    All of which reminds me, what do you call Batman's mother's mother's mother's mother's mother's mother?

    Holy disappointing at bat, man.

    From 2-0 to that. Nice AB, Joey.

    I concur with Dick.

    Wherefore art thou, Rocco?

    Don't feel bad, I get the same from Mrs Chief a couple times a day, minimum.

    Dick: "Kepler hitting lefties as well as righties...that's not saying much, granted. "

    Wow. One of my all time favorites. James L Brooks, when he was like 12

    Holy cow Miranda. Swing the bat.

    Are you kidding? We turned a leadoff double followed by a single into a run!!1!

    I always get annoyed when i use a pencil and the eraser is used up. So I worked on a new pencil design, with 2 erasers. I tried and tried, but I've decided the whole thing is pointless.

    Good start.

    The 8th was the top the order for Baltimore. I have no problem with asking Duran to get the top out in the 8th, and someone else take the 9th I kind of doubt the 8th would have been Stewart's, even if he was available.

    Also nice to see Lopez have some success and get a W against a good offense.

    I don't know what I expected in the way of change, post Rocco-rant, but "minor rearrangement of deck chairs" wasn't in my thought process.

    Arraez has 20 XBHs and is SLG .485, higher than every Twin not named Matt Wallner.
  18. USAFChief
    Wut?

    Concur, concur, concur. Regardless your position on the "pitching pipeline," it's painful to look at position player development under Falvine. They've not brought a single diference maker to the lineup from the minors outside of 2023 Arraez. Not one. Lewis still has a chance. Maybe Kirilloff, if you squint and cross your fingers. But to date? Nada. Zip. Zilch.

    Sano last did either of those things in 2019.

    I have zero issue with current Twins player expenditures. None. That hasn't been the case until recently, but they're spending approximately what they should in 2023. I wish they could spend more on international free agent youths, but I believe they're capped by rule. I will accept that ownership wants to win. I just do not believe ownership is more interested in winning than profits. And I'm not sure we should expect them to be, even if perhaps other owners don't operate the same. Clearly Twins ownership isn't just milking profit sharing to make money.
  22. USAFChief
    Does it? I'm not sure. Maybe.
  23. USAFChief
    I think it's naive to believe Twins ownership believes winning is more important than profits.

    Attendance has been pretty stable. Yr / Ave / MLB rank 2016 24,245 23rd 2017 25640 21st 2018 24489 20th 2019 28322 15th 2021 16377 19th 2022 22514 20th 2023 23038 18th Post pandemic attendance has been down across baseball, but the Twins relative position hasn't changed much. https://www.espn.com/mlb/attendance

    Again, not the point. But since you asked, Lopez is 3-5. Mid 4s ERA. Team is 8-8 in his starts. Lopez hasn't been any kind of real asset to date, and finding a similar starter last winter that didn't require trading the league batting champ wouldn't have been tough. He has provided innings, at least by 2023 standards, I'll give him that. It's ok to have been in favor of the trade and still recognize that to date, it looks awful. And he better get better, because the team invested a lot of money, and he's not only getting the money but he's going to be in the rotation because of it for a long time. Do you think anyone in Miami regrets this deal?
