    He might not be the long-term answer but he's the most logical internal candidate for the rest of the season.

    Make some moves and shake it up. Out: Falvey, Rocco, Kepler, Castro, Pagan, J Lopez (IL) In: Levine, Toby G, Larnach, Wallner, Funderburk, Maeda
  3. howeda7
    Fire Falvey, Rocco and the hitting coach. See if Thad Levine, Toby Gardenhire, and a new hitting coach can light a fire in this lifeless group. If not, sell everyone that won't contribute in 2025. As for the roster, get Garlick and Kepler off this team and get Wallner and Julien up ASAP.

    Bad trade the day it was made. Worse trade now. Lopez is a commodity. A meh RH starting pitcher. Arreaz is not.
  5. howeda7
    It's not exactly a huge blow.
  6. howeda7
    He was terrible his last year in SD too. He had one good year in Tampa about 4 years ago. That's it. The guy is simply not good and there's no justification for him to remain on the roster.
  7. howeda7
    If he was still a minimum salary player, maybe you could justify bringing him back. Bringing back one of the worst relievers in the league for $4 million? That was never justifiable. Not non-tendering him was a joke, but they did it because their ego wouldn't let Falvey admit he made a horrible trade and move on.
  8. howeda7
    Fire the hitting coach. Demote Miranda. Get Julien and Farmer up ASAP. Invent an injury for Gallo. Do SOMETHING please.
  9. howeda7
    This. Lopez is fine and maybe on a trade value chart, it was a good trade. But Lopez isn't any different than Sonny Gray or Joe Ryan. A solid #2 starter. Arreaz is not nearly as easily replaced. And it shows.
  10. howeda7
    Chickens coming home to roost for Falvey. Arrogantly keeping Pagan and not adding anyone else to the bullpen. Trading the batting champion off an already weak offense. And Rocco continues to get out-managed on a regular basis.
  11. howeda7
    It's fair to say the Twins and Diamond/Bally's are not on speaking terms. Especially since they aren't paying.
  12. howeda7
    If you have Bally's via DirecTV or a cable provider, you can (I think) watch the games on the Bally's app. But it is not part of their separate streaming plan that you pay for. You have to log-in via your cable provider to watch the Twins.
  13. howeda7
    Polanco should lead off once he comes back. Until then, a platoon of Gordon/Farmer/Solano would be better than Kepler.
  14. howeda7
    How much say does Rocco even have? It feels like it's often decided at 2:00 that afternoon whether the starter will be allowed to face the order a 3rd time by Favley and his analytics gurus and Rocco does what he's told.
  15. howeda7
    This front office's irrational hubris in keeping Pagan continues to pay off. I get having one bullpen spot designated to be a revolving door, but there's no reason to keep Pagan AND Sands over Columbe.
  16. howeda7
    Victory Sports was 20 years ago and flopped. They don't own any stake in BSN and as far as I know, they never owned any stake in Fox Sports North. Certainly they could have manipulated things a tad on the radio side by giving their stations a cheap deal, but that's also been over for years, and radio rights are a drop in the bucket of overall revenue anyway.
  17. howeda7
    I'm not sure what depreciation or how much they draw in equity has to do with the accuracy of this estimate. Depreciation is a legitimate operating expense, as they did contribute more than $100 million towards the stadium and still pay rent for it on top of it.
  18. howeda7
    They are certainly offsetting profits in other businesses with losses on the Twins for tax purposes, but that doesn't mean that they WANT to lose $ on the Twins or are somehow better off overall financially for having done so. Some people believe this and they're simply wrong. Also, I find the idea that they lost that much fairly believable. The attendance was down substantially and their TV contract is pathetic relative to most other teams. They can afford $140 million payroll if they're drawing 30K/game. They can't if they're drawing 20K. That doesn't mean anyone needs to feel sorry for them. They're rich and they'll remain rich losing a bit of $$ on the Twins. But I think the "They're lying!" takes are way overblown. It's not like they put out a press release. It's a Forbes estimated, but it's probably pretty close.
  19. howeda7
    No need. We'll win a lot of 1-0 games on Joey Gallo HR's backed by this ace rotation.
  20. howeda7
    You won't. So we'll trade Royce Lewis and Jose Miranda for a #3 starter with two years of team control in a couple years. But we'll "win" that trade. Believe me.
  21. howeda7
    Since we're playing pick-a-stat, For April, Lopez had a 0.39 ERA. From May 1st to the end of the season, he had a 4.25 ERA. Dylan Bundy: April: 2.97 ERA. The rest of the season: 5.23. Chris Archer: April: 2.93 ERA. The rest of the season: 4.84.
  22. howeda7
    What's confusing? The rotation yesterday was Gray, Ryan, Mahle, Ober and Maeda. Today it's Gray, Ryan, Mahle, Lopez and either Ober or Meada. I get it was a general comment on the team, but bringing up Bundy or Archer in regards to this trade is irrelevant.
  23. howeda7
    That's true. But then it's an upgrade over Winder/Varland/SWR. Archer and Bundy are irrelevant. They're not here, and no other cheap crappy veteran was going to make the starts Lopez will now make. If he makes 30 starts, probably 20 of them are in place of Maeda or Ober with the rest Winder etc.
  24. howeda7
    What other contending team has done this recently?
  25. howeda7
    Lopez isn't directly replacing Archer or Bundy though. He's replacing either Maeda or Ober, which makes the upgrade pretty muted IMO.
