Twins 5, Angels 2: Bailey neat, bullpen on the rocks in nervous Twins victory

What was a pretty easygoing game became... much less so.

One of the best starts of Bailey Ober’s young career suddenly got REALLY STRESSFUL when he left, with a stressed Twins bullpen giving Anaheim fans every chance to get excited. Rather mostly through blind BAbip luck, Minnesota pulled it off, and have their first five-game winning streak of the...

Mike Trout: good. Everyone else: bad.

Anaheim is a wonderful city with a beautiful ballpark, near-perfect weather year-round, and a bad baseball team that has wasted the careers of two of the best players in MLB history. Can’t have everything, I suppose.

They lost their crown jewel in two-time MVP Shohei Ohtani, who made his way up the 5 to play for the Dodgers, but Mike Trout is healthy and hitting like it’s 2017 again. Let’s get into it....

A Mad Men-inspired trip down Twins advertising memory lane

In between work hours, travel to other ballparks, and existential crises over a slow Minnesota Twins start to 2024, I’ve recently begun a full series re-watch of Mad Men—one of my all-time favorite shows. As I watch Don Draper and his gang of caddish day-drinkers sell the American Dream, it got me thinking about the best Twins commercials.

From the early 2000s to the first few years of...

Thanks, White Sox!

This series couldn’t come at a better time for the Twins as they continued to take advantage of one of the worst teams in the league. After getting dominated and mounting a late comeback yesterday, the Twins got to starter Garret Crochet early and never looked back.

Christian Vázquez got the scoring started for Minnesota on a bloop hit single to right with runners at second and third, bringing in Carlos Santana. Willi Castro...

Gleeman: Twins’ Morale is Bad Right Now

Heading into the 2024 season, fans of the Minnesota Twins knew they didn’t have a team ready to compete for a World Series, but most felt this ballclub was still good enough to win the AL Central easily.

The Twins Need More Than Just Health From Byron Buxton

The Minnesota Twins have gotten off to a rather disappointing start this season. That is thanks in large part to the sheer number of injuries the team has suffered to key players.

Twins 6, White Sox 5: Kirilloff walks off the White Sox

Matt Blewett-USA TODAY Sports

It didn’t look good at times, but the Twins pulled through in the end, walking off the White Sox.

This game was a true roller coaster. Max Kepler got the Twins on the board first with a single that scored Trevor Larnach. That’s the only run the Twins would get until the 7th, as White Sox starter Erick Fedde settled in for 6 innings of 1-run baseball, striking out 11 along the way.

Meanwhile, Pablo Lopez went to work on the White Sox lineup, tossing three...
