Sometimes life just isn’t fair, is it? That’s my reaction to the news that Twins pitching coach Pete Maki was fired on Monday, which was the last thing I expected after the Twins beat back the negative projections heading into the 2026 season and largely overachieved and even contended at one point for a wild...

The Twins won their final series of the 2026 season over the Texas Rangers, including a 6-4 win on Sunday. The Twins wrap things up with a 77-85 record, good enough for third place in the American League Central. Was it a good season? In many ways, yes. After the Twins traded away all of...

With nothing at stake, the Twins pulled off a convincing win on Sunday by beating the Los Angeles Angels, 8-0, to earn a split of the four-game series. The Halos walked-off the Twins twice while Minnesota shut out the California club twice. It should’ve been a sweep, given that the Angels are the worst team... Continue Reading »

Royce Lewis hit a walk-off triple to win Game 1 of the Twins’ three-game series against the Kansas City Royals, and Kody Clemens capped it with one of the biggest hits in Twins history, a bases loaded walk-off grand slam to give the Twins an unbelievable 4-3 win after they were flat out dead for...

The Twins ran into a tough customer on Thursday in the form of pitcher Gavin Williams, who is one of the best in the biz.

They never fully recovered after that and fell 10-9 to the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Twins’ fourth straight loss. It’s also... Continue Reading »

Ladies and gentleman, your 2026 Minnesota Twins: competent starting pitching, an improving young lineup and a spit and baling wire bullpen that apparently relishes the high-wire act. All of that and more was on display Sunday as the Twins battled back and forth (again) with the Boston Red Sox and finally held on for a... Continue Reading »

The Twins turned the tables on their next door neighbor, the Milwaukee Brewers, on Sunday and emerged with a one-run, 5-4 victory, in the finale of their weekend series. Now, can they make it four wins in a row? The injury-riddled Houston Astros, a team that seems ripe for the picking to me, limp into... Continue Reading »

Twins starter Bailey Ober accomplished a rare feat on Tuesday in the team’s win over the Miami Marlins. It wasn’t a perfect game, and it wasn’t a no-hitter, but let’s call it near-perfection anyway after Ober went the distance on just 89 pitches, allowing all of two hits, no walks and seven strikeouts in his...
