  1. That’s 750,000 times where MN sports fans had a decision about what ticket to buy and they decided they would rather watch the Lynx or Loons than attend a Twins game.
  2. I would like to see Saints attendance numbers. They had nearly empty games when the weather was bad in April. I have been getting a lot more ticket offers from them in my email. The game I attended last Thursday was far from a sellout.
  3. The Loons play in the sketchiest part of the whole city and their attendance has been stable. The Lynx play next door to the Twins at the same time of year and their attendance has been stable.
  4. Basketball and even soccer seem much more popular among the 18-30 year olds with disposable time and income. Baseball is viewed as “grandpa’s sport”.
  5. I think Raya got cheated out of making his debut. If they start the 9th up by seven he gets the call.
  6. One way to keep Jackson on the roster until the deadline is to drop down to 12 pitchers. The 13th pitcher has been mostly terrible this season.
  7. Not a bad idea. I would have Keaschall play 2B when there is a LH starter and LF when there is a RH starting pitcher. I would use Roden instead of Fedko in the meantime as well. Roden hit LHP in AAA almost as well as Fedko and he’s crushing RHP.
  8. Dozens of D3 schools would close.
  9. Clemens is pretty good at 2B. Roden to RF and Clemens to 2B improves the defense. Martin is exactly what they hoped they would get from Manny Margot.
  10. There is no reason this team should hang on to expensive veteran role players to try to eke out 78 wins instead of finishing with 75 wins. There is no AL Central 3rd place pennant to hang in the rafters. If you want to acquire a free agent as good as Larnach this offseason it will cost about the same as he is expected to cost in arbitration.
  11. Guys 3+ years away can be traded later for guys who are ready to play now. Get the best return now and figure out 2027 in the offseason.
  12. The bat looks good. I’m not sure he’s an outfielder.
  13. There are too many holes to fill without completely gutting the farm system. This is not the season to push in all the chips. I think when you trade you should always get the most valuable pieces, even if they are only in A-ball. Those players can be traded (or allow you to trade someone else) in the offseason for near-term help. Sell high in July and buy low in January.
  14. Kyler Fedko was the available pinch hitter. If I ran the team and Shelton pinch hit for Byron Buxton with Kyler Fedko, I would fire him on the spot. He wouldn’t even get to do the postgame interview.
  15. MLBPA should ban interviews during the game in the next CBA. They mostly suck content-wise and the players are busy trying to play baseball.
  16. The Twins are paying Bell $7M for that kind of production and he has negative trade value. Larnach is going to have very little trade value at $7-8M arbitration salary.
  17. If he takes after Arraez, Luke will finally rate as a good second baseman in 2031.
