers or Guardians or Twins or Royals or the Orioles who make it. Teams with a Skubal or a Witt or a Gunderson/Holiday/Rutschman.who wont be there much longer and who have a short window. Because they wont pay the big bucks.The big spenders will be there most of the time on a regular basis. How many consecutive years have the Yankees and Dodgers been in the postseason? 2 teams occupying 16% of the spots nearly every year. I'm not spending anyone's money but if i could I would want have those teams budgets. Mr know it all. There's always going to be just 1 winner. And this year its the biggest spender of them all.

Those walks didn't cost them, this time.

Always the negative waves Moriarty.

WAY TO GO BO!

Thats like the 5th time this series. Its crazy

But 5 did. And 1 will. Rube

While this has been one of the more exciting WS in a while there has been a lot of BAD baseball. Dodgers have been kicking the ball all over giving the Blue Jays extra outs. With RISP they've looked as bad as the Twins. While the Blue Jays have ran into multiple outs on the bases and literally go station to station on every hit. So they're ultra conservative and reckless at the same time.

Well you noticed the thumbs down but overlooked the rebuttal. If you would have read it you could answer your own question. Just my opinion but I read your rock solid opinions every day.
