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 […]

Even more suprising: it’s once again one of the best starters in the sport. The good news is the Twins have already […]
The “American League-leading” Minnesota Twins are 9-7 after two straight series wins over the Tigers and the Blue Jays. It’s been certainly impressive to see the team fight back after three straight series losses, and doing so without needing the heroics of Byron Buxton or Luke Keaschall. Instead, infielder Tristan Gray has been a solid […]
As the game thread intro indicated today, the Minnesota Twins historically do not fare well against the previous year’s American League champions. Fortunately, they were able to flip the script this afternoon against veteran starter Max Scherzer and take the rubber match in Toronto against the Blue Jays. Twins SP Taj Bradley was extremely shaky […]

The Twins bounced back in decisive fashion on Saturday afternoon, riding a wonderful start from Joe Ryan and an early crooked number to best the Toronto Blue Jays by a 7-4 final, and even the series at a game apiece. Early momentum was not in Minnesota’s favor; after allowing 10 unanswered runs in the series […]
First Pitch: 2:07 pm CDTTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN / WCCO 830 / The Wolf 102.9 FM / Audacy Not only did the Twins blow a 4-0 lead last night in what looked like a morale-boosting, streak-extending win against a top-tier opponent, but they also officially lost two players, as Royce Lewis and Cody Laweryson hit the IL. It’s the […]
Well, things were looking good for Twins starter Simeon Woods-Richardson until a Roman servant whispered in his ear “all glory is fleeting,” and the Bad Mojo spread through the bullpen like bedbugs in a bad motel. Ouch! Inning-by-inning notes: 1: Austin Martin singles and scores; Luke Keaschall beats out a single of his own. Bringing […]

Quoting from the Book of Ben, chapter & verse: “For seemingly the 10th season in a row, the Twins simply can’t manage to string together any offense against left-handed starting pitchers” Is this actually true? Well, let’s take a look (I’m including all lefties here—SP & RP alike). In 2016-2018, the Twins were about league […]
They say baseball is a marathon and no team has embodied that more in the first two weeks of the 2026 season than your Minnesota Twins. After a rough start, an April winning streak once again has the Twins right back in the mix for the third season in a row, sweeping the division-favorite Detroit […]

Taj Bradley and Tarik Skubal traded scoreless innings tonight, until the Twins broke through in the 5th. After a pair of 1-out walks by Byron Buxton and Austin Martin, Luke Keaschall singled up the middle for the first run. Then, Ryan Jeffers doubled down the right field line, scoring 2 more runs. Two batters later, […]

Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve got a series-opening win on our hands! The top half of the lineup woke up, Joe Ryan battled through some cold middle innings, and the bullpen worked around some very poor Twins defense, but a win is a win! Things were looking good through three innings. Joe Ryan was perfect and […]

On a day the Twins really needed some length, starting pitcher Simeon Woods Richardson gave the Twins everything they could ask for and more. Unfortunately, the bats didn’t do their part, leading to another loss that was well within reach. Let’s start with the good. Woods Richardson looked sharp all day, despite his stuff being […]

Decked out in Minnesota’s freshest uniforms, and making his first start at Target Field, Mick Abel struggled through four innings, and the Twins lineup was unable to keep things interesting, as the Rays evened the series with a snoozy 7-1 victory. Abel labored through his first two innings, allowing a pair of two-out baserunners in […]
Byron Buxton had to leave the game in the seventh inning when he was hit by a pitch and suffered an right arm contusion. X-rays were negative, but obviously we’ll know more later tonight or over the weekend. In the game itself, Bailey Ober didn’t take well to the cold, but the bullpen (!) held […]

In 2015, the Minnesota Twins re-invigorated the fanbase with a season of contention right down to the wire. In fact, the organization was so enamored by the breakouts of Brian Dozier, Eddie Rosario, Byron Buxton & Miguel Sano that aside from taking a gamble on KBO slugger Byung Ho Park, they didn’t do much in […]
