This is like a #MNTwins version of the 'where y'all sitting?' cafeteria meme. twitter.com/Twins/status/1…

Not sure if Minnesota Twins has officially announced this yet, but Simeon Woods Richardson will get the call up from the St. Paul Twins, presumably as the 27th man for tomorrow’s double header vs. the Detroit Tigers.

How do I know? He’s on my Delta flight home to Detroit right now.

New podcast!

Great story by the dynamic duo of DanHayesMLB and Eno Sarris about Joe Ryan's importance to the #MNTwins and ongoing quest to develop reliable non-fastball pitches: theathletic.com/5402918/2024/0…

New season, same frustrating story. Why can't the Twins hit in April? theathletic.com/5402059/2024/0…

Rocco Baldelli now has the fourth-most wins by a manager in #MNTwins history:

1,140 — Tom Kelly (.478 Win%)
1,068 — Ron Gardenhire (.507)
524 — Sam Mele (.546)
379 — Rocco Baldelli (.528)

Edouard Julien is no longer slumping.

3-for-3 with two opposite-field homers, raising his OPS on the season from .444 to .781 in five innings.

Julien's first career multi-homer game and first career homer vs. a left-handed pitcher.

Byron Buxton snaps the #MNTwins hitless streak with runners in scoring position at 0-for-33.

Buxton is now 4-for-10 (.400) with RISP this season.

Michael Tonkin is officially back with the #MNTwins and available out of the bullpen.

Tonkin fun facts:

1. Drafted in the 30th round by the Twins in 2008, when their three first-round picks were Aaron Hicks, Carlos Gutierrez, and Shooter Hunt.

2. Jason Kubel's brother-in-law.

The two worst-hitting starts to a season in the 64-year history of the #MNTwins have occurred in the past three years.

Why can't the Twins hit in April? Similar early struggles lead to familiar questions: theathletic.com/5402059/2024/0…

#MNTwins placed Max Kepler on the injured list with a right knee contusion.

Michael Tonkin replaces him on the active roster.

I know I call players “old friend” a lot, but this is *really* an old friend.

Michael Tonkin was drafted by the #MNTwins way back in 2008.

#MNTwins relievers Caleb Thielbar (hamstring) and Josh Staumont (calf) are both starting rehab assignments with Triple-A St. Paul today.

10 years ago today I talked Becky into a date and hit the girlfriend lottery.

10-and-5 status means she can no longer dump me via trade. And that's lucky because my numbers are down and the underlying metrics aren't much better.

Hoping to finish my career in the same uniform.

#MNTwins fewest total hits through the first eight games of a season:

- 47 hits in 2024
- 48 hits in 2022

No other Twins team has ever had fewer than 50 hits through eight games.

Byron Buxton can still go get it.

And that's why the #MNTwins brought in Manuel Margot to hit lefties.
