The Twins who have lost 5 straight and got swept by the Royals?
I'm not confident in that at all. So many underachievers to date. Coaches and players.
Must be because I've been a Twins fan for so long.

Cleveland and Chicago are having fire sales.

Yes I saw that. It's still IMO going to take an above .500 record. Can we count on that?

Twins suck. I switched from Direct TV to Dish to save $60 a month for 3 years and get a 500$ gift card. Downside/Upside is Bally's isn't included. I guess I'm done watching this shit show of a baseball team for a while. We'll see if they do something to get me to subscribe to their streaming platform for $20 a month. It will probably take a strong start by the Wild or Wolves to get me to pony up. I'm so frustrated with pro sports and athletes and tired of paying through the nose to watch them disappoint me year after year.

Yes, I think they are absolutely capable of. 500 or better in this pathetic division. In fact I don't even it will even think it will take. 500 to win the Central now that Cleveland traded Civale. Look at it another way; if the current roster is incapable of .500 in this division, what's the point in making a trade?

Yes. That isn’t statement on the greatness of the Twins. It’s a statement of how epically bad the rest of the division is that hovering around .500 will still get you a division title.

The streaming platform does not include Twins.

I have it. Bally’s stand-alone streaming service. Got it last fall when I realized I could switch to YouTube TV with separate Bally’s streaming and still be cheaper than Direct TV.

That worked fine for Wolves and Wild, but what I didn’t know was, Bally does not include Twins for standalone streaming. You still need a Direct TV subscription.

And the kicker? I paid for a full year instead of monthly, to save a couple of bucks a month. So I’ve been stuck with a Twinless Bally subscription all summer.

It is almost like Bally's wanted to fail; similar to the Twins at times.

To keep the fans that are left interested. To show Pohlad is doing something and our current coaches are just fine.

Despite that, Cleveland will hang with us the rest of the way because this team can't put the others away. Just when we start getting a nice lead in the division, they start to suck again. So inconsistant. Further, teams like the Rangers, Rays etc are going out of their way to get better for the stretch run. come playoffs we'll be the same shitty 500 team that would have finished last in the East.


We wont go anywhere in the postseason, so why not trade Gray, Maeda, Kepler, Polanco and build for the next few years instead of clinging to the pipedream of a postseason run?

Thanks, they make it look like you'd get them, but if you look deeper they tell you they aren't included. Strange. Oh well, more time for golf or the boat I guess.

Well damn, Dish won't work here. Trees are too tall in the direction they need to aim. Stuck with Direct TV for a bit longer at least.

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Detroit Tigers had a trade in place for left-handed starter Eduardo Rodriguez, but Rodriguez invoked his 10-team no-trade clause that included the Dodgers and the deal is now dead, sources tell ESPN.



Phil Riewer -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (8/1/2023 4:21:25 PM)

Main reason you trade for Big Leaguers with prospects:

Prospects traded from 2013-22 for Big Leaguers: 573

Prospects that became impact players: 17
3%

Prospects that became contributors or impact players: 62
10.8%

29% never play in the Big Leagues.

Cue the

None at the deadline.

Welcome to Loserville.



TJSweens -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (8/1/2023 5:39:58 PM)

What's the point? It's not like there was a trade out there that was going to make them a contender. They just need too much and they don't have the trade capital to get it. Poorly owned. Poorly run. Poorly coached.



Karl Juhnke -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (8/1/2023 6:42:56 PM)

I mean they did upgrade the bullpen a few days ago. Does that not count because it wasn’t on cutoff day?



Brad H -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (8/1/2023 7:37:11 PM)

Joey Gallo makes how much?



Karl Juhnke -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (8/1/2023 8:06:37 PM)

I’m going to use my Minnesota nice here.

Polanco’s ability at 3rd base is…different.



Karl Juhnke -> RE: Twins 2023 Season and Game Day Thread (8/1/2023 8:09:36 PM)

Polanco. Our newest man without a position. DH him and either put Buxton back in the field or release him.
