  1. So true! You have to, like, try to do this stuff poorly... "We need Target Field to attract free agents" has turned into "we're getting outclassed by Detroit"
  2. This comment might be more even more humiliating than today's "game". Can't help but feel happy for the guys who are going to get a chance with serious, professional organizations.
  3. Of course they won't reinvest it. But there's a very strong argument to be made that Twins will be a better team without Correa, both on the field and in the clubhouse.
  4. I've been very critical of ownership and the FO, but to me, getting a bag of new baseballs, much less an actual prospect, for Paddack is miraculous and could be Falvey's savviest move.
  5. Baseball somehow survived something like 125 years without having to resort to openers...if your starters are constantly getting hurt than maybe that's the problem, and the solution isn't to pitch middle relievers (in other words your worst pitchers) instead, but rather to prioritize long term health of your starters (in other words your best pitchers) over a couple more ticks on the gun. Also, off topic, but: I would love for someone to tell me what number makes a meaningful sample size. I never ever hear it. Is it 50? 100? 1000? Whatever number suits the argument you are trying to make? What's the magic number?
  6. It's interesting that the piece fails to mention if, you know, bullpen games work. Results matter. What is the Twins' record in so-called bullpen games? Isn't this relevant to the discussion? Having pitchers like Adams and Sands able to step in and pitch two or three innings at a time gives the team options and keeps the rotation fresh for longer series. A few days ago they "stepped in" to allow the not-trying Nationals to rout the Twins and easily take the series. Mission accomplished, I guess?
  7. Lol now you're on to fan policing. Resorting to calling those who disagree with you bad fans is a real sign that you're winning the conversation. Well done sir. This is the same team it was two weeks ago. Sorry you couldn't see what everyone else could. Nobody likes being wrong, but lashing out and calling people "quitters" and "lame" and bad fans is frankly middle school behavior.
  8. Literally no one is saying this. Two weeks ago you ridiculed any fan who advocating selling at the deadline. Now you disingenuously are advocating the same thing and ridiculing any fan who points out your bad faith. It appears you've learned a thing or two from your favorite team about how to treat your customers poorly. It's not our fault that you can't or won't see what's blatantly obvious: this is a bad team and a bad organization.
  9. "Revenue disparity" hahaha. I just love the idea that revenue is forever fixed per market and nothing will ever change that, not sound financial management, not solid PR and fan engagement, not winning, nothing. "It has been decreed from on high and shall always be thus." The genius of this delusion is that there's no accountability for anyone. It's not the Pohlads' fault they put a guy in charge who has destroyed both businesses he's been in charge of; it's the market's fault. It's not the Pohlads' fault they mismanaged their other businesses so poorly they had to use the Twins as a debt shelter; it's the market's fault. It's not the Pohlads' fault they actively alienated most of their fanbase through terrible PR; it's the market's fault. In the real world "revenue disparity" means "my competitors are beating me."
  10. This is absolutely, positively false. MLB umps average about 95% accuracy in a game that involves chucking a ball a hundred miles an hour 60 feet away. They are actually astoundingly accurate, and are only getting better. Grow up. The Twins lost because they are a bad team. Blaming umps is for losers, denigrating them is childish.
  11. Yes, it's amazing, winning and treating your customers well is good for business!
  12. Haha well if you say so! I'll fully admit Cleveland's NHL team and Tampa's NBA team really steal a lot of the attention in those towns. The Cardinals generate more revenue than the larger-market Twins because it's a well run organization that doesn't actively seek to alienate fans and understands that winning is good for business. Not every baseball owner is a failson communications major who has literally run every single business he has led into the ground. Again, saying "this is as good as the Twins will ever be and nothing will ever change that" is such loser thinking. Don't be afraid to dream lil buddy!
  13. This is a great strawman since nobody suggested that we follow the Royals model.
  14. Nope, you should read my post, I want the Twins to model the Cardinals, who are in a smaller market than the Twins yet have won 2 World Series in the past 20 years.
  15. Hey, guys with sub 20 ERAs don't grow on trees....great trade by Billy Smith!
  16. The Twins have "long eyed" the Guardians and Rays because they are cheap, not because they are successful winning organizations. Modeling your team on 2 franchises that have combined for 0 World Series in 75 years is just such a loser mentality. The model for the Twins, if they can't come up with intelligent strategies of their own that fit with this market, should be the Cardinals.
  17. Charley Walters once wrote that the Twins were a possible landing spot for peak-career Alex Rodriguez.
  18. Ah, the sabermetric trick of stating an obscure analytic like it's the be-all, end-all, conversation ending mic drop. What if I don't care about wOBA? What if I think that maybe, just maybe, a baseball player's performance can't be reduced to a single obscure analytic? Wallner's fine. He's a streaky, one tool platoon player like most of the roster. Nobody is mistaking him for a top 10 MLB hitter lol. And he's definitely gone through streaks before, it's so weird that you don't count 2024 for some reason. Well, other than that it doesn't support your argument - another sabermetric tactic of cherry picking stats you like and ignoring those you don't and berating anyone who bothers to disagree. But keep up with the ridicule, it's a great look and does wonders for your credibility.
