Twins manager Rocco Baldelli <a href="https://x.com/DanHayesMLB/status/1840453035149217868" rel="noopener">is returning to the team</a> in 2025, per The Athletic. Baldelli’s fate was uncertain previously, after Minnesota <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/twins-news-rocco-baldelli-shares-striking-admission-amid-fans-firing-request">fell apart this season</a>. The Twins are eliminated from playoff contention despite holding a 70-53 record in August.</p><p>One reason Baldelli may be keeping his job is because of what he did in 2023. The manager helped the Minnesota franchise get to the American League playoffs last season. The Twins manager says he understands the current frustration from the fanbase.</p><p>“The fans, I think, have a right to feel <a href="https://www.startribune.com/twins-manager-rocco-baldelli-responds-to-the-fire-rocco-chants-at-target-field/601153583" rel="noopener">almost any way they choose</a>,” Baldelli said, per the Minnesota Star Tribune. “I believe that. Frankly, any time we haven’t had success here, I’ve heard them in the stadium, and that’s part of managing a Major League Baseball team.</p><p>“I respect the fans. The Minnesota Twins fans showed me last year when we were in the playoffs amazing things, things that can change the outcome of a game in favor of their team. You can’t have greater passion than what I saw. If I’m going to accept that, take that and enjoy that, then I’ll also take the criticism when things don’t go well.”</p><h2>Behind the Twins collapse in 2024</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/09-25-24-wallner-image.jpeg"><figcaption>© Peter Aiken-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Minnesota went 12-25 following the date of August 17. The Twins are about to finish the season with at least 82 wins, but nowhere near the high mark they saw in mid August. The Twins have lost 8 of their last 10 games, and fans certainly do have a bad taste in their mouth.</p><p>There’s reason to believe in Borelli, despite the struggles. The manager was AL Manager of the Year in 2019, and has won the AL Central three times in his tenure. That includes during the 2023 campaign. Still, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/twins-news-rocco-baldelli-rally-cry-despite-worrying-injury-pile-up">the team didn’t finish</a> the 2024 campaign the way that the Twins and their fans wanted.</p><p>“I feel like most of the blame should be on the players,” Twins pitcher Bailey Ober said.</p><p>This is the second time in three years that Minnesota faded in the last portion of the season. The last time this happened was in 2022, when the Twins lost 29 of the club’s last 45 games. Again, the collapse began in mid August. Next season, Twins fans will surely be keeping a close eye on what happens in the final six weeks or so of the campaign.</p><p>Minnesota plays the final game of its 2024 season Sunday against the Baltimore Orioles. The first pitch is scheduled for 3:10 Eastern.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Throughout the week, manager Rocco Baldelli heard “Fire Rocco” chants from the fans at Target Field and was asked about them post-game on Saturday.</p><p>Baldelli kept it real, making it clear they <a href="https://www.startribune.com/twins-manager-rocco-baldelli-responds-to-the-fire-rocco-chants-at-target-field/601153583" rel="noopener">have every right</a> to feel a type of way about the Twins failing to live up to expectations.</p><p>Via Bobby Nightengale:</p><p>“The fans, I think, have a right to feel almost any way they choose,” Baldelli said. “I believe that.

All Baldelli can do is put his best players on the diamond and hope they perform. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/twins-news-carlos-correa-poison-comment-rocco-baldelli">The reality is they didn’t</a>. Minnesota hit just .219 in the month of September and a mere .235 since the All-Star break. They weren’t great on the mound either, compiling a 4.45 ERA post-All-Star break.</p><p>Baldelli’s contract runs through 2025 and he admitted that being fired hasn’t exactly been on his mind:</p><p>“I’ve never stressed out about that,” Baldelli said. “I stress out about the way we play. I stress out about the results and the process for us to get to those results. I don’t go to bed thinking about my job. I go to bed thinking about the job we do and how we need to do it better. And that’s the reality of it. We’ll let things play out.”</p><p>“I’m fully motivated and enjoy what I do,” Baldelli said. “I appreciate our organization and our fans. That goes without saying, but I still feel as passionately today about doing the job as I did the day I took it.”</p><p>Starter Bailey Ober gave his take on the blame being put on Baldelli’s shoulders, saying it’s not his fault:</p><p>“I feel like most of the blame should be on the players,” Ober said. “But everyone’s entitled to their own opinion. If the players hear that, I don’t think anyone is really agreeing with that. It’s like, seriously, can’t you see what’s going on? He’s not the one at fault for this mishap that happened. We didn’t get it done.”</p><p>The Twins head into the season finale on Sunday with an 82-79 record. With Baldelli at the helm, Minnesota has made the playoffs three times in his six years in charge of the organization.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With Albert Suarez taking the mound for the Orioles, there are compelling reasons to believe they will secure a victory over Bailey Ober and the Twins.