Recap Jovani Moran had the responsibility to keep the Twins in check for the first inning in order to provide a soft landing for Brayan Bello in his bulk-pitching era. Well, today wasn’t that day: Moran allowed hits to the first three Twins batters, then a run-scoring sacrifice fly immediately after that. Despite needing all […]
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 […]
The Kansas City Royals sit at 20-30 with nine losses in their last ten games, and Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco are not here to sugarcoat it. This episode of the Royals Rundown Podcast takes an unflinching look at a team that has the talent to compete but has struggled to put it together consistently […]
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 […]
Hold onto your hats (and your hearts) folks. We have Jovani Moran on the mound to start, who’ll soon make way for Brayan Bello. Bello has been good in two relief/opener outings with this guardrail in place but with an overall 2-5 record, a 7.15 ERA, and a WHIP of 1.80, he feels like a […]
Worcester: L, 1-12 (BOX SCORE) The Red Wings (Nationals AAA) had the WooSox’s number for the duration of the night, as only two Worceter batters recorded a hit (Matt Lloyd and Braiden Ward.) But it wouldn’t have mattered anyway. Jack Anderson got shelled, allowing six runs off nine hits including two home runs, both in […]
Chad Tracy stepped into this role with an interesting résumé. Years developing hitters in the Red Sox minor league system, building lineups with pieces that weren’t quite ready for prime time. Now he’s doing it in the majors, where the margin for error is different and the stakes are real. The early returns: 23 games, […]
Studs Peyton Tolle (6.0 IP, 3 ER, 2 BB, 9 Ks) Look, did Tolle have a rough second inning? For sure. But this was a truly professional outing for Tolle that he hunkered down and put down Twin after Twin through the remaining four frames. For a young starter, this is the growth you want […]
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 […]
Time: 6:10 Central Weather: Partly sunny, 59° Opponent’s SB site: Over The Monster TV: Twins TV. Radio: To be a BoSox broadcaster, do you have to have that stereotypical accent? I’m asking, I do not know The Red Sox have not had the start they hoped for, at 22-27. Why? Is God finally sick of […]
These teams honestly could be twins this seasons…almost identical records, not great offenses, stuck in weird places. Still, these Minnesota Twins shouldn’t be taken lightly, as the funniest man on the team takes the mound for the Sox tonight! Welcome to the long weekend for Memorial Day! ⚾️ First Pitch: 7:10pm — Fenway Park, Boston, […]
The first matchup of the Red Sox and Twins, in Minnesota, was memorable for two things: Garrett Crochet getting hit so hard he’d eventually land on the IL, and the big breakout (of 2026) for Connelly Early. As they flew home to host the Tigers, the Red Sox stood at a 7-11 record, the opposite […]
Rochester Red Wings 9, Worcester Red Sox 4 (BOX) The Woo Sox used up all of their firepower in the first inning on Thursday night against the Red Wings (WAS). Anthony Siegler’s three-run double, and Allan Castro’s RBI single gave Worcester a 4-0 lead after one, before Rochester got the final nine runs. Primarily a […]
Back in February, ZiPS projections were posted, and they did not have a single Red Sox player reaching the 20 home run threshold. Twitter/X got a hold of this and ran with it, becoming an easy talking point for those who felt that Craig Breslow’s offseason effort to fix the power in the lineup fell […]
Marcus Rashford has sent his thanks to Hansi Flick and Barcelona after being named in the England squad for World Cup 2026. The Manchester United loanee missed out on Euro 2024 with the Three Lions but is back in favor after a strong season at Camp Nou. He’s taken to Instagram after Thomas Tuchel named […]
The Red Sox are certainly not back yet, but at least the brand of baseball is improving. Boston swept the Kansas City Royals and finished a road trip (with multiple series) with a winning record for the first time this season. The Red Sox are 22-27 and keep creeping closer to .500, not that that […]
The Yankees initially decided to bring in Paul Goldschmidt ahead of the 2025 campaign to be their first baseman. Throughout the first couple months, the signing was a coup, as he hit a scalding .338/.394/.495 with a 148 wRC+. Plenty of folks in the Yankees’ orbit thought that he had found the Fountain of Youth. […]
After throwing two simulated innings yesterday in a bullpen session, injured Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet has declared himself free of the shoulder inflammation that landed him on the IL. That’s great! What’s less great is that he also declared that his mechanics are out of whack. Crochet will take a few days off, throw […]
For better, for worse, for discourse, we saw our first “piggyback” start Tuesday night. Bryce Miller, in his second appearance back from a stint on the IL, carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning versus the White Sox, looking much more 2024 than 2025. Castillo came in and gave two solid innings of relief before […]
Here’s a pair of conflicting thoughts I believe to my core: As a baseball fan, I don’t know how to feel about this. Baseball’s a sport that’s supposed to be about measuring greatness over 162 games, and it’s becoming less and less about that with each passing year. Personally, I find the addition of the […]
Worcester: L, 2-7 (F/11) (BOX SCORE) This game fell apart in extras, namely the eleventh, and to be honest, the WooSox should have had it won earlier than that. The pitching was solid throughout the night, starting with Jake Bennett striking out eleven Red Wings (Nationals AAA) and allowing one run. Bennett’s pitch count was […]
The Royals were swept at home by the Red Sox, they’ve lost 9 of their last 10 games now, writes Jaylon Thompson. “People are frustrated, sure,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. “I mean, we don’t come out here and lose games and walk away feeling good about it. “I mean, there’s no chance of that. […]
The Phillies finally had their streak of six straight series wins snapped yesterday with their loss in the rubber match with the Reds. Their turnaround since Don Mattingly took over as manager has been impressive, but they were bound to run into a dud of a series at some point. The important part will be […]
Salvador Perez got the Royals an early lead against Connelly Early by pulling the ball straight down the left field line and into the seats. Exiting the first, Kansas City was up 1 to 0. That lead did not last long. The top of the second was a long one for Michael Wacha. A leadoff […]
The Red Sox earned just their third win of the season when trailing after six innings. The rare clutch comeback helped Boston sweep the Kansas City Royals with a 4-3 victory. A quality start from Connelly Early and a late swing from a hot bat delivered the clincher. Here’s three takeaways from Wednesday’s series finale. […]
