Giants 5, Twins 2: Sleepy baseball
Well, after making fun of the makeup of the Giants’ current roster in my game thread, it’s only fitting that the Twins blew this one. That’s baseball for you. Zebby Matthews was on the mound for the Twins and was less sharp after a silencing the Yankees his last time out. It was a rough […]
Game 157: Twins at Giants
First Pitch (CT): 8:45 PMTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN/830 WCCO/102.9 The Wolf /Audacy AppKnow Yo’ Foe: McCovey Chronicles The Twins were officially eliminated from playoff contention yesterday, but they’ve been emotionally eliminated for a few weeks now. Honestly, being eliminated this late in the game is truly a testament to how milquetoast the entire American League has […]
Monday Morning Minnesota: The “Time To Say Goodbye” Edition
We come to the last week of the season, and the Twins have officially been eliminated from playoff contention and will not be able to finish the season with a winning record. On the bright side, Walker Jenkins figured out major league pitching! The Twins wrap up the season with a series in San Francisco […]
Twins 8, Angels 0: California Beamin’
In a series that previously featured two walk-off wins from the wannabe-Los Angeles Angels, this Sunday gave them the opportunity to continue staving off 100 losses. Instead, Twins OF Alan Roden said “not today, Anaheim!” and almost single-handedly powered the MIN offense to a big victory and drove LAA ever closer to that first triple-digit […]

First Chuck: 3:07 PM (new anthem each week!) The Tube: Twins.TV The Dial: Treasure Island Baseball Network Spies ‘R Us: Crashing The Pearly Gates A few weeks ago, the Twins TV broadcast commented on how manager Derek Shelton trotted the same lineup out to the umpires for five consecutive contests. In today’s matchup/platoon-heavy baseball environment, […]
Angels 6, Twins 5: Mostly Dead
The Twins made their remaining loyal contingent suffer through a blown lead and another loss in extra frames, as the Angels took the third game of the series. Walker Jenkins continued his tear, leading off the third inning with a single. This would enable Luke Keaschall to bring him home on a one-out double; Keaschall […]

First Pitch: 8:38 pm CDTTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN / WCCO 830 / The Wolf 102.9 FM / Audacy The kids have been showing out a bit in Anaheim, providing one of the only remaining reasons to watch 2026 Twins baseball as this underwhelming season has normalized itself to fall back in line with preseason projections. Now, […]
Twins 3, Angels 0: Prielipp pitches a gem
Rookie Connor Prielipp faced a struggling team that still has some potent hitters, and turned in the longest start of his young career. While Walker Jenkins continues coming out of his early slump. Inning-by-inning notes: 1: Leadoff target Luke Keaschall is hit by a pitch for the 22nd time this season; it’s a new Twins […]

The 2016 Twins plummeted to new franchise lows by season’s end
The 2016 Minnesota Twins season began with great optimism. It took almost no time at all for such hopefulness to turn horrific: an 0-9 start followed by Total System Failure (TM). No amount of Brian Dozier dingers could fully compensate for RF Miguel Sano & the abject failure of Byung Ho-Park. In the months of […]
Angels 5, Twins 4 (10 inn.): Broken records, and not the good kind
If two teams in the bottom of their respective divisions play a game of baseball, does it really happen? Sorry, that California air is really getting to me. Just kidding, I’m not in California. The Minnesota Twins are there in Anaheim taking on the “Los Angeles” Angels. Stop me if you’ve heard this, but the […]

Emmanuel Rodriguez Has The Makings Of A Major League Star
The long-awaited debut of Emmanuel Rodriguez has finally arrived, and Emma is wasting no time cementing himself as a force in the Twins lineup. Through five games, he is 5-for-19 with a double, triple, and home run. Not only is he producing on the offensive end, but he has already picked up an outfield assist […]

Yankees 8, Twins 1: Yep, that sounds right
With the season basically over, the Twins welcomed the Yankees to Target Field tonight and they lost. End of recap. Okay, I suppose I better write more. Bailey Ober was pretty good tonight. Two of the three runs he gave up came in the first inning on Cody Bellinger’s 16th homer. He ran into some […]

Yankees 8, Twins 3: No Joke(s)
With the Minnesota Twins hosting the New York Yankees tonight, it gives me the opportunity to use one of the few jokes I know (mine being a more dry, sardonic sense of humor): What’s the difference between a Yankees fans and a dentist? One roots for the Yanks—the other yanks for the roots. Make sure […]

Monday Morning Minnesota: The “It’s Dinamita Time!” Edition
The youth movement is continuing to progress, with Emmanuel “Dinamita” Rodriguez making his major league debut this past weekend, hitting a homer in his first big-league at-bat. Unfortunately for Rodriguez, he’s joining the team just as they are all but mathematically eliminated from making it to the playoffs. There’s a chance, but with the way […]
Guardians 9, Twins 2: Looking to 2027
Bad news: the Twins lost. Good news: it doesn’t really matter at this point. While Minnesota’s second half fade has been disappointing, 2026 was always supposed to be a transition season as the kids worked their way up to the MLB squad to make a push for 2027 and beyond. But for now, let’s look […]

As a Skol-a-holic, I am eagerly anticipating the Minnesota Vikings opening up their 2026 campaign by hosting the rival Green […]
Twins 4, Guardians 3: Coming Out Party
That the article editor’s thumbnail selector offered two dozen images of a beaming Emmanuel Rodriguez, smiling as he jogged around the basepaths with his fist in the air, should tell you everything you need to know about the top prospect’s first major-league at-bat. A 2-1 fastball was swiftly deposited 420 into left-center field, tying the […]
Game 148: Guardians at Twins
First Pitch: 3:10 pm CDTTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN / WCCO 830 / The Wolf 102.9 FM / Audacy One of the only redeeming factors of this year’s annual August/September slide is that the youth movement — which in each of the last few seasons has mainly been represented by prospects falling out of relevance or young […]
Guardians 5, Twins 2: Here’s a new one, the bullpen loses
Well, that wasn’t worth staying up for, was it? The Twins walked the leadoff hitter four times, you’re not gonna win too many games that way. Inning-by-inning notes: 1: Taj Bradley decides that walking the very-fast Steven Kwan is a good idea. Hey, it works out; flyout, strikeout, and forcing Jo Adell into Chasing Pavements […]
