  1. It’s growing on me. I’m a Twins fan first and a Brewers fan second, less an MLB fan. I’m a Packers fan, but no longer really an NFL fan. I’ll watch a Bucks or T-Wolves game, but not regularly, I can’t stand NHL… but I’m picking up the random MLS and World Cup games without having a dog in the fight, more and more.
  2. Have you been to a Twins game on a Sunday lately? Half of the fans are kids, 75% of them wearing Ronaldo Jerseys. 2 Sundays ago there were more white Fly Emirates jerseys than Twins jerseys in the stands.
  3. Current Pablo, past Tony O, announcer John Gordon, Manager TK
  4. There’s a 40% chance Pablo plays 11 more years? I’d take the under on that bet
  5. Static off-season is my biggest fear. Gotta buy or sell. I’d rather watch buy, I would begrudgingly accept sell, the most likely is the dithering and we watch this crap another season while getting nothing for the assets they have left who have trade value.
  6. I think that decision is already made, and they ran out of time at the deadline
  7. They already have 62 wins. I don’t think it’s delusional to think they can go 1:19 rest of season. 3:17 is pretty optimistic, but 1:19 seems about right
  8. Along with not being able to pinch hit for Wallner and learning that Wallner can indeed hit lefties better than a mediocre rhh, I hope the Pohlads and Falvey have learned the cost of their indecision. the FO didn’t have to blow it up this year. They could have taken an incremental approach prior to 2024 to build the prospect capital and develop minor leaguers before the team became too stale.
  9. We’ve seen the Pohlads do this before. Everyone with the laugh emoji doesn’t remember the late 90s/early aughts. 25 players at 800,000 plus Buxton at 15m and Correa’s 10m dead money isn’t out of the realm of possibility at $45m. the team John constructed, the one we are currently watching, is going to win at most 72 games this season, and next year is an easy 100 to 110 loss team. That would alienate the fanbase even more than it already is. they aren’t loading up for a post season push heading into a lockout after the fire sale. If you’re alienating the fans already, why wouldn’t the Pohlads just finish the tear down? I hope I’m wrong and the new minority owners change the direction of the team, but I just don’t see it. :(
  10. IKR! 12 years and quite a life choice I made
  11. Oh no, never https://www.fox9.com/sports/twins-fan-allegedly-banned-1-year-from-target-field-defund-pohlads-sign
  12. The pitcher will bounce it off the umps chest protector and the run up and grab the ball, that way they can have an extra position player
  13. Welcome to Twins fandom, where the Hot Stove season has lasted from the All Star Break to April Fools Day since 1995.
  14. Moneyball was about getting on base as an undervalued statistic, 20+ years ago. Sabre is an ever evolving statistical and historical society of baseball fans and professionals that has a wide approach to evaluating the game.