</p><p>Albert Suarez has shown remarkable improvement in his recent starts, demonstrating better command and an expanded pitch repertoire. His ability to keep hitters off-balance with a mix of pitches has been particularly effective, as evidenced by his quality starts in six of his 23 outings this season. The Orioles boast one of the most potent offenses in the league, ranking second in home runs and third in slugging percentage. Their ability to score runs consistently gives Suarez a significant cushion and puts pressure on the opposing pitcher.</p><p>With the Twins officially eliminated from playoff contention, there may be a lack of motivation in their dugout. This psychological edge could play into the Orioles’ hands, allowing them to capitalize on any lapses in focus or intensity from the Twins.</p><p>Baltimore has been playing strong baseball, as evidenced by their recent performances against the Twins with their victory on Saturday. The team’s confidence and cohesion should carry over into this final game of the season. While the Orioles have secured their playoff position, this game provides an opportunity to fine-tune their performance before the postseason begins. This added motivation to perform well could give them an edge over a Twins team with nothing left to play for.</p><p>The combination of Suarez’s improved pitching, the Orioles’ powerful offense, the Twins’ potential lack of motivation, and Baltimore’s momentum creates a favorable scenario for an Orioles victory in the season finale.</p><h2><b>Why The Twins Will Cover The Spread/Win</b></h2><p>As the 2024 MLB season comes to a close, the Minnesota Twins are poised to end on a high note against the Baltimore Orioles in Sunday’s finale at Target Field. With Bailey Ober taking the mound for the Twins, there are compelling reasons to believe they will secure a victory over Albert Suarez and the Orioles.</p><p>Bailey Ober has been particularly effective at Target Field this season, demonstrating better command and consistency in front of the home crowd. His ability to use the park’s dimensions to his advantage gives the Twins a significant edge in this matchup. For the Twins, this game represents an opportunity to end their season on a positive note in front of their home fans. This added motivation should fuel their performance and drive them to victory against the playoff-bound Orioles.</p><p>While Albert Suarez has shown flashes of brilliance this season, he’s also been inconsistent, particularly on the road. In his last outing, he gave up four earned runs in five innings, suggesting he may be vulnerable to the Twins’ offense. The combination of Ober’s home field comfort, the Twins’ offensive momentum, the Orioles’ potential road fatigue, and Minnesota’s motivation to finish strong creates a favorable scenario for a Twins victory in the season finale.</p><h2><b>Final Orioles</b><b>-Twins Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>In this season finale, expect a closely contested battle between the Orioles and Twins at Target Field. Bailey Ober’s recent dominance, including his impressive 12-strikeout performance, gives the Twins a slight edge. However, Albert Suarez has shown flashes of brilliance for the Orioles. The Orioles’ powerful offense, ranking second in home runs, could pose a challenge for Ober. Ultimately, the Twins’ motivation to end their season on a high note at home, coupled with Ober’s strong form, should propel them to a narrow victory. The game could come down to bullpen performance in the later innings.</p><p><b>Final Orioles-Twins Prediction &amp; Pick: Minnesota Twins ML (-168), Over 7.5 (-110)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Twins entered the game needing to close out the regular season with a sweep of the Orioles in their three-game home series. The team also needed help from the Detroit Tigers and the Kansas City Royals in order to clinch an AL Wild Card berth. Unfortunately, Minnesota couldn’t keep their postseason hopes alive, falling to Baltimore 7-2 in the opening game of the series.</p><p>Veteran shortstop <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/twins-news-carlos-correa-poison-comment-rocco-baldelli">Carlos Correa had been vocal about the Twins’</a> late-season collapse, seemingly taking a shot at his teammates and manager Rocco Baldelli with comments criticizing the team’s preparation and lack of urgency.</p><p>Following Friday’s playoff elimination, Correa offered his take on why the Twins missed out on the postseason for the third time in the last four years. “Everybody <a href="https://x.com/dohyoungpark/status/1839891244983394410" rel="noopener">runs out of gas</a> at the end of the year. The season is damn long. The guys that stay resilient and the guys that stay strong mentally are the guys that succeed. We did not do any of those things. Being tired is an excuse that’s not valid at this point,” the three-time All-Star said, via MLB.com’s Do-Hyoung Park on X.</p><p>Correa put together a solid season for the Twins in limited time. He has 20 doubles, 14 home runs, 54 RBI and 55 run scored with a .905 OPS, an OPS+ of 152 and 3.8 bWAR for Minnesota. The problem is the 29-year-old former Gold Glove winner only played 86 games for the Twins this season.</p><h2><b>Carlos Correa speaks out about Twins’ disappointing season</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Carlos-Correa.jpg"><figcaption>Jesse Johnson-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The 10-year veteran suffered through an injury-plagued year in Minnesota. He <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/twins-news-carlos-correa-dealt-crushing-injury-update-hot-start-2024-campaign">landed on the 10-day injured list in mid April</a>, missing 16 games with a right oblique strain.

