    I used to like the one or two nicknames per team that were creative The bats are harmless I guess. More fodder for game thread pun material, if nothing else The hat numbers are pointless and dumb on several levels

    Am I crazy or should DET want to get the lead runner out?

    I married a Packer fan. The battle for the souls of our children has begun

    Give him time, he's only 28

    21 ABs with RISP tonight for Detroit Have the Twins had that many all week?
  6. The Great Hambino
    This has "Twins lose 8-7" written all over it

    GOOD THING THEY DID THAT PREGAME PITCHER FIELDING WORK!!!!

    (I know)

    Weird that Smoltz felt the need to dip into his child abuse material in a one run game He is not my favorite. If I wanted to hear incessant whining about modern baseball, I'd have someone narrate the game threads to me

    Okay, I definitely don't have "Wallner scores from second on a ball that didn't leave the infield" on my Twingo card
  11. The Great Hambino
    I don't understand that. If they want the Pohlads to hear it, why are they doing it at Target Field?

    Can't believe no one wanted Funderburk during The Great Bullpen Purge of 2025

    MLB: "Hey players, how do you want to show off your individual personalities on Players Weekend?" Players: "Weird NASCAR numbers on the side of our hats"
  14. The Great Hambino
    Looked like Buxton was expecting Wallner to get there

    Maximizing development opportunities. Smart

    You were wondering how it carried so far...

    That metal ring in the sweet spot of Lees bat has got to be illegal

    Good, I could use a drink

    Kody "Big Cat" Clemens

    I guess the Gasper DH pitchforks have to be put down for the night - or at least replaced with the Larnach leading off pitchforks
  21. The Great Hambino
    Not to mention Gray's ERA has been a full run higher with the Cardinals (3.94) than with the Twins (2.90). Doesn't look like those deeper starts have paid off too well for the Cardinals For all the complaints about Rocco, this really isn't a valid one

    Hey, I want them to win just as much as you do! I'm on the other end of the spectrum, where I was too young to really be able to enjoy 1991 - even though I was the only one in my kindergarten class to sit and watch the victory parade on the TV our teacher wheeled into the classroom. So at least you got to fully experience a couple of championships! I just don't see a realistic chance of them competing next year. It would be a longshot even if they brought the payroll back to 2024-25 levels. So I'd rather see them angle for more realistic contention a couple years down the road. Maybe by then the new CBA reshuffles the deck and they hit 2028 ready to truly roll. That's my hope, anyway, for all Twins fans

    Uhhh .... they've just started the cost cutting thing. They've been trying to spend relative to their market up until this deadline. If the debt has truly been accumulated solely through baseball operations (highly dubious), then that's all the more reason (in their cynical eyes) to cut costs and make their profit the way the Pirates have.
  24. The Great Hambino
    The problem is that a good portion of their revenue is guaranteed regardless of their performance (national media deals) and portions of revenue that aren't will be partially offset through receiving a bigger piece of the revenue sharing pie. Since what they make is determined by revenue minus costs (you keep ignoring that part), it's pretty easy to see that a cynical bunch like the Pohlads sees cutting costs as a much easier and reliable path to profitability as compared to hoping increased spending will generate that much more revenue. They have to be a legitimate contender to generate that type of revenue. They are not the retention of Lopez/Ryan and the reinvestment of Correa's savings away from legitimate contention.
