The Twins struck first in this game with a Luke Keaschall single scoring Byron Buxton from 2nd. There was a tag play at the plate and he was initially called out but replay overturned it, putting the Twins up 1-0. In the 3rd, Buxton would make it 2-0 with a solo shot to left. In […]

After last night’s abysmal start from Garrett Crochet in which he only went 1.2 innings, the Red Sox middle relief is taxed. As a result, they had to make the following roster move today, which lands Jack Anderson in a big league uniform for the first time: Ideally, Boston won’t need the middle relief tonight […]
The Yankees nearly lost a prime candidate for dumbest game of the year on Monday, but they managed to flip the script and end up on the winning end thanks to a game-tying Trent Grisham two-run shot in the ninth (his second bomb of the night) and a wild pitch that brought José Caballero home […]
With the Red Sox having some momentum after winning two straight and four of their last five games, they gave the ball to Garrett Crochet last night. He was facing a Minnesota Twins lineup that recently beat up on Tarik Skubal and Framber Valdez, and turned in the worst performance of his career: an 11-run, […]
The Red Sox lost to the Twins 11-6 on Monday, a Crochet Day. They were down 11-0 before the second inning was over and got some runs after that, but it was plenty over by then. It was bad. It was very bad. It was abysmal. The end.
Is this my most strained pun headline yet? Most likely. Also, please don’t crochet your socks. That’s just asking for blisters. After chasing Tarik Skubal and Framber Valdez early last week, tonight they ambushed 2025 AL Cy Young runner-up Garrett Crochet for 11 runs in the first two innings. To say the lineup has come […]
First Pitch (CT): 6:40 PMTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN/830 WCCO/102.9 The Wolf /Audacy AppKnow Yo’ Foe: Over the Monster You’re not going to believe this, but the Twins are facing a left-handed starter once again. Even more suprising: it’s once again one of the best starters in the sport. The good news is the Twins have already […]
After a ruff start, the Sox are still a sad 6-9 but are only two games out of first place. Tonight, we ball behind Garrett Crochet to help close that gap in a wide-open AL East (and AL in general). Game’s at 7:40 p.m. and the Sox will face Bailey Ober, who’s had a tuff […]
After taking two-of-three from the St. Louis Cardinals, the Red Sox are 6-9, just two games out of first place in the AL East. Ditto a Wild Card spot. Their run differential is zero. The offense has scored 62 runs, third in the division after Tampa Bay (70) and New York (65). The pitching is […]
The 2026 MLB season has had a very weird start. Many good teams — including the Cubs — are off to mediocre starts. In fact, other than the 11-4 Dodgers, the other 29 teams all have records between 10-6 and 6-10 entering Monday’s action: 10-6: Braves, Padres9-6: Pirates9-7: Guardians, Twins, Reds, Diamondbacks8-7: Orioles, Yankees, Rays, […]
Hello and happy Monday, folks. Hope your weekend went well; I was able to wear a t-shirt for the first time outside since, like, 2011. The Red Sox will be going for their first three-game winning streak of the season tonight in the land of 10,000 lakes, as the Minnesota Twins will be hosting us […]
As the game thread intro indicated today, the Minnesota Twins historically do not fare well against the previous year’s American League champions. Fortunately, they were able to flip the script this afternoon against veteran starter Max Scherzer and take the rubber match in Toronto against the Blue Jays. Twins SP Taj Bradley was extremely shaky […]

Game three of three with the Twins. Yesterday, I mentioned driving to Minneapolis , that we were slowed at the border. Because of sitting at the border for two hours and kind of being mentally tired after the grillign, we didn’t get as far afterwards as we hoped. We ended up stopping at Minot, North […]
The Detroit Tigers came into the weekend riding a five-game losing streak, including a four-game sweep at the Minnesota Twins. On Sunday, with their ace on the mound, the team has a chance to complete their reversal of fortune by sweeping the Miami Marlins at home. AJ Hinch’s squad took the first two games of […]
The Twins bounced back in decisive fashion on Saturday afternoon, riding a wonderful start from Joe Ryan and an early crooked number to best the Toronto Blue Jays by a 7-4 final, and even the series at a game apiece. Early momentum was not in Minnesota’s favor; after allowing 10 unanswered runs in the series […]
Game two of three with the Twins. I’ve been to games in Minnesota, I really liked the town. The ‘big mall’ on the other hand was ugly. And I found out that, if you are in Fargo, doing the accent they use in the movie Fargo doesn’t go over big. But the downtown area is […]
First Pitch: 2:07 pm CDTTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN / WCCO 830 / The Wolf 102.9 FM / Audacy Not only did the Twins blow a 4-0 lead last night in what looked like a morale-boosting, streak-extending win against a top-tier opponent, but they also officially lost two players, as Royce Lewis and Cody Laweryson hit the IL. It’s the […]
Well, things were looking good for Twins starter Simeon Woods-Richardson until a Roman servant whispered in his ear “all glory is fleeting,” and the Bad Mojo spread through the bullpen like bedbugs in a bad motel. Ouch! Inning-by-inning notes: 1: Austin Martin singles and scores; Luke Keaschall beats out a single of his own. Bringing […]
Been a while since we had a fun one, but the vibes may have turned. Patrick Corbin does not look like the answer to their rotation problems, but just about everyone else did their job. The offence was undaunted by a four run hole, racking up nine extra base hits (14 total) against just four […]
Game one of three with the Twins in Toronto. It is a City Connects game, so we’ll get to see the CC jerseys (like it or not). I’m still in Japan. If all goes as planned, we should be in Kobe. I’m hoping to get a dinner of Kobe beef at some point this trip, […]

This is of course no surprise after the ugly collision between Riley Greene and center fielder Parker Meadows in Thursday’s loss to the Minnesota Twins. Meadows and Greene appeared to clip heads as the latter settled under a Josh Bell fly ball at Target Field in the 8th inning. Greene was able to protect himself […]
It was a quiet day around baseball and particularly in the Yankees’ dugout, the Bombers getting one-hit to lose the rubber match against the Athletics, 1-0, with hardly a whimper of protest. There were only five other games around the league on this sleepy Thursday, and only one we’ll cover today for Rivalry Roundup, the […]
