    The San Diego Padres are a great example of what the Twins could be if they had an owner that wasn't awful. The padres used to be owned by old losers too, but the Krocs sold the team. The team passed through some different hands before arriving where they are now. Ten years ago, the two franchises weren't too dissimilar. Beautiful ballpark in downtown area, comparable market size (although Twin Cities are larger), similar franchise value, similar payroll. And then, something happened. Peter Siedler bought out the rest of the owners and said, 'eff this, why is a billionaire running a sports franchise like a McDonald's and not like a team trying to be exciting and win a championship?' And since then, the Padres entire culture has changed. Sure, they lost $60 million in 2023...but the franchise grew $200 million in value. So why would a billionaire care? Padres are out there spending, and trying, and the fans are rewarding them. They're going to the park. They're going from passive fans to loyal fans. The investment is paying off. The Mets are trying the same thing, but obviously the market isn't at all comparable. But I can tell you Mets fandom in the city is no longer a punchline. It's a common occurrence. The Mets are exciting. And the Twins could be too.

    Never assume that someone is intelligent just because they've had success.
  3. NYCTK
    Seriously. The announcement of the payroll cut was one thing, but firing Bremer was when I realized I hated whomever was calling the shots. And for this guy? Pathetic. It's not like Dick wasn't a homer, but he wasn't a joke either.
  4. NYCTK
    He's paid by the Twins. And he needs to pretend as if the Twins product we just consumed was of great entertainment value. Those of us that have seen baseball before know better.
  5. NYCTK
    Yeah. Vital. Most important. Can describe it a lot of ways. Saying, and repeating, it's the best win of the year tells me you're an unserious person and purely a propagandist. I was a bit low on him before tonight, but tonight I can solidly say I do not like him as a play by play.
  6. NYCTK
    "Twins are three outs away from their best win of the year." Um. Define best.

    Oh man, we got to Cooper Criswell! Playoff teams be prepared!
  8. NYCTK
    These teams are both done for the season. Can they just play rock paper scissors for the W?
  9. NYCTK
    Against a righty! Like...how? Honestly, Rocco seems to have really decided to quit on the team.
  10. NYCTK
    You know, I'm really starting to suspect that rostering a player like Margot that excels at nothing is actually detrimental to the team. We'll have to bring him back next season to be sure.
  11. NYCTK
    History! This makes it all worth it! What a season!
  12. NYCTK
    What I been saying. The expanded playoffs sucks. Ain't no one wanna watch these teams in October. Half of us are hoping they lose so we can stop now.
  13. NYCTK
    Wow. I can't believe he threw all of Ronny, Varland, Tonkin, and Thielbar before Jax. Hilarious if we're being honest.
  14. NYCTK
    Is Jax hurt or something?
  15. NYCTK
    Truly baffling. Does Rocco think they've already been eliminated?
  16. NYCTK
    He's not good if he's not able to adjust. I think today is frankly ridiculous that he came in the 8th because...Ronny is pitching to Devers? But if he's truly such a basket case that he can only be useful in a save situation we should trade him immediately.
  17. NYCTK
    Agreed. All the complaining about Duran pitching before the 9th is just infantilizing him. He's a professional athlete. He should he ready to pitch in the 6th if necessary. Man up.
  18. NYCTK
    Best I can do is a full count.
  19. NYCTK
    He's been way under what was advertised. 2024 should have been the year they went for it and he would have been the perfect candidate to bring in a proper 1B or SP before the season.
  20. NYCTK
    Seth Lugo was failed starter. Until he wasn't.
  21. NYCTK
    If he wants to try, I think he should be given the chance. He should be allowed to show up to Spring Training and try to prove himself and if he is able to win a spot, fantastic. If he's able to stretch out and be a 6th starter, jumping up and down from St Paul, awesome. If he fails and just goes into the BP, that's fine too. Refusing to allow a good pitcher to try to be better is just bad management. SP can always fail and go back to the BP, but the reverse can really only happen once a year.
  22. NYCTK
    Which is why he's the only one that I don't find nauseating.
  23. NYCTK
    That's the thing, Twins fans deserve better than for smoke to be constantly being blown up their arse. I just find is so insulting. You can be critical of the team you cover while still being respectful.
  24. NYCTK
    So we can DFA him twice as much?
  25. NYCTK
    Morneau sucks in the booth. But he's a company man, so they love him.
