The rare combination of extraordinary talent AND natural leadership

(Author’s Note: This post was written before Royce Lewis exited last Tuesday night’s contest with multiple ailments. His postseason status is now TBD.

The Hunter Greene vs Royce Lewis debate will have to wait.

It was the Hunter Greene Show in Cincinnati today, but the Twins were able to put together one of their most impressive rallies of the season to come back and win.

With Carlos Correa and Royce Lewis hurt, and Matt Wallner and Alex Kirilloff getting off days, the Twins didn’t have their best lineup, perfectly setting the table for Greene to have a career day.

Will Jhoan Duran’s Resurgence Extend Into the Postseason?

The Minnesota Twins entered the 2023 season with one of baseball’s most talented young relievers. Jhoan Duran switched from the rotation to the bullpen to start the 2022 season and produced Pitching Ninja highlights in nearly every appearance.

Ailing Twins aim to capture series vs. Reds

When Minnesota Twins manager Rocco Baldelli returns from paternity leave, he might do a double-take when he sees the left side of his infield. For the second game in a row since the Twins landed in Cincinnati, one of their infielders left with an injury on Tuesday.

What Would the Twins Look Like If Royce Lewis Never Got Hurt?

Twins, potentially without Carlos Correa, prepare for Reds

With the Minnesota Twins well on their way to their third division title in five seasons, dropping the series opener to the host Cincinnati Reds on Monday paled in comparison to a potentially bigger loss along the way.
