Twins Top 40 Prospects: September 2026
The major league debuts of Walker Jenkins and Kaelen Culpepper were the top headline in the Twins system this month, and for good reason. There was a lot less movement across the boards as the minor league seasons wind down and we have gotten a pretty good grasp on where these prospects are at. Big […]
Tigers 11, Twins 6 (12 inn.): It’s too late to apologize
Now it’s over; play it off.Had to play a longer night,Came to show a lot of fight On a WednesdayWe would rather forget.Hitting started off weakly,Staying hitless ‘til we got intoInning four, ere which the TigersHad a pair break through.Tied it late, but we couldn’t pass ‘em;By the end, we were spent. ‘Cause when a […]

Twins 15, Tigers 2: 10 run 6th leads to another blowout
The Twins went with an opener tonight, Andrew Morris got the first inning with Connor Prielipp taking over from there. It worked out well, as you can see from the score in the title, as the Tigers only managed one run in the first, with Prielipp shutting them out in his five innings tonight. Kody […]

Get the best of Twinkie Town on the new SB Nation app
It’s a big day for Twinkie Town. Today, the SB Nation app is live, and it’s the best way to follow the Twins. You can download it by searching SB Nation for iOS or Android. I’ve been using the app for the past couple weeks as a beta tester and have found it to be […]
Twins 11, Tigers 1: Keaschall Khaos
Luke Keaschall was a much-needed spark plug, Walker Jenkins doinked his first MLB homer off the right field pole, Jeffers added two bombs of his own, his first since the last day of July, and Taj Bradley delivered one of his best starts of the season when the Twins most needed it. It was a […]
Game 138: Tigers at Twins
First Pitch (CT): 6:40 PMTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN/830 WCCO/102.9 The Wolf /Audacy AppKnow Yo’ Foe: Bless You Boys The Twins’ postseason hopes aren’t dead yet, but a disastrous 8-17 August has put them firmly as a long shot. They are only four games out of a playoff spot, but teams like the Guardians, Blue Jays, and […]
Monday Morning Minnesota: The “Walkerrrrr Jenkinnnnsss” Edition
Walker Jenkins is up! And that’s maybe where the good news ends for the Twins from this past week. The Twins’ top prospect has shown some decent discipline at the plate, but it’s only been three games, so we’ll see how the rest of the season pans out. After losing two straight series, the Twins […]
Twins 5, White Sox 1: Laundry Day
In the game thread intro today, I clicked & clacked a whole story about the Washington Senators playing the Chicago White Sox on this day in 1926. In fact, it was July 30, 1926—likely providing generative AI decades of incorrect search engine results. Fortunately, there was no such confusion in today’s decisive Minnesota Twins victory […]
Game 137: White Sox at Twins

The Tube: Twins.TV The Dial: Treasure Island Baseball Network Spies ‘R Us: South Side Sox Back in July, I looked back at some 1926 Washington Senators 100-years-to-the-day history that happened to match up with a present-day Minnesota Twins afternoon at Wrigley Field. I didn’t expect it to […]
White Sox 3, Twins 2: The Down Deep
The White Sox have rolled into Target Field and won what might have been described as a “must-sweep” series, the kind of outcome that you have to root for given the mathematical state of things, but that might deliver you a few side-eyes depending on how genuinely you think it’s going to happen. Today, it […]
Game 136: White Sox at Twins
First Pitch: 1:10 pm CDTTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN / WCCO 830 / The Wolf 102.9 FM / Audacy In the hugely anticipated sequel to last night’s game, the Twins will be facing the Chicago White Sox again this afternoon. That’s right — the Minnesota faithful were left begging for more, and you know what? The squeaky […]
White Sox 7, Twins 4: Walker Jenkins does not singlehandedly save season (yet)
The White Sox showed why they’re 7.5 games ahead of the Twins. They keep coming and coming, and are willing to do what it takes to add a run here, a run there. The Twins are largely “long ball or nothing”; tonight it was long balls then nothing. And Dean Kremer stank. Inning-by-inning notes: 1: […]

The 2006 Twins wobbled but didn’t fall down in August
The birth of the Piranhas and Smell ‘Em in July of 2006 was an iconic time to be a Minnesota Twins fan. Unfortunately, the dog days of August ‘06 brought injuries and uncertainty. Through it all, Gardy’s bunch—like the iconic Weeble toy—wobbled but didn’t fall down. The unrest began on August 7 when after four […]
Twins top prospect Walker Jenkins to debut Friday
Per Jonathan Mayo of MLB Pipeline, Twins top prospect Walker Jenkins will make his Minnesota debut this Friday against the Chicago White Sox. Jenkins is ranked #13 overall by MLB Pipeline, #4 by FanGraphs, and #9 by Baseball America. He is the highest ranked Twins prospect to debut since Byron Buxton in 2015. Minnesota will […]
DSL Twins 2026 Season Recap
The Dominican Summer League season wrapped up last week, and it was not a good one for the DSL Twins. They finished with a 19-35 record, allowing just under 9 runs per game, the 3rd most in the league. While its always good to win games, individual player development is prioritized in the minor leagues, […]
A’s 7, Twins 4: Morris meltdown
It’s been a long, long year,And we’ve been waiting for ignition;It’s getting late, we fear,And this flat collapse is now tradition.Three guys hit some early homers,Thus giving the Twins a rapid lead.But in the sixth, after Prielipp was done,They called the ‘pen to prevent the run;Instead, they bleed. This has been the plight of an […]

Athletics 4, Twins 2: Bats go cold
The A’s jumped out to an early lead in the 2nd inning when Carlos Cortes smacked a 2-run homer to right. Fast forward to the 5th, with the Twins offense still struggling against lefty rookie Gage Jump, Taj threw 9 pitches and all of them were strikes for the first immaculate inning in Twins history. […]

Twins 9, A’s 6: (Mostly) Back on track in Sac
In the past 10 days, the Twins have been swept by the Phillies, swept the Braves, and then were swept by the Padres. It’s all or nothing in the dog days of summer and hopefully the win today puts them back in the “all” category. The Twins got off to a great start and, unlike […]

Monday Morning Minnesota: The “Sweepers Get Swept” Edition
For a tantalizing 24-hour period, the Twins were in the playoffs after sweeping Atlanta. One weekend trip to San Diego later, and those good vibes were gone as the Friars did the sweeping. Fortunately for the Twins, all the other teams vying for that last spot in the Wild Card were similarly mediocre last week, […]
