I was at the game too. When a team like the Dodgers is in town they really need to open the gates more than one hour before first pitch. I don’t think they are used to having enough fans for it to matter. The strike of concession workers didn’t help either.
That’s the one exception recently and I guess the Nationals too. It can happen, but it’s rare.
I really like what the owners proposed the other day with a 170M floor and a 243M cap. And better revenue sharing among all teams. That floor would be the Twins highest payroll ever. However, with...
Some teams can compete without a salary cap, the Rays, As, Brewers,Guardians. But what they conveniently forget to mention is that none of those teams have won a World Series since the steroid bash brothers.
I’m old, but sports were way better when opponents hated each other. These made for TV events are terrible. They don’t care if they win or lose because they are making so much money. And I am to blame for actually watching.
The Brewers seem to own the Twins of late. They are just better at every aspect of the game. Although I say the same thing about the Guardians, who the Twins just took 2 of 3. But without Buxton and Larnach the Twins won’t be able to score any runs. Hopefully they are back tomorrow.
The defense was just as bad all weekend, and they might have the worst fielding team in all of baseball. I’m afraid they are going to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory many times this year.
This is 5 times since 2014 if you count the pros. Niang 2014, Gilbert 2025, JJeff 2026, Purdy NFC championship game, Halliburton game 7 NBA finals. It does seem like we are cursed.
