Rosemount was cost a school record, All-State honors, and chance at a State Championship due to a bad call. The Edina runner tries to throw a shoulder at a runner that had passed them, joust his baton, and then flops out of bounds when losing his balance. Rosemount was charged with “impeding the runner” and was DQ’d. Edina was awarded a rerun. The Rosemount coach was told the call cannot be appealed. How is this fair or just? When you have video at the State Meet, why is it not used for making decisions that have this big of impact?
Royce Lewis is lighting up Triple-A, hitting .367 with 8 homers in 12 games since his demotion.
And, just as importantly for his path back into the Twins' lineup, he's learning multiple new positions.
Now it's seemingly just a matter of when and where: https://t.co/jJoLKfl2sy

World Athletics has changed up the voting structure for its annual awards, streamlining the World Athlete of the Year process and introducing a new fan-voted Moment of the Year award. 🏆
The separate track, field, and out-of-stadium event group awards are gone and has been replaced by a single pool of 10 nominees per gender for the main World Athlete of the Year honor.
An eight-person panel of statisticians (two from World Athletics, one from each of the six area associations) will select the 10 nominees. A four-way vote then ranks all 10, with the top three becoming finalists.
🗳️Each of four groups carries equal 25% weight:
• World Athletics+ subscribers
• Athletes who competed at World Athletics Series events in 2026
• Credentialed media
• World Athletics Family
🎦 A fan-voted Moment of the Year award (voted on entirely through World Athletics social media channels) has been introduced to recognize the most emotionally resonant moment of the season.
The ceremony takes place November 29 in Monaco.

Brooks Lee's move from shortstop to third base has domino effects on the Twins' current and future infield involving Kaelen Culpepper, Royce Lewis, Luke Keaschall, and Marek Houston.
On a sooner-than-expected switch and how it changes the infield picture: https://t.co/ePT2PtNO4S
What have we learned from slider-slinging rookie Connor Prielipp's first five starts with the Twins?
Short version: He's looked really, really good.

Ryan Jeffers has a strong case for being the Twins' best all-around player this season. And because of what he does on both sides of the ball, he might be their most difficult player to replace.
And now the Twins are going to be without him for 6-8 weeks: https://t.co/99LBe3SSG3
Twins' fewest pitches thrown in a shutout:
85 — Bill Krueger, 1992
89 — Bailey Ober, 2026
Ober threw the 16th "Maddux" — a shutout on fewer than 100 pitches — in Twins history and the first since Ervin Santana (91 pitches) in 2017.
Just two days into leaving The Athletic to launch my own site for Twins coverage, we've already blown past even my most optimistic long-term subscriber goals.
I'm overwhelmed by the support. Keep it coming and we can make this sustainable for a long time: https://t.co/osUsyR3GwG
My big news: I've left The Athletic because they wanted me to stop covering the Twins.
I refused to give up my dream, so I'm betting on myself and returning to my independent roots.
I need your support to make it work. Join me and let's do this together: https://t.co/osUsyR3GwG
Tonight the @Twins' Byron Buxton:
- hit a leadoff HR
- had all of his team's hits
- drove in all of his team's runs
No other MLB player has done all of that in a victory (since RBI became official in 1920).
Might be the best defensive game of Brooks Lee's career as a shortstop.
He made multiple game-saving highlight plays, including this one for the final out:
