    We might see a market correction in the FA market given that half of the teams are dealing with this TV disaster. I wouldn’t want to be a free agent this winter. They could be waiting a long time for a deal like 2018.

    I’m still mad as well. I’ll go to a couple of live games because live baseball is still awesome. Beyond that I’m just a box score skimmer now. Soon enough that will get boring too.

    Yep. And if the Twins really believe they are contenders then I can see them riding it out with Kepler. In full disclosure I’m just scanning his b-ref page but I see a BAbip at a much higher rate (.319) vs anytime in his career (.255 career, previous high is last year at .288) and a lower hard hit % compared to last year. This might be the time to sell high.

    If he keeps this up, he might have more value as a trade deadline rental vs. the compensation he’ll receive from the qualifying offer.

    Also at the golf course. I’ll be lucky to finish 18 holes in 5 hours today

    My guess is Diego Castillo. 4+ years of MLB experience and the stat line in St. Paul is intriguing - 18 IP - 2.50 ERA - 22/6 K/BB

    All of the rain we’ve been getting has been so good for my garden! The weeds have been sprouting like crazy too. Yesterday I filled a wheelbarrow full of weeds from my plot. Romaine lettuce and radishes will be picked in the next couple of weeks!

    Looks like there’s a temporary boost since the meeting. My question is how many times can they go back to the well with players only meetings? Seems like they have to do it at least once per season since 2022.

    Old friend Lamonte Wade Jr currently leads MLB with a .484 OBP. The Giants record appears to be safe for now… 2004 Barry Bonds had a .609 OBP (!!)

    Complaining about “whiners” doesn’t add anything to the discussion either. Want to do something about it? Post an intelligent comment yourself.
  13. Vanimal46
    It’s been the same type of comments over the last 3 seasons. Same problems with an offense that’s not good enough. We have a gluttony of 26/27 year old players that aren’t taking the next step at the MLB level. It really feels like this team is stuck in perpetual mediocrity.
  14. Vanimal46
    Blaming umpires rings hollow when the Twins offense is this bad.
  15. Vanimal46
    I will add that to my list thanks!

    They don’t make classic comedy movies like this anymore and it’s a shame. I saw this in theaters at least 3 times as a teenager.
  17. Vanimal46
    I’m not sure what you’re talking about. I just took a casual picture after my shower this morning.
  18. Vanimal46
    Yeah it will but I believe this was the plan all along. Last year was the final push with Hunter and Kirk and it’s unfortunate how it played out. The Vikings are in good shape for 2025 with the 1st round pick and $80-100 million in cap space.
  19. Vanimal46
    2024 was always the planned transition year. All I hope is KOC and KAM don’t panic and throw in McCarthy before he’s ready. Protecting the 2025 1st is key because I think we will be picking top 10, maybe 5 overall. 5 wins is all I see.

    Interesting that this news came out today for the NFL. A new 3 year agreement with Netflix. So now there are 4 streaming services (Peacock, ESPN+, Amazon Prime, Netflix) broadcasting at least 1 NFL game in 2024. They all want at least a sliver of the pie and rake in a couple thousand extra subscribers who forget to cancel. The Roku/MLB partnership indicates the interest and demand from other platforms streaming baseball games… Before this thread began I didn’t know there was a Roku channel.
  21. Vanimal46
    It is until it’s no longer free. Apple TV games last year started out free then you had to subscribe.
  22. Vanimal46
    People at the very least had to sign up for the 7 day trial and remember to cancel it in time. NFL is not immune to complaints about fragmenting their content. People still refuse to get Amazon Prime for Thursday Night Football. Still, probably 75% of their total games are on OTA channels FOX, ABC (there were several weeks where both ESPN and ABC broadcast MNF at the same time), CBS, and NBC. I’m not sure about gophers bball I don’t follow them.
  23. Vanimal46
    You’re joking, right? There was a major uproar about a playoff game being shown exclusively on Peacock last year.
  24. Vanimal46
    Come on. You know there is a significant difference between a game on FOX, over the air TV, vs. an app.
  25. Vanimal46
    I’m right there with you on every point you made in your post. All of us could pirate the content. It’s easy to find in a Google search. As you said, it’s out of pure principle. At this point, I don’t want to support an organization that is shutting out a significant percentage of people from their content. I’m also not going to spend $80 a month to gain access to 1 channel. The choice is yours, MLB… I’m doing other things now instead of watching baseball. So will my 80 year old aunt that can’t load a webpage, let alone figuring out which streaming platform to click on to watch the Twins.
