The Twins signed veteran right-hander Adam Plutko to a minor league contract, per the team’s transaction log at MLB.com. The CAA client will presumably head to Triple-A St.
For years in Minnesota, the catching position was the strongest on the roster.
The Diamondbacks have had a below-average relief group through the season’s first month. They entered play Thursday ranked 20th in ERA (4.34) and 28th in strikeout rate (18.7 percent).
Because I am here to satisfy your deepest fashion wants and desires.
OK, I’ll bite. What are Twins shortalls?
They’re overalls, but with shorts on the bottom instead of full-length pants. Many decades ago, they were generally little boys’ clothes (JFK’s son John Jr. wore them). Recently, they’ve become something of a fashion item, I understand.
How weird. Why do you have them?
Because they were free, and I rarely turn down free promo stuff.
Is there a whole “Daisy Duke”...
To kick off the 2024 campaign, the Minnesota Twins were off to a 7-13 start before an astounding 10-game win streak, their first since 2008, shot them back up the totem pole in the American League Central.

What else was I supposed to watch while Victory Sports One died a slow death?
At times here on Twinkie Town I’ve discussed my parallel fandom of the Minnesota Vikings. Sometimes football pulls slightly ahead—but baseball always resurfaces.
Yet, my MN sports devotion has never bled into the Minnesota Wild or Minnesota Timberwolves. On the hockey side I know why—a video of my fawn-legged ice skating routine from childhood is a staple of...

“Do we call this a ‘Bo Derek’?” We do now.
(thanks to Minnesota1952 for providing the bank head — it’s like COTG, but better!)
Hey, how did Chicago die?
Thwarting nine tries, we beat those teams.
(The poor batting teams.)
We had ‘em quick and dead, and luck came
At the field and plate too
(And that’s rad!)
And we were plating many bushels of runs
MLB umpire Rob Drake tried to hustle an injured Byron Buxton off the field.
Well, another television provider has allowed their rights contract with Diamond Sports Group (Bally Sports) expire. So this afternoon, when thousands of Comcast Xfinity customers try to turn on Bally Sports North across the state of Minnesota and the surrounding area so they can watch their red-hot Minnesota Twins… they will not see the game.
The Twins announced Wednesday that they’ve selected the contract of right-hander Caleb Boushley from Triple-A St. Paul. Southpaw Kody Funderburk was optioned to St.

Can the sausage bring the streak to double digits?
First Pitch: 1:10The meatings shall continue until morale improves.
Rockin’, rockin’ and rollin’,
Up to the plate I’m strollin’
‘Cause I’m eager, pokin’ that ball, uh-huh,
It’s a meat log: (mm!)
Sausage now!
Mm ah, mm-mm-mm...
Most of Bailey Ober's pitches failed him in his first start of the season. Since then, the Minnesota Twins right-hander has been effective thanks to one: his changeup.

The Twins lineup’s timely hitting led to them winning their ninth straight game.
It was a back and forth battle but in the end the Twins had the last blow as they put together their 9th consecutive win.
The White Sox got the game’s first run in the 3rd inning, as Eloy Jimenez’s single scored Tommy Pham from 2nd. In the 4th, the Sox loaded the bases with 2 outs and Pham hit a ball to Carlos Santana at 1st,...

A strong team pitching performance + late bats equal an eighth straight win
The Minnesota Twins only had two hits entering the ninth inning, but a strong pitching performance from Joe Ryan and the bullpen meant that they still had a chance to win with the heart of the lineup coming up. And that’s exactly what happened.

Folks, the Chicago White Sox are still pretty bad.
Once again, we are only a week removed from our last preview, so be sure to check that one out for everything you need to know from the South Siders. In the meantime, a few updated stats, and small insights from the last week in Chicago.
