    The whole point of leveraging your bullpen is to have your top pitcher face the top hitters every time you have a chance to win. That should be the goal of every manager.

    His skill set is valued quite highly in arbitration, more than it would be as a free agent.

    The best revenue for in-stadium advertising comes, not coincidentally, from locations that are in the sight line of the typical TV camera angles. Those ads are essentially TV ads that BSN doesn't get any revenue from. Why else would the Dodgers get an in-stadium ad buy for Japanese cat food? Without a TV audience those in-stadium ad rates are going to be a LOT lower.

    That's a league wide problem

    Will huge ad money follow Shohei Ohtani from Angels to Dodgers? – Orange County Register (ocregister.com) Brands love in-stadium advertising because it is a constant, non-skippable commercial.

    There's two options here that make sense 1) Morris messed up, overplayed the Twins hand and they ended up back at BSN with little leverage. The Twins told her to leave. 2) Morris set something brand new up and was about to start it before she was overruled by higher up execs who chose 1 year with BSN. She left because her work was not appreciated.

    This has to be absolutely killing their in-stadium advertising sales revenue. "Advertise with us and a few people who use DirectTV will see it!" Yes, and Comcast has all of the leverage. It probably benefits Comcast to crush Diamond Sports and make them go away completely. Comcast is not just a customer, they are a competitor with their own regional sports channels. Eliminating Diamond Sports would make MLB more likely to take Comcast's terms to stream games on Peacock or partner with them on regional sports networks.

    This is true. Most times when I'm reading comments I don't even pay attention to who said them.

    Vazquez has a well deserved defensive reputation. It isn't just because his bat is bad.
  10. DJL44
    That's a great option for some. For me that would mean: Get home around midnight every evening, lose job due to lack of sleep, wife divorces me because I'm never home.... For my dad who just lost the games because his senior apartments have Xfinity that's a non-starter. I find attending games at Target Field to be a fun thing to do once a year. I don't understand how people have enough leisure time to buy full season tickets. If I can catch a few innings on the radio broadcast it's a win. I don't know how people have 5 hours of free time in the evenings to attend games regularly.

    Is Rortvedt actually a good defensive catcher or do people just assume he's good defensively because he can't hit? Jeffers is an average defensive catcher. Pair that with his bat and you have a candidate for the All-Star game roster.
  12. DJL44
    He should have been offered a contract extension in the offseason. That was a missed opportunity.
  13. DJL44
    How is "use a radio" #4 on the list of ways of listening to games on the radio?
  14. DJL44
    Is any team out there wishing they took Keirsey in the Rule 5 draft? He's having a very nice April.

    iPhone using Safari. The ads load as I scroll down and every time a new one pops in it starts me over at the top of the article. On my work computer the virus scanner checks everything as it loads individually for adware and load times are glacial. For example, I click on the notifications and it can take 5-10 minutes to load that pop-up window.
  16. DJL44
    I rarely use my phone to access the site. As I'm scrolling a new ad pops in and moves me back to the top of the article repeatedly. It's unusable.
  17. DJL44
    Whoever gets injured next. He's not forcing his way back quite yet.
  18. DJL44
    I tend to watch individual players more than other teams. I do like the Brewers and will root for whoever is playing the Yankees.
  19. DJL44
    About $6M or enough to get a terrible starting pitcher.
  20. DJL44
    Channel 9 is the FOX affiliate. They were broadcasting baseball this very evening.
  21. DJL44
    Not sure why the Twins would be interested in another 1 year contract. They should be looking for a long-term solution. There is really no reason to have the home and away teams producing separate broadcasts of the same game with redundant cameras and production crews. That may be an area that gets cut to save money if MLB takes over the broadcasts. MLB could sell their feed to anyone for rebroadcast over the air, on cable or streaming.
  22. DJL44
    That one is an emphatic no. Jackson Holliday is in the Orioles system.
  23. DJL44
    Their current model is not viable long term and generates less TV revenue than every team in MLB. Non-exclusive partnerships would do a much better job of building the fanbase which should lead to more ticket sales. I have heard rumors that MLB, NBA and NHL are working on a partnership for a sports streaming service. That would be a good path forward but I'm worried it will turn into a fragmented mess where games are parceled out and sold to several streaming services.
  24. DJL44
    That would explain why none of the money was allocated to payroll.
  25. DJL44
    Are the Twins really that stupid? If I was negotiating with a bankrupt company I would ask for payment in advance.
