Latest news and updates about the Twins
The Nats bats responded in a big way last night after getting crushed 11-3 on Tuesday, dropping 15 of their own en route to a 15-2 victory. Miles Mikolas made his deepest start of the year, going 5 1/3 innings and allowing 2 runs, before handing it off to Mitchell Parker and newest National Zak […]
First Pitch (CT): 12:05 PMTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN/830 WCCO/102.9 The Wolf /Audacy AppKnow Yo’ Foe: Federal Baseball After what we’ve seen from the Twins’ bullpen of late, we might need a stronger word than “implosion” to describe what’s happening. It’s unlikely to get better today with Simeon Woods Richardson amid arguably the worst stretch of his […]
The first nine Nationals hitters of the game were retired, and it felt like it would be another game where the offense would struggle. However, the Nats were able to flip some sort of crazy switch and put an absolute beating on the Twins. They scored 15 runs in a game where 6 Nats hitters […]
Well, there’s a tall man on a tall moundPlaying in a tall, crowded park,Starting clean through three, mowing through the whole line;You know his aim is sharp as a shark.But there’s more ballgame and more innings:D.C. bats will all adjust,And they’ll homer deep and they’ll line doubles,And who’ll remember when this game wasn’t bust? Oh, […]
After getting pummeled by the Twins last night, the Nats need to get off the mat and fight back. They have a chance to even the series tonight, but they have to play better baseball to do that. If they drop this game, the Nats will fall to 10 games under .500 at home. Blake […]

WeOnly want to foreseeThem play it closeOr rise to marquee.

The Nationals got on the board first in this game. After a walk to Daylen Lile, Curtis Mead doubled to make it 2nd and 3rd with just one out. CJ Abrams hit a grounder to Luke Keaschall who tried to get Lile out at the plate, but Lile was too quick, putting them up 1-0. […]
The Nats have a bad home record at 4-12. However, part of that is due to the teams they have played. They have already faced the Dodgers, Braves and Brewers at Nats Park. Now, they will get a lighter touch against the Twins. They need to take advantage of this and boost their home record. […]

The Nats are coming off a quiet offensive series against the Milwaukee Brewers, scoring just 4 runs in 3 games. After 2 straight losses, a strong pitching performance from Zack Littell held down the fort for a gritty 3-2 victory in the finale. Washington has kept themself in striking range of .500, and has another […]
The Twins managed to finish the week with a win, splitting a four-game series with the reigning AL Pennant winner, the Toronto Blue Jays. Unfortunately, both Joe Ryan, Cole Sands, Emmanuel Rodriguez, and Walker Jenkins were the new additions to the injury report this week. There had been encouraging signs from the oft-injured Jenkins, as […]
Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs were cast out by the St. Paul Saints (Twins), 8-7. Jordan Wicks had a rough start in a rehab assignment. He took the loss after giving up six runs on nine hits over 3.2 innings. The positive news is that he struck out four and walked just one and 50 […]
Blue Jays 3 Twins 4 That was irritating. Joe Ryan left the game with a sore elbow after walking the second batter and we had to think we had a good chance. But no. Trey Yesavage wasn’t good, but then only gave up one run. In four innings he allowed five hits, three walks and […]
The Twins sent Joe Ryan to the bump this morning—the Peacock MLB Sunday Wakeup special—hoping for a series split. He lasted all of two batters before leaving with an undisclosed injury. It would be an unexpected bullpen game featuring the worst pen in baseball. My thoughts at the exact moment: how many innings will Kody […]
Game four of four. A win would mean a series win. And a win would bring us back to .500 for the first time since April 4th. They are 6-2 over the last 8 games. And it is a Trey Yesavage start. 5.1 shutout innings in his first start. The Jays made some minor league […]
First Chuck: 11:45 AM CDT (new anthem each week!) The Tube: NBCSN/Peacock The Dial: Treasure Island Baseball Network Spies ‘R Us: Bluebird Banter A few weeks ago, the Toronto Blue Jays & Minnesota Twins clashed in a tight series that saw MN quite unexpectedly take two-of-three from the defending champs. Film fans will know that […]
The Yankees offense keeps on rolling, scoring nine in a rout of the Orioles to make it 16 runs scored in the first two games of the series. The starting rotation also continues to shine, Will Warren and Ryan Weathers both giving up just one earned run to Baltimore respectively across play on Friday and […]
We ought to have a boilerplate template for 2026 Twins recaps, because it feels like every time the Twins lose this season, it’s for exactly the same reasons as I am about to describe. Another encouraging start from a young arm was emphatically erased by possibly the most predictably incompetent bullpen you’ve ever seen in […]
Blue Jays 11 Twins 4 Jays did everything they needed to do in the top of the eighth: But there was also bad news, George Springer took a pitch off the, already broken, toe and had to come out of the game. I’d imagine he’ll be back on the IL. I was wrong the Jays […]
A series win would nice. George Springer is in the leadoff spot again. And no Andrés Giménez. It is against a lefty. Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS TWINS George Springer – DH Byron Buxton – CF Ernie Clement – SS Trevor Larnach – LF Vladimir Guerrero – 1B Josh Bell – DH Kazuma Okamoto – 3B […]
First Pitch: 1:10 pm CDTTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN / WCCO 830 / The Wolf 102.9 FM / Audacy This week, I had free tickets to my first two Target Field games of the year, the deflating Tuesday night loss against the Seattle Mariners, and the series-opening victory against these very same Toronto Blue Jays. I wish I could say […]
Daniel Palencia was throwing hard in St. Paul. Mason McGwire might just be a prospect. Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs declared the St. Paul Saints (Twins) to be heretics, 6-5. Connor Noland put the I-Cubs in an early hole after he got battered around for five runs on six hits over four innings. He walked […]
First-year MLBer Kazuma Okamoto put some hurtin’ on Simeon Woods-Richardson, the Twins threw too many outs and chances away. Inning-by-inning notes: 1: George Springer with the leadoff single, and a good cheer comes through on the radio. So, as usual, there’s a lotta Jays fans at TF. Who in my experience are basically the nicest […]
Jays 7 Twins 3 Kazuma Okamoto had a slow start to the season, but he’s picked things up lately. Today he had 2 home runs, a walk, 3 runs and 3 RBI. 31 games into his MLB career he has 7 home runs, and 18 RBI. And, unlike yesterday, the pitching was good and the […]
Game two of the series with the Twins, where it is 12C today. It has to be a better game than yesterday’s, right? Ernie Clement gets his first day off of the season. Lineups: Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS TWINS George Springer – DH Byron Buxton – CF Jesus Sanchez – RF Austin Martin – RF […]
