Twins Bomba Squad their way to 9-3 win

Brian Bradshaw Sevald-USA TODAY Sports

It was a Battle At The Bat Rack as everybody wanted a chance at Detroit’s depleted pitching staff.

Detroit’s pitching injuries meant that they had two Bullpen Games in the last four days. They needed rookie Keider Montero to eat some innings. He didn’t. The Twins had 13 hits, four walks, and four dingers.

Meanwhile, Pablo López needed to continue the mojo of last Saturday’s strong start. He did!

It was too early for true TwinkieTown...

Trade Deadline Primer, Part 2: Relief Pitchers

The Twins likely won’t be trading for a reliever, but here’s some good options if they do.

Given the oft-reported payroll constraints the Twins will be facing at the deadline, I don’t think it’s very likely there’s a reliever worth trading for at the deadline. Let’s get that part of the way first. However, that’s also a testament to the relative strength of the bullpen, even after Jhoan Duran and Griffin Jax have struggled in the past...

A-Rod & Tek go at it and rekindle baseball’s greatest rivalry

I consider 2004 to be one of the most magical baseball summers of my life. While the Minnesota Twins going 92-70 to capture the AL Central crown certainly played a large role in that, the fabled rivalry between the New York Yankees & Boston Red Sox began to take center stage after the All-Star Break.

Because 2004 is now two decades in the rear view mirror, younger Twinkie Town fans may not recall the...

Twins 5, Phillies 4: Festa-val of lights

The Twins come back in the final three frames!

Well it’s not that fun or very nice
To watch a losing team;
We need a win today we can celebrate
And watch our faces beam.
Can we do it? It’s unbearable:
Guess we’ll wait and see,
Believing.

Wallner’s long homer will never land,
The Twins are up again.
And David Festa’s four and a third in hand;
Two early STUDly men.
But the stress remains unbearable:
Still we wait and see,
Believing.

Trailing,
Worried to...

Game like any other, trying so hard just to play,
But one day after another, never sent into the fray.
Knowing you’re on the team, but on the bench incessantly
Makes you feel like a zero, a somber depressant gloomy.

We want to ball,
Swing the bat and hear the call.
But one man at the...
