Oh where, oh where has 2023 gone…
The 2023 Minnesota Twins season will always represent a peak moment in my fandom. After 2022’s epic collapse, the ‘23 squad re-grouped to take the division and win a playoff series for the first time in two decades. Truly a great time to be a Twins fan. One of the key components of that turnaround? […]
White Sox 6, Twins 2: A screeching halt
After exciting rookie Kendry Rojas got scratched from his start with elbow soreness (sigh), Simeon Woods Richardson (sigh, again) stepped in for a spot start which went about as well as expected. Also bad for the Twins, they were facing current AL Cy Young candidate Davis Martin (triple sigh). Let’s get into it. Woods Richardson […]

Twins 5, White Sox 3: Brooks Lee sinks Sox in extras
It was a pitching duel tonight with the starters Joe Ryan and Sean Burke exchanging zeros for the first 3 innings before the Twins scored first in the 4th. Trevor Larnach started things off with a double, then Kody Clemens drove him in with a triple. A single by Austin Martin scored Clemens to give […]

White Sox 3, Twins 1: Bats take a Memorial Day nap
Fresh off the Twins first sweep in Boston in nearly a century and back in playoff position, the Twins came into Chicago looking to keep the momentum going in a battle of two (somewhat surprising) playoff spot holders. Unfortunately, the bats didn’t hold up their after yet another strong performance from Minnesota’s makeshift pitching staff. […]

Monday Morning Minnesota: The “Back to Our Winning Ways” Edition
Before we start with our usual fanfare, we do want to thank the men and women who have sacrificed their lives for this country to allow us to enjoy things like Memorial Day Weekend. The week started auspiciously with Royce Lewis getting sent to St. Paul and ended with a sweep of the Red Sox. […]
Twins 6, Red Sox 5: Tarps off, brooms out!
Based on the forecast when this holiday weekend began, it did not look like baseball would be played this Sunday afternoon. But with the rain hewing closing to drizzle than downpour, “play ball!” was called! “Tarps off”, as the kids would say. It proved to be a good development for the Minnesota Twins, who swept […]

Twins 4, Red Sox 2: Phew
The Twins have won five of their last six series after bringing home a near-heartbreaker on Saturday afternoon, 4-2 over the Boston Red Sox. It was another great early start for the Twins, who knocked around opener Jovani Moran with a two-run first, logging hits in each of their first three at-bats, and seeing RBIs […]
Game 52: Twins at Red Sox
First Pitch: 3:10 pm CDTTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN / WCCO 830 / The Wolf 102.9 FM / Audacy I’m not really sure why I’m more optimistic right now about the 2026 Twins than I have been at any point of the season so far. My best guess is that, by all accounts, the team is not as catastrophically bad […]
Twins 8, Red Sox 6: It’s an actual comeback win the bullpen held?
In the battle of Two Struggling Teams with Two Rookie Starters, it seemed like the Sox had the edge with Fenway mystique intimidating Connor Prielipp… until the Twins got to a Red Sox bullpen that had been pretty good so far this year. Inning-by-inning notes: 1: I mentioned that rookie Payton Tolle was a pretty […]

The Twins were sinking in May 2006
After an up-and-down start to the 2006 campaign, the Minnesota Twins hoped to settle in and recapture the AL Central crown. Alas, through May and into one fateful June night in the Pacific Northwest, the endeavor looked more bottoming-out than regrouped-contender. Heading into a Twinkie Town After Dark ™ contest with the Seattle Mariners on […]

Astros 2, Twins 1: Zebby solid, bats stone cold
Zebby Matthews got off to a shaky start tonight, with a Jeremy Pena single and Isaac Paredes 2-run homer. However, after that, he settled into things and was able to go 6 innings, scattering 5 hits and striking out 6 along the way. All he needed was the Twins lineup to give him a modicum […]

To make space on the 40-man roster, reliever Justin Topa was designated for […]
Twins 6, Astros 3: Two hours later…
It was a stormy night in Minneapolis and no one from Cory Provus to the players on the field thought this game was going to go a full nine innings. The field was a mess, Astros shorstop Jeremy Peña turned the field into his personal slip-n-slide, but no one, and I mean NO ONE, was […]
Game 48: Astros at Twins
After fracturing his ankle in batting practice, Carlos Correa does not make his big return, but he’ll be felt in spirit. We’ll have to settle for Christian Vazquez instead. Today was originally Simeon Woods Richardson’s turn through the rotation, but after a disastrous start to the season, manager Derek Shelton will go with rookie Kendry […]
Monday Morning Minnesota: The “Austin Martin Leadoff Experiement” Edition
The Twins had a 3-3 week (stop me if you’ve heard this before), taking a 2-1 series against the Marlins, which included an incredible Bailey Ober “Maddux”, and then dropping two games to the Brewers during “Rivalry Weekend” in the MLB. We might have seen the last of Matt Wallner in a Twins uniform after […]
