Off topic: it frosts my hide that the billionaire owners WANT volunteers to run the food outlets, volunteers to be security and ticket takers etc.  They can afford to pay wages to sell their very overpriced food and drinks.

Wait, what? Is this really true? I can’t believe that a MLB organization has resorted to this?🤷‍♂️

Yup, it was a key moment for me back when I found that out.

Have they had Minnesota Crookston night yet? That would fill the place up.

Actually...they have the Funkley, MN night coming up...actual town with a population of 5...that should help

The Pohlad's should be forced to sit and watch this crap.....

The players have played uninspired ball all year long. It's as though they think all they have to do is go through the motions and they will win. The play tonight is typical of 3 out of 4 games this year.

Remember the mantra from the players earlier this year.....it's early, don't panic, blah blah blah.

They can start playing anytime now. It's no longer early.

Should add Hanska with Funkley for a sellout

It makes it worse...they recruit disabled to help them...I was told that point by one of the workers who fit that category

It's from this documentary I saw about how the 1939 New York Knights turned their season around.

They made a book out of it.  Completely changed the ending.  Made no sense

I'm naturally at a loss for words.

That could be a fun promotion. Find the small town closest in population to the paid attendance for the game 

I think we hit Cloquet tonight.

It can’t be that low

[TwinsAlmostWin]

Just remember, whoever was talking about next competing next year needs to remember we just lost 4 in a row to the White Sox. 

[Blyleven2011]

Pretty embarrassing losing to Chicago 4 games in arow ...

I thought the twins were better than this , if only they could hit ...

I did that once at the dome as part of a fundraiser.  We got a (I'm sure it was small) percentage of the sales.  There are worse places to spend an afternoon than the back of a Metrodome kitchen.  I'm not sure what they are, exactly, but I'm sure they exist

Right, these are fundraisers, but the owners make out like bandits, which seems on brand.

The Twins announced a paid crowd of 11,271 tonight. It’s their smallest September crowd in Target Field history. 

I give it until the next night game.

Talk about MN towns..strange names...I remember the true headline many years ago in a newspaper "Fertile man dies in Climax"

I grew up on a hog farm and castorating pigs is worse. Much worse.

At least you got a souvenir

I'd like to know how many people actually walked through the gates, not paid attendance.

I've been shocked at how large the crowd actually were in August. With onky 11 more home games to go, will they crack 100k?

Just tuned in…, never mind.

Twins have replaced the Sox and the Rockies as the worst team in the MLB!

Never ever thought that would happen but here we are.,,,

Twins are now the worst team and franchise in baseball. Forget the prospect hype because everyone comes to the Twins and stagnate's  with this coaching staff. Nobody develops, no position players, no starting pitching, bullpen is a cast of castoffs. It's a rudderless franchise with no clear direction of any sort. Just a sorry boat of indifference.

Noah Davis might be the worst pitcher to wear a Twins uniform in the last 15 years. 

Thomas Hatch  may challenge for that title. We have  the law firm of Larry, Mo,  and Curly represented by Hatch, Davis and Kriske three guys that even the fans see should not be pitching for the Twins.
