This week at Twinkie Town, I wonder what Tom Brunansky’s diary might look like, now that he’s the hitting coach for the singles-hitting group that is the 2013 Twins.
If you still have five minutes left on your break: here’s some notes for the Twins-White Sox series.
This week at Twinkie Town, it’s another in a long line of fake transcripts. This time, it’s pitching coach Rick Anderson discussing spitballs with the pitching staff. It’s over at Twinkie Town.
Also, the series is half over now, but here’s my notes for the Twins-Red Sox series as well.
Kevin Correia has been nothing short of excellent so far in 2013 for the Twins – this despite being in some quarters the most-hated player on the team, all before he even put on a jersey. I’m guessing Correia does not read the internet for opinions on his pitching, but if he does, I’m pretty sure this is going to happen.
While we’re at it, the Twins are in Detroit this week; here’s a look at the series.
The Twins are 8-7, which is about eight games better than we expected at this point of the year. Over at Twinkie Town, I’ve got a guide to backtracking on your preseason prognostications of doom.
I’ve also got some news and notes for the Marlins series, which is now planned entirely for Tuesday.
The Twins were rained out on Sunday. This is a good thing, because playing games is a good way to lose, and nobody wants to lose. So over at Twinkie Town, I tried to come up with a few other reasons for the Twins to cancel games.
Also: Twins-Angels news and notes.
Here’s a look at the three-game series between the Mets and Twins this weekend, one that may be snow-affected.
I started thinking about the 2013 Twins this weekend, and my mind wandered, and I had a random thought: No matter how bad the Twins are this year, nine-year-old me would absolutely have loved them. This week’s Twinkie Town column was the result.
While we’re at it, here’s a look at the Twins’ series with the Royals this week.
My series preview for the Twins/Orioles three-game set includes a bunch of Baltimore injury news, the unstoppable Chris Davis, the latest on Cole De Vries and his arm problems, and some cheap shots at Pedro Florimon’s defense. Read the whole thing at Twinkie Town.
It’s Opening Day for the Twins, which means it’s time for my eighth annual Twins Season in Review (Six Months Early) column at Twinkie Town. It was difficult to write this year, as I couldn’t really make fun of any players for being terrible. After two 90-loss seasons, it’s crossed into “not funny” territory to satirize the team’s failings on the field.
My first series preview of 2013 is up, too.
It’s one week until Opening Day, so let’s lay out the main storylines for the Twins in 2013.
This is mostly for the baseball fans who’ve been away watching hockey, and haven’t paid any attention to the offseason.
