  1. Nice article. Great reminder that baseball really is the most human game of all... built on failure as much as success. Even the greatest hitters fail 7 out of 10 times, the game has a way of humbling everyone sooner or later.
  2. Because that makes to much sense!! MLB seems scared of fully pulling the trigger — they want to “ease in” with challenges. But honestly, it just creates another layer of mess when the real solution is to let the tech call balls and strikes on every pitch. By 2027 season...it will be fully automated. Hopefully 2026.
  3. Articles like this, and the comments that follow only highlight how dismal the outlook is for Twins baseball in 2026 and beyond. Until NEW ownership replaces this front office with talent and fire their sleepwalking manager, a 2026 roster projection is just about learning how to stomach mediocrity. Twins fans deserve so much better than the endless cycle of Pohlad's cheapness and excuses.
  4. Fans aren't "forced" to watch anything. To the contrary, by not watching, fans can force ownership to field a team worth watching. Every empty seat is a vote. That's how I see it.
  5. Minor correction. In 1969 and 1970 mlb playoffs...first round was best of 5 series. Baltimore swept the Twins 3-0 both years.
  6. Spending $30 million to “improve” the Twins roster in 2026 is like pouring an overpriced engine additive into a car to boost MPG from 4 to 5. Technically an upgrade… but you’re still stuck with a clunker.
  7. You nailed it...just like the ball Grisham just mashed for a 3 run bomb. Taj has nothing to get excited about.
  8. Sands gives up 4 hits, 4 runs, blows his 4th save, and earns ( cough cough) his 4th win. His record is now 4-4. Era 4.27
  9. Cody will be the 26th pitcher to pitch this season for the Twins. Can anyone here even name 16 of them? More triva: The Seattle Mariners set a Major League Baseball (MLB) record by using 42 pitchers in 2019. That broke the previous mark of 40 pitchers used by the Mariners in 2017 and the Texas Rangers in 2014. The Mariners used a total of 67 players in 2019, also a record.
  10. Twins Time Line of Doom 2023…Season of hope ends in joy First playoff series win since 2002. Fans dared to feel optimism. 2024…Season of hope ends in sadness Expectations are high, but the team disappoints. Fans feel the sting. 2025…Season of sadness ends in indifference Continued mediocrity and disorganization. Fans stop caring as deeply. 2026…Season of indifference ends in a fan base completely checked out. The doom and gloom only ends when all three are gone! Pohlads-Falvey-Baldelli
  11. A buddy of mine live a hour apart. Most years we meet up at Target Field to take in a game together. This year, instead of going to the CWS game we decided to met half way at a Menards and look at all the cheap discounted $%&# they have on the clearance rack. Sometimes the real memories are made in Aisle 37B, right between the dented patio chairs and discounted toilet seats.
  12. The only thing the Twins are really counting on with Clemens’ bat is the money they’re saving by not paying a real MLB hitter.
  13. Seems to me MLB needs to revisit the idea of a tweak. Back in 1969, MLB lowered the mound from 15 to 10 inches to restore balance after the ‘Year of the Pitcher.’ With today’s game dominated by strikeouts and velocity, should MLB consider another tweak, like adjusting mound distance or height, to bring the sport back to a similar sweet spot between pitchers and hitters?
  14. I work in advertising....here's the campaign they need to run.
  15. Nice article...but what about all the minors leaguers currently on the active roster?
  16. 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?
  17. No thinking outside the box allowed in MLB!
  18. Jhoan Duran Philadelphia Phillies 1.89 1.12 57.0 62 23 Griffin Jax Tampa Bay Rays 5.06 1.33 53.1 82 0 Danny Coulombe Texas Rangers 1.85 1.05 39.0 41 2 Brock Stewart Los Angeles Dodgers 2.38 1.09 34.0 41 0 Louis Varland Toronto Blue Jays 2.61 1.18 58.2 58 0 ____ Jax has sucked....but 4/5 haven't. Show me the five guys that have replaced theses 5.
  19. I tip my hat to Ryan for his accomplishment, but " reaching the majors" is relative. The Twins have: 1) major league admission prices. 2) a minor league roster, 3) and a beer-league bullpen.
  20. True. It’s a 3-ring circus: the Pohlads playing ringmasters, Falvey juggling players like a clown, and Rocco wobbling on the tightrope — just waiting for the inevitable fall.
  21. Looks like Abel just got slain.
  22. Did you mean poised for 2036… not 2026? Must’ve been a typo. Been following this team for 50+ years, and I’ve never been so emotionally detached. I’m not even sure who’s more pathetic—ownership, front office, manager, or players. If you thought 2024-2025 was a nightmare...2026 is going to be a horror show on steroids.
