Whaddya know? That’s 2 Twins wins

The Twins won the finale over the Cleveland Guardians and they did it again Tuesday with a 4-1 win on the road against the Texas Rangers. Starting pitching Daniel Zebulon Matthews bounced back in a huge way after he had a terrible outing against the New York Yankees. Zebby allowed just a run, a first-inning... Continue Reading »

Bring back the complete game. Fast.

The Twins snapped their six-game losing streak on Sunday with a 5-1 win over the Kansas City Royals. Bailey Ober had one of his best outings in recent memory and Byron Buxton and Kody Clemens connected for home runs No. 30 and No. 16. But despite the win, the bullpen again did its very best...

Twins walk-off winners after 90-minute rain delay

The Twins had to wait through a 90-minute, ninth-inning rain delay in their Game 1 matchup against the Boston Red Sox on Monday, but they finally emerged in the home half of the inning to load the bases, then Brooks Lee singled home two runs for the 5-4 walk-off win. The bigger news, of course,... Continue Reading »

Twins win at Dodger Stadium for only the third time in franchise history

The Twins took an early lead, capitalized on several walks and then held on for a rare 10-7 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday. It was only the third time in franchise history that the Twins have beaten the Dodgers on their home ground, radio play-by-play voice Kris Atteberry said during the game.... Continue Reading »

Twins get what they so desperately needed: Quality pitching

The five-game losing streak is history after the Twins got exactly what the doctor ordered — a quality start from Joe Ryan, the team’s clear No. 1, who helped the Twins earn a 2-0 win over the M’s on Wednesday. Ryan scattered three hits across six innings with no walks and eight strikeouts on 93... Continue Reading »

There it is: Twins fall below .500 with 6th straight loss

The bad news rolls on for the Twins as they lost their sixth straight game on Wednesday, a ridiculous, rain-shortened affair won by the Cincinnati Reds, 4-2. Why ridiculous? The actual time of the game was just a hair over 90 minutes, while the rain delays totaled three hours. The game was finally called in... Continue Reading »

They can’t be stopped: Twins’ win streak grows to 10 games

Talk about a carbon copy of last season. The Twins got off to a slow start in 2024 and then reeled off 12 straight wins. And now they’ve done it again. The Twins had a terrible April and yet it’s 10 wins in a row after a double-header sweep of the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday.... Continue Reading »

They’re back: Twins reach .500 with 7th straight win

Forget the slow start to the 2025 season because the Twins won again Saturday to extend their win streak to seven games and improve their record to 20-20. They are a very welcome 13-5 since they fell to 7-15 on April 20. Again, they didn’t do much on the offensive side of the ledger —... Continue Reading »

Hi, I’m Rolf Boone, Twins fan.

I became a fan of the Minnesota Twins after a friendly wager in the early 1980s. I survived Ron Davis, the meltdown in Cleveland, Phil Bradley at the Kingdome and then marveled at a rising generation of stars and two World Series wins in 1987 and 1991. Brad Radke made the 1990s bearable, while Kirby Puckett’s eye injury, exit from the game and eventual death made it almost too much to bear. The new century ushered in more talent — Joe Mauer, Johan Santana, Joe Nathan, Torii Hunter, Justin Morneau — and consecutive seasons of playoff baseball, followed by consecutive seasons of losing baseball. A winning season returned in 2015. So here we are. Go Twins.
