Somebody Save Me: The 2026 Twins have already set a franchise RP record
My college journalism courses taught me to never bury the lede of a story. Sorry, University of Minnesota-Morris English profs—but I’m going to do just that here in pursuit of dramatic effect. The 2026 Minnesota Twins bullpen has set a franchise record in the realm of saves. Before the big reveal, let’s take a brief […]
Tigers 11, Twins 0: You didn’t really miss anything, trust me
The Minnesota Twins were probably looking to end this stretch against American League Central opponents on a high note by taking the rubber match against the Detroit Tigers. However, the Tigers came out swinging early and often against Zebby Matthews, and… well… if you were planning to write home about this game, I wouldn’t. Detroit […]

Kaelen Culpepper: It Is Time
The Kaelen Culpepper hype train is full speed ahead right now. The Twins have lost 10 of their last 14 while getting very little production out of the shortstop position, both offensively and defensively. Meanwhile, Culpepper just keeps getting better and better this season. He’s batting .357 with a 1.062 OPS so far in June […]
Twins 6, Tigers 4: Tensely truncate tabby triumph
I took my troubles to the baseball gameUp at the park with the financial name.Strive for a win which we surely wouldn’t mind;Would we have the trouble of blown bullpen in the ninth? We know the Twins have made us flop in grief:They call the ‘pen, but do we get relief?Well, Buxton and Royce hit […]

Tigers 10, Twins 4: Tigers out-slug Twins

Monday Morning Minnesota: The “He’s Back!” Edition
It was another slightly disappointing week, with the Twins splitting a four-game series with the White Sox, and then losing a series to the Royals. The team will now face Detroit and St. Louis this week. Royce Lewis returned to the team on Saturday after lighting up St. Paul with homer after homer, and he […]

Royals 6, Twins 5: Diamond kings trump bullpen jokers
After a devastating blown-save loss yesterday afternoon, today the again Byron Buxton-less Minnesota Twins looked to at least hold serve in this four-game series with the Kansas City Royals. It didn’t happen—and somehow it didn’t happen in exactly the fashion you’d probably expect (terrible bullpen & no offense until it was too late). The homesteaders […]

Royals 3, Twins 2: Blowing it Scott-Style

Twins 5, Royals 3: Gutsy Zebby and Austin’s arm get it done
A less-controlled-than-usual Matthews manages to last longer than we (or I) expected, and he’s helped by some Cuddyer/Rosario-style cannon shots from the outfield. Inning-by-inning notes: (Rain Delay): Hey, remember when rain delays might have Kris Atteberry interviewing a baseball book author or something interesting like that? No. It’s a 1991 game. I like hearing Herb […]
The Legend of Pat Dean
Every Minnesota Twins season, there’s a player who shines for a period of time and then is never memorably heard from again. Think Scott Diamond in 2012, Chris Colabello’s 2014 RBI binge, Michael Restovich winning a wild one in 2003, or Michael Ryan whipping the White Sox to end ‘03. With the way 2016 had […]

Royals 8, Twins 6: Sign o’ the Times
Prince Night at Target Field included some back-and-forth scoring, some back-and-forth circus baseball, and a rain delay. If the production crew didn’t play Purple Rain during the delay, then they should be fired. Seth Lugo faced off for the Kansas City Royals against the Minnesota Twins’ bullpen to start off this contest. Everything kicked off […]

Twins 6, White Sox 4: Twins come back and hold on for the win
The White Sox got on the board first in this game, with assistance from the Twins catcher.

The St. Paul Fire Department
It goes without saying that the Twins’ bullpen is in need of some juice. They have seemingly found a few strong building blocks, including Yoendrys Gomez, who has been a revelation for this team after the Twins pulled him out of thin air. Others have done enough to keep the team afloat, but the bullpen […]
