An online community of Twins fans mourning the death of Prince Rogers Nelson.
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 […]
The Twins got on the board early in this game, but not with the need of bats. In the 2nd inning, after Victor Caratini singled, Kody Clemens singled and moved to 2nd after Caratini tried going 1st to 3rd and was thrown out. Clemens would later score on a throwing error by Salvador Perez in […]

Cole Ragans is a formidable foe, garnering Cy Young votes a couple of years ago but battled injuries in 2025. However, […]
Standin’ in the rain, in a frigid pour;Couldn’t start the hittin’; it was a wretched score.There at Kauffman was loud, from the bleachers they scream;KCR gave their all, they’ve got a better team.It was one to twelve, just blew us away;There were stars on the rise, but not for Minny today: They came to beat […]

Over the past 24 hours, two top-50 MLB prospects have agreed to major contract extensions before playing a game. Infielder Colt Emerson of the Seattle Mariners agreed to an eight year, $95M contract with a team option on year nine and escalators the can max the contract out at $130M. Fellow infielder Cooper Pratt is […]
After showing some good life in games two and three against the Orioles, the bats fell silent once again with left-handed Kris Bubic on the mound. For seemingly the 10th season in a row, the Twins simply can’t manage to string together any offense left-handed starting pitchers. The Twins had some early traffic with a […]
Is Royce Lewis fixed? Who knows for sure, but he at least looks the part, with two homers over the weekend against the Orioles. The Twins dropped two out of three, but looked relatively competitive in each game. The pitching is still suspect, and the bats have still been relatively quiet, but we’re at least […]

Despite collecting twelve hits and plating six runs, the Minnesota Twins could not finish off an Opening Series victory in Baltimore this afternoon. Battles against the robots (ABS) and a shaky appearance from Mick Abel were the primary culprits in defeat. Twins bats quickly built a second-inning rally: Matt Wallner 1B, Josh Bell HBP (Wally […]

The Twins only tallied four hits — fewer than in their season-opening loss — but were able to manufacture four runs against the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday afternoon. Combined with a strong performance from Shelton’s Magical Arm Barn, and Minnesota was able to earn their first win of the 2026 season, a 4-1 victory that […]

In 2023 and 2025, it delayed Minnesota’s early-season chances to prove that the bad breaks of […]
OK, first things first. My predecessor at TwinkieTown, RandBall’s Stu, would occasionally do a post called a Hosken Powell Memorial Link Dump. Stu uses humor, and what made the title funny is that Hosken Powell, although not a particularly memorable Twins player, was not dead. He was alive and well. (I did a Glen Powell […]
A few positives came from 2026 Opening Day for the Minnesota Twins: the starter was sharp, they showed some aggressiveness on the base paths, and Byron Buxton collected a big hit. But the Twins simply were not able to successfully sequence enough safeties off Baltimore Orioles hurlers to plate more than one run in a […]

Results Our final memorable Twins moment comes to us, fittingly, from just last season. In a rough year for Twins Territory, Byron Buxton was perhaps the one-and-only shining star. Never more than on this day… Per famous philosophizer Porky Pig: “Th-th-th-that’s all, folks!” Hopefully both a fun and at least somewhat accurate-if-subjective look at this […]
