- Oct 25, 2021 Accountability today? Accountability tomorrow? Accountability forever! I’m begging us...All of us!
Twinkie Town — Nick Wosika-USA TODAY Sports Sometimes we have to hold people accountable. Perhaps not so much in our larger society, but certainly in our baseball world (unless we’re talking the Astros, or…maybe the Red Sox and Yankees…and then there’s all that steroid stuff…but I digress). I’m coming out in favor of accountability! Let’s start with the Twins front office. People make mistakes. The Twins front office has made mistakes. I’m willing to forgive and forget, as long as those mistakes are made in good faith. While many of us now lament the loss of Eddie...
Oct 25, 2021 - Oct 24, 2021 Who was the worst Twins free agent acquisition of 2021?
Twinkie Town — Photo by David Berding/ The most depressing poll you’ll ever contribute to Coming off back-to-back AL Central championships (2019 & 2020), the 2021 Minnesota Twins were invested in making some pre-Opening Day moves and improving the club in hopes of a divisional three-peat. Bringing back the Boomstick—Nelson Cruz—was a slam-dunk, and it paid dividends. He was (until dealt to Tampa Bay) the heart and soul of the team, with the stats to back it up. Bullpen newcomer Hansel Robles was, well, not terrible. Though far from a reliable arm, he had stretches of solid play...
Oct 24, 2021 - Oct 21, 2021 The best games of his career
Twinkie Town — Photo by Harry How/ Eddie Rosario is killin’ it in the postseason You can’t be anything but happy for Eddie Rosario. The guy goes 4-5 in Game 2 of the NLCS with a walk-off single, but he tops it by being a double away from the cycle in Game 4, and instead of hitting that double, he hits a dinger of course. He’s now batting .467. That’s so Eddie. Eddie Rosario has had some phenomenal games in his career, but doing what he’s doing this postseason, in his first Championship Series, is something else. It just took getting off the Minnesota Twins to make it...
Oct 21, 2021 - Oct 17, 2021 Who will the Twins compete with next?
Twinkie Town — Photo by Brace Hemmelgarn/Minnesota Twins/ It may not be who you expect When the Twins hit their 2011-’12-’13 skid, the Detroit Tigers were three-peating as AL Central champions. Yet, I distinctly remember telling anyone who would listen that when Minnesota got competitive again, they would be locking horns with the Kansas City Royals. I turned out to be correct—kind of. The monarchs of Hosmer, Moustakas, Gordon, Perez, Cain, Butler, and lockdown bullpen vintage rose to prominence a year—2014—before the Twins were ready, and their competitive window didn’t...
