Definitely a change in philosophy as there is no way the previous staff would have allowed Bradley to go back out for the 6th.

3 innings out of the pen - possible.

4 innings out of the pen - mission impossible. Not even Tom Cruise could stop that implosion🤷‍♂️

And we’re not the White Sox😎
 



Taj Mahal became the first Twins starter to hit 💯 on the gun yesterday💪

Here’s a blurb about it from The Athletic-

And there’s been a lot to like with Bradley beyond just the shiny ERA. He’s always had impressive raw stuff, averaging 96.3 mph with his fastball before this year, but that’s jumped to 97.2 mph this season, and he reached triple digits Thursday for the first time in a Twins uniform.

Bradley escaped from a two-on, two-out jam in the third inning by freezing Royals superstar Bobby Witt Jr. with a 100.0 mph fastball down the middle for a called third strike. It was the fastest recorded pitch ever thrown by a Twins starting pitcher.

Despite being just eight starts into his Minnesota career, Bradley already dominates the Twins’ leaderboard for fastest pitches thrown by starters in the pitch-tracking era, which began in 2008. He holds the top eight spots and 16 of the top 20 spots. Here’s what the top 10 looks like:

Taj Bradley4/2/2026Royals100.0

Great start to the homestand


Power currently out at the stadium
 















Oh boy. Buxton leaves the game with a injury. You can't make this up.

 

Aaaaaand Buck hit on the elbow and immediately goes to the clubhouse, didn’t even think of seeing how it felt when he got to first base
 

Not expecting good news on Buxton. I've never seen him get hit and not try to stay in the game.
 




Twins Win!
