  1. Why the rest of the league? Why not a good owner. Every is well aware sports is full of bad owners. The old boys club of stupid, old boring billionaires that only get off by comparing their big number to their stupid old boring friends big number. Comparing the Pohlads to John Fisher and saying 'It Could Be Worse!' while true, isn't a defense. I find it hilarious the people here carrying water keep mentioning the AL teams to try to make their point...completely ignoring the NL which completely invalidates the point they're trying to make. Mets? Great owner investing in his team. Phillies? Ditto. Padres? Crazy good owner that sadly passed away and had to "right-size" as well and still have a payroll 40 million higher than the Twins in an objectively smaller market. Even the Royals and Guardians don't make the point. These two teams increased spending year over year in order to capitalize on what they thought was a window of opportunity. Defund The Pohlads.
  2. Uninformed masses cheering on a billionaire that doesn't give a **** about them? Nah, doesn't seem likely...
  3. You don't need to pay 1.5 million for a man that was DFA'd 3 times last season.
  4. Different market, and richer owner, but Steve Cohen shows what a good owner looks like. Who cares if you lose $20 million when you can change the culture of your organization while creating lasting memories that bring in a whole new generation of fans?
  5. Holy ****. The best game of the regular season AFTER the last day of the season. What a ****ing game.
  6. Manuel Margot was 4th in all of baseball in pinch hit appearances (and first in Twins OF games!) That's all you need to know to justify his release. Seriously, what the heck more do you need than that.
  7. Considering the roster is already at $133 million, this isn't really great. So, run it back. Or trade Paddack, Buxton, Correa, or Vasquez.
  8. No one wants to say goodbye to Margot. It Buxton doesn't enter the game it's an insult to the fans that showed up on appreciation day.
  9. Sounds like a man ready to cut expenses.
  10. Eeles is fascinating. I hope he gets a real chance. He should if he keeps working hard which must be how he got where he did in the last year.
  11. Loser organization, constantly shooting for 86 wins and hoping it's good enough.
  12. I actually didn't know you can bring food in. Is that typical? I've never considered bringing food to the park before. I should look into it!
  13. I think robbery is still elevated, but every thing else is pretty back to normal.
  14. While this sentiment is true, for like 30% of the country, it's not because it's warranted. Rather due to evil people lying in order to gain power and/or money. Ask 70% of the country and fear mongering about Chicago doesn't work as some dog whistle. People love Chicago. I love Chicago! And of course Montana is different than Chicago. Nearly 10x more people live in Chicagoland than all of Montana. Neither lifestyle is inherently better, but they're drastically different for obvious reasons.
  15. This sort of fan behavior towards a Twins CF has already proven wrong. Puckett was such a good dude...and then we learned that was all fake. Even Torii, seemingly super nice dude...until he exposed his bigotries. Buxton MIGHT be a great dude. But we have no idea.
  16. Whoa whoa whoa. What about superstar addition Margot? Have you already forgotten him?!
  17. Articles like this, celebrating good as if it's great are due to the Twins Organization loser mentality that has permeated much of the fan base. And doing so is how ownership has been able to only bother to strive for good, not great, for 40 years. I'm happy for Buxton that he almost had a somewhat healthy good year. But I'm not celebrating him. And neither should anyone else if we're being honest.
  18. No team was nearly as bad, ever, as the White Sox. So let's not try to play false equivalence.
  19. The Royals and Tigers are also very mediocre, but the Tigers vibes are so strong and they have a legit ace, so they might be able to make a little bit of noise. We'll find out!
  20. Yes. All 13 games against the White Sox were between April 22 and Aug 4 which helped propel them to a 55-35 over that span.
  21. You think HE'D remember that is the point.
  22. The core's ready! Add that to that of Miranda, Julien, Martin, Lee, and Kiriloff and we have...0.8 WAR...that can't be right... Oh dear.
  23. He's less young than he is immature.
  24. Can you imagine how tired he'd be if he was playing postseason baseball? Good thing the twins are done soon. But it's not his fault, he famously doesn't slump.
