Game 81: Dodgers at Twins

The Dodgers will trot out […]
Dodgers 2, Twins 1: Forgot to pack the runs
It’s a big night when the reigning champs come to town. Anthony Banda got his championship ring, the Target Field concessions workers went on strike, and Zebby Matthews got to remind everyone that his real, government registered name is Zebulon. Unfortunately, it appears they forgot the bag labeled “runs” back in Phoenix as there was […]
Game 80: Dodgers at Twins

However, because it’s baseball, even the best are fallible and while the Dodgers’ do have the […]
Monday Morning Minnesota: The “In Buck We Trust” Edition
Summer has officially started, and the Twins are feeling hot, with a 5-1 record last week! A sweep against the Rangers and a 2-1 series win over the Diamondbacks that was filled with homers and runs galore put the team at 38-41, only 3.5 games out of the AL Central lead behind two teams in […]
Twins 4, Diamondbacks 2: The old Bell and chain
(to match the theme with Zach’s anthem, here’s another song that was performed on Family Guy) Well, the series began with the very first game:The win was Arizona’s;And the series went on with a second game rout,A kick to their cojones.And the series concludes with the third time around,Pitching all right, hitting resound,Not a chance […]

Twins 16, Diamondbacks 8: The Beautiful Game
In the dumbest Twins game any of us will see all year, the Twins jumped out to your classic 16-0, fifth-inning lead, then handed the ball over to the bullpen to drag us kicking and screaming towards a finish line placed just ahead of 12:30 am CT. You’ve maybe never seen a former All-Star become […]
Diamondbacks top Twins 9 to 5: It’s a way to stop the winnin’
Both starter Connor Prielipp and reliever Travis Adams were doing alright… until they weren’t. Some bad defense didn’t help, either! Inning-by-inning notes: 1: Oops Byron. We still love you, but oops. He hits one to left and admires it for a sec; it hits the wall and THEN Bux turns on the speed. He’s thrown […]
Game 78: Twins at Diamondbacks
First Pitch: 9:10 pm CDTTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN / WCCO 830 / The Wolf 102.9 FM / Audacy I’m a sucker for Weird Baseball, so anytime the Twins are on a west coast trip and we get those beautiful 9:00 pm start times, the odds of bizarre vibes and midnight local baseball go ratcheting right up. Cheers […]

Thank you, Byron Buxton
I generally don’t like to repeat post topics—one of the great things about baseball being the endless opportunities for new stories or discussions. But after extolling the virtues of Byron Buxton at the end of the 2025 season, I am compelled to do the same at this juncture. In recent seasons, Twins fans have been […]
Twins 9, Rangers 3: Bullpen gives it their all (to try and lose the game)
The Minnesota Twins looked to secure their third series sweep of the season, this time in Arlington against the Texas Rangers. The Twins offense continued their being hot from Tuesday night and the bullpen didn’t screw it up too much while the Rangers made a valiant effort. The game started off on the right foot […]

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 […]
