Joe Mauer, a.k.a. Mr. Twin, Is Having Twins!
We already knew that Joe Mauer was Mr. Minnesota. The guy played baseball, basketball, and football for Cretin-Derham Hall High School in Saint Paul and became the first person ever to be selected as USA Today’s High School Player of the year in two sports—football in 2000, baseball in 2001. But of course, he turned [...]

Twins Fan Caught Taking A Whiff Of Her Armpit (GIF)
There are a few things that spectators at a baseball game should be concerned about. Avoiding any errant bats and balls that make their way into the stands is usually one of those things. The smell of their own armpits on a hot summer night, on the other hand, is rarely on that list of [...]

Twins’ Bat Boy Almost Takes Out Ryan Doumit With A Slide Tackle (Video)
I always thought it would be kind of awesome to be a Major League bat boy, hanging out in the dugout and waiting hand and foot on real big-leaguers. But when you think about it, there’s a real downside to the gig. You have to be out there under the spotlight, in front of tens [...]

Stat Line Of The Night — 7/22/12 — Ryan Doumit
Wins haven’t been easy to come by for the Minnesota Twins this season, as their 39-55 record heading into Sunday was good enough for last place in the American League. Taking on the second-worst team in the American League, the Kansas City Royals, the Twins had the opportunity to bring themselves one game closer to [...]

Stat Line Of The Night — 7/16/12 — Denard Span
The Minnesota Twins entered last night’s game against the Baltimore Orioles having lost five in a row. During that five game stretch, they had managed to score a total of 16 runs. On Monday night, they needed only one game to surpass that total, as the Twins’ offense exploded for a 19 runs during their [...]

Thunder And Lightning Scare The Crap Out Of Rangers And Twins, Halt Game (Video)
Baseball is a game full of sweet sounds. There’s the pop that a good fastball makes when it hits the catcher’s mit. There’s the sound of the umpire calling strike three. And of course, there’s everyone’s favorite—that beautiful crisp crack of the bat when a slugger really lays into one. Not among the sounds you [...]

These Blonde Twins Were At The Twins Game Last Night (Video)
Talk about a coincidence! During last night’s game between the New York Yankees and the Minnesota Twins in the Bronx, YES Network cameras caught these two identical twins sitting in the first row with their matching outfits. That seemed to be the prefect time for Michael Kay to promote the network’s broadcast for today’s game [...]

Twins Center Fielder Ben Revere Makes Incredible Over The Shoulder Catch By (Video)
Sometimes when a ball player comes to the plate he gets lucky, hitting a weak ground ball that somehow manages to trickle between a couple of infielders for a hit—a hit that counts just as much toward his batting average as a doubled ripped off the left-center field wall. Other times a ball player ain’t [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night — 8/15/11 — Jim Thome
When Alex Rodriguez was approaching the 600th home run of his career, a feat he reached on August 4, 2010, everyone in America took notice. Media outlets across the country followed the story and it seemed as though every American sports fan was following A-Rod’s pursuit of the historic milestone. The Minnesota Twins’ Jim Thome [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night — 7/4/11 — Brian Duensing
If I told you that one of the starting pitchers from yesterday’s game between the Minnesota Twins and the Tampa Bay Rays struck out seven batters and allowed only six hits during a complete-game shutout victory, you would probably assume we were talking about Rays starter David Price. However, Price would allow four earned runs [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night — 6/23/11 — Tim Lincecum
Thus far the 2011 MLB season has been a disappointment for Tim Lincecum by his standards. He entered last night’s game against the surging Minnesota Twins with a 5-6 record and a 3.39 ERA, which is very un-Lincecum-like, but he improved upon both of those stats with a Lincecum-like performance. The two-time Cy Young Award [...]

5 MLB Teams Whose Seasons Are Already Over
Baseball is a game that moves slowly and deliberately throughout the season. I mean, when you have 162 games to play, there really isn’t any other way to move. When you’re in the top spot, it affords you the ability to relax and tweak your style should any serious threats emerge. If you’re in the [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night — 6/12/11 — Francisco Liriano
Francisco Liriano managed to come away with his fourth victory during yesterday’s start against the Texas Rangers, but it was what he failed to come away with that had most people talking following the game. Keeping the Texas Rangers’ bats quiet has not been an easy task for pitchers around the American League lately, but [...]

The Stat Line Of The Night — 5/15/11 — Jose Bautista
Playing north of the 49th parallel, the Toronto Blue Jays’ Jose Bautista rarely gets the recognition he deserves. Last season he led the majors in home runs with a total of 54. This season he appears to be well on his way to earning the home run title once again, and his performance yesterday afternoon [...]

Twins’ Alexi Casilla Sees Hail For The First Time (Video)
Being a member of the Minnesota Twins throughout his five-year Major League Baseball career, second baseman Alexi Casilla hasn’t had to deal with many rain delays, as the Twins have spent most of those seasons playing within the weather-friendly (or at least we thought) confines of the Metrodome. And as far as hail storm delays [...]
