Through the last 30 games, the team that many reportedly picked to win another division title and who has a $125 million payroll, has lost 19 games and only won 11. This is the second worst record in all of baseball.
After the loss on Thursday, May 6th, the Twins have played a total of seven extra inning games so far this season and lost in all of them, which also has not happened to any MLB team in the last 100 years. The team has only scored one run in the 9th inning all season.
It seems that politics have made their way into the 2021 MLB season with the franchise starting the year by positioning themselves on the varying issues causing civil unrest across the country.
The franchise posted different social justice signs on Target Field’s walls, with some of them saying, “End Racism” and “Justice for George Floyd.” On April 12th, the Twins chose to cancel an afternoon game in response to a Brooklyn Center shooting. Fans were irate.

Maybe they can hire old Fastball Fauci.
got woke, what a joke, went broke, gonna croak.
I like that. :-)
Turn your back on all things WOKE, let them all starve.
Yes, but it’s sad. I’m a fourth generation STL Cards fan, and I haven’t watched a game in 2 years at least. This year I got a subscription to MiLB and watch their games on my tablet. So far, no “wokeness”.
I know we like to turn these kinds of things into karmic judgments, but the twins’ problem isn’t BLM, it’s pitching.
Twins were in a bad spot. Don’t openly support BLM, and watch everything associated with the team come under fire. Literally. It’s not like conservatives and patriots would come to their aid if they had held their ground. Modern patriots have better things to do than make a sacrifice for the country. Keyboard Warriors, full speed ahead!
Seems to me they didn’t have to say anything. They could have just shut up and played baseball.
Non-support is the same as no support as far as the leftists are concerned.
True, but it was worth a try. Even if they issued one generalized statement, they could have shut up after that. Instead, they went for the gold medal of wokeness.

$125M is not much money in governmental terms, but a team on a budget, with a stadium full of empty seats, is sailing toward the rocks.
I dont even qualify to be fair weather fan =p
All of Minneapolis is rotting. Who in their right mind would want to visit, live or invest in such a lawless, unlivable place.
to go to a game you have to go downtown, and that is getting more and more dangerous.
Organized sports is a form of corruption and should be abolished.
Their ticket buying fans are in the suburbs and they have no interest in running the gauntlet into the city for a ball game.
Fitting......
