A Way Too Early Breakdown of the Minnesota Twins 2023 Schedule
Probably the most instantly noteworthy facet of this schedule is that 2023 would be the first 12 months during which Main League Baseball adopts a brand new mannequin during which each group faces all 29 different groups at the least as soon as. This diversification corresponds with a discount within the variety of intra-division video games.
That is excellent news for these of us who tire of watching 19 video games yearly towards the Tigers and Royals, albeit whereas diminishing Minnesota’s aggressive benefit of enjoying within the sometimes weaker AL Central.
The Twins now simply face every division opponent 12 occasions, which frees up house to incorporate each sequence towards each Nationwide League group along with the same old full American League slate. Learn on for some particular nuggets of curiosity from a glance over the 2023 Twins schedule.
Getting Goliath Out of the Means Early
The dreaded showdowns towards the New York Yankees will likely be over with shortly, because the Twins face seven occasions of their first 25 video games, concluding their regular-season engagements with the Bronx Bombers by April twenty sixth. Minnesota’s fifth sequence of the season is a four-gamer at Yankee Stadium, so they will not have a lot time to get snug.
Nationwide League Street Journeys
Along with their ordinary ventures to each AL metropolis, the Twins will now have much more selection of their highway locations by advantage of the scheduling change. Notable away sequence subsequent 12 months happen in Miami (April 3-5), Atlanta (June 26-28), St. Louis (August 1-3), Philadelphia (August 11-13), Cincinnati (September 18-20), and a season-closing journey to Colorado (September 29-October 1).
Midweek Milwaukee Journeys … Once more
In what’s change into a well-recognized custom, the Twins additionally play a “home-and-home” cut up with the NL group that is been deemed their interleague rival: the Milwaukee Brewers, with two video games right here and two video games there. And in what’s additionally sadly change into a convention, each are midweek sequence:
- Tuesday and Wednesday, June thirteenth and 14th at Goal Discipline
- Tuesday and Wednesday, August twenty second and twenty third at American Household Discipline
This occurs just about yearly and it is one of the vexing quirks of the schedule from my view. Minneapolis to Milwaukee is a pleasant simple drive and whereas it won’t really feel like a real “rivalry” the dynamic between these two fan bases is enjoyable. The midweek scheduling makes these journeys impractical for lots of people, nonetheless.
No Late-Season Divisional Showdowns
In a stark distinction to this season, the place the Twins have a September schedule loaded with AL Central foes, together with six of their closing 9 video games towards the White Sox, the Twins face zero divisional opponents have solely seven such video games after August thirty first subsequent 12 months, and they’re all on the highway: three video games at Cleveland (September 4-6) and 4 at Chicago (September 14-17). It’s going to put the Twins in a considerably robust place if they should make up floor or create distance within the standings late within the 12 months.
As you look over the 2023 schedule, what strikes you? Which highway journeys are you plotting for subsequent summer time? What are your ideas on the brand new scheduling conference? Hold forth within the feedback.

It’s a high-stakes trial that could ultimately give Republicans and Democrats a 50-50 split in the Minnesota Senate.
“It has such political ramifications,” said Twin Cities attorney Mike Bryant. “I think a lot of people will be watching what happens.”
It was April 2024, when the criminal complaint said Minnesota Sen. Nicole Mitchell‘s stepmother’s called 911 to report a burglary at her Detroit Lakes home. Mitchell allegedly told police she entered the home to retrieve personal items connected to her recently deceased father, because her stepmother had cut off contact.
In a social media post, Mitchell denied all allegations. Mitchell said she had gone to check on a family member with Alzheimer’s disease.
Bryant said he feels Mitchell will have to testify.
“Unless the state has a really super weak case that they can’t prove anything, I think it’s going to be one of those situations where the jury’s going to want to hear from her,” said Bryant.
“I think it’s going to be very difficult to win,” said Minneapolis criminal defense attorney Joe Tamburino. “Let’s face it, according to what’s in the complaint and what we imagine the prosecutor will prove at trial, is that she was found in the house at the very early morning hours, she was dressed in black and she was discovered by her stepmother and then supposedly she ran down to the basement, and then when the police got there, she made a number of incriminating statements.”
Tamburino said Mitchell’s defense team will be calling on character witnesses.
“Those are witnesses who would say ‘look, the defendant is someone who’s honest, trustworthy, a good person,’” said Tamburino.
They will also try for something called jury nullification.
“Meaning you’re just telling the jury you never had the intent to do this, you’re a good person, so please find me not guilty,” said Tamburino. “Will there be witnesses, like factual witnesses, to say things that ‘well some of this property really was belonging to the defendant Ms. Mitchell’ or ‘some of this property was meant to go to her.’”
Bryant said he expects the longest part of the trial to be jury selection. If a jury can be picked in time, he expects the trial should wrap by the end of the week.

Remer, the ‘Home of Bigfoot,’ draws thousands of believers and curiosity-seekers to festival
“We’re very self-disciplined [and] keep the facts straight,” he said.
In 2009, Tim Kedrowski’s trail camera on his family’s hunting land in Remer captured a blurry image of a towering, dark figure with long arms. The image made headlines worldwide.
Some thought it was a hoax, but Kedrowski contacted the MN.B.R.T. to confirm it was a bigfoot.
Kedrowski, who died last year, wasn’t a bigfoot believer, said son Casey Kedrowski of Rice, Minn. But without the trail camera image, he said, Remer couldn’t lay claim to bigfoot like the way it does today.
Ruyak trademarked Remer as the Home of Bigfoot, a designation he said was solidified after the reputed 2009 sighting. He has studied local reports of alleged bigfoot sightings dating back to the early 1900s, when town founder William P. Remer discovered massive footprints.
