    Because they're charging $30 for the "cheap seats" on weekends in the summer. This is simple supply and demand.

    Go look at Joe Torre's record as a manager before he got hired by the Yankees. Now look at how Dusty Baker did before he turned 50.
  3. DJL44
    True, but there's also not that much difference between managers at the professional level. They all run the same batting and fielding practices. The differences are subtle and there is rarely a truly incompetent manager at the MLB level. If the Dodgers swapped managers with the Twins, would either team notice?

    Correa was often one of the players giving less than 100% effort. It's hard to call people out when you don't lead by example. Then everyone just thinks you're a hypocrite.

    I'd much rather pay to watch the Twins games than to watch Hulu. I have been very satisfied with the $100 I spent on Twins TV this season. I have mostly not watched the Twins for several years after cutting the cord on cable.

    Seven more revenue sharing teams lost a World Series in those 20 seasons. That adds up to almost 25% of the teams in the World Series. The Cardinals and Tigers are basically revenue neutral and they made it.

    Worth reminding people that baseball has the most parity of any major sport. The Brewers have the best record in baseball.

    Right now their only hope is he has learned from all the mistakes he has made, changed the way he values talent and come up with a new strategy. Anyone see any evidence of that?

    Gus Varland is free agent

    Buy tickets if you think the price is fair for the entertainment. Otherwise, don't. This is really a simple decision.

    He seems to be playing hard for Houston....

    Sabato is 26 and has a .768 OPS in AAA. That’s nothing special.
  13. DJL44
    Empty stadiums are fine with me. That leads to better ticket bargains. I just don’t want to be there if people are spending the game yelling at the owners.

    The Lynx are in the middle of a championship season RIGHT NOW
  15. DJL44
    I’m pretty sure this is how it will be the rest of the season in the comment section “Why don’t they bring up the young guys from AAA” Twins bring up a rookie “This guy sucks, why did they bring him up from AAA?”
  16. DJL44
    Outman should come up

    I really hope every remaining game doesn’t turn into a protest for upset fans. People need to relax, literally. It’s a baseball game. It’s not important. It’s a chance to unwind and enjoy summer. I have been attending more Saints games lately, but mostly because the tickets are cheaper and access is easier from my house. I would attend a Twins game again even if the Pohlads continue to own the team because it’s not about them. It’s about me enjoying watching baseball at the highest level. I really don’t want other people telling me I can’t enjoy baseball anymore. If you are disgruntled please stay home. If you want to protest and change the world, pick something that actually matters. There are hundreds of other things that are broken in this world that could use that energy.

    Robust, but the return will be for a 1-season, expiring contract pitcher.
  19. DJL44
    2 and 3 are in direct conflict with each other. If they aren't worth anything to the Twins due to a lost 2027 season, then they aren't worth anything to any other teams for the same reason. I don't agree with #1. Joe Ryan is cheap and Pablo Lopez is getting paid way below market rate. If the Twins can't afford these guys then they will NEVER be able to build a contender. You can't contend with 26 players with less than 3 years experience on pre-arbitration salaries.

    Loved watching Keaschall hit the ball to the right side of the infield to bring the runner in from 3B. That situational hitting has been rare this season.
  21. DJL44
    Late developing often means they’re taking advantage of younger competition. Sure, Fedko might be better than Martin, but he’s most likely not and I don’t even like Martin. Fedko has a AAAA non-prospect profile like McCusker or Keirsey or Gasper. The odds are against his success.
  22. DJL44
    I don’t know how you read that between the lines. I find Austin Martin quite frustrating and was really happy they signed Bader. I just have low expectations for players who are old for their level and debut at age 26. Fedko reminds me a little of Dustan Mohr. Decent platoon player for a few seasons. Even Mohr debuted at age 25.
  23. DJL44
    They're both 4th OF, but Martin has already shown he can hit enough to be a 4th OF in the majors and Fedko hasn't yet. Martin has the higher floor and a similar ceiling. Fedko could be right-handed hitting Dashawn Keirsey. Gonzalez could actually become a starting outfielder.
  24. DJL44
    Fedko has very little upside. He might be good enough to hold down a bench job for a while but unlikely to ever become a starting caliber player.
