    "there is little doubt that Wallner's powerful bat will be part of the Twins line-up for most of the next decade" I think you're a little ahead of your skis here. Only around 30 hitters in the history of the team made it a decade with the team. You're essentially predicting he'll be a Twins Hall of Famer based on a nice September debut.
  2. DJL44
    Let's hope Varland fares better than the previous 4 winners of this award.

    I would actually like to attend Friday night to see Ohtani pitch. Unfortunately I already had plans to do something else. It also looks like it's $27 a piece if you want to get a seat where you can actually see the pitcher (upper deck behind home plate).

    Is that true for weekend games in the summer or just the crappy weather games when school is still in session? Do you actually get a seat or is that standing room only? I went to one game this season as part of a group. Tickets were $20 each for section T. It was nearly $200 for the 5 of us once I figured in parking and hot dogs from the "cheap" concession stand. We had to leave at the seventh inning stretch at 10:00pm (despite the 6:40 start time) because I had to get up and go to work the next day. I usually attend if I don't have a conflict when work gets group discount tickets. That has cost $10-12 a ticket for the 330 sections.
  5. DJL44
    I disagree. Tickets are expensive enough that I only budget to attend once a year.
  6. DJL44
    On the Saints depth chart?
  7. DJL44
    Jose Miranda has definitely cooled off. Last 28 days split - .243/.325/.379. Time to make an adjustment.
  8. DJL44
    I agree, this is a garbage hot take. Do you just hate whoever is getting paid the most?
  9. DJL44
    Raising prices isn't going to help their falling attendance. You will see a lot of discounting to try to get people in the door. 12% is a huge increase on already expensive tickets to a half-empty stadium.
  10. DJL44
    I'm sure Matt Wallner's friends and family are not going to stay home and avoid Target Field because they already saw him play at CHS Field.
  11. DJL44
    They usually like the teenagers to attend high school until the FCL starts rather than playing A-ball.
  12. DJL44
    I agree with this, though they did make bold moves this past offseason dealing away Donaldson and Garver (both positive moves), extending Buxton, signing Correa and trading for Gray. Buying at the trade deadline is almost never a net positive for an organization. This offseason's bold decisions will involve Kepler and Polanco and perhaps Urshela and Gray,
  13. DJL44
    Scratch-off tickets are cheap but the odds are terrible
  14. DJL44
    I wanted them to sign both.
  15. DJL44
    I don't trust any prospect who hasn't seen AA yet. That's a big jump and it exposes a lot of players flaws.
  16. DJL44
    I doubt they trade Gray in the offseason. They have a hard enough time acquiring pitching and he'll return just as much if they trade him at the deadline next summer.
  17. DJL44
    If the Twins had decided to stand pat at the deadline the collapse would have happened the same way. People would be upset they didn't even try in a season where they were in first place. I agree, teams need to take a risk. They won't all work out. They shouldn't all work out. If all your trades work out then you probably aren't making enough of them.
  18. DJL44
    No, they sold high on Berrios. They'd be selling low on Mahle and Maeda.
  19. DJL44
    The Mets just pulled Max Scherzer after 6 perfect innings and 65 pitches. This is not just a Twins philosophy.
  20. DJL44
    They're also going to sell some tickets to hometown fans who want to see Varland and Wallner play at Target Field.
  21. DJL44
    They can do a lot better than Palacios if Correa leaves. Thankfully it isn't either/or.
  22. DJL44
    Not only that, he was a 5th year senior sign who was drafted in round 10 mainly because he would have a small bonus and the money could be assigned to other draft picks. He's hit the snot out of the ball at the professional level.
  23. DJL44
    I like this idea. He needs to be added to the 40 man roster. I would never worry about service time for pitchers. Use them when they're healthy.
  24. DJL44
    Ohtani has me intrigued. He should pitch one of those days.
  25. DJL44
    They do consistently underperform when it comes to infield defense. Correa won a Platinum glove and this season he was slightly above average.
