    To that end, I wonder if there’s some wrangling with the league office on coordinating an MLB streaming service. With Bally hanging by a thread, close to half the teams are close to coming out of their contract.
  2. Richie the Rally Goat
    But 5.75 innings per start and being top 5 rotation innings pitched doesn’t fit the narrative!

    Danny Serafini former Twin arrested for suspicion of homicide and attempted murder

    I’m just here because I found the title amusing. Bravo!

    I think the uncertainty of the TV deal would be a reason why the FO makes a sell high trade. the contract negotiations could drag out to very close to opening day to see who blinks, maybe even a 1 or 2 year deal as a stopgap. If the FO can bring back the right pieces, they could field a competitive team and reduce payroll. I hate to trade away Jeffers or Castro, they filled important roles for the ‘23 team, but you gotta give value to get value, and payroll might be crunched in ‘24.

    Agreed, but “Effectiveness” wasn’t the question, it was if it were possible.
  7. Richie the Rally Goat
    They moved him to DH in the name of health

    I would argue it’s not inaccurate, it’s incomplete. We don’t know if they can’t fix it, but they haven’t so far after several tries.

    And could also receive revenue sharing again depending on where that video broadcasting contract comes in, so the worst case shrinks from there. still, a $10M haircut would hurt a lot. what we don’t really know is, who are the competitors to buy the contract. It’s wide open including MLB and Pohlad companies, as well as other RSNs, streaming platforms, and maybe local TV. It might be a revenue increase, because the legacy contract had some legacy ownership stake in FSN. make no mistake, projected revenue will have a direct impact on spend next year and going to the ALDS with projectable upside to continue post seasons in the future absolutely helps that revenue upside too.

    Exactly As a catcher, Joe Mauer played 133 games per year. After, 134, but made a position change. as a CFer, Buck has played 84 games per year (average leaving out rookie and ‘20). Why would we expect Buxton to play more games after surgery than before? he’s had a couple tremendous hitting seasons, but overall averaged 105 wRC+. It might be fair to expect better than 105 wRC+ due to recency bias, but probably not realistic to expect him to be anywhere close to the 140 of his best season. sure 2023 is likely a low point in his career, but it’s not a deep hole in his chart relative to his career. It’s average, so expecting significantly more isn’t realistic at all
  11. Richie the Rally Goat
    Yup, I think I had 85 wins, and 87 is close enough. Winning a playoff series exceeded my expectations
  12. Richie the Rally Goat
    And Buxton? super disappointed and feel bad for AK, hope he recovers well and soon.
  13. Richie the Rally Goat
    I wouldn’t mind a bulk 5 pack of premium front of the rotation starters, but I’m not sure Costco has them in the TV section
  14. Richie the Rally Goat
    Great season and post season! Thanks to all the game threaders for some great discussion!
  15. Richie the Rally Goat
    Nope
  16. Richie the Rally Goat
    Is it a Paddack paddock?
  17. Richie the Rally Goat
    I would
  18. Richie the Rally Goat
    Chris Paddack has been just awesome to watch. So much energy and excitement!
  19. Richie the Rally Goat
    I disagree with pretty much everything you have ever posted. I agree with most of this. you do see on TD fairly regularly “it was a bad call, but it went the Twins favor so I won’t complain” replay absolutely sucks.
  20. Richie the Rally Goat
    I would think after plunking him twice, the umps would toss Ryan, but maybe that’s all a part of the plan?
  21. Richie the Rally Goat
    me last night Today
  22. Richie the Rally Goat
    That, and…. You know… the Twins do still have a shot at beating the Astros
  23. Richie the Rally Goat
    This! Can’t win every game, even in the post season, but it’s fun to watch a competitive game. no fun to watch a beat down
  24. Richie the Rally Goat
    I sat next to Donovan Solano’s family
  25. Richie the Rally Goat
    He almost threw the fans under the bus, but didn’t. He must be trashed, cuz sober-DSP throws the fans under the bus every time I hear him
