  1. Yeah ... I would love to see that and think that the between inning time is one of the biggest time wasters. But ... ad dollars ... Even so, I think the pitch clock is also a good thing.
  2. Will he start the year in AA or AAA? I guess it could depend on the end of the lockout. Do you see him getting a start in the bigs at the end of this season? I like this kid and really hope he has an outstanding career
  3. They Key West Express … I’ve never taken it but know others who have
  4. Koreshan State Park is interesting, the historic settlement. Kayaking from just about anywhere is fun, as long as it’s not overly windy. Sanibal Thriller, or something similar, for dolphin fun. Check out downtown Fort Myers for its shops and eateries. Lakes Park with kids is fun … the water area, train, and/or get a surrey bike and ride the easy trails And if going to Sun Harvest for ice cream … the key lime-chocolate twist is the only flavor to get. Or if it’s ice cream you want … Love Boat Take a boat cruise to Key West
  5. This would be the best thing ever, however, the owners wouldn’t do that, of course. Rosenthal is a very knowledgeable baseball person and not a union busting lawyer who doesn’t care about the sport
  6. Well, and as we have learned … they weren’t close but were posturing, so of course they aren’t lifting the lockout
  7. They could. That would really be a good faith move if they did. Since I’m in Fort Myers now, I wish they would.
  8. Yep. The time to have traded him was 2019. We won’t get much for him and he would have to go in a package if we want a good return
  9. So in other words, you don’t think the Twins should ever go big on a FA or trade? ?
  10. On my way! ?⚾️?☀️?
  11. My Mom and I drove around there a couple years ago. It used to be a really huge ranch, actual ranch, and now they have developed it into its own planned community with different neighborhoods. It's definitely worth a look around.
  12. I'm not sure the specifics, but as Seth said above they start around 9:30. I think if you got there around then you can wander around. Not sure if they will be playing any actual games yet, but usually someone who is around knows. And welcome to TD
  13. I'll be heading down soon ... will try to get to the ballpark at some point, but have several tennis games lined up that take precedence
  14. The lockout won’t affect the minor league season except that anyone on the 40-man won’t be able to participate, so some of our top prospects won’t be playing. But everyone else should be
  15. Miranda himself said he prefers playing 2nd
  16. @TwinsDr2021 and @Mike Sixel, this is a discussion about Miranda, not a general discussion about the team’s spending. Relate it directly to Miranda and how you hope he fits into the team’s plans or start your own thread about spending.
  17. I guess I should ask … the grounds are fully open this year, yes? Hopefully they are not charging for parking to wander and check out the minor leaguers? And what time do they usually get started?
  18. Looking forward to checking things out when I’m there visiting my Mom
  19. I have no issues and I’m watching on my iPad.
  20. Please don't get into the 'Rich vs Super Rich' fruitless discussions. This thread is about Royce Lewis. Yes, the lockout will affect him, as the past 2 seasons have also not been kind to him. But keep this to Royce and leave the generalized discussion for another thread.
  21. I guess I didn't make my point very clear, either ... I guess when there is a situation where one side is truly in the wrong, causing harm to the other side and to the whole of the product, I'm willing and do continue to support the aggrieved party, I am still willing to spend my time and money because there is a clear side to support and to believe in. In the MLB situation, both sides, as I said, need to get over themselves. That's why I don't find it a comparable situation, for me. In one situation, not easy for me to just abandon them, in the other, eh, I will spend no time and money on it if the two sides can't find a way to get over themselves. If the MLB situation was truly a one-sided affair, wouldn't you find it easier to support one over the other, and care about the outcome, and still want to do what you could to support that side? That's me. I cared about the players and the outcome in one situation, I care far less about the outcome in the other.
  22. I don’t disagree that people will find other things to occupy their time, but these two situations are not comparable other than in both situations the players were/are locked out. If you refuse to support the orchestra after the nefarious activities of the board, that tells me a lot about you in how much you didn’t understand the situation or didn’t care. In this case with the MLB, eh, both sides here need to get over themselves. I will happily continue to support the orchestra and did during their lockout because that was completely about an awful entity causing harm, it was a one-sided wrong doing. This situation is on both, it’s a two-sided affair causing harm to their product and harm to their fan base.
  23. If this was the dispute from 9-10 yrs ago, they weren't on strike, they were locked out. Big difference. But if you don't renew your season tickets to the Twins, maybe you should go back to the orchestra
