    I just registered as well. Very excited

    I don't "hate" Eddie Rosario, It's not his fault - I don't hold anything against the guy, and really like watching him play. I just think you can get almost as much, if not more value from a player making $11.5 million less than him. I hope hope Eddie Rosario gets a really big payday in free agency.

    especially looking at alternatives in house. Cave (113 wRC+) Wade(98 wRC+), Kirilloff(121 wRC+ in AA) & Rooker (139 wRC+ in AAA) all in house ready to back fill at major league rookie rates, or Eddie Rosario (103 wRC+) at 12 mil or more.

    Another GREAT article Ted! Fantastic work!

    they have enough fielders to play sandlot ball on the taxi squad. You can rehab that way.
  6. Richie the Rally Goat
    wouldn’t rehab happen at CHS?

    This is a really good blog that backs up your assertion of too much money tied into too few stocks: https://wolfstreet.com/2020/07/11/wild-ride-to-nowhere-appl-msft-amzn-goog-and-fb-soar-to-new-high-rest-of-the-stock-market-is-a-dud-has-been-for-years/

    If you want to re-create that experience, you can get the heat at home kits to eat while streaming a ball game. I doubt they still have the food trucks running during the Covid, but OMG is that good! https://www.hotindianfoods.com/

    count on it!

There’s even a week in there with two day games in a row.

    Viruses mutate. People can get the flu or common cold, several times in a season, even with a vaccine. Unfortunately we still aren't sure yet if Covid is like Measles, or if Covid is like Flu, or somewhere in the middle.

    It’s a good reminder that the stock market is not the economy. I would think at some point the broader economy will impact investors decisions, but the vast majority of stock is held by institutional investors. When your metric is no longer the traditional long term investment metrics, but being able to transact faster than other institutions, logic gets cloudy, and day trading gets harder. I too am hoarding cash, but I never sold off. Because my horizon is far enough off that I can recover a couple bad years, I’m sitting tight.

    Mod note: since this is the OP it is “the topic”, therefore cannot be “way off topic”. Carry on: Desk tops are relatively easy. Laptops, not so much. My computer building days are quite outdated, but I’d think a processor and graphics card, even high end, would be cheaper than buying new. Processors require you to unseat the heat sink, lift a retention arm, has delicate pins, and needs to be seated correctly with the heat paste. It’s one of the harder replacement jobs that I’ve done, but it’s something any reasonably handy person can do. When replacing the processor I used to replace the heat sink and upgrade that as well. Discharge static and apply fabric softener or anti static spray around your work station. Make sure your new chip set fits your board. Buy thermal paste. If your processor or heat sink come with it, buy it anyways. It’s critical! As far as kind, I’m not sure, I favored AMD back in the day, and with AMD you have a reasonable chance it fits. Graphics cards are a very easy replacement. They just plug into the board and have one or two retainers. Again, I’m dated, but graphics cards used to be pretty inexpensive. There’s good YouTube tutorials out there too, if I were in your shoes, I’d DIY. Then again, I got sick of having to do this stuff continuously and bought a video game console and MacBook

    “I’m falling asleep on the chair tonight” I haven’t used my phone charger next to the easy chair in months. It’s about time... Thanks for the hearty chuckle RBS

    Great article/interview Ted! I look forward to more!

    As outsiders, we only get bits and pieces of a privately held organization. Pohlad Family Foundation was established in 1993 or 94 (I have seen both) https://m.startribune.com/pohlad-family-foundation-focuses-its-giving-on-housing-issues/486494821/ Also, Pohlad produced 12 years a slave, which was released in 2013. Falvey and Levine have clearly made their impact on the MN Twins. It’s less clear to me their impact on the broader Pohlad Companies/Foundation because of the history that predates. For all we know, a conservative corporate culture (that predates Bill/Jim/Bob) just took a while to match the personal convictions of the siblings. It’s welcome change, but might not be as radical or swift as 4 years. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and doing good things, is good! Kudos to the Pohlad Family and MN Twins for stepping up big!

    Oh man that’s funny

    Erroneous act? Chauvin committed a criminal act. Murder is a crime. Chauvin will get a chance to face his accuser in court hopefully go to jail, and when his sentence is up, leave, try to start his life over. I never said anything about Floyd’s character, frankly that’s not relevant. Floyd may well be a criminal, that doesn’t make any of this OK. Floyd died, how much more responsibility can a man take?

    victim blaming is really bad look. Please don’t post this type of thing.

    If you don’t have money to give, but have some time to spare, there are many food pantries that need labor to help pack boxes and load cars/carts and such. Justin Grimm (Justin.grimm@elca.org) from the ELCA is organizing one at Bethlehem Lutheran-Midway. My wife drove in yesterday to help. Everyone masked up for Covid, social distanced and appreciated the help.

    Well written/articulated and thought out post. I disagree with you, but respect your work.

    Well said Nick! If we sit idly by and say nothing, then how are we any better than those three police officers who watched Derek Chauvin kill a man in cold blood?
  24. Richie the Rally Goat
    It looks like each affiliate has 36 players, 7 affiliates with Dominican is 252 minor leaguers at 400 per week is $100k weekly over 20 weeks, out of pocket for the Pohlads. $2M is a lot of money, but in the grand scheme, it’s not much compared to what a single major league free agent makes. Thrilled the Twins are supporting their players. Disappointed other teams aren’t.

    Proud to be a Twins Fan! Fantastic news
