    Here’s the thing. You demand a sacrifice of some sort. There was a football player recently who kneeled during national anthems to raise awareness of this. And he suffered the consequences. He sacrificed his football career for this. Thoughts?

    Great post. That’s a lot of tear gas you have inhaled—a sacrifice of breathable, fresh air if there ever was one. Thanks for hanging with us on Twins Daily!

    Bad calls, but not as egregious as I was expecting. Much worse to me are pitches in the strike zone called balls.

    If Berríos is working on a fastball pitch or grip this year that isn’t getting results, then I expect he’ll eventually abandon it. His best pitch will always be that slider that looks like a fastball and breaks like a curve. I have zero concerns about Berrios pitching at a high level for many more years—and maybe even turning the corner from good to great at some point.

    Always liked him—welcome back!

    The “Dobnak in Game 2” strategy is finally working! He looked great last night.

    I’m not personally bothered by not knowing, but the sub-comments to that Tweet are brutal

    And educate, I think. Keep pounding away at telling people how the virus is primarily transmitted—inhaling and exhaling each other’s air. Every briefing, every player meeting.

    Thanks for putting your thoughts out there, mikelink45

    But only three of the runs were earned, because of the new rule!

    As do the rest of us. You are biting off more than you can chew. As stated in the original post, the goal of the Twins panel is to : “to introduce possible job applicants (students and current professionals) to a side of the team they may not know exists.” Please take your concerns to the blog section, the sports bar, or better yet, elsewhere. I have every reason to believe the Twins have their heart in the right place and are what is in their power to do right now to improve this situation.

    Good catch

    Ryan or Bob?

    Maybe the murder hornets can scare the alligators away?

    The Twins were smokin’ in the first half of 2001. That was coming off four 90-loss seasons and there was nothing flukey about it! 55-32 at the All Star break.

    Wow. Thanks for posting. So I guess people are complicated. Maybe the statue should have never been raised, but when would that have been, 2009 or 2010, a much different time. Where do you draw the line? Griffith? Puckett? Hrbek? Do we really just want a bunch of Joe Mauer statues and no one else’s? The Griffith statue was going to come down eventually, whether it was today, five years ago, or later next month when an asteroid collides with Earth and wipes out all life. It served its purpose and it’s time to move on. Tip my cap to the fan who led this drive. One person can make a difference. /rant Edit: No, no asteroid is coming to wipe out life on Earth. That I know of.

    I think even a 50 game season at something between 80% and 99% of their remaining salary (high end maybe imo) the players should take that. The players have plenty to lose here, I just think the owners have more to lose. Also correction from earlier: I think young players like Arraez and Garver, with little service time who didn’t get big signing bonuses but have shown they can stick in the big leagues, will be the most hurt. I would hope if the players accept less than their pro-rated salaries for the rest of the season that the richer players would take the cuts for the younger guys.

    I am calling it a worst-case scenario, not something I am confident will happen. But not completely unrealistic to me especially if the two sides remain obstinate and the general situation outside baseball keeps eroding. Olney is already floating the idea of free agents after 2020 (for example, Odorizzi, Cruz) holding out in 2021 until after the new CBA is agreed upon.
  22. Hosken Bombo Disco
    But thinking long term, with revenues that will not return to their previous levels and a CBA negotiation coming up, I think the worst case scenario for owners is that eventually players will retire or leave for international or independent leagues. The players hurt the most would be guys like Berríos and Buxton (my two faves) who have done well financially but lose the chance for large life-changing paydays, but owners will stand to lose much more if MLB becomes a shell of its former self.
  23. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Buster Olney suggests it was the players who offered back 20% from their highest salaried players back to the owners, but the owners leaked the offer to the media in a way to spin it negatively against the players. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/29241941/future-mlb-not-just-2020-season-stake If there is no season, players will be taking a 94% pay cut. However I think the owners have the most to lose long term if there is no season. MLB will for sure lose fans, just for starters.
  24. Hosken Bombo Disco
    Players are saying these things? Does this include all back pay for April and May? Link?

    My take on it, in one sentence, is that Max Kepler accidentally stepped in dog s*** and then did a bad job of cleaning it off his shoe before coming back into the house. Kepler should have looked to what Baldelli said as a better response. Kepler will probably be asked about it again at some point. This is going to be a long, long national conversation.
