Latest news and updates about the Twins
The Mariners will try to extend their win streak to four games (on fields without standing water). The Mariners send out their “we’re facing a righty” lineup against Joe Ryan, who’s the Twins best starting pitcher this year with a 3.22 FIP. The Mariners will likely see a heavy dose of fastballs and sinkers, with […]
First Pitch: 6:40 PM CDT TV: Twins.TV Radio: TIBN, WCCO 830, The Wolf 102.9 FM, Audacy App, LosTwins.com Know thine enemy: Lookout Landing The Twins, who are hoping that their 11-run outburst yesterday is a sign of things to come, are sending out Joe Ryan against Seattle’s Logan Gilbert. Today’s Lineups MARINERS TWINS J.P. Crawford […]
Let’s start with the important part of this story: Luis Arraez is having a great season right now. Do all the people who never doubted the front office’s commitment to signing a singles hitter who hadn’t played second base in some time to play second base want to serve crow to those of us who […]
About the only good thing to come from last night’s 11-4 drubbing at the hands of the Minnesota Twins was the big-league debut of hard-throwing Alex Hoppe. You know we love a debut around here, and it was extra special that it was such a quiet stinker of a game that Brad Adam could easily […]
The Twins started off the week by extending the Mets’ losing streak to 12 games, but that’s where the good news ended, as they started their own streak, losing five straight games before righting the ship against Seattle last night. They are only three games below .500 and still sit third in the Central division, […]
Happy Tuesday! A rough outing from starter Luis Castillo led to seven earned runs and an eventual 4-11 loss to the Minnesota Twins yesterday. Cal Raleigh’s seventh home run and RHP Alex Hoppe’s MLB debut were the lone bright spots in the otherwise difficult game. Logan Gilbert takes the mound today against Twins ace Joe […]
Meet the Mets The Mets officially DFA’ed Tommy Pham and signed Austin Slater to a major league deal. Slater will be active for tonight’s game against the Nationals. The club also claimed Eric Wagaman off waivers from the Twins. Following losing their second game on Sunday, Howie Rose had an ominous warning for Carlos Mendoza […]
It was a dark and stormy night when a dark plague descended upon downtown Minneapolis. A plague of losses, a plague of runs, never leading at any point in a game in nearly a week. But our hero Kody Clemens emerged from one blogger’s hate-filled game preview with a single goal: score. Thanks, Kody. I’ll […]

After seeming like the game would certainly start in a delay, the Mariners and Twins are now tracking to get underway close to on-time for tonight’s series opener. If there are further delays we will update this post. Lineups: Josh Naylor returns to the Mariners lineup after sitting out yesterday’s game with quad tightness, just […]
First Pitch (CT): 6:40 PMTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN/830 WCCO/102.9 The Wolf /Audacy AppKnow Yo’ Foe: Lookout Landing After the latest bout of losing, it appears I need to adjust my previews back to “look at the bright side” mode. So, after losing 5 straight and 9 of their last 10, let’s pull a few positives. Now […]
The Seattle Mariners are fresh off what is both their first road series win and their first three-game series sweep of the season and headed to Minnesota to face a Twins team that is rebuilding after being sold for parts at last year’s trade deadline, which should be a harbinger of momentum finally shifting in […]
After sweeping the Cardinals in St. Louis, the Mariners continue their annual early-season cursèd march through the Midwest with a stopoff in Minnesota, the famous not-roof-havers. The Twins are fresh off their own sweeping, at the hands of former Mariner Ben Williamson and the Tampa Bay Rays. They’ve lost five straight and nine of their […]
Good morning! The Mariners completed an exciting three-game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals yesterday behind a pinch-hit, go-ahead home run from Rob Refsnyder. Luis Castillo will take the mound tonight at 4:40 PM to face the Minnesota Twins at Target Field. With lots of great pitching and hitting performances from this series, what was […]
It seems like watching Rays baseball is all sunshine and rainbows when Tampa Bay isn’t playing an NL Central opponent, right? The Rays are 11-1 against teams not hailing from the Senior Circuit, and are 5-10 against teams that do. In fact, the Rays went 1-2 against the Reds, Cubs, Pirates, Cardinals, and Brewers. Now, […]
The Minnesota Twins flew into St. Pete late Thursday night and will depart shortly. Much like a group of college spring-breakers, they will likely want to forget everything in between (if they remember it at all). In a move that felt a little like “playing with their food”, Tampa Bay ran old friend Griffin Jax […]

While we may see the 2022 version of Shane McClanahan back on the mound for the Rays, with every start he makes following a two-year absence riddled with injuries, the electric southpaw appears more and more like his old self. Today was no exception as he took home his second win of the season and […]
The Twins were drubbed 6-1, nearly taking in their first shutout loss of 2026, but regardless marking their eighth loss in the last nine ballgames, and exacerbating the absolute morale tailspin that Minnesota has found themselves in during the back half of April. A bizarre first inning opened with a ghost-timeout that required something akin […]
First Pitch: 3:10 pm CDTTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN / WCCO 830 / The Wolf 102.9 FM / Audacy The Minnesota Twins. Ever heard of em? An early start to the season means that it can be game 27 and still only be April. We’re at the point of the season where the oft-cited “small sample size” begins to stretch […]
Through the first 8 innings, this was a fun game to watch if you opted for staying in tonight to watch a great slate of games and putting off the social schedule for tomorrow. This was a game where all aspects of the Rays were functioning as we would like to see on a nightly […]
Against an opposing pitcher who’s been one of the best in the AL the last several years, you need your starter to be really sharp — Taj Bradley was doing kinda OK until he wasn’t — and you need your hitters to take advantage of opportunities when they arise. These Twins were terrible at the […]

Meet the Mets It wasn’t the sharpest game of baseball, but the Mets won their second-straight game by beating the Twins 10-8. Choose your recap: Amazin’ Avenue, MLB.com, Newsday, New York Daily News, New York Post Before the game, the Mets got bad news, as Francisco Lindor is expected to miss significant time because of […]
It wasn’t pretty, but the Mets managed to win another game, topping the Twins in their series finale 10-8. Christian Scott was poor and the bullpen coughed a lead up late, but the Mets offense – largely dormant for the past three weeks – finally woke up and scored enough to cover for the poor […]
