    It's going to end up something like this: Direct Streaming subscriptions: $5 million Ads: $5 million DirecTV $0.50/subscriber/month (vs the $5 or so they pay Bally): $2.5 million Comcast: $2.5 million Other Cable: $2 million Local OTA for Sunday games: $2 million Total: $19 million. Still a big drop from $40 million but not 90%.
  2. howeda7
    Yes. They can't go exclusively streaming. The average MLB fan is like 50-something and won't be down for that. They need to have at least some availability on cable/satellite (DirecTV etc. will still give you some of the $$ they were paying Bally's just not nearly as much) and streaming and at least one game per week on a local OTA station.

    He's a free agent on a team with payroll restraints and several younger, cheaper, better options to play corner OF. There is virtually zero chance he's back next year. It's not some coin flip.
  4. howeda7
    There are multiple issues, but this is definitely one of them. This team quit on him. It's time for a change.
  5. howeda7
    I didn't think he was in danger, but I now think it's 50/50 that Rocco is fired. This team has 100% quit on him and his continued instance on things like playing Manny Margot make it a deserved firing, even if Falvey deserves a bigger slice of blame for the mess.
  6. howeda7
    Why did they open the series with a day game?
  7. howeda7
    Good lord no. Paddack wasn't good when healthy so we're going to run him out there with 3 months of rust? Festa would have to start game 1 if they stay on the current rotation. It likely doesn't matter.
  8. howeda7
    I don't think this team capable of better than 3-3 and that will almost certainly not be good enough. The line-up is cooked. It's over.
  9. howeda7
    Even though Falvey will bring another analytics robot, Rocco needs to go. He's totally lost the team. As bad as the bullpen is, the offense is worse. Painful to watch. It's hard to even want them to limp into the play-offs. This season just needs to come to a merciful end. The wish list for this team is new owners, a new GM and new manager. But I'll take two out of 3 and be OK with one out of 3.
  10. howeda7
    This is on ownership but also on Falvey. His inaction at the trade deadline was inexcusable and it was not about $$. It was about refusing to part with prospects.
  11. howeda7
    If they actually want to cut payroll, they will have to trade Lopez.
  12. howeda7
    I don't believe managers generally make a huge difference in season win totals, but Gardy in his prime would have this team getting ready to clinch a play-off spot already.
  13. howeda7
    Technically we have the tiebreaker so we're still the # WC. Until tomorrow's loss.
  14. howeda7
    That shouldn't matter. No one manages/coaches out the last year of their contract.
  15. howeda7
    Fire Falvey. Fire Rocco. Sell to Mark Cuban. I'll settle for 2 out of 3.
  16. howeda7
    Thielbar in. Rocco concedes. Falvey conceded in July. All should be gone 10/1.
  17. howeda7
    Game over.
  18. howeda7
    Another game where we have led or tied most of the game but it feels like we have zero chance to win.
  19. howeda7
    The bullpen is on Falvey not ownership. Lack of balls to trade actual prospects for help is what led to this. Not $$.
  20. howeda7
    Season over.
  21. howeda7
    Not really. It's not unreasonable that at least one of Detroit or Seattle will go say 8-4. That would mean all the Twins have to do is go 6-6 or worse.
  22. howeda7
    Given the payroll restraints, no. He will cost $8-10 million and likely decline in performance. His defense has been even better than expected though.
  23. howeda7
    The national media doesn't give a $%% whether the Twins make the play-offs or not. No one outside of Minnesota and the fans of the teams chasing them care.
  24. howeda7
    I almost don't want them to make the play-offs. They don't deserve it, likely won't win a game, and this organization deserves to lie in the bed it made and take a hard look at itself.
  25. howeda7
    If there's such a thing as a must win game when up by 3 games, this is it. If they lose this one, stick a fork in them, they're done.
