A New Era of Twins Catching Prospects
With Ryan Jeffers set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason and Victor Caratini on a moveable two year contract, there is plenty of uncertainty at the Twins catcher position going forward. While I would LOVE to see Ryan Jeffers get an extension, it is entirely possible that he hits free agency this winter […]
The unworn: Exploring uniform numbers no Twins have donned
When the Twins acquired Yoendrys Gómez in their spaghetti vs. wall style of bullpen construction, they also set a team first. Gómez is wearing #94, the number he has worn for most of his career, with Minnesota, and he has become the first Twin in history to wear that number. Because I will take any […]
Twins 12, Rangers 2: 17 hits secure a series win
Trevor Larnach got this game going with a bang, specifically a solo homer deep to right field on the second pitch from Rangers starter Kumar Rocker. Next, Byron Buxton singled, stole 2nd, and was brought home later by a Josh Bell 2-out RBI single to put the Twins up 2-0. With Zebby Matthews going strong, […]

Twins 4, Rangers 2: Oops, all dongs
Dongs, taters, bombs, dingers, moonshots, in play run(s). Whatever you call them, there’s few things better than when your favorite team hits them and worse than when they give them up. In this case, the good guys hit one more than their oppenents and a couple of them was all it took to take home […]

Monday Morning Minnesota: The “Homers Abound” Edition
It was a middling week for the Twins, going 3-3, wrapping up a three-series run against AL Central rivals with a series loss in Detroit before finishing the week at home with a series win against the Cardinals. In that time, the Twins homered 14 times, with Byron Buxton making his return from running into […]
Twins 5, Cardinals 4: Ken-ough is Ken-ough!
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 […]

Cardinals 9, Twins 6: Comeback? Runs Lack
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 […]

Twins 9, Cardinals 8: Bombas fly over the rainbow
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 […]

Somebody Save Me: The 2026 Twins have already set a franchise RP record
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 […]
Tigers 11, Twins 0: You didn’t really miss anything, trust me
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 […]

Kaelen Culpepper: It Is Time
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 […]
Twins 6, Tigers 4: Tensely truncate tabby triumph
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 […]

Tigers 10, Twins 4: Tigers out-slug Twins
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 […]

Monday Morning Minnesota: The “He’s Back!” Edition
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.

Royals 6, Twins 5: Diamond kings trump bullpen jokers
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 […]
