Time flies by quickly, it seems like yesterday he was hitting those Bomba Squad homers and pointing to the crowd in the outfield while circling the bases.

He's obviously our guy if he received Gibby's endorsement.

It reminds me of a previous employer that had a use it or lose it sick time policy each year. I didn't like calling in sick when I wasn't really sick and felt guilty doing so. I also refused to lose sick leave time by December 31 because I was healthy and came to work everyday. Then, one time the solution came to my mind. As the end of the year approached and I still had sick time to use, I would call my employer and tell them that I did not feel 100 percent healthy and was using sick time that day. I didn't have to lie and didn't lose sick time.

It's fair enough to think Prielipp is the best Twins story of 2026. Although, it does not leave me very optimistic about future success for the franchise.

Meet the new boss, the same as the old boss.

This is the story of Minnesota men's professional major league sports teams since 1991, no championships. Normally, it's that a player or coach leaves Minnesota and wins a championship somewhere else. This Torii story is a slightly different twist.

I have an honest inquiry - why is it more difficult in today's world to go to MLB.com and find where the game is being broadcast as opposed to the old days of turning on the TV and flipping through dozens of channels, watching the guide that scrolls through station listings slowly, or opening the paper TV Guide? Or isn't it even easier to search on your smart TV. I think it might be more annoying in today's world due to the viewing choices that may require payment. I don't think it's a difficult challenge to make sure fans know where to find the games.

The strategy of calling up Rojas and Jenkins and counting on them as difference makers doesn't seem like a winning formula for a strong playoff contender. The existing roster players need to produce.

It's either play deep or bench him.

You went to the highest price, in demand game in years, so yes you are going to pay a premium. You were blessed to see perhaps the greatest baseball player ever pitch and hit in the same game against the popular Twins ace. Why complain about the cost? FYI, you can take a family to Target Field for about $25 if you are smart about it, I'm doing so today with free tickets on the Kwik Trip app, walking a few extra minutes to park, and bringing my own drinks and food (both allowed).

Fountain Pepsi Products are $2.49 at the value stands at every game. There are cans of soda for $2 on Friday night pregame sales. Plus, you can bring your own water bottles to the game and refill for free at the hydration station.

The Twins still have a lot of work to win back long term fans who abandoned ship after 2025 trade deadline disaster. I couldn't give away a ticket to the Joe vs. Sho game and asked many of the long term Twins fans I know that have given up on the franchise. Folks still don't trust the Twins organization.

25 minor league games watched to have an opinion on a prospect? That's a demanding standard. I'm guessing most of the national writers don't have that many games watched on a prospect before publishing an opinion.

#1 was expected because He Ain't No Ordinary Joe Ryan is an ace. #2 - #4 were... surprising if you had asked me in late March to predict this.

Will someone remind me again how AI is improving things for the average citizen?
