    The Padres drew 40K. The Twins would be thrilled to even marginally beat that. They aren't pulling 200k.
  2. TheLeviathan
    It's the only move they had, give them credit for not dragging their feet. I would like to see them find a local channel as well. This also cements their media revenue as "paltry" going forward, just so there are no illusions about the ramifications of this correct decision.
  3. TheLeviathan
    The Penguin is quite good.
  4. TheLeviathan
    There do not appear to be a lot of good teams this year. Everyone is deeply flawed in some way.
  5. TheLeviathan
    Blaming the league definitely explains a decade worth of bad decision making by the team. Definitely. Or....and I know you won't accept this because you literally can't from all evidence you've provided this forum in all the years....perhaps it was just straight up greed. They've continued to take short term payouts no matter the consequences. My term fits perfectly: Stupid is taking short-term profit at the expense of the long-term health of your industry. It's been the MLB way for decades now.

    I'm not disagreeing with that. Or championing a rebuild even. I'm just pointing out how difficult this situation likely is. At the end of the day their depth and injury issues (which don't appear to be changing) got them from one of hte best teams in baseball to basically a .500 team in a month. If you don't have money to address those issues, then wouldn't the prudent thing to do be a rebuild? I guess I'm secretly hoping we'll have more flexibility than we think. Otherwise my pessimism is going to be hard to shake.

    To add to your argument, Last I checked payroll allocations can also come by trade. Who knows what could've been on the table had they been able to acquire more salary also. This FO has clearly shown a willingness to trade aggressively when allowed. One competent starting pitcher and one competent bullpen option and this team is looking at a run like the Mets. Or the D-backs. All you have to do is get in and weird stuff can happen. (You know...other than those two decades we lost every time!)

    I honestly have no idea how this team gets better next year and they weren't good this year. Usually...that's exactly when you should be talking "rebuild".

    This work has been done many times for you to the best of the ability we all have as non-owners. The truth is, when people do provide you what available evidence there is and it contradicts your narrative you choose to walk away from the conversation and then relight it again in a few days or weeks. This is your dead horse and always has been. You don't want objective measures of ownership and spending malfeasance. You wouldn't accept them if they were provided. Part of what makes that easy for you is the extent to which major league owners hide their revenues and profits from the public. They do it to get weasely stadium deals. To screw over the players in negotiations. To protect themselves from such horrid ideas as.....*checks notes* not starving their minor leaguers and paying them poverty wages. You know full well that a full accounting isn't possible and hiding behind that is tiresome. If owners were losing their hat as much as you imply, sports leagues would have a much more difficult time expanding and finding new owners. But, strangly.....they don't. I wonder why. Must be a sweet gig to build your business off taxpayers and then hide your revenues from those very same taxpayers while you cry poverty and get 20-40% of the fanbase/media to cover for you.

    Darnold was like Bizarro-Kirk. There were open checkdowns and out routes all game and he kept hucking it deep. He was bad.
  11. TheLeviathan
    That JJ drop was a killer.
  12. TheLeviathan
    Another open guy he misses. Time for drags and screens.
  13. TheLeviathan
    They can't run because the Jets are loading up. He should run more, but short throws arent terrible calls. His QB has to execute.
  14. TheLeviathan
    I don't get the play call issues...did you not see Addison wide open? This is bad quarterbacking, not play calling.
  15. TheLeviathan
    Darnold is not on point today.
  16. TheLeviathan
    Already in FG range. Put this away.
  17. TheLeviathan
    They need to keep running.
  18. TheLeviathan
    Over the bye let's just get "fair catch a punt every time" down. No rush. No return. Just no screw ups.
  19. TheLeviathan
    Well...kicker is good!
  20. TheLeviathan
    Jones being out could be a big factor in the second half.
  21. TheLeviathan
    Give them nothing to build on before the half.
  22. TheLeviathan
    Or zero!
  23. TheLeviathan
    I think that was a bad read by Darnold. He turned down underneath receivers on back to back plays.
  24. TheLeviathan
    I must've missed the part I was supposed to learn in demeaning this article as "Marxist". We disagree that there is any "requirement" for public subsidy. The Twins are under no strict obligation to consider the community, but they do so at their own peril. As evidenced by the crowds at Target Field this year.
  25. TheLeviathan
    I am shocked at how many people in this thread want to carry water for billionaires who took public money and actively avoid investing in the product unless it suits them. This article captures the root of the problem with both the Pohalds and funding for public education. Didn't think I'd type that today....
