The Twins have fewer hits in the last 2 games then home runs hit by the Yankees

Aloha!

If you go back to whenever the BS started about them selling the team I am pretty sure I said that was never going to happen.  I never bought it for a second...

100%…this was a bait & switch from the start (last Fall) to take heat off management & ownership for the epic September collapse.

You certainly could be right that this was a bait and switch but IMO it is yet another case of the Pohlads not reading the room. As owners they can do what ever the hell they want to but I continue to not see how the decisions they are making make any sense including from a business sense. You have to spend money to make money. Target Field will be a ghost town next year and getting people's hopes up that they might sell and not doing so IMO only makes the situation worse.

I will continue to root for the players, manager, and GM I use to be a partial season holder but haven't gone to a Twins game in a handful of years and I don't see that changing any time soon.

I’m not following your logic?  What is the bait and switch? Attendance has been low for a year and a half!? Fans haven’t been excited since 2023 prior to the owners announcing a payroll cut. They are just continuing to worsen fan attitudes as long as they continue to make poor decisions. 

It is a known fact that they wanted to sell to Ishiba, but he opted to purchase the White Sox. That wasn’t smoke and mirrors. My hunch is they didn’t get anywhere near the amount they wanted to, and decided to not sell full stakes as a result. They’ve sold off as a family numerous parts of their empire in the last few years as the family continues to descend through the generations and as a result their wealth decentralises.

@youngeagle Believe whatever you want…if they legitimately wanted to sell the team, it would be sold by now. There’s always more than one legitimate buyer when you truly want to sell. They didn’t…End of Story.

Or just sell a controlling interest to someone/group, one that will actually INVEST in this team.

People have to stop attending Twins games. It’s the only “way” to hit the Pohlad's where it hurts.

Yes! 100% What MikeEruzione11 said.  I would go as far as to say don't even go if the tickets are given to you. Make it a ghost town for the last month and a half and don't spend a dime on food or beverages. 

I hate it for the current players but somehow a message has to be sent.

Twins have an exciting season ahead—can’t wait to see what unfolds! 

 
 

Is this meant to be a JOKE? They have been an utter embarrassment…since spring of 2024, make no mistake, the Twins are counting on the RUBE-IDIOT tendencies & short term memory of MN fans to bail them out of this PR debacle.

After Thursday's game:

Just hoping too few people are showing up to chant that loud in the future.

B1G refs... corrupt, or just incompetent?

The paid attendance for the Minnesota Twins vs. Detroit Tigers game at Target Field yesterday, August 16, 2025, was 19,537. The point is most  people who attend Twins games in 2025 just want to be entertained & could care less whether the home team wins or loses.

Twins were on FOX last night vs Tigers and in the bottom of 8th trailing 6-5 they load bases with 2 outs, go ahead run in scoring position & Brooks Lee up to bat (he already had 3 RBI in the game) & he promptly strikes out on 3-4 pitches That’s the Twins in 2025 & LOSERVILLE personified. lol

What strikes me is what 34 years of LOSERVILLE has done to MN PRO Sports fans Basically evolved into the definition of whatever our failed team owners (especially the Pohlads) do…MN fans are simply resolved to EAT SHIT while pretending they aren’t eating 💩 from  team owners!

I think at this point, most who go to the games already had tickets, so why waste them? It honestly makes sense to me.

Brooks Lee!

He was up with the bases loaded last last night and they flashed a stat that he had yet to hit one.  Good for him!

Of course my satellite went out because of the rain during his at bat....

They've been saying it on the Power Trip for a few weeks.  85% of tickets for the Twins are sold before the season starts.  People have tickets, why not use them.  Next year though may get worse.

Baseball at an mlb ballpark is a pretty cool thing especially for kids, growing up it was part of our summer family trip to the cities, valley fair, the zoo, and a Saturday night game at the met. I can’t remember scores but do think the twins were kinda bad. Definitely didn’t care about ownership, contracts, or anything about finances. I just remember who I was with and where the seats were that gave me the sights, sounds and smells of being there. I’m personally forever thankful for those memories and when I see kids on tv at twins games it takes me back in time a little and it’s a pretty good feeling. Thanks mom and dad! Now as a parent continue that tradition and make memories that I know my kids are grateful for.
