Twins Prospect Hot Sheet: Vahn Lackey Discovers His Power Stroke -
Twins 11, Tigers 1: Offensive Explosion Starts Crucial Week Right for Twins -
“Unfortunately, Buxton (an MVP-caliber talent when healthy) is no stranger to the Sisyphean rebounding from injury, but it’s fair to wonder if this time—for this season—his trial is over. Maybe this boulder can’t be pushed back up the hill.” Lucas Seehafer PT — Byron Buxton Knows You Can't Spell 'Sisyphus' Without 'Hip' -
“Jenkins's swing doesn't look anything like Soto's, though. Whereas Soto spreads out that way to get into a deep crouch and swing flat and fast, Jenkins's stroke seems geared toward loft. His average tilt on 17 competitive swings over the three games was 35°, which is steeper than average.” Matthew Trueblood — One Weekend of Measurables on Twins Rookie Phenom Walker Jenkins -
“That small gap makes every September game meaningful, and puts many fan bases in strange positions—hoping for wins to cling to the fringes of the Wild Card race, but taking solace in losses that bolster their draft lottery odds.” Cody Christie — Twins’ Playoff Hopes Are Slipping, But Their 2027 Draft Position Is Rising -
“The honor is well deserved for Keaschall, whose .416 OBP since the start of July ranks 3rd among MLB hitters. He provides everything you'd want from a leadoff man, whether the role is being viewed through an old-school or new-school lens.” Nick Nelson — Envisioning the 2027 Twins Starting Lineup -
“Garrett Spain spanked an RBI double down the right field line to start the scoring in the first, and Jake Rucker smashed his first homer of the day in the fourth, setting the franchise record for blasts hit by a Wind Surge team in a single season (172).” Matt Braun — Twins Minor League Report (8/30): Home Run Records for All -
“Jenkins certainly looks the part of a big-leaguer. He walked and singled in his first game on Friday, then picked up his first career extra-base hit Saturday on a hustle double. He looked good in center field and made an excellent running catch at the wall on Sunday.” Nick Nelson — Week in Review: Sliding Into September -
"Today, they bucked that trend, as Zebby Matthews looked great. Matthews stayed out of the heart of the zone for the most part, and his misses were competitive. As he showed in his last start when he induced 23 whiffs, Matthews has learned how to miss bats enough to at least keep hitters somewhat honest." Hans Birkeland - Twins 5, White Sox 1: Zebby Matthews Stops the Bleeding, Twins Avoid Sweep https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-5-white-sox-1-zebby-matthews-stops-the-bleeding-twins-avoid-sweep-r21062/ -
"Keaschall's season can't be evaluated solely by those ugly early-season numbers. Since July 1, he's been one of the better offensive players in the American League. Over 43 games, Keaschall is hitting .326/.426/.514 with a .940 OPS. He's collected 47 hits, scored 20 runs, driven in 16 runs and been hit by a pitch 11 times. His strikeout rate has also remained manageable at 15.3%, while his walk rate sits at 9.6%." Cody Christie - How the Twins Found Their Leadoff Hitter, Now and for the Future https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-the-twins-found-their-leadoff-hitter-now-and-for-the-future-r21054/ -
"Minnesota needed offense, and suddenly the theoretical opportunity for Jenkins was sitting right in front of the organization. At the same time, Jenkins was making the decision harder with virtually every game he played." Cody Christie - The Twins May Have Waited Too Long on Walker Jenkins https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-may-have-waited-too-long-on-walker-jenkins-r21043/
