FUBO still has Bally’s. There is a surcharge for “local” sports programming, but I chose FUBO for Bally’s so I am fine with the cost. I can watch the Twins on a labtop or phone – do not need to be at home.
The Verizon 5G box + FUBO saves us about $70/month or more per month.
That was the Chris Paddack I’ve been waiting for! Bostons lineup has been pretty solid this year too. Great start for him.
5-0 top of 8.
5-2 final. 11 in a row.
I just caught the 9th inning and thought it was some WWE walkup going on….WTF?
Evidently my man crush Duran has his own 9th inning entrance now and they shut off the lights and everyone turns on their cell flashlight like a concert.
was actually pretty cool
11 wins in a row. That is impressive.

I think he’s had that for a couple years now. You just don’t usually catch it on the TV.
China Doll on the DL…..Lasted longer than last year I guess.
While a healthy Buxton can carry a team he wasn’t that guy this year. Would he have gotten hot and started crushing the ball? Maybe. As it is right now I’m not sure they aren’t better off without him. Nobody can play better defense but there are a bunch of guys who can hit better right now.
Stewart also went on the 15 day DL, that will likely hurt more than Buxton being gone for 10 days.
12 in a row. 3-1 over Boston this afternoon.
Can we say 1991?
Now where did I put that Lawn Chair?

I think you left the chair down at U.S. Bank when the Gophers were headed for the play-offs. 
What Buxton brings is a leader with intense hustle. We had a team leader with amazing natural ability, great eye for the ball, perfect swing-no need to work hard, no clutch hitting. IMHO we are better with B. even if he is injury prone, your leader needs to be a fighter!
Buxton is a rare and special talent when he’s healthy. Unfortunately thats been a problem his whole career. The best thing the Twins have done in years is sign him to that $100 million dollar deal. Has he lived up to it….no not yet. But if they don’t sign him they set themselves up for another Ortiz deal. The difference being Buxton doesn’t appear to be taking roids. His days of being special are likely behind him now but he has been a team guy, not complaining, not being a Diva. He will be back on the field in 2 weeks and then we hold our breaths again and hope for the best.
Buxton was hitting around .250 and starting to drive the ball. While he wasn’t the Buxton that we’ve seen in stretches that can carry the team, he was playing well.
Austin Martin can hold down CF defensively and I think his average will continue to creep up because of his approach.
Streak is over at 12. Twins lose 9-2.
New winning streak just started.
Ober was good again tonight. Bullpen collapses.
Rocco should lose his job just on that game. So a guy comes in gets 3 outs on 10 pitches he won’t let them come back out. But he let’s Alcala just keep pitching the game away. Why not switch. At the end of the year you miss playoffs by 2 games these games get forgotten.
The 3 outs on 10 pitches wasn’t tonight but just a reference
He does some strange things.
Twins win 6-3.
Beat ’em up today 11-1
Lopez the win.
They are tWINning!
3-2 Win tonight in Toronto. Ryan the win, Jax a very shaky save. Santana homerun, Kepler PH 9th inning game winning RBI.
8 games over .500
Twins bullpen gags a 7-1 lead and they lose 10-8. 
Win today. 6th straight series wins (1st time since 2010).
Yankees coming to the plate ..
Ober absolutely shut them down. Another big Kepler hit!
Twins get beat by the Yanks 5-1.
Paddack wasn’t great but he wasn’t the reason they lost. Terrible outfield defense tonight.
Caught some of the Twins game as I was traveling for work and actually got the channel in my hotel room. Watched for a little and then turned it when playoff hockey got much more exciting.
Heard on KFAN earlier yesterday that TBS would carry the Twins/Yankees game but Paul Allen doubted it could be seen locally as blackout rules would apply even to TBS. He was right. And he and whoever else was on discussed how bad of a road it was to go down for all these markets around the country to not have their local teams on TV as it will start becoming a normal thing for many fans and having their team on 5-6 days a week will no longer be a normal part of life. And for a lot of fans once it’s gone it’s gone. I know I used to be a guy that had the Twins at least on in the house (whether I was glued to the TV or in the kitchen making something) all the time, easily over 100 of their games on a year on at home. People’s lifestyles are now such that daily baseball is just not a thing. Initially they are forced into it, such as recent Comcast viewers, but eventually people’s habits and lifestyles will not include checking in on their baseball teams daily/nightly.
This shift has a huge ripple effect of less viewers, less advertising, less revenue for all involved. Less eyes on the game means less fans buying jerseys of their favorite players because they don’t get to watch enough to establish a favorite, less connection with the game, etc. I’m not trying to be overdramatic, but I don’t think it’s hard to see the game/viewership/fandom many of us grew up with greatly changing.
Pohlad’s could care less, they simply keep the lights on to cash the TV Deal/Luxury Tax payment checks and come out making a profit every season…Every few years they’ll throw some of those profits back into the payroll to keep the fans at bay…The Twins are NOTHING more than a business to them, they’ll keep it until it stops making money and with MLB all that takes is keeping your team in the league…
