Kevin Goldstein

VP International Scouting and Special Advisor to Baseball Operations for the Minnesota Twins. I've been told my voice is a great summer vibe.

Not that it should be some big concern, as I tweet like four times a year at this point, but I'm happy (and kinda sad because of what this place has become) to say that I'm out of here. You can find me where skies are blue at @kevingoldstein.bsky.social

This was so much fun. Think After Hours meets Desperately Seeking Season but a crime caper.

THE LINGUINI INCIDENT (1991)—a lost-and-found gem of early-'90s independent cinema by @SaltyShep. It reemerges in a new director’s cut as an offbeat treat—an engagingly out-there, tonally singular comedy featuring an amazing ensemble cast.

Now playing! https://t.co/2GdgeEd3Y5

@lib_crusher I don’t know, stay at home and eat some chips or something

@ECrijner Holy crap

[Kevin Goldstein @Kevin_Goldstein]

Sure, I’m spending a hot Saturday afternoon playing Balatro, the best video game of 2024. Sure, nobody should care about my video game achievements. But I just had the best run of my life and it made me giddy. (h/t @LocalThunk).

[Kevin Goldstein @Kevin_Goldstein]

Only “absolutely fantastic”? Must have been off his game (Josh is amazing).

@FestaFanatic Great. I’ve been playing them forever (I’m a bit older than you…) and was shocked at a baseball timeline person making a matador/nocturne joke.

[Kevin Goldstein @Kevin_Goldstein]

@FestaFanatic With Persona and SMT references in the last 48 hours, you have won the best of Twins Twitter title.

[Kevin Goldstein @Kevin_Goldstein]

@SethTweets There’s a hotel by the airport that’s close. I don’t know about staying at the academy but we’d be happy to have you at a game and give you a tour of the facility.

[Kevin Goldstein @Kevin_Goldstein]

@SethTweets Nope, will be there in about ten days or so. Nothing to be sorry about. DSL baseball is incredibly fun!

[Kevin Goldstein @Kevin_Goldstein]

@jenmacramos @SannyDamet He’s a good hang. He will say “dudes rock” very frequently….

[Kevin Goldstein @Kevin_Goldstein]

@Crawford_MILB Light up mini skateboards for the children. Hell yeah.

@jjcoop36 We had a 4:30 seven inning contest a couple of weeks ago.

DSL Baseball: Come for the bombs, stay for the walk-off celebration with bat slams and dog piles! (Seriously though, this is a fun team to watch and Beltre has been en fuego) - Follow our PD channel for more highlights, as there should be plenty more coming.

[Twins Player Development @TwinsPlayerDev]

Eduardo Beltré, the No. 39 intl. prospect by @MLBPipeline, hit a HR (102 mph) and a walk-off single in the DSL Twins win 💣

In 11 games this season, he is slashing .375/.545/.688 (1.233 OPS) with 3 HRs, and 11 walks to 5 strikeouts‼️

He has the 2nd best OPS in the DSL (min. 10 GP) out of all players age 17 or younger (301 total players)📈

@DNS1976 @LincolnMitchell Not gonna happen, but Lincoln puts out a ton a content and is real easy to keep up with!

[Kevin Goldstein @Kevin_Goldstein]

@STU_BenH That’s very kind of you. Glad you enjoyed the show.

[Kevin Goldstein @Kevin_Goldstein]

There are few people I've ever known who have done things for themselves and others exactly as they saw fit, without a hint of compromise, than Steve Albini. We can all strive to be more like that. Requiscat, you absolute king of a human.

[Kevin Goldstein @Kevin_Goldstein]

So, I guess it's out there now, so I'm going to talk about it, as I really don't know what else to do here. But last night I got a text at about 2:30am and learned that Steve Albini had passed away. My life is better because he was a part of mine.

[Kevin Goldstein @Kevin_Goldstein]

He really knew the game well, and we (him, myself and @timmidyett) would talk about it multiple days a week. He'd be amazed about Duran's velocity, or a play someone made, or just the amazing names of players I was seeing in the DR. I'll miss those talks immensely.
