  1. I’m sorry to hear that. My wife is a cancer survivor, 16 years ago. It’s such a difficult road.
  2. Provus: “Here’s Nick Gordon, he wants to be a broadcaster and call games.” Gordon: (dead air for a solid minute with nothing happening)
  3. Agreed, I think Falvey completes the teardown this offseason. Jeffers, Ryan and Lopez are his big three trade chips. Wallner is a distant 4, unless Buxton changes his mind. i totally get your position, and this is where I was at pre-deadline. Since, the entire team has collapsed to the point where selling it for spare parts is all they’re getting.
  4. There is no Wallnach. Wallner and Larnach are not interchangeable.
  5. It’s more nuanced than cost. Yes, cost is a part of it. the movie industry has been catering to children’s taste and cultivating child cinema fans through adolescence and into adulthood since the early days of “talkies”. Theatres today with all the streaming options and such, still develop their audience and grow their business. Have you been to Knothole Sunday’s where kids run the bases this season? There are more Ronaldo Jerseys on kids backs than there are Twins Jerseys in the whole ballpark.
  6. Agreed Lou. Accessibility is an MLB problem, not just the Twins, but accessibility in general, especially with kids, would benefit the sport and Twins Fandom over the long run. Kids should always be significantly cheaper than adults. A buck or two or 5 type of price for kids under 16. The 6:40 weekday start is very good having some games on free TV would be very good, the streaming option being affordable is a very good step. Baseball for beginners type of broadcast/simulcast There used to be scorecards given away by the ushers back in the day, with the stubby pencil. I taught my now wife to keep score, and that helped her understand the game. unfortunately all this stuff has a cost, that the Pohlads are too short sighted, or too obtuse, to see through. Their investment into the team, into the ballpark, into building a market is how they grew their investment from $44m to $1.7b, and yet they cut in the ways that help them grow their business. this stuff is super obvious, and any business owner worth a darn would already be doing it.
  7. Good question! I can only imagine that it was too late when the FO found out and couldn’t call someone up in time. The bullpen is on fumes and someone is going to get hurt.
  8. It’s growing on me. I’m a Twins fan first and a Brewers fan second, less an MLB fan. I’m a Packers fan, but no longer really an NFL fan. I’ll watch a Bucks or T-Wolves game, but not regularly, I can’t stand NHL… but I’m picking up the random MLS and World Cup games without having a dog in the fight, more and more.
  9. Have you been to a Twins game on a Sunday lately? Half of the fans are kids, 75% of them wearing Ronaldo Jerseys. 2 Sundays ago there were more white Fly Emirates jerseys than Twins jerseys in the stands.
  10. Current Pablo, past Tony O, announcer John Gordon, Manager TK
  11. There’s a 40% chance Pablo plays 11 more years? I’d take the under on that bet
