    You are correct, he was.

    Seems like you could make formal black into sparkly, fringy black with some creativity!

    I saw GnR at Xcel Center and I couldn't make out many of the words either. They're drowning out Axel because he can't sing anymore.

    Just jump in with the Swifties and go with the flow, Squirrel! Be free and among the masses!

    Ha! Sounds like a good fill in activity! You're lucky. I was hoping to get out this weekend but I don't think I'll be able to.

    That seems like golfing weather to me!
  9. wsnydes
    Yes. Neither is in the lineup. 😁

    I think I'd rather Solano DH and Kirilloff playing 1B, but that's nit picking a bit. I like Lewis in the 2-hole quite a bit.

    I wasn't happy with the cable bundle at all, which is why I got away from DirecTV. I do alternate some of those apps to a degree, but I have other means of consuming Twins games that I've figured out over the last few years that at $20/month, I don't have enough of an incentive to change. I do have a pseudo a-la-carte set up at this point. I'm getting less overall content, but more of what I want and paying less on top of that. It may seem like it, but I'm not really complaining about the situation. I'm perfectly fine with consuming baseball the way I am now, so $20/month isn't a price point that I'm interested in. That's ultimately what I'm getting at. Your mileage may, and apparently does, vary. That's fine. I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything.

    I don't have a cable package to drop. I'm a true streaming household. I already get what I want, I just can't watch the Twins or Wild. So for me, it truly is another $20/month in order to watch just the Twins. I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. It's obviously what I choose to do. Your situation could be different. I'm just saying that I'm not willing to pay another $20/month to just watch Twins games. I got away from DTV to save money and if I keep adding apps, I'm right back where I started with largely the same content options.
  14. wsnydes
    This is my point. I have all of those too, so I'm right back where you started and still have to get one more thing that is $20/month more in order to watch the one thing I'm interested in. It's monthly fee and app fatigue. And what started as a means to save some cash turns into just a more complicated way of getting the same thing in the end.

    No, I agree with that to some extent. I think the NFL would have a greater likelihood of really blowing everything up, but I do think we're at a stage where things are about to change considerably and very quickly. I also think sports will be a driving force in that.

    Oh, I know that's an option for local channels. I use Hulu for far more than local channels though, so I'm still paying for that regardless. In this particular case, I have an issue with paying $20/month for essentially just Twins games since I have the other "perks" covered elsewhere anyway. It'd be more palatable if other local teams were included as well.
  17. wsnydes
    I haven't seen what the "eligible out of market games" actually includes though. I haven't seen that that isn't just games that are already televised nationally anyway. But that doesn't add a whole lot of value to me personally since I already have an MLB.tv subscription that covers all of that anyway.

    You're trading a cable and sports package for the ability to watch ONLY Twins games? I'm a Hulu subscriber and that's my TV, local and live channels and all. I'm not getting rid of that, so I'd be paying another $20/month on top of my Hulu subscription to watch only the Twins. That's a non-starter for me. Adding another channel to a cable package doesn't help me. At some point, the growing list of apps that are required to watch specific things you want watch has to hit a breaking point. When Hulu dropped FSN, my subscription price didn't go do. I'm still paying for it without the benefit of being able to watch the content. It's not even about the money. That isn't a problem. It's the fact that I got rid of DirecTV because it was really expensive for what I watched. If I have to keep adding apps at $20/month each, then I'm right back where I started. At least with the Bally's app, you got access to TWO teams games.

    Beautiful night for a ballgame!

    Welcome back, Jorge! Welcome back to the line Correa, Buxton and Lewis! Let's see if you can continue the momentum your teammates built up last night!

    Do you have a point to make? At least provide a productive comment. And I've already addressed this comment...

    Polanco reinstated, Julien sent down. https://www.mlb.com/press-release/press-release-twins-reinstate-polanco-option-julien
  24. wsnydes
    I was thinking he had an option left, but you do appear to be correct. Either way, there are other arms that can be sent down for a fresh arm in the bullpen and its still easier to do that than sending down a starter. I guess that I don't put Stewart that high up in the hierarchy given his streakiness. But you're certainly welcome too. But you're right, that's probably just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic when it comes to one other than Duran.

    Let's stay on the topic of the thread. Thank you very much! 🙂
