    Kansas City is actually a small market unlike the Twins. But you know what they did this offseason and trade deadline? Spent money to improve their team. And we should expect them to again. I don't think anyone's saying spending money is a pathway to guaranteed success. But announcing that you're cutting payroll after a decent season sure is a message that ownership doesn't want to invest to win. Every dollar they spend is purely calculated for ROI.

    I apologize, I read he'd been fighting his illness for months before his passing. That's on me. But, the point stands. A billionaire towards the end of his life realizing obscene wealth is obscene. And might as well spend it.

    They traded a lot of men, but it was basically one prospect and additional flyers. And both those prospects are the type that SD probably did well receiving any value for. Two SP with allure but no actual success. I like what SD is doing.

    The twins used their worst guys yesterday. No one in the bullpen was actually taxed yesterday. No one went more than 1.1 innings. Everyone should be available, except maybe Varland since that was 3 straight days for him if I'm not mistaken.

    While it's true he wanted to see them win before he passes, the change didn't happen because he got sick. He jacked up expenditures long before that. He was one of the billionaires that understood being rich has no value if you're not investing it in your community. He was well known to invest in San Diego, particularly homeless initiatives. Meanwhile our owner started earning his wealth by making people homeless. Go figure. I'm sure Carl is looking up at his family and smiling at their financial prudence.

    Manuel Margot is just indicative of how poorly run this team is. He was brought in as a defensive insurance for Buxton and he can't play CF. His hitting woes aren't some surprise, the guy has a career ops under 700. As soon as Rocco determined he couldn't be a suitable CF backup, the Twins needed to bring in someone else. And they just...didn't. Instead, Rocco has managed this team to allow Manuel Margot to be the #1 OF of the year. No player played the OF more than Margot! This team deserves 0-30.

    I really like Ober. I made call with my buddy that he'd receive a Cy Young vote this year. And while that likely won't happen, it wasn't a ridiculous call in the end.

    The top guys, sure. But in general that's not true. Erceg went for three warm bodies.

    They added Trevor Richards (that was his name right?) at the trade deadline. They traded for Manuel Margot. They gave Carlos Correa a massive contract after multiple other teams ripped up their deals due to health concerns...and we've seen that once mvp caliber player become a part time injury risky. So...maybe?

    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.

    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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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!
  17. NYCTK
    These teams are both done for the season. Can they just play rock paper scissors for the W?
  18. NYCTK
    Against a righty! Like...how? Honestly, Rocco seems to have really decided to quit on the team.
  19. 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.
  20. NYCTK
    History! This makes it all worth it! What a season!
  21. 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.
  22. NYCTK
    Wow. I can't believe he threw all of Ronny, Varland, Tonkin, and Thielbar before Jax. Hilarious if we're being honest.
  23. NYCTK
    Is Jax hurt or something?
  24. NYCTK
    Truly baffling. Does Rocco think they've already been eliminated?
  25. 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.
