    I repeat: the asset that the patriarch tried to cash in 23 years ago is now the crown jewel of the Pohlad Companies' solvency. That asset will maintain its monetary value no matter how much of its interior is gutted. So why bother with scenarios?
  2. BH67
    Irony (n.) -- 1. The Pohlad Companies holding hostage for solvency purposes an asset that the company patriarch was happy to dispense with in 2002 at one-tenth its current market value.

    Maybe Derek can't get a job anywhere else in MLB. Self-preservation may explain it all.
  4. BH67
    Short term results matter more than ever? Not if a further salary dump is coming. The Pohlads are today's version of Harry Frazee. Their overall corporate business model is in deep trouble, so they've attached their debts to their one fixed asset that appreciates in value regardless of how many tickets are sold. Until the Pohlads' ransom is paid, the only momentum for the Twins is downward. Firing Rocco was necessary, but it is largely cosmetic.

    Somebody please pay the Pohlads' ransom. Then I'll care.
  6. BH67
    Pohlads not selling? Then Cody is absolutely right. And in the words of Gordon Lightfoot, fellas, it's been good to know you. Bye.

    The missed opportunities have been frequent the past two seasons no matter who is wearing a Twins uniform. That strikes me as the root of the team's problems as much as anything else. So I find it pointless to allocate blame for this among the Pohlads, Derek Falvey and Rocco Baldelli. This rudderless refrain will continue until ALL of them depart the stage. Nothing will change until the club is sold.

    Maybe the (/s) was necessary.

    This feels like the closing day of the Supreme Court term when all the big case decisions come at once...except that we don't know all the cases.
  10. BH67
    Falvey is gone anyway. Maybe he's doing this out of spite?
  11. BH67
    Three Mile Island, the sequel.
  12. BH67
    Not by the Pohlads, certainly. But if LaVelle Neal's info is accurate, that era will soon end, followed hopefully by the departures of Falvey and Baldelli. Until the ownership and team leadership changes, nothing here merits optimism. First things first. Wishing CC4 the best in his homecoming.

    Tariff levies. Twins personnel strategy. The Magic 8 Ball reliably predicts both.
  14. BH67
    Skubal en fuego.
  15. BH67
    Until the Pohlad family sells the club, lather, rinse and repeat. A fixed payroll constraint explains this better than any alternative.
  16. BH67
    It's a befitting score in a game where the Twins were nickel-and-dimed to defeat -- albeit with a few long balls.
  17. BH67
    So the Twins are the Manchurian Candidate of baseball -- prone to brilliance until "Angela Lansbury" chooses them to crash and burn. I hope we find her whereabouts soon. (And I suppose that Twins Daily commenters therefore are portrayed by Frank Sinatra. I'm fine with that.)

    Schizophrenia, thy name is Twins baseball.
  19. BH67
    Rudder's falling off, if it was there to begin with (which I doubt).
  20. BH67
    $425 million in debt? How? Just how? That requires a heaping dose of irresponsibility.
  21. BH67
    That's it in a nutshell for me, too. I have been an eternal optimist for these Twins for several years, but after last September I could not bring myself back there under the current ownership, GM and manager. I hope this is sustainable, but I feel like I've just landed on "heads" on 13 consecutive coin tosses. When this team is on a roll, they'll stay there for a while if the last two years are an accurate indication. If they get in a rut, it snowballs. It's hard for me to get excited about something that appears so random, but I'll accept that my judgment may prove inaccurate. In any event, the Twins look fantastic and the pitching is everything Derek Falvey hoped it would be.
  22. BH67
    The only pivot man in MLB history to turn two triple plays in a game. That and much more made me a fan of his.
  23. BH67
    Rudderless.
  24. BH67
    This may not be a mirage. But the streakiness is vexing.
  25. BH67
    Rocco Baldelli looks brilliant during a hot streak but rudderless when things go bad. Derek Falvey insisted that Rocco must be his guy in the dugout. I look at that as a package deal. The Process is not working at either end.
