The ghost runner extra innings rule is awesome. I don’t care what anyone says.

The Twins waiting to call up Walker Jenkins until their season is all but over is too on the nose.

Another day of Alex Jackson on the bench. Another day that Walker Jenkins should be in the lineup.

Yoendrys Gomez’s control issues are a problem.

Serious question: If you’re playing Alan Roden in the outfield against a leftie over Alex Jackson, why is Jackson on the team?

Are the Twins Really Holding Walker Jenkins Back to Gain a 2028 Draft Pick?

If the Twins are keeping Walker Jenkins in Triple-A to chase a future draft pick, they're prioritizing the wrong prize.

Royce Lewis has passed Kody Clemens, and is now 4th on the #MNTwins with a .751 OPS. Lewis only trails Ryan Jeffers, Byron Buxton and Trevor Larnach in OPS.

It’s roster management malpractice at this point.

Should Derek Shelton have loaded the bases yesterday instead of pitching to Colt Emerson? I broke it down in my latest for @twinsdaily: twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/m…

Should Derek Shelton Have Loaded the Bases?

The Twins lost back-to-back walk-off games in Seattle, but while Derek Shelton's strategy made sense on Saturday, Sunday's decision is much harder to defend.

I write about the puzzling decision in my latest for @twinsdaily ⬇️ twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/m…

Twins Missed a Golden Opportunity with Byron Buxton Roster Move

Byron Buxton's trip to the injured list created an opportunity for the Twins to make an impactful roster move. Instead, they doubled down on one of the most puzzling decisions of the season.
