Results When the Twins moved to Target Field in 2010, I had to be lured outdoors like TC Bear. My entire baseball existence to that point had been under the Teflon roof. So when “the new place” opened and balls weren’t flying over fences and dramatic walk-offs weren’t happening, I felt a little uneasy. Big […]

Tom Pohlad wants you to believe the Twins will be able to contend in this division despite not giving the front office the resources to do so. They have a lot of talent and untapped potential, and maybe a new coaching staff can do a better job of helping them reach their ceiling, but they’re […]

Growing up in the 1990s, Twins baseball was Kirby Puckett and Kirby Puckett was Twins baseball to me. Far before I knew the meaning behind the guys running around in funny pajamas or why we waved white hankies to cheer them on, I knew Kirby Puckett. It was the name. The smile. The way he […]

Results After four straight dismal seasons, Target Field had become more mausoleum than marvel. The 2015 Twins were a desperately-needed injection of competitive excitement into the fanbase. Nothing personified the upswing more than the heroics of July 10, 2015. After a furious rally from a 6-1 ninth inning deficit, Brian Dozier found himself at the […]

It has been expected (by me, at least) ever since Main Street/FanDuel Sports Network (the successor to Diamond/Bally) missed a broadcast rights payment to the Cardinals back in December, and now it’s happening: a whole bunch more clubs are returning their local broadcast rights to Major League Baseball, as had happened previously over the last year+ with the Padres, Diamondbacks, Twins, Rockies, Nationals, and Guardians. Up to eight more teams, formerly having their rights at Diamond/Ball...
