Eh, the boring Twins were the opponent, and the weather was iffy.

Now, if all these young players emerge as excellent players it’s going to be important to fill the stands to extend some of them and have $ for the additional pieces that we’ll need at the trade deadline. Hopefully the fans are quick to come back.

Yeah, “the OPPOSING team isn’t interesting enough” and
“what if I get wet?” sounds wayyyyyyy better on the BFIB reputation as opposed to “we’re starting to get sick of the complacency” when explaining why the opening day weekend crowd was unimpressive……..

Esp if you as a FO show you will reward a team that overperforms. Nobody expected 2015 team would be on a 100+ win pace. Not every season's team has earned the right to the FO going that extra mile, but that one did. That sent a message that winning was secondary to ensuring that they met a certain profit margin.

My question is this: if this team overachieves will they go thst extra mile and pick up a bat or will it be more excuses?

I guess the forecast thunderstorms had nothing to do with it.

Man, you can come up with more excuses. Advance ticket sales have nothing to do with a weather forecast.

Those crowd shots are extremely concerning. There is No Crowd!!!

Wow. Looks like Pittsburgh or Oakland.

We must be near rock bottom at this point

As long as team keeps Winning, couldn't care if they were playing to an Entirely Empty Stadium.