He performed well for the team, slashing .325/.460/.500 in the 11-game stretch from his return through Friday’s loss to the Orioles. But his presence was not enough to save the Twins’ season.</p><p>Minnesota looked like a lock to clinch a Wild Card berth as recently as August. However, the team could only muster a 28-36 record since returning from the All-Star break. Meanwhile, their AL Central rivals the Detroit Tigers surprised the baseball world, catching fire in the second half of the season. The Tigers went 39-24 since the Midsummer Classic, the third best record in MLB in that stretch.</p><p>Despite selling at the deadline, dealing starter <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-los-angeles-jack-flaherty-tigers-trade">Jack Flaherty to the Los Angeles Dodgers</a>, the Tigers held onto <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/tigers-news-tarik-skubal-shares-big-goal-amid-cy-young-caliber-campaign-win-vs-yankees">AL Cy Young contender Tarik Skubal</a>. The team stunningly surpassed the Twins and clinched a playoff berth. They currently hold the second AL Wild Card spot.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

According to ESPN analytics, the Twins hold a mere 4% chance of making the postseason. They sit three games behind the Kansas City Royals and the Detroit Tigers.</p><p>The path ahead is fraught with challenges, particularly because three of their remaining four games are against the Baltimore Orioles, who have been formidable this season, securing the #1 spot in the AL Wild Card race and securing a postseason berth. The Orioles are in second place behind the Yankees in the AL East but held first place in the division back in June.</p><h2><b>The Twins should be scared of the Yankees</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Aaron-Judge.jpg"><figcaption>Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Yankees, on the other hand, have established themselves as the powerhouse of the AL, boasting the best record in the league at 93-66, translating to a winning percentage of .585. Their performance has been particularly impressive against AL Central teams, with a <a href="https://www.statmuse.com/mlb/ask/yankees-record-this-season-vs-al-central" rel="noopener">24-7 record</a>, including a perfect 6-0 against the Twins themselves. This dominance is highlighted by the Yankees’ stellar run differential of +152, the highest in MLB, and a robust 55-38 record against teams with a winning percentage over .500.</p><p>Looking at the postseason odds, the Yankees are not only favored to make a deep run but also to win the World Series, holding the best odds in the AL at 16.2%, as <a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds" rel="noopener">per Fangraphs</a> data. In stark contrast, the Twins have a slim 0.1% chance of winning the championship, reflecting the significant disparity in performance and expectations between the two teams.</p><p>The potential first-round matchup with the Yankees is nothing short of a nightmare scenario for the Twins. The Yankees have been particularly formidable in the second half of the season, looking nearly unstoppable. The Twins, meanwhile, have struggled to find consistency, and their path to even making the postseason is riddled with obstacles, primarily due to their upcoming series against the high-flying Orioles.</p><p>This season has demonstrated the Yankees’ ability to dominate the Twins, which will certainly spell trouble for Minnesota should they face off in October. The psychological edge the Yankees hold just from the name itself, combined with their on-field performance, could be a decisive factor in a playoff series. For the Twins, the memory of their regular-season struggles against New York could loom large, potentially affecting their confidence and strategy.</p><p>The Twins have had a history of little to no success when it comes to the postseason. Prior to a sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2023 AL Wild Card series, the Twins had lost an astounding eighteen consecutive postseason games. At the time, this was a record across all major North American sports. <a href="https://www.mlb.com/twins/history/postseason-results" rel="noopener">Four straight series</a> came against the Yankees, all resulting in Wild Card game losses.</p><p>Moreover, the Twins’ journey to this point has been marked by ups and downs. While they have shown flashes of brilliance and resilience, the inconsistency in their play has left them vulnerable, particularly in high-stakes games. The pressure of the postseason, coupled with the Yankees’ prowess, could be a daunting challenge.</p><p>The Twins’ focus, therefore, must be twofold: securing a postseason berth by navigating through their remaining games with wins, and preparing for the possibility of facing a Yankees team that has had their number all season. This preparation involves not only strategic planning and adjustments by the coaching staff but also mental fortification among the players to overcome the daunting odds.</p><p>As the Twins vie for a spot in the postseason, they face a dual challenge: making the playoffs against tough opponents and the prospect of a challenging series against the Yankees. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/twins-news-minnesota-gets-crucial-carlos-correa-boost-before-playoffs">The final games of the season will be critical</a> in determining their fate, and should they advance, their readiness to tackle the Yankees will be paramount. The task is formidable, but in baseball, as in any sport, the unexpected can happen, especially in the pressure cooker of postseason play.

