On this Barbie Day afternoon at Target Field, the Minnesota Twins said “Ken-ough is Ken-ough!” and decided to take the series from the St. Louis Cardinals! The Twins looked to do some damage off St. Louis SP Michael McGreevy right out of the gate when Byron Buxton doubled & Royce Lewis drew a walk, but […]

After last night’s improbable comeback-within-a-comeback-within-a-comeback-within-a-comeback, there was reason to believe the Twins could do it again after erasing an early 4-0 deficit. The Cardinals, who scored two in the first on an Ivan Herrera homer, and another two in the second on RBIs from Pedro Pages and Masyn Winn, seemed intent on scheduling Connor Prielipp […]

On a drizzly night, the Twins managed (somehow) to win a battle of bumpy bullpens. (In bWAR for relievers, the Cards’ pitchers are ninth in MLB; the Twins’ are 29th.) Inning-by-inning notes: 1: Cards 1B Alec Burleson has a home run in each of his last three games; make it four. Heckuva hot streak. If […]

My college journalism courses taught me to never bury the lede of a story. Sorry, University of Minnesota-Morris English profs—but I’m going to do just that here in pursuit of dramatic effect. The 2026 Minnesota Twins bullpen has set a franchise record in the realm of saves. Before the big reveal, let’s take a brief […]
The Minnesota Twins were probably looking to end this stretch against American League Central opponents on a high note by taking the rubber match against the Detroit Tigers. However, the Tigers came out swinging early and often against Zebby Matthews, and… well… if you were planning to write home about this game, I wouldn’t. Detroit […]

The Kaelen Culpepper hype train is full speed ahead right now. The Twins have lost 10 of their last 14 while getting very little production out of the shortstop position, both offensively and defensively. Meanwhile, Culpepper just keeps getting better and better this season. He’s batting .357 with a 1.062 OPS so far in June […]
I took my troubles to the baseball gameUp at the park with the financial name.Strive for a win which we surely wouldn’t mind;Would we have the trouble of blown bullpen in the ninth? We know the Twins have made us flop in grief:They call the ‘pen, but do we get relief?Well, Buxton and Royce hit […]

Byron Buxton kicked the game off with a homer, his 19th of the year, to put the Twins up 1-0. Taj Bradley had a really rough start again, as Dillon Dingler tied the game in the bottom of the first with a solo homer of his own. Then, in the 2nd, Riley Greene hit a […]

It was another slightly disappointing week, with the Twins splitting a four-game series with the White Sox, and then losing a series to the Royals. The team will now face Detroit and St. Louis this week. Royce Lewis returned to the team on Saturday after lighting up St. Paul with homer after homer, and he […]

After a devastating blown-save loss yesterday afternoon, today the again Byron Buxton-less Minnesota Twins looked to at least hold serve in this four-game series with the Kansas City Royals. It didn’t happen—and somehow it didn’t happen in exactly the fashion you’d probably expect (terrible bullpen & no offense until it was too late). The homesteaders […]

Close and late situations are not the friend of the 2026 Minnesota Twins. After a leadoff homer made it 1-0 Royals, Joe Ryan settled down for six innings of one-run ball, as Royal righty Luinder Avila matched him with five two-hit frames, walking three and allowing one run in a bases-loaded, no-out situation that the […]

A less-controlled-than-usual Matthews manages to last longer than we (or I) expected, and he’s helped by some Cuddyer/Rosario-style cannon shots from the outfield. Inning-by-inning notes: (Rain Delay): Hey, remember when rain delays might have Kris Atteberry interviewing a baseball book author or something interesting like that? No. It’s a 1991 game. I like hearing Herb […]
Every Minnesota Twins season, there’s a player who shines for a period of time and then is never memorably heard from again. Think Scott Diamond in 2012, Chris Colabello’s 2014 RBI binge, Michael Restovich winning a wild one in 2003, or Michael Ryan whipping the White Sox to end ‘03. With the way 2016 had […]

Prince Night at Target Field included some back-and-forth scoring, some back-and-forth circus baseball, and a rain delay. If the production crew didn’t play Purple Rain during the delay, then they should be fired. Seth Lugo faced off for the Kansas City Royals against the Minnesota Twins’ bullpen to start off this contest. Everything kicked off […]
