Twins News

The Minnesota Twins continue to struggle with their identity as they drop to 1-2 after an 8-6 loss to the Baltimore Orioles, showcasing a concerning trend against left-handed pitchers,Kris Bubic made them look helpless yet again. With Bailey Ober's velocity still a question mark, the pitching staff is in flux and the bullpen roles remain undefined. Royce Lewis is showing signs of life, belting two homers over the weekend, but he can't carry this offense alone, especially with an xwOBA of just .291 and a dismal 24.3% hard-hit rate. If the Twins hope to turn things around against the Kansas City Royals, they need to find consistency at the plate and stabilize their pitching strategy, or risk becoming one of those teams that can't shake off early season woes.

After showing some good life in games two and three against the Orioles, the bats fell silent once again with left-handed Kris Bubic on the mound. For seemingly the 10th season in a row, the Twins simply can’t manage to string together any offense left-handed starting pitchers. The Twins had some early traffic with a […]

Is Royce Lewis fixed? Who knows for sure, but he at least looks the part, with two homers over the weekend against the Orioles. The Twins dropped two out of three, but looked relatively competitive in each game. The pitching is still suspect, and the bats have still been relatively quiet, but we’re at least […]
