  1. RYAN IS at 45 pitches....relief could be around the corner soon...
  2. One item that people have not noted...Veterans such as Bader, Paddack. France did give some experience...even Correa a bit...
  3. Remember the old saying that you can't put lipstick on a pig...bring the Saints mascot pig over and try to put lipstick on him.. or her...Falvey can hold the 🐖 down and Rocco can apply the 💄
  4. Say it ain't so :)...Provus will then kiss his your knew what...hey..Twins pay him..
  5. Agree...that last time he was on base...he had a tummy ache...and left...I was in LA and the booing was beyond belief for the garbage can kid..
  6. Ryan can't wait until the season ends...TRADE ME
  7. He is going to speak during the 3rd inning..and Falvess will be a booth guest
  8. Martin and Kiersey :) right.....I think losing Bader and Castro are losses also...but they were expected via trades. The "coreless hitting" hasn't been there most of the season and the pitching is now much weaker. This whole thing reminds me of when that old fart Carl attempted to contract the team (the county and fans paid the brunt of the cost of the new stadium). It is more than just this week...it is comments made by JOE P, last fall, the streaming fiasco last season, Falvey, Rocco, etc...As mentioned on the Skor North broadcast today, there is little hope until they sell the team, wipe out the GM, manager., and invest. Until then, it will be AAA ball at best in my view. Twins fan for life here...but darn if I will buy a ticket until the sale takes place.
  9. So, you don't count the top 3 relievers as part of the "core" when the manager uses them excessively? I would also have considered Bader as a core piece in 2025. More importantly, Rocco struggled with the team dynamics previously and now...?. A good portion of this current team has little big league experience. I guess we will see...maybe the young guns will become the wild bunch out of the corral.
  10. No bearded wonder...The Dobber...Saint Paul just will not be the same 😭 Hey..Pohlads ..you made him a millionaire..thanks for the memories
  11. Simply an awesome podcast from Twins Skor North Show today. Phil, Judd, Declon THANK YOU!!
  12. Nobody seems to mention losing Dobnak. Did you forget about Randy?
  13. "The final budget for construction was $435 million, of which $175 million was paid by the Twins and $260 million was paid by Hennepin County by way of a 0.15% county-wide sales tax. An additional $120 million in infrastructure costs were split between the county ($90 million), the team ($20 million), Target Corporation ($4.5 million), the Minnesota Department of Transportation ($3.5 million) and the Minnesota Ballpark Authority ($2 million) bringing the project's total cost to US$555 million." This was a Twins Daily post from last fall. I will remind the fans that THEY paid for the majority of this ballpark.
  14. I never found him to be a star nor was he a leader in the clubhouse, I also felt that he put on a false facade many times, Nevertheless, it is not his problem if he is overpaid. The ultimate problem is the owners. If your read the sportswriters' columns today, they confirm that they wanted to cut payroll and ordered Falvey to do it. The problems are also connected to the GM, and the manager. The lack of leadership by Falvey and Rocco led to the team's demise. Rocco's glaring removals of Castro and Jax at the end of the game on Wednesday was ridiculous. Inserting Jax on that night and Duran on a prior evening in games that had already been decided was simply ridiculous. Never forget that Target Field was largely paid for by the taxpayers. To me, there was a trust that the owners would due diligence to market and support a strong team.
  15. Good posting..without Bader, there is no backup for Buxton and his injuries.
  16. This is a good posting. I will also continue to be a fan and am in my 60th year...BUT...I have no intention to return to watch a game in person or purchase Twins merchandise UNTIL there is a sale of the team as well as a shake-up with the manager and FO. It was more than being "mean spirited" as you put it to dump 5 relievers as well as $ being a core rationale. Yes, it is a business, Although, it is my belief that customer service by an owner means that you care about the fans which was not the case with the TV package in 2024, Joe Pohlad's comments at the end of last year and much more. Perhaps I am just old school. I hope that I see Falvey or one of the Pohlads on the street or at the mall. This old codger will give them an earful.
  17. Agree with you...I don't know of a "complete teardown" per your response to that other person that stated Twins fans wanted it. It was understood that individuals with contracts expiring would probably be departing. Emptying the bullpen of the top 5 relievers was way beyond belief, especially the way the manager constantly uses them. It specially made no sense as most of them were under control and what was returned in exchange is questionable. I fully can't comprehend the Varland issue.
  18. The tear down was the bullpen.. Big time. Consider how the manager uses this group ...
  19. The Twins responsible for about a third of Correa's salary...they cut loose approximately 70 Million
