Sonny Gray tossed 5 scoreless innings as the Twins beat the White Sox 3-1 Wednesday to take the three game series 2-1 and cap off a 4-2 homestand. Gray now has a 0.53 ERA through three starts this season, It appears that he also only went 5 innings today because he is battling an upper respiratory virus. He left with a lead that was never relinquished, earning himself a win. Kind of sweet justice for him after not getting the win in his previous, even better, start because the bullpen couldn’t
The Twins came away victorious tonight 3-2 vs. the Chicago White Sox in their first home night game of the 2023 season. The win came on an error on what was supposed to just be a sacrifice bunt by Michael A. Taylor. Instead, the throw from the pitcher hit Taylor on the helmet and went into right field allowing pinch runner Willi Castro to score on the play. Taylor was given credit for a hit but no RBI as the run scored because of the error..

Hey everyone,
I hope everyone’s week has been good and especially better than the Twins were tonight in getting crushed by the White Sox 12-2. Yuck! This week on the podcast, Chris joins me again. We talk about the Twins uninspiring play recently, Wednesday’s bottom of the 9th not withstanding. We also discuss the All-Star break, a prospect being promoted to AAA, the trade deadline, the Sano problem and other things. You can follow the show on Facebook and Twitter and our new website! http
Happy off day to you all!
Are off days ever happy for us? I guess if they are struggling they are. Our guys are still in first place at 47-38 despite, as Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic and Gleeman and the Geek puts it, "their best efforts to try give it away." Obviously the part of this team that appears to need the most attention is the bullpen. It was no more obvious than this past week with them losing three games in walk-off fashion including yesterday's heartbreaker vs. the White Sox.
Okay maybe things aren’t as bad as pets spontaneously losing heads. In fact they’re nowhere near that.
However, it has been another weird week in Twins Nation and this one unlike any other with pitching coach Wes Johnson deciding to leave the organization effective after Thursday’s game. In this week’s episode of The Twins Nation Podcast my brother and I speculate on if there is any reason other than what has been stated as to why he would leave. We also discuss the team’s play and upcoming s
It has been announced just a little bit ago that 1B/OF Alex Kirilloff has been recalled from the Triple-A St. Paul Saints and second baseman Jorge Polanco has been put on the injured list retroactive to June 13th, due to lower back tightness. This comes as the Twins head to Phoenix to face the 30-35, 4th place Arizona Diamondbacks this weekend. It will be interesting whether Kirilloff is put in the lineup right away tonight or not as the Twins will face lefty Madison Baumgarner.

Hello Twins fans! I'm new to this space. Hopefully I give you content you will find interesting. I'm also fairly new to podcasting. My podcast is the the Twins Nation Podcast.

Give it a listen eit
Random thought here. There's been a lot of buzz about the historically good rookie trio of Julien, Wallner, and Lewis, but I haven't seen anyone observe that this happened despite the Twins' farm system being fairly low-ranked coming into the season, and for the last couple of seasons for that matter.
