He slashed .346/.370/.510 from May 28 to June 28. His .880 OPS was enough to bring his season OPS all the way to&#x2026; .733, from .622.

During their 3-0 loss, there was never a time in which the Twins appeared worthy of standing on the same field as Tarik Skubal and the Tigers. Rather, they were rendered a comedic sideshow in an opportunity rarely allotted to them.

As a listener since 2011 (although not quite as consistent a one as I used to be), I can describe it pretty neatly, in broad strokes.

	We need to talk.




	The game we love is in trouble, not because of pitch clocks or robot umpires, but because of us. The behavior of a growing portion of Major League Baseball&#x2019;s fanbase has crossed a line.




	You may have seen the story: after one of&#xA0;Bailey Ober&#x2019;s re...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">18609</guid><pubDate>Tue, 01 Jul 2025 13:05:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Kaelen Culpepper Earns Futures Game Nod, Will Be Minnesota Twins&#x2019; Lone Representative</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/kaelen-culpepper-earns-futures-game-nod-will-be-minnesota-twins-lone-representative-r18628/</link><description>The MLB All-Star Futures Game has long been a glimpse into baseball&#x2019;s future. Clayton Kershaw, Mike Trout, Ronald Acu&#xF1;a Jr., and Fernando Tat&#xED;s Jr. all once stood on that stage, before becoming household names. This year, the Minnesota Twins will be represented by just one player at the showcase...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">18628</guid><pubDate>Mon, 30 Jun 2025 20:32:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>What the Heck Should Minnesota Twins Do with Bailey Ober?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-the-heck-should-minnesota-twins-do-with-bailey-ober-r18618/</link><description>Bailey Ober used to be one of the surest things on the Minnesota Twins roster. The towering right-hander quietly established himself as a steady force in the rotation, posting ERAs under 4.00 for three consecutive seasons from 2022 through 2024. He avoided major blowups, gave the team consistent...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">18618</guid><pubDate>Mon, 30 Jun 2025 12:18:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Week in Review: Signs of Progress</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/week-in-review-signs-of-progress-r18624/</link><description>The Weekly Nutshell:

For the Minnesota Twins, the 2015 draft offered the rare luxury of a top-10 selection. It was the kind of pick that could shape the franchise&#x2019;s future for years to come. Unfortunately, it became a selection that fans and fro...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">18553</guid><pubDate>Sun, 29 Jun 2025 16:24:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Inaction Has Become the Twins' Identity</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/inaction-has-become-the-twins-identity-r18607/</link><description>There&#x2019;s no polite way to frame it. The 2025 Minnesota Twins are unraveling. The starting rotation is thin and battered. The lineup is inconsistent and unreliable. The bench offers nothing. And it&#x2019;s all led to a season on pace to end outside the playoffs for the fourth time in five years.

Since then, the complexion has changed a bit, as the team continues to look lost. On Monday, Matt Braun looked at the possibility of a 2018-style retool.
