BREAKING: Twins acquire AJ Minter from Mets
According to Jeff Passan of ESPN, the Twins have acquired left-handed reliever AJ Minter from the New York Mets. The Twins are sending prospects Billy Amick and Bruin Agbayani in return. Minter, 32, has spent plenty of time on the injured list the past few seasons, but has been relatively healthy of late, posting a […]
Twins 4, Royals 3: Clemens delivers the best and worst win of the season
For eight and two thirds innings AND two strikes of this nine inning game, the Twins looked lifeless, dead, and outclassed by a much inferior Royals squad. To the point that I had a recap completely written and ready to post as soon as the score went final. But Kody Clemens had other plans. Unfortunately, […]

First Pitch (CT): 12:40 PMTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN/830 WCCO/102.9 The Wolf /Audacy AppKnow Yo’ Foe: Royals Review After getting shutout by notorious ex-Twin Randy Dobnak last night, the Twins will try to get things back on track facing someone ever harder than a journeyman pitcher with a Triple-A ERA over 5: an anonymous lefty with an […]
Marek Houston is Breaking Out. How High Can He Go?
When the Twins selected him with the 16th overall pick last July, Marek Houston was seen by most scouts as a lock to stick shortstop with elite defensive talent, but a fringy bat that projects for below average production in the major leagues. Just 27 games into his Double-A tenure, Houston is already producing offense […]
Royals 4, Twins 0: Completely ‘nak-ered
I’d seen last night that the Twins were at .500And had a chance to keep winning streaks along,And out they came, and we hoped for skillful playing,But then everything we hoped ended wrong, ‘Cause the Royals, they said, “Sit down,Sit down, no gettin’ on base,“And Dobnak, he said, “Sit down,You’ve all got egg on your […]

Twins 3, Royals 2: Royce Lewis walks it off
The Twins offense tonight could only be described as groundball happy, get ready to read the words “double play” about a million times. In the 1st, 2 on and 1 out, Kody Clemens hits into an inning ending double play. In the 2nd inning, Luke Keaschall ends the inning with their second double play. They […]

The Twins’ three trade deadline paths
Generally, there are five total paths teams take at the trade deadline. It’s not always as clean but generally, nearly every team will fall into one of the five tiers below. The Twins will almost definitely fall in the middle three of the list above. Minnesota is one of a morass of eight AL teams […]
Monday Morning Minnesota: The “Wild Card Hopeful” Edition
I left for a month and the Twins slightly improved? The team is now 1.0 game away from the final wild card spot and two more series away from the one-year anniversary of the legendary Twins Trade Deadline firesale. It remains to be seen whether we’ll be saying goodbye to any fan favorites next week […]
Twins 11, Athletics 8: Cream of the Crop
In the game thread intro today, I relayed the story of Randy Poffo the baseball prospect turning into Randy “Macho Man” Savage the iconic professional wrestler. In a game this afternoon that the Minnesota Twins absolutely needed to have in the win column, they indeed proved to be “Cream of the Crop!” over the Unattributed […]

Twins 2, A’s 0: You want hits? Well, tough spit (A’s Edition)
Much like last night, scoring in the middle innings and reliance upon great pitching led to a 2-0 victory. Except tonight, the shoe was on the other foot. And brother, the shoe fit. Minnesota evened the series with a 2-0 win over the Athletics, one night after falling victim to the same score. First, it […]
Game 106: Athletics at Twins
First Pitch: 6:10 pm CDTTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN / WCCO 830 / The Wolf 102.9 FM / Audacy It’s been a make-or-break mid-July, and after a frustratingly docile series opener, the Twins will need to bounce back at home to avoid falling more than five games back of the division and more than three back of the […]
A’s 2, Twins 0: You want hits? Well, tough spit
The A’s came into the game with the worst pitching staff (statistically) in baseball. The Twins sure couldn’t take advantage of it this time. Inning-by-inning notes: 1: A nice quick inning for Zebulon: two groundouts and a strikeout. Zebulon Pike is the soldier/explorer who named Pike’s Peak, in Colorado. The song “America the Beautiful” was […]

Ted Williams, James Wood, and some PA/P history
Every time I attend a Major League Baseball game with someone eclipsing my forty-and-a-half years, a similar scene plays out: the person will look up at the Target Field scoreboard—where batting averages are listed—and shake their head and/or let out some sort of derogatory phlegmatic noise. Because of ever-increasing pitcher velocities and more reliance on […]
Twins 3, Guardians 1: What is Guardsball if not ineptitude persevering?
Hopefully you all had a good day at your real jobs and didn’t watch this game because it was ROUGH. In the first 11 (THAT IS ELEVEN. TWO ONES NEXT TO EACH OTHER. IT’S TOO MANY FOR THE REST OF THIS UN-FUN FACT) innings of this game the Minnesota Twins went 1-14 with runners in […]
Five Highlights From The FCL Twins Season
The 2026 Florida Complex League season came to a close this week, and finishing with a 33-26 record, the FCL Twins rode the backs of a handful of intriguing bats to put together a solid season.

Guardians 5, Twins 2: Losing streak reaches four games
As I said in the open, the Twins have struggled lately since getting back to .500 on Friday, dropping three straight coming into today’s important contest in Cleveland. That streak unfortunately continues, as the lineup couldn’t hit Parker Messick’s fastball, and the bullpen couldn’t hold the game later into the game. The game started with […]

Are you a Cleveland Guardians player? If so, welcome to Twinkie Town! You probably hit a home run tonight if your name is: All of these homers came off of Minnesota Twins ace Joe Ryan, who is the 13th player in Major League Baseball history to allow six homers in a game, and put eight […]