It also makes them quite valuable if they can perform at a high level in several positions. Perhaps no player embodies that better than Minnesota Twins utility player Willi Castro.</p><p>Castro made MLB history last Sunday when he started at third base for the Twins in the second game of a doubleheader against the Boston Red Sox. Castro is the <a href="https://x.com/FoulTerritoryTV/status/1839475625406648557" rel="noopener">first player</a> to appear in at least 25 games at five different positions, per the Twins broadcast.</p><p>Thanks to his versatility, Castro has played in all but three games this season. He’s appeared in 56 games at shortstop, 40 at second base, 32 in left field, 30 in center field, and 27 at third base, logging at least 200 innings at three.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/twins-news-willi-castro-all-star-honor-jose-altuve-injury">Castro was a first-time MLB All-Star</a> after he posted solid numbers in the first half. Those included 90 hits, 22 doubles and a .774 OPS. For the season, Castro has a .248/.333/.388/.721 slash line with 31 doubles, 12 home runs, 60 RBIs and 89 runs scored, all career-highs for the sixth-year Twin.</p><p>It’s not always easy for a player to maintain even decent numbers while playing all over the diamond. Willi Castro has done more than that while scattering his skills across more than half the positions on the field. He’s even taken the mound, tossing 1 1/3 scoreless innings. He does not have a strikeout in five career pitching appearances.</p><h2><b>Twins collapse nearly complete after disaster September</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Willi-Castro-Twins.jpg"><figcaption>Matt Blewett-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Twins fans are having a hard time wrapping their heads around Minnesota’s end to the season, one that will likely not include a trip to the playoffs. The Twins need to sweep the Baltimore Orioles and hope the Kansas City Royals or Detroit Tigers get swept this weekend. That is the only possible scenario the Twins clinch a playoff berth.</p><p>It seemed inevitable that they would just six weeks ago. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/twins-news-playoff-hopes-matt-wallner-injury">Injuries hurt the Twins</a> but it’s still tough to fathom how bad they’ve been since mid-August. Minnesota has only one series win in September and two across its last 11. The Twins were in a playoff position every day for over three months. Their season is probably ending before October.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/twins-fatal-flaw-prevent-mlb-playoffs">Minnesota is reeling</a>. Much of its offense, including Willi Castro, has gone cold this month. You can’t win ballgames if you don’t score runs. The Twins were held to two or fewer runs in 12 of their last 27 games.</p><p>It has raised questions about <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/twins-news-carlos-correa-poison-comment-rocco-baldelli">manager Rocco Baldelli’s job status</a> for 2025. More than anything, though, it’s on the players. A lack of execution and adjustments led to a major slump at the worst time for the Twins lineup.</p><p>It’s tough for the Twins to find a silver lining this season. They entered the defending AL Central champs and were the favorite to repeat. Instead, they’ll miss the playoffs entirely.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

They couldn’t clinch the division due to the New York Yankees catching heat late in the season and never looking back, but the Orioles are nevertheless determined to make noise in the Postseason with their standing. They’ve been an exciting team to watch all year and their young lineup will feature a number of players making their first Postseason appearances. Still, their team is wise beyond their years and no one will want to face Baltimore once October rolls around.</p><p>The Orioles will send Cade Povich to the mound in hopes of him improving his overall record and finding his first win on the road. He hasn’t been particularly solid when pitching away with a 9.75 ERA and losses in his last three consecutive starts. His last two starts came against one of the hottest teams in the Detroit Tigers, but he won’t have as much pressure in this one knowing his team is already bound for the Postseason. Still, expect this bullpen to get some work if the Twins begin to get to Povich early.</p><h2><b>Why The Twins Will Cover The Spread/Win</b></h2><p>The Minnesota Twins are currently three games back of the Kansas City Royals for the final American League Wild Card spot, so they’ll need a sweep during this series to gives themselves a chance at making the Postseason. They haven’t done themselves any favors by going 3-7 over their last 10 games and they’ll have an even tougher road as they try to notch their first wins against Baltimore on the season. They’ve been outscored by the Orioles by 13 runs in three previous meetings and they’ll certainly need to get off to a hot start in this one if they want to keep up with the bats of Baltimore.</p><p>The Twins will send Pablo Lopez to the mound for his thirty-second start of the season. He’s been one of their more reliable pitchers all season and after winning four consecutive appearances, the Orioles have lost the last two games he’s started in. His last time out, he earned seven runs through just four innings of work and didn’t see the start he was hoping for. His numbers are slightly better at home than they are on the road, but he’ll need to be perfect during this one if the Twins want any hope of making the Postseason. Expect their home crowd to be very involved in this series knowing what’s at stake.