But that year barely counts, so let's call it 2019 to make it more impressive.

18 playoff losses in a row. 19 years since their last playoff victory. Twins fans have heard these sad and sorry answers to questions that they are sick and tired of getting asked. It's time to get some new answers, and for that we must ask some bold new questions. Here are the top three new questions that face the Twins as they head into the 2023 playoffs.

Thursday brought about a bittersweet moment that Twins fans can celebrate for a fan favorite of the last five years.

The Twins and Blue Jays are teams with similar strengths and weaknesses. How does this bode for a potential playoff match-up?

The team says they are as surprised and concerned about what this means as everyone else.

With the Cedar Rapids Kernels winning the Midwest League Championship Wednesday night, the St. Paul Saints were the lone affiliate in action on Thursday. Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton was back in action as the designated hitter.

As the Twins march towards their first playoff appearance since 2020, their projected playoff roster is an amalgamation of promising young and experienced vets. Who has the most postseason experience on the Twins roster, and who is set to make their debut? Let's take a look.

Draft tandem JD Cameron and Jeremy Nygaard team up for a new podcast to discuss prospects on their way to the big leagues.

Needless to say, the Astros know how to win in the playoffs. While still a threat, this is not the same team you remember. 

His legs are disloyal, and his arm isn’t what it used to be. Once the tip of the spear as the Twins thrust back from rebuilding to contention, he’s now on his third position and his ninth life. He’s had to completely reinvent himself at the plate over the last two seasons. Yet, he’s as good as ever. This is not the fall of Jorge Polanco. Instead, this October might just be The Fall of Jorge Polanco.

The minor league seasons are running down, but on Wednesday night, the Cedar Rapids Kernels wrapped up an incredible season. They won their division in the first half and again in the second half, and it all culminated with the first Midwest League Championship for the Kernels in 29 years! 

With a three-run ninth, the Twins completed a memorable comeback against the Reds at Great American Ball Park with great baserunning from Willi Castro and a pair of clutch hits. They take two out of three against Cincinnati and finish their road trip with five wins in seven games, reducing their magic number to two.

The Twins hoped Byron Buxton could return to center field for the stretch run. However, his latest injury setback changed his role for October.

The Minnesota Twins are going to play postseason baseball for the first time since the 2020 season. It will be the first time fans are in attendance since the Bomba Squad existed during 2019. We don’t yet know the opponent, but the Seattle Mariners are among the possibilities.

Minnesota's ace battles forces beyond just his competition in his bid for the AL Cy Young.

Game 2 of the Midwest League Championship Series between the Cedar Rapids Kernels and Great Lakes Loons wasn’t able to be completed on Tuesday night, but it was a great game until the rain moved in. The Saints game in St. Paul saw a plethora of rehabbers play a role, including a couple fantastic outings from rehabbing pitchers you may be interested in.

The Twins' magic number lowered to three, the Twins' arms pitched a shut-out, and no Twins fan went home happy after Royce Lewis left the game mid-at-bat. Here's how the ecstacy and agony transpired.

At this point of the regular season, it is worth declaring the Minnesota Twins as American League Central Division winners. Their playoff odds are 100% per Fangraphs, and they will play into October. Who they take with them remains to be seen, however.
