Did I miss that from the OP? -
Why in the hell does this team have a pitch to contact ground baller in the bulllen?

I could not agree more. what percentage of MLB players are born outside of the US by year would have been a good start.

I do like The Pogues! Maybe it’s the drum! David Byrne of The Talking Heads is Scottish, so it could also be some UK thing….

Is there another Zoilo?

Anyone else have that snare drum stuck in their head?

Two need to go down, Outman as the second? also, this bullpen really sucks, does Rojas stay up and Banda get DFA’d? I doubt they limit their options so early in the season, but something has to change.

Don’t make assumptions on age or gender. We welcome all Twins Fans here on TD.

At the beginning of the MLB season there are NBA, MLS and NHL. At the end there’s WNBA and NFL. For the middle half of the season, there’s very little overlap. Do the Twins see exaggerated seasonality relative to the Padres? Did the Padres see a spike in sales when the Chargers went to LA? From what I’ve read, the majority of tickets are sold in the offseason and mostly driven by last year’s record, with some very minor spikes due to offseason acquisitions. the mlb-wide view is that NFL is the favorite sport and baseball is a distant second or third, and young people prefer MLS over MLB. This would lend credence to your theory that financially it’s a limited reserve of disposable income, and competitors vie for the same dollars. what about shopping malls? One would think the rent in a shopping mall (indoor or outdoor) would be very extremely low relative to standalone. Why would a boutique retailer want to be located right next door to a giant discounter? Potential customers could just walk next door and pick the lowest price. While indoor shopping malls are indeed struggling, outdoor malls are booming. Even in this era of online shopping, outdoor malls are doing well. Why? Competition is good for everyone.

Ugh indeed! Wishing Abel a speedy recovery!

If Rojas and/or Prielipp have an actual shot at being mlb starting pitching, you are correct. Rojas, agreed with you. Prielipp, he’s pitched 128 innings over 6 years, 82 of which last year. He only has so many bullets in the magazine, I’d rather he used them in the deer stand, and not at the gun range.

Funderburk grateful for support as wife balances expecting baby while battling cancer sending my well wishes and thoughts to the Funderburk family. I could not imagine going through cancer treatment while caring for a newborn and your husband is on the road 50% of the time.

Victim and victimizer are not mutually exclusive. People are people, we should hold our society to account for the things that do not uphold our societal norms. the fan was wrong for telling Duran to kill himself. Duran was wrong for the gay slur. both are true. i condemn both behaviors and expect both individuals and our society at large to be better than that!

I so desperately want to go to your place of work and throw hot pennies and insults at you.

He has 300 plate appearances of all star and 800 plate appearances of below replacement level. Sure there’s upside, but I get the uncertainty

The Twins IP by SP ranked 4th in 2023. I think Rocco’s SP usage had more to do with how good the rotation is vs how good the bullpen is. same with Shelton, that bullpen sucks, and the starters have been good. The more the starters pitch, the less the bullpen does. it would not shock me at all to see their IP by the rotation ranking drop as the season progresses, injuries will thin the ranks further.

This is essentially what 3M did with Imation and Solventum spinoffs but publicly traded instead of private, so different technical mechanisms.

Falvey would have ran up deficits of $50m per year every year and not paid any interest or principle. He would have been fired in 2018. There’s no way the Pohlads would have let it go like that. I bet they ran up that much in 2020 because they didn’t have gate and concession revenue. Most of that debt had to be from opening Target field prior to 2010, and in 2020 paying all of the employees and minor leaguers with only TV revenue for a very short season. In 2020 Falvey was not the business guy, that was St Peter, and I guarantee that the Pohlads signed off on it, maybe pushed it. In 2010 Falvey was not a part of the Twins. That debt isn’t revolving line of credit, it’s long term debt. however, Agreed, Tom absolutely had something to do with Falvey leaving.

I was not expecting to see anything I agree with. I am pleasantly surprised. i also think these very positive activities/outcomes are being weighed far too heavily. These are inexpensive and superficial gestures that don’t indicate an actual change in how the team is run. It’s the start of a change in how the fans are valued, but again, superficial, depth of commitment needs to be proven.
