Royals 2, Twins 1: Noah’s Arc
This week, my young nephew is attending summer Vacation Bible School. In terms of biblical tales involving heroes, he could have gotten a similar education by flipping on the ballgame tonight and observing Noah Cameron’s mound arc sinking the Minnesota Twins. The starting pitchers—Dean Kremer in his MN debut & Cameron for the Kansas City […]

Grading the Twins’ trade deadline
The Twins came into the trade deadline with three clear goals: improve the bullpen, rotation depth, and find a way to get into the playoffs. With the Tigers, Royals, and Orioles pivoting to sell mode, the path became clearer for GM Jeremy Zoll and owner Tom Pohlad, even if the playoff odds don’t yet reflect […]

Monday Morning Minnesota: The “Going For It” Edition
The Twins actually put their money where their mouth was, making a couple of trades last week that involved sending out prospects to bring in veteran pitching help. AJ Minter and Dean Kremer are the new additions to the squad, and while these aren’t the most earth-shaking transactions, they are something. It remains to be […]
Mariners 7, Twins 6: Breaking Zeus’s Law
In director Christopher Nolan’s epic film The Odyssey—currently still dominating theaters near you—the concept of Zeus’s Law is front and center. It states that hosts must welcome travelers with food and shelter in exchange for similar treatment from others. This weekend, the Seattle Mariners did not observe Zeus’s Law—instead playing the Robert Pattinson role—taking two-of-three […]

Mariners 4, Twins 3: Slow bats, Lewis miscue dooms Twins
What an afternoon. We saw both the best and worst from Twins starter Connor Prielipp, the lineup looked completely dead for half of the game yet again, and a great defensive stop from Royce Lewis at first base actually led to a decision that only comes when you’re new to a position. This one had […]

Twins 5, Mariners 3: Leveling up!
While in Seattle last summer, one thing I noticed at their ballpark was a preponderance of Nintendo advertising—from player sleeves to wall signs to between-inning ads. Well, tonight—okay, now last night—the Minnesota Twins navigated all the platform stages and slid down the flagpole victorious! After Twins’ bats went down 1-2-3 in the top of the […]

The Piranhas are born in July of 2006
After turning their season around in June, the 2006 Minnesota Twins cultivated some of the most iconic moments in franchise history the following month. In a July 24-26 series at the Chicago White Sox, the Twins swept all three from the Pale Hose: 7-4 (12 hits), 4-3 (9 hits), & 7-4 (16 hits). In one […]

Twins 4, Royals 3: Clemens delivers the best and worst win of the season
For eight and two thirds innings AND two strikes of this nine inning game, the Twins looked lifeless, dead, and outclassed by a much inferior Royals squad. To the point that I had a recap completely written and ready to post as soon as the score went final. But Kody Clemens had other plans. Unfortunately, […]

Marek Houston is Breaking Out. How High Can He Go?
When the Twins selected him with the 16th overall pick last July, Marek Houston was seen by most scouts as a lock to stick shortstop with elite defensive talent, but a fringy bat that projects for below average production in the major leagues. Just 27 games into his Double-A tenure, Houston is already producing offense […]
