The Twins were drubbed 6-1, nearly taking in their first shutout loss of 2026, but regardless marking their eighth loss in the last nine ballgames, and exacerbating the absolute morale tailspin that Minnesota has found themselves in during the back half of April. A bizarre first inning opened with a ghost-timeout that required something akin […]

Against an opposing pitcher who’s been one of the best in the AL the last several years, you need your starter to be really sharp — Taj Bradley was doing kinda OK until he wasn’t — and you need your hitters to take advantage of opportunities when they arise. These Twins were terrible at the […]

Though by no means a pleasant or enjoyable topic, an undercurrent of the 2026 MLB campaign will be the upcoming labor negotiations upon season’s-end—especially as they apply to economic affairs. As someone who has always been fascinated by baseball’s competitive balance, it is a subject I may return to a time or two this summer […]
There were Twins littered on the bases all night, but as has been the case this series, they just couldn’t seem to find the one key hit to put up a crooked number. Until Ryan Jeffers came up with the bases juiced. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Making his first start after two years […]

With the Twins trying to avoid extending their losing streak to 5, Simeon Woods Richardson was tasked with out-dueling the Mets Nolan McLean. The assignment proved to be difficult, as McLean would take a perfect game into the 6th inning. Meanwhile, old nemesis Francisco Lindor smashed a 3-run homer in the third off of SWR, […]

All the good vibes from last week have disappeared as the Twins are now on a four-game skid, mostly thanks to an ineffective bullpen and bad defensive play. Despite three straight elite starts this weekend from Joe Ryan, Taj Bradley, and Bailey Ober, who only gave up three earned runs in 18.1 combined innings, the […]
Coming into this weekend series with the Cincinnati Reds, the Minnesota Twins had won three consecutive series and were in first place in AL Central. None of that momentum would carry over into the cold conditions as the Twins were swept by Terry Francona’s Reds. The Twins got off to a good start in the […]

The Twins frustrated in all the predictable ways today, with eleven runners left on base and a leaky bullpen squandering a quality start from Taj Bradley. With a 4-2 lead in the seventh, Minnesota’s pen gave up one run in each of the following innings to cough up the lead and hand the series over […]

Joe Ryan was good enough to win, but the Twins were 0-for-everything with RISP and you don’t win too many games that way. Inning-by-inning notes: 1: Joe Ryan’s Express sends the Reds down on 11 pitches. Brandon Williamson does the same with 14. Von Ryan’s Express was a late-60s Frank Sinatra movie involving Toughness and […]

After some particularly impressive performances against usually-dominant starting pitchers last week, this graphic began making the rounds on social media… A truly remarkable battering of three hurlers who could easily find themselves in AL Cy Young Award consideration by season’s end. Per my usual “this got me wondering about…” thought process, I looked back at […]
They blew our doors off‘Cause sometimes it’s pain;It’s always crazy like that.As we watched from our couches,We had hope in the upside;It may continue.We saw as Woods Richardson threw;Strong start, a Martin jack,But it crashed amid a muddled third,And we hit the sack.First Luke erred, then Story hit one over the wallWhile Early made our […]

The Twins struck first in this game with a Luke Keaschall single scoring Byron Buxton from 2nd. There was a tag play at the plate and he was initially called out but replay overturned it, putting the Twins up 1-0. In the 3rd, Buxton would make it 2-0 with a solo shot to left. In […]

Is this my most strained pun headline yet? Most likely. Also, please don’t crochet your socks. That’s just asking for blisters. After chasing Tarik Skubal and Framber Valdez early last week, tonight they ambushed 2025 AL Cy Young runner-up Garrett Crochet for 11 runs in the first two innings. To say the lineup has come […]
