In the category of “you can’t make it up”… all year, #MNTwins “members” can scan purchases to earn rewards points that can be redeemed for stuff. All year, that’s included a concession gift card, so kinda getting money back. But for this last 10-game homestand? It’s disappeared. Enjoy the yearbook.

In breaking down the results of The Athletic's recent Twins fan survey, the message is undeniable.

I shocked @johnbonnes.bsky.social with the numbers and then I made him give his own answers to the survey questions.

I’m biased because Blackstack Brewing is @GleemanAndGeek presenting sponsor, BUT… holy cow did they nail the Metrodome Hazy IPA. Only at the Ballpark Cafe at the state fair for now. I really hope they release it publicly.

Still lots of stuff going on as the #MNTwins continue to evaluate the pieces that might make up the 2026 team. ($ but first 10 minutes are free.)

That’s an interesting thought.

When the CF bare-handed that ball before it got to the wall, sending Larnach became much more dangerous. With 2 outs, Watkins got aggressive and it paid off when the blind throw missed the relay.

I don’t know if it’s apparent on TV, but that “send” on Larnach by Tommy Watkins was, in my mind, a smart and brave call that worked.
