It's the day after opening day and no Twins season thread?!
Twins lost their season opener as FYI. 3-4. Got down early, couldn't recover. Hard to get excited about this team we're not investing in improving at all and our strongest players will likely miss 60 games due to injuries and whatnot.
Not to mention not releasing a broadcast answer to a majority of their fanbase until gameday.

My gut feeling is sales of the Twins' pay even more to watch scheme were poor and they scrambled to find a way to get games on cable.

You give them more credit than I do. I assume same on sales of the streaming option and therefore delay as long as possible to get as many stream purchases as possible before announcing, oh yea, still on Fan Duel as always. I figured they didn't want to risk / cannibalize any possible sales by confirming anyone could watch on existing platforms.
Either way, they can't seriously want to sell asking $1.7B for a team valued at $1.5B carrying $425M in debt. And, YOU ONLY PAID $44M TO BUY THEM!!!!
Sell for $1.5B, agree to pay down 50% of the debt, take your $1.25B and be happy.

We’re waiting for the plague know as the Pohlads to GTF outta here. Tomorrow’s game is on FS1 so I may turn it on as I sleep off a hangover.
Twin open with a promising performance (snark) as they’re swept in their series with St. Louis. Glad I’ve only looked a box scores thus far.
0-162
Paddock gives up 7 Earned in the second lol
losing again today 9-0 right now to the Black Sox
Aloha!
That's the final. Back to back games giving up 9 runs and shutout by the White Sox. 0-4 start to the season. Between the weather and the record, opening day may be ugly.

No surprise when they’re playing for the worst owners in all of ⚾️
2023 seems incredibly further away than just two seasons ago. Only the Cubs have given up more runs, and they've played two more games. Target Field oughta be rocking on Thursday.
Ouch! I stand corrected. Should be slo-pitch softball for the border series this year.The brewers have given up 36 through 4.

Helmets in outfield seats should be mandatory this weekend.

@youngeagle When you’re the 2nd richest owners in MLB and refuse to care about ever competing for another WS title because your CHEAP…you SUCK! Among the worst no question….
I kind of feel it goes:
1) Oakland
2) Chicago White Sox (though with Ishbira's (Sp?) decision, I think that's going to change
3) Minnesota
As my top 3 worst owners. Though, Minnesota may jump to #1 just based on not wanting to own or invest in the team but also not taking selling seriously. Putting a team that millions invest their time and money into, that gets public funding, that dictates the careers of certain players into a limbo of uncertainty is unfortunate.
Sacramento is the worst by about the width of the universe and its not remotely close. Oakand fans deserved so much better the past 10 years than what they got.

Twins win
They are in a rain delay have not even started todays game
Aloha!
Aloha!
Twins win... and are in 1st place ( and technically last place as well )
I was recently informed by a GPLer that I'm related to Airey
The Twins finish a week long road trip to start the season and now come home in first place!!!
We need a HUGE crowd tomorrow to welcome the FIRST PLACE MINNESOTA TWINS!!!!!
The team just needed a few days to find their grove. They've won back to back road games by scores of 8-3 and 6-1 (road series win). There is now no stopping the RED HOT Minnesota Twins!!! 😉 😀
Back to back wins...
Harrison Bader. I like this guy! Stay healthy please!
Lopez, Correa and Buxton all with great games, granted against the Lame Sox. Good hack for those of you who signed up for free MLB Extra Innigns thru T-Mobile….they release your home team replay 90 minutes after the game is over.
Turned on the tv just in time to see Jose Miranda hit a 3-run hr today.
Rubber match tomorrow - let's go twins
somehow I get the Twins games on Comcast. Not sure how. I didn’t sign up for anything.Lopez, Correa and Buxton all with great games, granted against the Lame Sox.

I got an email the other day about a twins channel being included in my spectrum package. I haven’t had time to search that out yet though.

Beware: the unis are not pretty

Found it. City connect blue jerseys with white pants. We are Kansas City now.

Why do the Twins have upunor printed on the pitchers mound at Target field?

B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?

The fix is in right? This is some kind of Black Sox thing, had to be. They’re not this dumb are they???

It’s April and I’m already starting to think about who they’ll sell at the trade deadline 3 months from now. Ugh

This was called correctly. Tiger never touched the bag. Then Miranda slid but also somehow never touched the bag and then started jogging off. Something about assuming.

Yea, I meant the Twins are throwing the game. Obvious right call and absolute bone headed move by Jose who is staring at the umpire giving the safe sign.

I don’t think he ever looked at the ump and how do you slide into second but never get within 5 feet of the bag? I mean…if you think you’re breaking up the double play you still gotta touch second JFC

Actually just noticed I have Twins on DirecTV.
I have an $8 "regional sports fee" also. No idea what that means.
