How to get on here so you can talk? I understand the third time through the lineup thing but when Paddock is pitching the best game of the year he had two of them you don't take him out after 78 pictures and just six innings he's way ahead at that point. Then looks what happens after you take him out. The better clearly swung at the pitch and the Umpire called it a no swing. At that point the game would have been over. No fault against Bader he made his dive and his glove could only reach the top of the ball. One of the two guys that closes it's going to have to pitch 3 days in a row because Paddock was taken out of the game and their guy just off of injury throws 106 pictures. Let's play ball that's not playing ball pulling the guy in that situation. I have followed the twins since 1965 I've never seen this this way before. Let the guy throw if he gives up a hit in the 7th inning then take him out give him a chance to give up a hit first that's no different than the manager putting the player on base with somebody already on base.

Talking baseball player money means talking ownership revenues and massive cost to see a game. I read so often where someone says oh that's not much he's only 2 million dollars do you like going to a game where a person makes two million dollars just to play a game while you are making nowhere near that calling it cheap oh that salaries cheap none of it is cheap it's extraordinarily crazy money and Derek Jeter said that one time on the David Letterman show when he was making 15K a year. The first free agent signing made $350,000 for the season unheard of. I have not been to a game in 7 years and I will never go to a game again because of this crazy money and seemingly we the fans don't mind throwing big money at watching a game if you have it so only 5% of the public can actually go to a game with a decent seat. Boycott baseball don't anybody go to a game for an entire season let these greedy players understand they can play for $500,000 a year and be happy

I like to speak to something a little different but associated with it. I'm an older man. The first game I went to I got a box seat behind home plate for $4.50 in Washington where the twins used to be. The players were grossly underpaid. Calvin Griffith would offer Brett blyle living and Jim caught like 9,000 to maybe 13,000 a season. Now however all sports has lost its mind and the customers aren't far behind because you're willing to complain that and I'll they weave because I've been a conscious follower of the twins since 1964. I think the minimum Major League salary is somewhere close to a million dollars. How is that possible how does a quarterback in the NFL with 20 football games all together make $60 million? People pay incredible money for advertised products and they pay incredible money to watch a game. I've read comments where let's get so and so he's real cheap so I'm going to cost about six million! Is that cheap to you do you make that much money does anybody reading this make that much money? If the highest paid player made $1 million dollars they'd still work for it and you wouldn't have to pay $300 maybe even $2,000 or more to sit behind the New York Yankees dugout for one game this is grossly out of hand and the Minnesota Twins ownership evidently understands that. You have followed the direction of the original New York by the players don't use your head to make trades and good draft picks just buy them what fun is winning that way it's not fine you didn't work for it you just bought the guy and I say don't do it. According to the awesome announcer the Hawk Harrelson the twins are the most respected organization over the past 60 years. The most Harmon Killebrew ever made was 110,000. We're talking about a game not a doctor saving people's lives doing heart transplants. These people are not worth it oh he earned every penny no he didn't. Somebody makes $30 million a season there's nothing you can do to earn that much money playing a game. The twins have been making some pretty awful trades though lately Cincinnati twice with Mahle who we already knew had a bad arm and good Lord look at Steel how you give that up?
