1. I love how they just have those two so close to in front of Joe lmao

2. Paul Molitor having to show up to these events are aging him like a president

3. The hair that Molitor has left is very floofed up

4. #JOE GETS A STATUE IN 2025

5. Please make sure a competent artist designs his target field statue!!!!

6. Mauer’s statue had better be of him standing on second base

7. Math ain’t Molly’s strong suit

8. The Joe Mauer statue will be in a seated position due to bilateral leg weakness.

9. Correa on the bench like “I want a statue”

10. MAUER STATUE MAUER STATUE

11. Kleenex count: 2.5.

12. Jack should throw the first pitch to Mauer.

13. they got Wallner, Thielbar, and Watkins to catch the first pitch

    something tells me they thought Louie was going to be here

14. Where Dave Winfield at? Not even a mention?

15. I hope y’all show up with the same energy when Willi is inducted

16. Gotta say out of the 3 big mauer celebrations this one was a let down, the Twins HOF felt more impactful

17. Molitor announcing the statue was the smart choice over a Pohlad or St. Peter. Go figure the Pohlads couldn’t be bothered to show up today.

18. After 3 innings Crochet will be knitted and purled.

19. Really in the mood for some Coordinated Business Systems, LTD but idk why

20. #YO JOE MAUER JUST TAPPED JEFFERS ON THE SHOULDER, HES CASHING HIS MONEY IN THE BANK, HES BACK FOR THE SEASON

21. I love you Joe but you made a big mistake when you shaved your head and got rid of those sideburns

22. Can someone share a picture of their replica plaque? I’m curious how those turned out.

23. Willi so good he’s batting twice (according to the stadium graphic) 

24. “I you want to win the division you have to beat the guys in front of you”

    Latroy with the Roy Smalley take

25. I’m curious on where they’re going to put the Mauer statue. Most likely outside the right field gates I’m assuming. But could also be in the parking lot of Mauer Chevrolet in Inver Grove Heights.

26. Has there been any updated news on Correa?

27. Willi looking a little chesty tonight must be hot in MSP

28. Wait is Calvin Griffiths statue spot going to be mauers

29. Yes I did cry throughout the Mauer ceremony thank you for asking

30. I thought Friday and Saturday home games were City Connect games…?

31. Vargas: “if he could steal any skill from any player it would be Shohei’s swing”

    THATS WHAT YOU WOULD TAKE FROM SHOHEI?

32. they just aired an ad for the Show 2011

    are they stupid?

33. The eternal question of is Bailey locked in or are the sux just *that* garbage?

34. [why the fuck does calvin griffiths statue have a wiki](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statue_of_Calvin_Griffith)

35. Sox broadcast is putting out a lot of forced optimism about ending their losing streak tonight because their most recent win was also against Ober (Game 1 of that double header).

    Time to remind em who you are Big O

36. another quick pop in u/kjates Zach Bogosian and his cute family are in the in front of me…yes he’s sporting the hockey beard

37. Say what you want about him, but Margot is slashing .326/.379/.488, OPS .867 batting leadoff.

38. No way Luis Robert is already 27. Swear he just came into the league as a really young top prospect

39. Crochet’s leg kick makes me irrationally angry

40. “if he wasnt a baseball player, hed be a semitruck driver”

    bro you are oone

41. I do not like 400 foot flyouts

42. Beef Stew citing in the dugout. Give that man some of Royce’s rehab ice cream.

43. Man remember a few years back when people were thinking that Luis Robert has best player in baseball level talent

    Turns out he’s just like 80% Byron Buxton when healthy and he has the same injury issues

44. the category for the name guessing game was “hof catchers”

    the man got Carlton Fisk but not Johnny Bench

45. Byron Buxton’s fielding is pure sex

46. Buck looked 1000x better than Robert on that one
