    You’re describing last year’s NL representative Arizona Diamondbacks. So yes, the scenario works. With the expanded playoffs, 3 game wild card series and 5 game division series, the format is more of a coin flip than ever before.
  2. Vanimal46
    The reality is the next time the Twins win a World Series it will be by sheer luck. Just like 1987 and 1991. The Pohlads didn’t capitalize when the team was on a MLB record setting HR pace in 2019. The entire decade of the 2000s. Doesn’t matter if the moon aligns with Saturn and Jupiter. That’s just how they roll as owners.

    Not too hard of a choice for Randy. Take a 70% pay cut or play in St Paul for $3 million?
  4. Vanimal46
    Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. Sports fans beg for the truth. Then when we get the truth, and it’s something we don’t like, then we say they shouldn’t have said anything. If they said nothing, then we would say why are the Pohlads hiding from accountability?
  5. Vanimal46
    Did I miss a memo that as of yesterday the team no longer wants to win?
  6. Vanimal46
    I was pointing out what’s likely to happen. He’s going to be DFA’d again in due time, pass waivers, and end up in St Paul. We will be the ones to pay the $1 million buy out
  7. Vanimal46
    1. Yes. He was DFA’d before and they will do it again when the opportunity presents itself. 2. Probably. If anyone wants to claim him and take on his guaranteed money, God bless them. 3. If he clears waivers, he’ll go back to St. Paul. I have no problem giving him a spot start. We have played worse pitchers in recent years. Festa is establishing himself and I’m continuing to give him chances over Dobnak.

    There were zero top 100 prospects traded this year. Nor were there any all star level players traded. This deadline reminds me of my long time running fantasy football league. We still remember the time we were fleeced in a trade in 2015, and too afraid to be the loser in a deal so nothing happens.
  9. Vanimal46
    I appreciate the attempt to find a positive from the nothing burger trade. If we get 15 decent innings out of him I’ll be surprised.
  10. Vanimal46
    Valuation numbers don’t really mean anything unless they’re selling today. Cash flow is king in any business, and clearly we are strapped on cash flow. Look at the other businesses the Pohlads are involved in. Heavily invested in commercial real estate which is going in the tank.
  11. Vanimal46
    I hope that’s the direction they go. Form a new channel called Minnesota Sports Network or whatever. Then offer it as a standalone app for $300 a year, and negotiate deals with all of the streaming services like YouTube TV, Hulu, DirecTV, Comcast, etc. Make it ridiculously easy to get their content no matter what provider you have.
  12. Vanimal46
    For this region it does make sense to bundle all of the sports teams together under one network. I can’t imagine people will be happy about paying for a stand alone Twins app, stand alone Wild app, etc etc. Just give us as many options as possible to watch them.
  13. Vanimal46
    All good with me. Write that down!
  14. Vanimal46
    That goes to show the health of the organization right now. We're far from Randy Dobnak starting game 2 of the playoffs against the NYY at this point in time.
  15. Vanimal46
    Happy to bet with you that the Twins make the playoffs and you take the other side if you are interested.
  16. Vanimal46
    I'm not sad missing out on Kikuchi or Fedde, I don't think either one would have topped Lopez, Ryan, or Ober in a wild card series.
  17. Vanimal46
    You can call Dan Cole the Common Man from KFAN to purchase the astro turf where Randall Cunningham took a knee to get to OT in the 1998 NFC Championship game.
  18. Vanimal46
    You can contribute to the trade deadline GoFundMe to make your wish come true!
  19. Vanimal46
    Sorry, didn't know you quoted me twice. That's on me. I agree, make some call ups and minor trades to improve the margins.
  20. Vanimal46
    Dan Gladden has been on this earth for 67 years and hasn't accomplished this feat.
  21. Vanimal46
    You changed your post entirely since I last quoted it. Sure. We can upgrade Thielbar.
  22. Vanimal46
    They have an 80 something percent chance today on FanGraphs. I’ll take that bet if you’re taking them missing the playoffs.
  23. Vanimal46
    Deal. Write that down! For the Skor North podcast listeners. If they crawl back to them once again, MLB is in big trouble.
  24. Vanimal46
    Breaking news: there ain’t $hit available this trade deadline.
  25. Vanimal46
    What? This gets the Twins through the regular season then they will hopefully figure out to tell Bally Sports to pound sand next season.
