  1. This ain’t good

    It ain’t

    Some one is gonna hafta look in the damn mirror. Long n hard. Long n hard

    Somethin gonna hafta change

  3. 3-8
    Lopez injured
    Jax cooked
    Gasper doesn’t live up to his mustache
    Season over
    Im sad

  6. ![gif](giphy|L1UrpOlWsiHK)

    Posted this in the GDT but jesus fuckin christ. Waste of a good start by Pablo and he may be out too

  7. Maybe the Pohlads are right, if this is the team my 150m bought me I’d probably want to cut payroll too.

    /s

  8. Yeah I don’t think they have some magic weiner winning streak to bail them out of this one. What a disaster.

  10. Following up their catastrophic collapse with a catastrophic start to the season. I do love me some poetic symmetry, folks.

  11. Why throw the game away figuratively when doing it literally is so much more efficient?

  14. Keirsey in lineup tomorrow… Austin Martin should be swapped with Gasper. Let Brooks Lee play a couple games at AAA then Miranda can go across town as well

  16. 2024: “Please, all I ask is for a Twins team with CONSISTENCY.”

    *Monkey’s paw curls*

  19. Ok, after this mess, now I’m worried that the Twins might be the White Schlocks of 25.

  21. What even have a month of spring training if guys are going to be this unprepared to play after?

  22. Both runs unearned. We can blame the errors but really what is the offense doing? Felt like they actually hit better than one run today

  25. ![gif](giphy|QMHoU66sBXqqLqYvGO)

    Me, hopelessly optimistic that we can turn this thing around.

  27. Of course Rocco decides that the ninth inning of a one run game is a good time for Julien to face a lefty, rather than have Castro pinch hit for him.

  28. If the Twins continue like this, goodbye Pablo, Duran, Jax, C4, etc. And then we have 5 fucking years of misery until we are “rebuilt”

  29. Rise as One

    Dedicated to the one contract this team has signed since the playoff run

  30. My mom and sister went to the game the other day. They were like we left when they were up 7-0. 🤣🤣 Twins suuckkk

  32. I was gonna list out all the players that need to go away….Then I realized the list of good players would take less time. Then I realized that makes me sad so I’m not going to…

    PS Buxton with 4 strikeouts. Cooked

  34. Any potential owner who had an offer declined is probably thanking their lucky stars

  35. It’s time to see what we can get for Correa. I would say Buck too, but at this point, he’s probably not worth anything.

  38. This fucking team.. I don’t know if I can support this product anymore

  39. As this game slipped away I was like “well, at least I have the Timberwolves”

    Fuck our teams lol

  41. Please fire Rocco; if the Nuggets can fire their championship winning coach, our nitwit can get shown the door…

  42. It’s so cool that a state of almost 6 million people have to accept their baseball team is the vanity project of some noodly doughboy silver spoon kid hell-bent on proving whatever the fuck his Ivy League MBA or whatever was useful to his dead father and siblings and whatnot, it’s awesome I love America

  43. Brandon Drury should be ready soon from his thumb injury. He was having a great spring. Would love to see him play for us.

    Edit: Never mind, looks like the White Sox took him back.

  44. How is it even possible for the state of Minnesota to have so many just gutless professional sports teams?

  45. I think we didn’t specify what “or else” was when we say “The Twins better win….or else”
