That’s what I thought. I’m not paying anymore money to watch them so I’ll stick to listening on the radio. I’m still bitter that they think we should pay for something we all had in the regular cable package just because they couldn’t come to an agreement.

Guess the silver lining is it’s not as painful as having to actually SEE how bad they are.

My tier level didn’t change. If you had them before on Ballys you should still have them now. Just it’s own channel.

Not that I’m a fan with all the streaming. But in theory it’s better than before. Those who don’t get cable could buy the channel individually.

Before they got into the negotiations and the blackout, Bally’s/Fanduel/FSN was on the normal main package. After the blackout they made it so you had to upgrade to the tier that has MLB, NFL, NBA and NHL networks on it. $20 more per month.

That’s why I won’t pay for it. They are screwing everyone that used to get it with that lower tiered package.

Must be different per provider then.

mine didn’t either. I heard they had a agreement with direct TV. The programming that I have had to get fanduel gave me the twins channel. I was prepared not to watch them.

FanDuel also carries the T-Wolves and Wild so it was worth it to me to upgrade? last year.

“Weeks” before Lewis is back.

I honestly don’t know how you start the season injured. Especially in baseball

Gonna be a great season. Our MLB best bullpen (named in the preseason) is killing it already……..

Is there a puke smilie??

Well, the Twins shyt on themselves again last night. Lewis, out until June. Pablo’s hurt. Buxton is due to hurt himself. I think I gave him 2 weeks before he’s hurt so there’s a little more time yet.
Buxton’s batting average is 0.171, his strike out average is 0.390.
Miranda’s batting average is 0.156, his strike out average is 0.406.
Can’t forget Corera. His batting average is 0.150, and his strike out average is a respectable? 0.175.
Oh and the team ERA is 4.50!!

Yeah, I rip on the Twins a lot. I love baseball but won’t be watching them much if this keeps up.

Baseballs a funny game. Some of it’s fans are even funnier.

What a low scoring series against the Royals. Yawn

4-0 Twins win. Wallner & France homer. Ryan gets the win.

Ryan will win the Cy Young…….Teams going to the World Series!!!!!! We’re back!

The beauty of baseball Mahto…..162 equals lots of up, lots of downs. Make it to .500 in Sept and a hot streak might get you into the ever expanding play-off scene.

I thought these Ishbia guys walked on water?

It’s been a steep fall for Phoenix. Since owner Mat Ishbia took over in 2023, the Suns have gotten progressively worse.

I think that’s pretty common in professional team ownership now, drop a few billion buying the team, try and splash right away and then sell the assets/contracts off or let them expire so you start recouping some of that cash. Pohlad kids are the only ones I know of who have done it for decades.

Did I see Buxton was hitting his name, a Buck Ten?

3-2 loss again today in KC. Got 2 on in the ninth but fizzeled out again. Ober good, Wacha better.

9 total runs over a 4 game span against KC. Not real good!

Can you name the guys in the line up who will hit .260 for the year? Correa & Buxton maybe……….. They have no interest in teaching hitting. They only have an interest in launch angle.

They have a hitting coach and 2 assistant hitting coaches. They also have a bench coach and an assistant bench coach.

I’ll actually say it’ll be Miranda and Castro. I guess I’m a negative Nancy or whatever. But I’m as over Correa and Buxton as possible. I will predict that both are traded this summer if not on the IL.

Sucks the Twins finally spent money on Correa and hes all but sucked here.

He hasn’t sucked. He has hit well when he’s played. His defense hasn’t suffered. You were never getting a 25 homerun guy with 100 rbi when he signed. The only disappointing thing has been his getting hurt the last couple of years. But, you can’t control injuries.

Haven’t watched a lot of games yet but thought after coming back from supper hey let’s turn on the Twins after a busy week…nope on Apple TV tonight. Good grief.

Big series. Twins are 3.5 games behind Detroit already. Twins lead 4-1 in the bottom of 5 at home. Festa is doing well so far. Can’t imagine Rocco lets him go much further.

Takes a minute for Alcala & Topa to give it back. 5-4 Detroit top of 6.