</p><h2><b>Final Orioles-Twins Prediction &amp; Pick</b></h2><p>The Orioles and Twins will meet once again for their second season meeting and final series of the season. The Orioles own this rivalry at 3-0 on the season and they can effectively end Minnesota’s season with just one win during this series. The Minnesota Twins have to sweep in order to have a chance at the final AL Wild Card spot and they’ll come into this first game very determined to start off on the right foot.</p><p>We have to give the slight pitching advantage to the Twins due to Pablo Lopez’ winning record at home. Cade Povich of the Orioles has yet to record a win on the road and given what’s at stake for the Twins, Minnesota will be looking to get to him early and turn this into a collective bullpen effort from the Orioles.</p><p>For our final prediction, we have to roll with the Minnesota Twins to get the win as they’re desperate to keep their season alive. Let’s roll with the runline as they take the lead early and open this game in the later innings.</p><p><b>Final Orioles-Twins Prediction &amp; Pick: Minnesota Twins -1.5 (+114)</b></p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Twins were among the better teams in the league entering the All-Star break but struggled to find their footing in the second half.</p><p>It looks like it will cost them a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/twins-fatal-flaw-prevent-mlb-playoffs">trip to the postseason</a> and maybe even manager Rocco Baldelli’s job.</p><p>The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal thinks Baldelli is <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5795167/2024/09/26/mlb-managers-hot-seat-aaron-boone-dave-roberts/" rel="noopener">safe this offseason</a>, but there are indications Minnesota needs more from their skipper in 2025. His laid-back approach hasn’t meshed well with a young crop of players and has frustrated veterans.</p><p>Shortstop Carlos Correa – whose multiple stints <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/twins-news-minnesota-gets-crucial-carlos-correa-boost-before-playoffs">on the injured list</a> factored into Minnesota’s downfall – said he’d like to see more <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5791980/2024/09/25/twins-loss-marlins-hitters-bailey-ober/" rel="noopener">urgency from players</a> in their pregame preparation.</p><p>“Some guys take it as poison and some guys take it as fuel,” Correa said, per The Athletic. “The guys who take it as fuel are the ones that always come out on top and have a beautiful career and stay in the game for a long time. We have a lot of young guys and a lot of people try to help them, but at the end of the day, everybody has to figure it out on their own.”</p><p>Correa didn’t take a particular shot at anyone, but he seems to insinuate that giving players too much leeway could lead to them not preparing as well. It falls on the players to execute and find a way, but Baldelli’s managerial style isn’t leading to players trying their best to adjust, at least according to the Twins’ best player.</p><h2><b>Twins missing playoffs would be shocking</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Rocco-Baldelli-Twins-manager.jpg"><figcaption>Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The Twins weren’t expected to be definite World Series contenders this year but many tabbed them as the favorite in the AL Central. Minnesota dug itself into a hole with a slow start to the season but surged back into contention with a 12-game winning streak at the end of April.</p><p>The Twins were a half-game back of first place in the division on May 13. That was the last time they were within a game at the top of the division.</p><p>Still, the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/guardians-news-stephen-vogt-andres-gimenez-mlb-playoffs-twins">Twins looked poised for a playoff berth</a> in August. They were 70-53 on Aug. 17 and occupied one of the three wild-card slots in the American League.</p><p>Minnesota is 12-23 since and needs help, on top of doing its job, to sneak into the playoffs.</p><p>Entering Thursday, the Twins trail divisional foes the Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals by two games in the AL Wild Card standings. Detroit and Kansas City are tied for the second spot. Both teams would make the playoffs if the season ended today.</p><p>Luckily for the Twins, it doesn’t. There’s little chance <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/twins-news-playoff-hopes-matt-wallner-injury">Minnesota can salvage their season</a> though with four games remaining. The Twins own the tiebreaker over the Tigers and Royals which could come into play. Minnesota has to catch one or both to keep that scenario in play.</p><p>Regardless, it appears the Twins need a new approach to avoid a similar collapse next season. Whether that means a new voice as manager remains to be seen, but <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/twins-news-rocco-baldelli-rally-cry-despite-worrying-injury-pile-up">Rocco Baldelli can help his case</a> in a big way by lighting a fire under his team for the season’s final series.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
