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...

As I said in my previous post, I urged the Twins to make hay against the Baltimore Orioles because they are about to face three good National League teams in the Philadelphia Phillies, Atlanta Braves and San Diego Padres. Why is this so important? The Twins are 13-23 against the National League this season, according... Continue Reading »

Let’s give credit where credit is due: Twins ownership approved a plan to go out and get two relievers and a starting pitcher for the team’s stretch run, and now it’s up to Manager Derek Shelton and the players to deliver on that additional support. And right now that is not happening. The Twins lost... Continue Reading »

The Twins showed a lot of fight in their series loss to the M’s, but asking them to come from behind in every game is a tall order. They pulled it off on Friday — their only win in the series — and came up short in the next two games, both back-to-back walk-off losses,... Continue Reading »

The Twins are still in line to win their fifth straight series, but it should be a sweep because the Los Angeles Angels are 20 games under .500. If the Twins want to be contenders and not pretenders, then this is the kind of team they need to beat. They dropped Game 1 in a... Continue Reading »

“Nothing comes easy for this Twins bullpen,” said Twins radio play-by-play man Kris Atteberry late in Monday’s Twins/Astros tilt in Houston. You can say that again. The Twins cruised into the eighth inning with a 5-1 lead, courtesy of three dingers and seven innings of strong starting pitching, and then the ball was handed off... Continue Reading »

After getting swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Twins came out Friday and wasted no time against the lowly Colorado Rockies by scoring two runs in the first inning, two runs in the second and three in the fifth to take a commanding seven-run lead.
