That name. Kody with a “K” especially. Just a joyful collision of consonants and vowels. 2. That hair. There’s a third reason, actually. He looks like that guy. You know the one. It’s on the tip of m...14958Fri, 08 Sep 2023 10:18:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/just-for-fun/twins-fan-furious-team-too-good-to-win-waiver-claim-r14918/  The Minnesota Twins were primed to improve their team on Thursday, as an unusual number of quality veterans were available via the waiver wire. Their claims were stymied, most notably by AL Central rival Cleveland, who snagged starting pitcher Lucas Giolito and relievers Matt Moore and Re...14918Fri, 01 Sep 2023 10:18:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/just-for-fun/white-sox-have-chance-to-do-funniest-thing-ever-r14877/I don’t ask for a lot. But hear me out. As the Twins continue their two steps up, two steps back trek to the weirdest AL Central title ever, let’s look elsewhere. It seemed like the godless Chicago White Sox had finally decided to hit the reset button, firing GM Rick Hahn and VP Kenny Willi...14877Fri, 25 Aug 2023 11:23:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/just-for-fun/my-favorite-immaculate-grid-twins-ranked-r14841/Like many other sports fans of a certain age, I’ve become entirely too wrapped up in Immaculate Grid. The game, which gives you nine chances to fill nine boxes with players who share something in common on the horizontal and vertical axes, is a golden opportunity to Remember Some Guys.

From locker room dissension to on-field underperformance to veteran leaders getting knocked out in front of god and everybody, th...14800Fri, 11 Aug 2023 10:14:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/just-for-fun/cleveland-out-of-good-ideas-if-twins-continue-faltering-r14751/  The Guardians thought they’d finally done enough. In a season where they barely played offense and lost ace Shane Bieber to injury, Cleveland still could not entirely break away from the AL Central division lead. Trading Amed Rosario for the ghost of Noah Syndergaard didn’t do the tr...14751Fri, 04 Aug 2023 11:13:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/just-for-fun/why-are-the-twins-striking-out-so-often-r14693/The Minnesota Twins are on pace to set the record for most strikeouts in one season. If there is one thing that’s been keeping them from separating from the rest of their lousy division, it’s this. Even some pop flies and groundouts are going to move a runner over, get mishandled, etc. Put the b...14693Fri, 28 Jul 2023 10:47:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/just-for-fun/ed-edouard-julien-eddie-rosario-eduardo-escobar-ed-twins/Edouard Julien has made his case. Batting over .500 for weeks will do that. Fielding questions notwithstanding, it’s safe to declare that not only is he a borderline Rookie of the Year candidate, he’s very much our team’s new Ed. Longtime fans remember the golden days of 2016, when not one,...14655Fri, 21 Jul 2023 11:17:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/just-for-fun/person-who-has-never-heard-of-any-of-these-guys-furious-over-twins-draft-r14620/Unlike the NFL or NBA drafts, where players spend time in the national spotlight in college (and even high school for some basketball standouts), the Major League Baseball draft centers prospects from high school and the less glamorous college baseball ranks. It’s fair to say that unless you’re...14620Fri, 14 Jul 2023 11:12:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/just-for-fun/weird-nerd-mad-about-shutout-r14562/Twins starting pitcher Pablo Lopez was dialed in on Wednesday night, striking out 12 and allowing four meager hits in a complete game, 100-pitch shutout victory. Lifelong Twins fan Ethan Sudbury couldn’t be angrier. “It was against the Royals,” he said friendlessly. “How did it take him 100...14562Fri, 07 Jul 2023 11:23:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/just-for-fun/new-girl-characters-ranked/The Twins are depressing right now. You read this site every day. You know this. The AL Central is actually more depressing, in that no one can do any better. I need a break from thinking about this entire enterprise. So do you. With that in mind, I’m ranking the main six characters on the...14515Fri, 30 Jun 2023 11:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/just-for-fun/hater-shelves-%E2%80%98byron-suxton-tweet-until-next-slump-r14464/In the wreckage of Minnesota’s 10-4 humbling at the hands of the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday, one glimmer of hope shone through: Byron Buxton ended an epic slump with a long home run. The succeeding games have seen Buxton continue that tear, belting two more home runs and a double as the Twins cla...14464Fri, 23 Jun 2023 11:11:00 +0000
