strumdatjag Verified Member Posted April 5, 2023 Posted April 5, 2023 Now that MLB has successfully shortened games, you might think fans will be more likely to stick around for the 8th and 9th innings. But I predict - Many Twins fans will still flock to the exits early. It’s a Minnesota tradition. They will give the same excuses : Had to get the kids home to bed (creating another generation of leave-early fans. But wait - last year you left those longer games a half hour later for the same reason; Did MLB impose an earlier bedtime this year?), Had to beat the traffic (even on a sparsely attended weeknight game in April). I’m depressed, the Twins are losing, I can’t watch anymore, it’s those cheap Pohlads … (What??? Go check it out -Yogi said, it ain’t over till it’s over.) Oh No! Emilio Pagan is walking in from the bullpen (OK - I MIGHT give you that one - but he looked pretty good last night in Miami!). Consistently leaving early guarantees missing the most exciting walk-off win you will ever see live. It makes more sense to arrive late than to leave early. Watch innings 3-9 rather than 1-7.
