The Twins Minor League affiliates are migrating over to Bluesky slowly but surely. Here's a link to the Cedar Rapids Kernels account if anyone wants to follow it.

Not sure how rare or how much it's worth. I got it from a friend who knew I was a big Twins fan.

If Mountcastle is available - Twins should be all over it.

Is there any sort of unofficial gathering pre/post games? Plenty of fun spots in StL to choose from.

I just got an email today to renew my season tickets but it seems like the flex plan has been replaced with a choice plan?

And after looking at the choice plan it really makes no sense

I don’t want to pay $1500 just to get a discount on tickets or food and I don’t want use or manage points

I just want my allotment of tickets I can use as I wish

I use them for business and family

Does anyone know if there is a way to keep the flex plan?

I pay each year instead of auto billing so I’m not locked into anything

I definitely won’t be doing a choice plan

Actually look like too much work tbh

Someone posted a #/13 Topps Triple Threads they pulled the other day. I thought I’d show off what I got on a break from Triple Threads.

Overall, this is probably the best I’ve ever done in a break. And I’m always glad the Twins are one of the least expensive teams in breaks.

Picked this up in a grab bag at Twinsfest over the weekend. Was thinking Joe Ryan but after researching his signature it doesn't really seem like it. Thanks!

Saw in Ted’s X bio he no longer lists being a writer for Twins Daily. Curious if he was let go or maybe his contract ended

I have him on my dynasty fantasy baseball team, I was wondering what you guys see when you watch him on the regular. His numbers were decent but does he look like a special player to y’all? Will he get a shot to start coming out of the gate?

Do yall think this might be Baldellis final season with us especially with new ownership incoming?

Managerial Record

1x Manager of the Year

457 - 413

3-8 Postseason Record

16 Ejections(some quite memorable)

A very interesting stat with his record is if you remove the 2019 Bomba Squad his record is only 2 games above .500 and if you remove the shortened 2020 season it would be 8 games below 500. He has placed top 7 in manager of the year voting 4 times. Players seem to llike him with the exception of some pitchers feeling the leash can be too short despite the twins being top half of the league in number of innings pitched by starters.(Twins has 1440.1 innings pitched by starters while the first place Red Sox had 1452.2 innings.)

Do you think Baldelli has earned an extension or will this years performance be the deciding factor for the new owners? Or will there be a change regardless of performance?

Edit:formatting

I attended Twinsfest today with the goal to get autographs for my nephew who is loving collecting trading cards. I had a prioritized list and a friend came with me so we could split up.

We got plenty of sigs, but not for the two players I wanted the most - Byron and Brooks Lee. We waited in lines and literally were 30-40 people away from the table when they closed down.

I guess I don’t understand why they don’t say 90 mins at 20 secs a sign equals 270 GUARANTEED and then if you want to wait, it’s on you? It’s frustrating.

Baseball and Twins specifically are some of the things I enjoy most in life. But this “signature Saturday” is terrible. Too many people for certain players with such a short time frame. Lines getting cut off when there’s 35 minutes till the next group. The garage sale is 80% shirts and old recycled low quality bobbleheads. This was by far the weakest autograph sessions. I could go on and on. I hope others enjoyed it because I sure didn’t. Four hours of driving and 3 hours of standing in lines for 3 autos and a bag of cheap bobbleheads. I should have stayed home and cleaned my toilet.
