    Pretty sure La Velle E Neal got exiled to Ely for asking if the Twins had any intention of re-signing Carlos Correa.

    Those cities are way bigger. Then Minnesota is the next bigger.

    That sounded facetious, but I think there's something to that. Aside from the owner though, the fans and even more so the media are ruthless on the owners, front office and players in those markets while ours largely gets a pass to adhere to the Minnesota Nice atmosphere. While we don't advocate for it here at Twins Daily, torches and pitchforks are likely quite motivating.

    I was stoked to watch the Vikings beat the Bills in Buffalo. But now I feel dirty knowing is was due to playing the smaller market.
  5. nicksaviking
    The players aren't from Minnesota though, so it's got to be an external force that creates the disparity. Even when the Minnesota squad actually has the better team, they still have problems.

    It's not like the Twins players are from Owatana and Mets players are from Brooklyn. I've long thought it was the local Midwest fly over country attitude of 'aw shucks, we're just happy to be here' that loses out to the cut throat, 'we're going to murder your dog if you don't win' pressure the big market teams face.

    Plenty of guys in the SEC couldn't translate that to the majors. With no power, Martin always had a razor thin margin of error.

    I heard Bally was awarded the playoff games so most of us won't have to worry about seeing it this year.
  9. nicksaviking
    Alas, I think KC and Cleveland are both posers, so there's a reasonable chance you'll be seeing that playoff game. Or did you mean Dobnak specifically? Yeah, that would make it worse.
  10. nicksaviking
    Probably what the Mets are saying too......
  11. nicksaviking
    Obviously not, my suggestion was quite the opposite. If the reliever had been Chafin instead of Richards they didn't do enough. But as expected. A D- deadline day grade isn't more satisfactory than an F deadline day grade. Without increasing the payroll, they had no shot at doing enough.
  12. nicksaviking
    Sure, but unless they got another front line starter or middle of the order bat, he could watch the other team celebrate after sweeping the Twins in the first round with the other seven. No way the community here would be in good spirits if he was the sole prize this afternoon. It's easy to rank guys like Richards or Chafin or Lorenzen but they're all still just varying degrees of 'you didn't do enough to win'.
  13. nicksaviking
    How about last years budget to start? As to the roster, put one on the field that can win it all. The end.
  14. nicksaviking
    How to answer that? …. First part, no, not Dobnak. Second part, can we switch it to November?
  15. nicksaviking
    Andrew Chafin is the missing piece to win a World Series?
  16. nicksaviking
    Chief. Always the optimist!
  17. nicksaviking
    I know, I was being snarky until I realized he was injured, not unemployed.
  18. nicksaviking
    Was there actual top end talent that got moved that didn’t come with a price tag Joe Pohlad wouldn't have ran screaming from? I can’t imagine there was.
  19. nicksaviking
    It won't fix anything, but it sure would be nice for him to get the tough questions that he created instead of making Falvey and Baldelli deal with something they had no control over.
  20. nicksaviking
    Jay Harry is definitely a better fit up north in Toronto. He sounds like a character out of Strange Brew.
  21. nicksaviking
    I never liked the Staumont signing. I liked the strikeout potential, but his sketchy command never seemed like a good fit. At least Trevor Richards BB% is .......... hmmmmmmmm.
  22. nicksaviking
    Wait a second, so he's taking Matt Wallner's role?!?!?
  23. nicksaviking
    Not sure how many of them were decent and I'm not sure the prices were very reasonable either. This was clearly a seller's market. The Twins made their beds last winter. They had their reckoning from the fans then, but I'm not going to shed a tear for them if the fans want to pile on again now.
  24. nicksaviking
    Dang, sniped, but mine was a GIF.
