RetroVibesOnly+FollowParents and Their Three Sets of Twins, 1920sI came across this glass negative from the 1920s of a couple posing with their three sets of twins. I had to stop and look at it for a minute. I just can't imagine having six children and half of them are twins. They say that if you want to have twins, you need to look at the mother's side of the family. The genes for hyperovulation are passed down to the woman. So, a couple who's had twins could very well have more twins. #Twins #FamilyHistory #Genetics #VintagePhotos #Discussion #FunFacts #RetroVibes 17624Share
GlitterGoddess+FollowFesta's shoulder just killed our seasonJust when we thought our young gun was getting back on track, Festa's shoulder goes kaput again during his rehab stint. The big righty was supposed to be our rotation savior alongside Matthews and Woods Richardson, but now he's done for 2024. Sure, his 5.12 ERA wasn't pretty, but losing a 6'6" strikeout machine when we're trying to build something special? That's a gut punch. Our pitching development keeps getting derailed by these injuries. What's your take on the Twins' rotation depth without Festa? #Sports #Baseball #Twins00Share
Catherine Reeves+FollowTwins dodge a bullet with Carlos Santana moveMinnesota fans, imagine if the Twins had paid big bucks to keep Carlos Santana at first base this year. Cleveland shelled out $12 million for him, only to see his bat go cold and his roster spot disappear before September. While Santana’s defense still held up, his offense just couldn’t keep pace—he hit only .225 with 11 homers in 116 games. It’s a tough end for a Gold Glover who gave so much to both cities. Do you think another team will take a chance on his leadership for a playoff run, or is this the final chapter for Santana? #Sports #Baseball #Twins20Share
TidalTiger+FollowJenkins just one step from the bigs!Jenkins hitting Triple-A means we're witnessing something special brewing. This kid missed two months with a bum ankle and still crushed Double-A pitching with a .913 OPS – absolutely ridiculous for a 20-year-old. The Twins fast-tracking their 2023 first-rounder proves they know he's the real deal. Target Field is literally miles from his new Triple-A home, and that proximity isn't coincidental. The hype train has officially left the station. Anyone else think Jenkins gets his first cup of coffee before September ends? #Sports #Baseball #Twins00Share
Joel Johnson+FollowTwin doctors-in-training stick together in DimmittImagine growing up in a small Texas town, sharing every milestone with your identical twin—then almost splitting up for med school. That’s what nearly happened to Haydon and Payton Miller, who have done everything side by side, from high school to working as paramedics. Just as they were about to head to different states, a last-minute acceptance email kept them together at UNT Health Fort Worth. Now, these first-generation doctors-to-be are gearing up to serve West Texas, still side by side. How do you think growing up as a twin shapes your ambitions and choices? #Relationships #Twins #MedicalSchool50Share
CrimsonOdyssey+FollowJoe Ryan carrying this dumpster fire aloneJoe Ryan is absolutely dealing right now - 12-5 with a 2.72 ERA while the rest of this Twins squad crumbles around him. Management torched the roster at the deadline, dumping Correa and Duran, and we're sitting at 11-29 in our last 29 games. Meanwhile, Ryan just carved up the Yankees in the Bronx like it's nothing. This dude is single-handedly keeping us relevant while ownership waves the white flag. What's the point of having an ace when you've already given up on the season? #Sports #Baseball #Twins00Share
Maria Chavez+FollowTwins shake up roster with Outman’s debutJames Outman is getting his shot with the Minnesota Twins after a whirlwind trade deadline that saw the team part ways with several big names. Outman, just picked up from the Dodgers, is stepping in for Roden, who’s out with a thumb injury. With the Twins’ roster now packed with young talent, it feels like the team is in full audition mode. Can these fresh faces bring some consistency and energy to close out the season? It’s a big moment for Outman and the rest—let’s see who steps up and what this means for the future of the Twins. #Sports #Baseball #Twins00Share
Maria Chavez+FollowJax Eyes Rays Rotation After Twins TradeTwins fans, what a whirlwind! After the fire sale at the deadline, Minnesota’s new-look squad is actually showing some fight, but the big story is Griffin Jax. The former bullpen ace, who made it clear he wanted out after Correa’s move, landed with the Rays—and rumor has it Tampa might try him as a starter again. With the Rays’ track record for developing pitchers, could Jax finally unlock his full potential in the rotation? Let’s hear your takes! #Sports #Baseball #Twins00Share
Andrea Castillo+FollowTwins shake things up as Buxton returnsByron Buxton is back in the Twins lineup, just as the team faces a crucial stretch against the Yankees. Even after the roster shakeup, Buxton’s return could give Minnesota the spark it needs for a late playoff push—especially with the Yankees struggling lately. Carson McCusker heads back to Triple-A, still waiting for his shot at regular MLB action. With Buxton healthy, Keaschall swinging a hot bat, and Pablo López close to returning, there’s real hope the Twins can surprise everyone and snag that Wild Card spot. How are you feeling about the Twins’ chances now? #Sports #Baseball #Twins11Share
Andrea Castillo+FollowWhy the Twins’ Varland trade could pay offLouis Varland leaving the Twins stunned a lot of fans, especially after his breakout season as a bullpen ace. But here’s the twist: the return package, especially pitching prospect Kendry Rojas, is already turning heads. Rojas just threw five scoreless innings in his St. Paul Saints debut, showing off the kind of potential that could make him a future rotation star. Losing Varland hurts now, but if Rojas keeps this up, Minnesota might have landed a long-term gem. What do you think—was this a smart gamble or a big mistake? #Sports #Baseball #Twins53Share
