Marlins 9, Twins 5: Buck trucks twice, Sim gets pummeled
We’ve been going down, going down, going down,So many faces are to blame,And we knew that we’d, knew that we’d, knew that we’d probably suck.Starting Simeon, Simeon, Simeon,Hasn’t yet won a single game,And we knew that we’re, knew that we’re, knew that we’re out of luck.

Twins 3, Marlins 0: Ober tosses a 2-hit Maddux
I don’t even know what to say about this game. We just witnessed Bailey Ober, 88 MPH fastball and all, toss an 89 pitch complete game shutout. He did it using mostly changeups and fastballs, picking up 4 strikeouts and a 43% whiff percentage with the changeup. The only blemishes on his day were singles […]

Monday Morning Minnesota: The “Average Baseball” Edition
The Twins had a 3-3 week, dropping two to the Nats, taking two from the Guardians, and currently sit last in the AL Central with an 18-23 record. First, the good news: after a slow start to the season, Byron Buxton is back to being a menace at the plate. Since April 13, Buxton has […]
Twins 5, Guardians 4: World’s worst bullpen wins bullpen game
Before any game action today, a quick shoutout to all the Moms out there this 2026 Mother’s Day! I just returned from a trip with my mom to see the Twins in Washington, D.C.! I calculated that she has now seen 10 baseball stadiums (one I’ll never get to—Metropolitan Stadium). It probably helps to have […]

Twins 2, Guardians 1 – F/11: Genuinely How
The Twins had two hits in eleven innings and won a baseball game at Progressive Field. Sure, man. Good team or no good team, the Buck Truck keeps rolling, as evidenced by Byron’s leadoff blast to left field in a rain-delayed Saturday night game against the Cleveland Guardians. Buxton’s bomb, his 13th of the year, […]
Game 40: Twins at Guardians
First Pitch: 1:10 pm CDTTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN / WCCO 830 / The Wolf 102.9 FM / Audacy Forty games of baseball is probably “enough” games of baseball to feel like you have a sense of the team you’re watching. After 40 games, my sense is roughly the same as it was after 34 games, when I remarked that […]
Guardians 6, Twins 4: Too little, too late, too Banda, too bad
After a bummer of a first inning, Connor Prielipp settles in nicely and the Twins bumblebat their way into an almost-comeback… until You Know What happens. Inning-by-inning notes: 1: Cleveland with City Connects, and these have a Stoopid Number Font. Stoopid Letter Font, too, but the numbers are worse. Buxton with a leadoff double! Will […]

Early thoughts on the ABS challenge system
In 2022, Major League Baseball introduced the PitchCom system. The baseball world did not end. In 2023, MLB began adhering to a pitch clock. The baseball world did not end. 2023 also brought bigger bases. The baseball world did not end. For a sport that had been ultra-conservative for the vast majority of its existence, […]
Nationals 7, Twins 5: The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess (Simeon Woods Richardson)
I wrote in my preview about Simeon Woods Richardson’s struggles so far this year, and this start was no different. It didn’t matter what pitch he threw, the Nationals saw the ball well, weren’t chasing, and made him work for every one of the few outs he could get. As the titular Chappell Roan once […]
Game 38: Twins at Nationals
First Pitch (CT): 12:05 PMTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN/830 WCCO/102.9 The Wolf /Audacy AppKnow Yo’ Foe: Federal Baseball After what we’ve seen from the Twins’ bullpen of late, we might need a stronger word than “implosion” to describe what’s happening. It’s unlikely to get better today with Simeon Woods Richardson amid arguably the worst stretch of his […]
Nationals 15, Twins 2: Ten off the ‘pen
Well, there’s a tall man on a tall moundPlaying in a tall, crowded park,Starting clean through three, mowing through the whole line;You know his aim is sharp as a shark.But there’s more ballgame and more innings:D.C. bats will all adjust,And they’ll homer deep and they’ll line doubles,And who’ll remember when this game wasn’t bust? Oh, […]

Twins 11, Nationals 3: Bats back Bradley, Buxton bombs
The Nationals got on the board first in this game. After a walk to Daylen Lile, Curtis Mead doubled to make it 2nd and 3rd with just one out. CJ Abrams hit a grounder to Luke Keaschall who tried to get Lile out at the plate, but Lile was too quick, putting them up 1-0. […]

Monday Morning Minnesota: The “If They Knew How Misery Loved the Twins” Edition
The Twins managed to finish the week with a win, splitting a four-game series with the reigning AL Pennant winner, the Toronto Blue Jays. Unfortunately, both Joe Ryan, Cole Sands, Emmanuel Rodriguez, and Walker Jenkins were the new additions to the injury report this week. There had been encouraging signs from the oft-injured Jenkins, as […]
Twins 4, Blue Jays 3: Canada vs. Andrew Morris (& Co.)
The Twins sent Joe Ryan to the bump this morning—the Peacock MLB Sunday Wakeup special—hoping for a series split. He lasted all of two batters before leaving with an undisclosed injury. It would be an unexpected bullpen game featuring the worst pen in baseball. My thoughts at the exact moment: how many innings will Kody […]

First Chuck: 11:45 AM CDT (new anthem each week!) The Tube: NBCSN/Peacock The Dial: Treasure Island Baseball Network Spies ‘R Us: Bluebird Banter A few weeks ago, the Toronto Blue Jays & Minnesota Twins clashed in a tight series that saw MN quite unexpectedly take two-of-three from the defending champs. Film fans will know that […]
Blue Jays 11, Twins 4: Naught 4 Nothing
We ought to have a boilerplate template for 2026 Twins recaps, because it feels like every time the Twins lose this season, it’s for exactly the same reasons as I am about to describe. Another encouraging start from a young arm was emphatically erased by possibly the most predictably incompetent bullpen you’ve ever seen in […]
Game 34: Blue Jays at Twins
First Pitch: 1:10 pm CDTTV: Twins.TVRadio: TIBN / WCCO 830 / The Wolf 102.9 FM / Audacy This week, I had free tickets to my first two Target Field games of the year, the deflating Tuesday night loss against the Seattle Mariners, and the series-opening victory against these very same Toronto Blue Jays. I wish I could say […]
Blue Jays 7, Twins 3: Kazuma Okamoto OWNS SWR
First-year MLBer Kazuma Okamoto put some hurtin’ on Simeon Woods-Richardson, the Twins threw too many outs and chances away. Inning-by-inning notes: 1: George Springer with the leadoff single, and a good cheer comes through on the radio. So, as usual, there’s a lotta Jays fans at TF. Who in my experience are basically the nicest […]
