Wadena, MN native & @FMRedHawks Ace Jake Dykhoff (@JakeDykhoff) Transferred to Baltimore Orioles Organization.

RedHawks manager Chris Coste (@chriscoste27) said,

“A lot of us shed tears because I’ve known Jake since he was 14 and his family and things like that...When you see that, it’s a huge moment. Motivation and encouragement for not just our team, especially our own players, but even your opponents see it. And when guys get signed out of our league, every player in our league knows it, they see it, and it gives everybody hope.”

Auburn and Texas A&M played a real top 10 baseball game yesterday. It was buried on SEC network plus. At the same time ESPN was broadcasting a ridiculous spectacle called the "Savannah Bananas"

I understand ratings, viewership and how all that works. But how is college baseball supposed to grow when the people in charge of it's broadcasting rights do absolutely NOTHING to promote it?

2 top 10 teams, playing a 1 run ball game. A real one. A real baseball game. and the "Worldwide Leader in Sports" is instead promoting a slop musical with choreographed dancing and other various circus acts just because they decided to perform this WWE style nonsense on a baseball diamond.

We all like different things so if you're an adult and you think that the Bananas are cool then more power to ya. Go have fun. But ESPN prioritizing fake baseball over real baseball is sad and pathetic.

Joe Pohlad and the Pohlad family aren’t just a disgrace to baseball, they’re a stain on the entire state of Minnesota.

Their story starts in the Great Depression, not as scrappy underdogs, but as profiteers who made their fortune foreclosing on homes of desperate families who had lost everything. From day one, they were taking from the poor to enrich the rich, and that ethos has never left them.

For decades, the Pohlads have been infamously cheap, demanding that Minnesota’s taxpayers and fans foot the bill for their every whim. They’re not savvy businesspeople, they’re parasites.

In the early 2000s, they nearly let the Twins die. Attendance was down, they refused to invest, and the team was on the chopping block to be contracted alongside the Expos. The only thing that saved the franchise was a court injunction forcing them to honor their Metrodome lease.

By 2006, they convinced Minnesota to cover seventy-five percent of Target Field’s cost. A billion-dollar family, holding out its hand to working-class Minnesotans and demanding payment.

Fast forward to 2016, Jim Pohlad hires Derek Falvey to modernize the organization. For a moment, there was hope. Player development technology, advanced analytics, and a revamped coaching staff started to pay off. By 2019, the Twins won 100 games. By 2023, they broke their playoff curse. The arrow was pointing up.

Then Joe Pohlad took over, and steered the ship straight into the iceberg. He “right-sized” the team, gutted investments in talent and infrastructure, and erased the analytical and developmental edge the Twins had built.

By July 31, 2025, the gut punch landed: an all-time pathetic trade deadline where they dumped eleven players in a payroll purge disguised as a “fresh start.” It wasn’t a reset, it was a surrender.

The final hope Twins fans clung to was the idea that the Pohlads might finally sell. Now we know they won’t.

Joe Pohlad, and the rest of your dynasty of leeches, you are nothing more than generational thieves. You take from people who make less than you, give back nothing, and expect them to be grateful. Minnesota doesn’t owe you thanks. Minnesota owes you the door.

Fuck you, Pohlad family.

Sebastian Mexico bet on himself, took a gap year, and completely shifted the narrative on his career 🚀

He walked into Driveline in September of 2023 with a bat speed of 68mph and an extremely flat attack angle, but tons of untapped potential. Fast forward to his departure for summer ball: bat path cleaned up ✅, exit velo skyrocketed 📈, and bat speed peaked at a STAGGERING 81.4mph in his final mocap.

The result? A monster season for LA Tech:
.318 BA | .996 OPS | 11 HRs | 55 RBIs
2nd Team All-Conference
Oh, and Conference USA Player of the Week honors in early April 🏆

The future is undeniably bright for the LA Tech Slugger! 💪

I learned this technique over 20 years ago from Reggie Smith that Albert discovered. Too many false teachings, the back elbow should come down first before the hands. Sadaharu Oh taught Reggie in 1982 to bring your elbow to your belly button- This has helped so many players.

“Only the people who have enough persistence and are good enough at it..

Ever really find out the truth.. Because they see it through until the end. 🔑

Everyone else, ends up just telling a story about what might have happened.”
