    They even set up a golf "course"! Nevermind the concerts and such.

    I've seen the Killers twice and Imagine Dragons around the same time as you. I'd agree that both put on a great show! For something like this, they're pretty good gets, in my opinion.

    Mod note...The discussion has gotten away from the main topic. Please redirect the discussion back to Mahle, his injury and it's impact on the club.

    I didn't say that Ryan missed significant time, I said that it took him quite a while to get back to his productive self after Covid. We don't have to agree on the cause, but the results certainly took some time to come back. I won't argue that the pipeline has panned out, because it hasn't so far. But I still can't agree that a team as injury riddled as it was is something that a team can prepare for. Just because three pitchers that we're cherry picking happened to pitch during that slide, that doesn't mean they pitched well or the team around them performed for them. Look at some of the lineups they were rolling out in August and September. Beyond this, we'll just have to agree to disagree. You're not going to convince me that injuries weren't a significant role in that slide. That's not their own doing.

    Ryan missed three weeks with Covid and took a long time to get back to his productive self. Gray was on the IL three times, including three weeks in May and then another two week stint at the end of the season. Bundy had only the one stint. And I agree on Romero, I threw him in there because he was on the active roster when he was hurt and he did get hurt. The depth they did have was pretty well decimated as well. They relied on youth, you'll get no argument otherwise from me. My theory on last year was that they didn't expect to contend the way they did. They found themselves to be both one of the most beat up teams in baseball and still in division contention despite it. My guess is that the Mahle trade doesn't happen if they weren't in contention at the time. But my point is that you can't have that many injuries throughout the roster and expect to compete. Not only on the pitching, but they offense as well. The slide can't be solely blamed on the pitching. That's a significant portion of this conversation and I don't see how that can be blamed on anyone.

    The injuries to the pitching staff started in April though and only got worse as the season wore on. I wouldn't say that's "almost entirely of their own making". Alcala, Gray, Romero, and Ober all went on the IL in April alone. Bundy, Paddack, Coulombe (twice), Winder and Ryan went on the IL in May.

    I'll have to see what sort of chaos awaits me in July, but I'll probably try to snag tickets for both days. Hopefully, I'll be able to use them. I've seen the two headlining acts before. The field seems to do pretty well for the most part with the precautions that they take, but I wonder what two full days of it will do.

    Interesting! Concerts at TF are awesome, so I'm curious how this will go. Good luck to the grounds crew for getting the field back into playable shape though!

    I'm not bothered by the runs because if Pagan is going to be on the roster, that's when I want him pitching. Season is still young. Teams are still figuring out what they have. We'll see what they start doing to adjust.

    Your punishment for jinxing the Rays is a two game suspension from @Squirrels future Target Field viewing pad. All tickets purchased will be void.
  12. wsnydes
    That's okay. The Twins can help them start a new one!
  13. wsnydes
    This team is so much more interesting when it's scoring runs. Not entirely bothered by the late Royals runs. Don't like them of course, but the name of the game at that point is to get back into the clubhouse and on to the next series.
  14. wsnydes
    If I didn't live in the Cities, I'd definitely be at least one of those games too! 🤣
  15. wsnydes
    That's for 162 tickets, right?
  16. wsnydes
    I guess the new CBA was designed for parody, not parity?
  17. wsnydes
    Sure, just as long as @Squirrelgives me a discount. I'll buy extra "tickets" and sell them for more than I paid, but less than you would pay directly.
  18. wsnydes
    I don't know what everyone was so worried about!
  19. wsnydes
    Are there Community Leader discounts available?
  20. wsnydes
    Has Buxton's HR landed yet?
  21. wsnydes
    Mahle will miss his next start, possibly more with an elbow injury. Severity yet to be determined as they run tests. https://www.mlb.com/news/tyler-mahle-set-to-be-shut-down-miss-next-start?partnerID=mlbapp-iOS_article-share

    That would be at street level
  23. wsnydes
    Mixed use tower, if I recall correctly.
  24. wsnydes
    Not a beautiful day for that either! Though, I'd still tee it up anyway...
  25. wsnydes
    Beautiful day for something. But that something ain't baseball!
