And the Twins TV ratings have been really solid this decade. top 10 in baseball. maybe even top 5 some years.

I’d really like to see someone break down how exactly a regional sports network recoups $80M a year.

What the Angels need more than anything is players who can get on base.

Perhaps its prudent to wait and see how well he’s moving around before pronouncing him your 3B.

Anyway, it seems that Moreno’s geographical re-identification plan is paying dividends. BUT, I’m wondering why the billionaire is electing to re-up with Fox Sports and not starting his own RSN.

I am also curious to know why the Commissioner seems to believe that the Dodgers should have their own RSN yet the same standard apparently doesn’t apply to the other L.A. team.

One more starting pitcher and stock the bullpen. Once Kendrys Morales, who can play third,comes back they’ll have plenty of offense.

Sometimes, you have to point the finger at yourself.
