    If they get swept by Cleveland should Rocco be fired? 4 hits total so far in 13 innings today.

    I thought it was some type of insurance. But do not have any idea how much the recoup if anything.

    Question: Do owners get money back when a player goes on the IL?
  4. MABB1959
    I would say no. It will depend on other offers but he may want to get off this team bad enough to settle for a little less. He most likely has enough money to last him for a lifetime.

    Kind of hilarious that they were careful with so many players. I assume it was so they would be at their best for post season. Especially pitchers getting pulled when they were on their way to pitching a gem. Well that logic didn’t work out very well. IMO many of the strains and aches and pains could be avoided if they had a better conditioning program. Proper stretching and warming up is very important. IMO gymnastics is much harder on knees/joints and muscles than baseball. Mine practice 4 days a week 5 hours at a time. Much of the time is spent with proper conditioning and warmups. Pitchers are certainly different than fielders. Fielders make 3-4 plays and hit 3-4 times. To me that doesn’t seem like it would take such a toll. Running the bases should not cause the injuries it does. Just seems odd that a sport like baseball can be that hard physically.

    Same thing year after year. The only way not to get frustrated is to come to terms that this team probably will never turn it around. They can’t or won’t get an Ace or even #2 quality pitcher. My guess is no pitcher in the prime of his career would not to waste it with the Twins. When we do get quality players they let them go for little to nothing. I am 100% sure Berrios did not want to stay. He has bigger goals. Probably 3-4 others that got out or want out. Instead they ALWAYS are looking for the cheaper players hoping for resurgence in their career. These players either get worse or can’t stay healthy.

    Maybe the scouting personnel needs to change? How did they NOT see the Mahle injury and what gave them the idea he would be able to play this season. I think an upgrade to the medical staff should be looked at as well.

    So happy, Blue Jays was the free MLB game of the day. Got to see one of my all time favorite pitchers and a real MLB team. Sad that we can only dream of a team like the Blue Jays.

    wouldn't payroll be a part Operating Costs?
  10. MABB1959
    Got it here. Looks like it is total revenue but I could be way off. • Minnesota Twins revenue 2021 | Statista

    I would disagree. We have one player in the top 100 salary wise. Correa at #7 and then all the way down to #105 overall and 35th counting just pitchers with Sonny Gray. I really think they need to pay for a top starter 1-2 and a top DH. Hopefully Correa will be here next year but if not they better make a big signing. I don't understand why MN is considered mid or small market. We have one team and fans most likely from 3-4 states. If they fielded a top team their ticket sales would increase. The other issue is most people not being able to watch them on TV. They receive 268,000,000 in TV Revenue why not spend most of that on payroll? Doesn't matter anyway they are not going to change.
  12. MABB1959
    Not going to change and never will until we get owners who are willing to invest in a WS team.
  13. MABB1959
    Sadly I don’t think things will ever change as long as the Pohlad’s own the team. They may throw us a bone every now (Falvey/Levine, Correa) and then but things don’t really change. The team is not their top priority and I think that is the main reason we will never get big name players to sign here and we need more than one or two. Letting Berrios go was a big sign. He is better than what we have and didn’t trade up either.
  14. MABB1959
    It is not a team. It is a mix match of players. I could be wrong but their is not a true closer or DH. Correa, Buxton and Polanco seem to be the only players in their “true” position. The rest seem to be randomly thrown into different positions. IMO total failure in building a roster.
  15. MABB1959
    Are they even good at assessing talent would be my question.
  16. MABB1959
    Is Sanchez a bust too?
  17. MABB1959
    I never said anything about it being even but the point was more of the medical/training staff. We should have traded or paid for a better starter. Just my opinon!
  18. MABB1959
    Maeda is another disappointment. While I don’t think they gave up much but got pretty much nothing. 32 games since 2019.
  19. MABB1959
    Rock bottom. Hope this causes them all to think about what they can/should be doing to play better. Total embarrassment!
  20. MABB1959
    At least the Twins have a chance to be part of history this year.
  21. MABB1959
    How many huge mistakes before something is done with the FO. Many of would have lost our jobs long ago with this many fatal errors. They knew Mahle’s injuries, right?
  22. MABB1959
    Mahle another bust? Serves us right for getting excited. Zero faith left with front office. Who did we lose for him?
  23. MABB1959
    He is having a down year but would still be better than what we got. His ERA is high but he gets further into a game than any of our pitchers. I would WAY rather have him than what we got.
  24. MABB1959
    Is Austin one of the great prospects we got for Berrios? How is the other one doing?
  25. MABB1959
    LOL..headline a little misleading. Makes it sound like they are WS bound!
