    This should be a bigger story....
  2. KirbyDome89
    Scapegoats. Recently it was the training staff. This year it's the hitting coach....
  3. KirbyDome89
    If both cases are true, I don't understand why we'd assume those things aren't green lit from above. If Levine and Baldelli refuse to deviate from the path of destruction season after season, yet remain employed, I'd argue Falvey is just as guilty of doing the same thing that fails over and over again.
  4. KirbyDome89
    So Falvey continues to update/improve the system but it's Levine and Baldelli ******* up the implementation year after year, and now Falvey is forced to retain both? That feels like a massive stretch, and some serious cover for Falvey.

    That type of unwavering fandom is a unicorn. I don't think it's replicable; you either have it or you don't. The Twins need to win the swing vote so to speak. They need the casual fans to give a **** and show up on beautiful summer nights. I agree with you, winning by itself won't do that.
  6. KirbyDome89
    It's no doubt a feedback loop, but one side has much more sway in ending said loop. Interest won't organically tick upwards, fans won't start wandering back into TF just because. If you're failing (and the Twins are) to meet goals, the most logical direction to look would be inward. Why are the Brewers, in a smaller metro, with competing local professional clubs, and a smaller payroll, able to significantly outdraw the Twins? Are Wisconsinites just better "fans?"
  7. KirbyDome89
    Relative to the league it hasn't. Help me understand how crawling back into bed with Bally and subsequently blacking out essentially all local television coverage is the fault of fans? If a restaurant in your neighborhood operated under a poor service model, provided a mediocre at best experience along with mediocre food/drinks, and showed no interest in attempting to meet the needs/wants of local diners, would you hold yourself personally accountable when the establishment inevitably tanked?

    3 scoreless innings after imploding over the previous 5 innings out of the bullpen and he's a high leverage guy. Jfc.... Way too much of this fan base is delusional when it comes to Varland.
  9. KirbyDome89
    Those 2 arb years though....
  10. KirbyDome89
    That kind of unbridled homerism is embarrassing.
  11. KirbyDome89
    "Twins are 3 outs away from their best win of the year." Somebody needs to sedate Provus.....
  12. KirbyDome89
    LOLOLOL at Larnach getting a "hit," there. Unreal.
  13. KirbyDome89
    So much this. It's a disgusting game but I can't look away at this point. Literal slow motion train wreck offensively for both teams.
  14. KirbyDome89
    Boston is 1-14 with RISP and 17 Ks. Talk about rolling over. Just scratch out a 2nd run against a team that clearly is ready for this season to be over ffs....
  15. KirbyDome89
    No, I'm suggesting that opportunity cost doesn't equate to profit loss when the alternative route(s) also yield gains.
  16. KirbyDome89
    Concur, but if that enhanced annual return or liquidity provides opportunities that $$ locked into a long-term investment doesn't, the Pohlad's aren't really "losing," money by not investing elsewhere.
  17. KirbyDome89
    To start, healthy players have full range on defense. They can run the bases, and they're available to come into games. You're ignoring the tradeoff. What does the lineup look like when your CF and SS are on the bench and won't be substituted into a game? How does locking Margot or Farmer into playing time alleviate the 4A dilemma? Huh? Do you honestly believe both players are capable of playing full-time but simply aren't while this team is dangerously close to pissing away the final playoff spot?
  18. KirbyDome89
    In 6 career starts? I mean c'mon....
  19. KirbyDome89
    Go get Irvin (or any of the million versions of him available) in the offseason if the 2 arb years are so important. Justifying years of depressed pay for a poor performing 30 year old who was just jettisoned off the roster of another playoff contender is insanity. Unless Matthews is so injured he can't pitch over the next two weeks, there's no chance any of the young arms offer this club less of a chance to win games than Irvin.
  20. KirbyDome89
    A SP who gives up hard contact frequently and doesn't strike anybody out seems like a terrible fit with a team that is struggling defensively. One of the issues plaguing this club is short starts giving way to ample opportunity for bullpen implosions. I don't see how adding a Keuchel clone alleviates pressure on any front.
  21. KirbyDome89
    You can set whatever health percentage you want, but the tradeoff isn't nothing. You're giving up 2 roster spots the following game (or 1.5 games) that could be utilized by healthy players.
  22. KirbyDome89
    I really doubt we're labeling Lewis's recent struggles as "being worn down by the grind of a season," if it's late June and he has played 60ish games.
  23. KirbyDome89
    No clue, and I don't know where the Twins stand in the hierarchy. I don't really care and tbh it's irrelevant. The point of the originally quoted post was that fans have every right to be skeptical of the breadcrumbs they're given regarding injuries. That doesn't seem like an unreasonable opinion to hold.
  24. KirbyDome89
    It was painfully noticeable the other day. Lewis turned what should've been an easy error and subsequent runner on base into an easy out. The Rays SS bobbled the grounder, dropped it, picked it up, and threw to 1B and Lewis wasn't even in the picture. I get that the dude might not be 100% but there has to be a point where "protecting," somebody becomes self-defeating. If you can't sprint 90 feet I'd argue we might be there.

    "Financial constraints didn't play a role in our decisions at the deadline....." - Falvey Is he "lying," or are we not getting the whole truth?
