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...

The Twins held on for a 3-2 win over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday, leveling the series at a game apiece and marking a milestone for starting pitcher Taj Bradley.

It was a good win for Matthews, and he finishes August with an unblemished 5-0 record, but overall it was a hugely disappointing series because the Twins did little to... Continue Reading »

Despite an 11-strikeout performance from Taj Bradley, including the Twins’ first immaculate inning in team history, the Twins were largely shut down by a guy named Gage Lee Jump on Tuesday to lose 4-2 to the Oakland/West Sacramento/Las Vegas A’s.
