    This is not as exciting for viewing as the Twins now miss my favorite NL West. I was really looking forward to seeing the Dodgers at Target Field this season. Obviously, the new schedule is better for the Twins odds of being successful and making the playoffs.

    Just read the comments from casual fans over on the Strib. Lots of "I'm gonna watch town ball", "Who cares, I'm into gardening now", "I'm not gonna watch because I'm mad at the owners/players/ugly negotiations, etc.", "I'm not watching because I'm too concerned about world events and tired of rich owners and players" comments over there.

    I guess if you would have told me a few years ago that Chargois and Busenitz were going to be part of the backbone of a solid bullpen for the 2020 Minnesota Twins then I wouldn't have been too surprised or upset. It might be fun to catch a Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles game and see if we could catch one of them, or both, in action.

    The only thing I can add is Steve Bedrosian, 1991 World Series champion with our Twins. His son Cam is now a pitcher for the Angels.

    I just don't know how to feel about such a short season. I see a lot of football fans crowing that the baseball season is too long. The beauty of the baseball season is the 162 game grind (which gets cheapened every time they expand the # of teams in the playoffs). I suppose there will be a loud faction of (non-purist) casual baseball fans yelling to shorten the season in the future if a 60 game 2020 season happens with positive reviews. I am just going to take what I can get as far as games in 2020 and enjoy it.

    I want to cheer for the Minnesota Twins. Maybe we will get there soon.

    Oddly enough, the 2020 draft picks seem to fit nicely with the rest of the Twins minor league organization. At first blush, it seemed too many bats and not enough arms.

    Can I have State Troopers stand there and do nothing while the statue is toppled?
  9. theBOMisthebomb
    Yes, I had blocked all those walk off losses from the memory bank.
  10. theBOMisthebomb
    Yes, a 50 game season is better than nothing. That being said, 50 games reminds me of a weekend slow pitch beer bash softball tournament. Let's just play ball, at this point I would take a single elimination tournament that could be completed in 5 days.

    In Falvine We Trust. This type of scenario was supposed to be where the geniuses would shine so I am trusting they will make lemonade out of lemons.

    It was a sneaky enjoyable season. Watching Dozier was a great experience and seeing the prospects finally start to make noise in the bigs was gratifying. 2016 provided hope for the future.
  13. theBOMisthebomb
    It will be catastrophic for both owners and players if they don't have a 2020 season. I feel the long term health of the MLB is at risk.
  14. theBOMisthebomb
    Well played, well played. I could see the Arraez and Buxton things if some weird things really happened. Sano, 0%.
  15. theBOMisthebomb
    Fun season, it sure felt great to get away from the end of the Gardy era doldrums.
  16. theBOMisthebomb
    It's been a real eye opener to me as to the value of the fans in live attendance. I'd been under the false assumption for years that MLB could operate profitably without fans in the stands. The competitive balance issue is troubling to me as well. It is baffling why they can't have some semblance of sanity on this issue of the haves and have nots financially.

    MVP - La Tortuga As you said, let's have some fun with the SSS.
  18. theBOMisthebomb
    I couldn't agree more. Hopefully, this is all just posturing and they cut a reasonable deal soon. It's all about greed and baseball is dancing close to a major PR disaster. I remember 1994 and how many friends and family that were casual fans said forget MLB. If they don't play a 2019 the negative reactions will dwarf what happened in 1994.
  19. theBOMisthebomb
    That hurt.
  20. theBOMisthebomb
    I didn't realize this season was the swan song for so many Twins. This was such an ugly period of sustained Twins losing. The losing of the 90s didn't seem to sting so much, maybe because the memory of 1991 was recent.
  21. theBOMisthebomb
    No. That is not it at all. You have the right to that opinion. I don't agree as I can remember the 1970s and how society still treated people then. The offensive language still used and accepted, and the unfair treatment. Things have gotten better for minorities, disabled, special needs, LGTBQ, etc. in the last 55 years. I disagree with your attack on white people. I firmly believe you would consider my family and me part of "White America" that you feel is preventing change when nothing could be further from the truth. I want to thank TFRazor for the post which does a great job of making points I agree with on what has really changed in 55 years and "subconscious racism".

    This was over the line and offensive. I have been telling myself for 24 hours not to respond to this thread. For my own reasons. I have been reading, trying to respect and understand the various perspectives expressed. I cannot do the same for these words.
  23. theBOMisthebomb
    Yes, just a terrible season from the get-go. My only lasting memory is thinking that Gardy should get fired after the September collapse. Little did I know how wrong I'd be.
  24. theBOMisthebomb
    I just remember how darn difficult and expensive it seemed to get tickets in 2010. I remember walking into the Twins pro shop in Apple Valley and it was packed with people (10 years before social distancing, a scene like that seems so odd now). Finally getting my chance to buy some tickets, I simply spent my entire budget that day because demand was so crazy. Fun season,Tarvet Field turned out to be worth it. I went to 2 or 3 games that April and just remember the thrill of outdoor baseball and the buzz of the excited Twins fans.

    Jeepers, $400 per week is $10 per hour. Even after all that has happened, the owners should pay this for Pete's sake. The business of baseball is broken, as it always has been.
