Shipley: Are you an angry Twins fan? Leave your message after the beep

[Bright Bison]

I'm not sure I buy into Pohlad's plans . He's trying to rewrite history by saying he tripped over himself and didn't communicate with fans... yeah right! The fact remains that the team made some questionable moves, like shipping out those 11 veterans in mid-season last year. That was a huge mistake . I don't think Pohlad can just wave a magic wand and fix all the problems overnight . It's gonna take time, effort, and some tough decisions to rebuild the team from scratch. Can he really deliver? I'm skeptical .

 

[Doubtful Ding]

Ugh, Pohlad needs to work on being more transparent with fans . I mean, come on, 50 season ticket holders getting a call from him asking to renew? That's just awkward . And what's up with the team's roster moves? Trading away good players left and right? It feels like they're just trying to spin a win-win situation for themselves .

I get it, mistakes happen, but Pohlad needs to own up to them and communicate better with fans about what's going on. These voicemails and messages from angry fans aren't going away anytime soon . And let's be real, the team's performance has been pretty underwhelming in recent years... I'm not sure how much more of that Pohlad can handle before he's out the door .

I feel bad for Tom Pohlad, he's got a tough job ahead . The fans are right to be upset, 18 games losing streak is crazy ! He needs to bring in more talent and rebuild the squad ASAP . But at the same time, I think it's cool that he's acknowledging the mistakes of the past and trying to communicate with the fans . It shows he's not just gonna sweep everything under the rug . The thing is, Pohlad needs to prove himself over the next few seasons or risk being seen as another failure . Can't wait to see what happens!

 

[Handsome Hyen]

Ugh, I'm so done with these fan tantrums ! Like, come on guys, calm down already . It's not like Pohlad just walked in out of nowhere and decided to ruin the team . He's got a history, you know? He was part of the team that made those mistakes back in 2002 . And now he's trying to make amends and fix things . But noooo, all anyone can see is that he's "shutting down" season ticket holders or "ditching" veteran players . It's like fans forget that teams have to make tough decisions sometimes .

And honestly, 50 season-ticket holders who hadn't renewed? That's not a desperate attempt at placating fans, that's just basic math . If people weren't going to renew, then maybe they shouldn't be expecting a refund . I mean, Pohlad's trying to build a sustainable team here, but all anyone sees is "oh woe is us" .

I feel for the guy, though . He's got a tough road ahead of him, and it's not going to be easy to regain trust . But can we at least try to be supportive instead of just tearing him apart?

Ugh, poor Tom Pohlad... I mean, who wouldn't be upset when they get taken over by a new face? But honestly, 50 season-ticket holders getting kicked off might not be that bad for the team's morale... I guess. It's time to shake things up and bring in some fresh blood! The Twins need a radical overhaul, and Pohlad is just the guy to do it. Those veteran players he's meeting with are probably just holding back their true opinions because they don't want to be seen as the reason for the team's struggles. I bet if he cuts ties with those guys, the team will actually start improving!
