I think we have come to the conclusion that the Twins have had an ugly start to the season. Winning percentage under .300, ass bats signed up for an extended stay, key players injured, bad defense and poor baserunning on top of it all. It's especially disappointing since it's pretty similar to how the Twins ended the last six weeks of the 2024 season. Fans are voting with their pocket book too by not showing up at games. Last night had an announced crowd of just over 10,000 but by all accounts, maybe 7,000 in the attendance (granted it was a cold, blustery, wet night). With Wild and T-wolves in the playoffs and NFL draft in 9 days, probably even less attention granted to the Twins at least through April.
Bailey Ober on the mound and he's pitched well after his opening "I'm actually kind sick" first start. Tyler Migell (brother of former Twin Taylor Migell) for the Mets. So no relief in sight for the ass bats. Also the weather should be a lot better, although still in low 50s by first pitch.
Game time at 6:40 and this game is on "over the air" TV - FOX 9 (KMSP-TV).
Wallner had to leave the game after sprinting to first base and did something to his leg when he hit the base

Once more behind before fans even get to their seats
I don't know if it has been mentioned here yet, but I wonder how much the speed of the game has affected TV revenue due to less commercials. On another note, I actually get to watch a game today due to Tuesdays on fox 9.
Are there fewer commercials? I recall they cut down on TV time between innings before the new rules but that part did not change with the new rules. There are fewer mound visit ad reads.
Yeah, you are correct. Games just seem to fly by nowadays. For the most part I like it, but when attending a game you can miss a lot running to the restroom or grabbing some food.
JeffeHRrs!
or not
Oh man now Correa leaves the game due to injury
Mets squawkers blaming the Twins demise last fall on Correa missing the games.
The 'pen really needed him, too
Contact play... worked?
Jeffers en fuego.

hang on to your butts
unclench time, phew
Really surprised they overturned the call - looked like a tie - seems like you wouldn't overturn the ump’s call him being that close and all.

BROOKS!
Too many "in play, no outs"
Unnecessary self-imposed drama, there. Zoinks, Scoob!
