    I think I agree with the premise....the Twins are too "same-y" in their lineup. They don't press other teams on the bases or ruffle their concentration. There were times when we played Cleveland this year that the speed they put on the basepaths made everything seem infinitely more likely to work out for them. Meanwhile, we either tattoo the ball where they ain't or we have nothing to show for it. I don't want us to remove the element of power from our lineup. Homeruns are just statistically a better bet. However, there's no reason we can't have more multi-dimensional athletes in our lineup that can stress the other team in ways we currently do not. We need to prioritize LF as a spot where we get someone who can score a grimey run or two.

    That Davante Adams contract is pretty ugly unless they cut him this year. In which case they gave up a 3rd round pick on a lost cause.

    Geno-sha and Genosha....so perfect. The sign in the background that they're waiting for Trevor Lawrence cracked me up too. Flacc-Neto.
  4. TheLeviathan
    I agree, when they have the budget room to do so, they are willing to. I just can't imagine they'll have that luxury.
  5. TheLeviathan
    Nope. They have good corners, but their front is not great.

    The Lions have lost Hutchinson and Davenport. It didn't show up against Dallas (who can't run and no one respects it. D lines just go straight for the QB), but having no pass rush could be a real problem for them going forward.

    I'm not sure they can afford him. I am sure they shouldn't sign him even if they can.

    My observations: 1. NFC North is the best division in football. It isn't close. 2. The Saints are the worst team to ever be 3-0. 3. Teams who can't run or pass are basically screwed. It used to be that if you were good enough at one you could power through, but if you can't have balance this year - you're going to get smoked. (See: Dallas, Denver, Vegas, Carolina, Cleveland, Tennessee)

    But how can he blame Rick Spielman for this?

    If you fit that Venn Diagram....enjoy this masterpiece. https://youtu.be/E8Ha5WM93tU?si=qOj4JA5Kt_bFNaSI

    Make more weekends about kids at the ballpark and go all out to serve those families. Running around the bases on Sunday is great...but the process is horrible. It takes forever to stand in line for a 10 second experience. The ballpark experience for kids should be loose and fun! Tiktok dances, funny memes between at-bats, etc. Have fun! Get your fans in seats - lower your beer prices. More theme days. More group packages. Make Target Field a destination again. A fun place people want to spend their summers.

    Hard pass my good man. Dog owners are already far too comfortable thinking everyone else wants their pet around. I enjoy my ballparks, grocery stores, planes, restaurants, department stores, etc to be pet-free.

    The taxpayers paid for the stadium. This article was far too long for the headline.

    Joe Pohlad needs to spurn her romantically. Obviously.

    I can already see the Buy It Now jerseys and the Twins taking the field dressed like Hobbits to promote Rings of Power Season 3!

    Bezos. Let's get MLB on Prime.

    This. Sure...44m in Tesla would have made a lot of money. It also had major risks. There is no risk with a pro sports franchise. It's a fun way to guarantee value.
  19. TheLeviathan
    Ownership changes have tended to be different lately. People with enough money buy it as a guaranteed value asset that allows them to play and have fun.
  20. TheLeviathan
    I understand the caution. However, the Pohlads have set an exceptionally low bar. It would take a Herculian effort to be worse than them. Could it happen? Sure. But what's the difference? We go from sucky to suckier? Meh. This could finally be non-sucky. For the first time in the lives of any Twins fan. Be optimistic, when else will you have that chance?

    Has there ever been a more unlikable athlete in sports that didn't commit a crime? I'm struggling to think of one.
  23. TheLeviathan
    Good find, thank you! That does help the argument some, but I would still argue we're talking about one of baseball's most rabid fan bases. This move (which I've said is the right one) might build subscribers over time but I think it's going to be really ugly early on. I hope I'm wrong.

    Padres only had Padres.TV and national games. They did what the Twins are doing now. They, by the way, are the biggest success. We don't know the Arizona or Colorado subscriber counts but it was likely far less than 40k because no one has dared report what the actual number is. Also, the Rockies could make similar geographic arguments and household reach. Probably moreso than the Twins given the larger populations they expand out to in their region. It's quite possible the Rockies didn't even clear 10k. Availability is great, but casual fans aren't going to pony up $20 a month when there are alternatives that cost zero. Not to the tune of 60k at least. You'll get your diehards and that will probaby be it.

    Spotrac didnt cook the numbers. They used 1-30. The simple truth is that the disparity in local media revenue is a major core of payroll disparities in baseball. It's is guaranteed money with massive differentials. It gets paid regardless of attendance or fan interest. As I said...yes, the Pohalds are to blame for a lack of fan enthusiasm and gate/concession revenues. They've been choking the life out of the fandom for years but really put the finishing touches on last fall. That can all be true AND the local media revenue issues can be a major problem long-term for the league.
