  1. Thursday Night Minor League Lights

    by , 04-26-2012 at 09:32 PM (SethSpeaks.net)
    The Twins had a much-needed day off on Thursday. Players were able to stay at home (or in their hotel room, or wherever they’re staying), and get some things done… hopefully that included getting some rest. The team will start a series against the Royals at home on Friday night. Hopefully the Twins bats can tee off against lefty Everett Teaford!

    Here is a look at the Twins minor league scores and highlights from Thursday:

    GAME 1 - ROCHESTER 4, SYRACUSE 5 (8 innings)

  2. Twin's Nicknames

    by , 04-26-2012 at 03:20 PM
    There is a nice little article today on ESPN about MLB players and their nicknames. I saw Josh "The Hammer" Willingham mentioned, but did not see any other current Twins mentioned. That being said, I thought I would give it a try:

    Matt "I need a night" Capps
    Ryan "Just" Doumit
    Ben "Don't call me Paul" Revere
    Justin "Less yes" Morneau
    Denard "Spic and" Span
    Alex Burnett "Burn it all" ...

  3. Booing Mauer? There Are Reasons Why So Far In 2012, But They're Asinine...

    by , 04-26-2012 at 02:42 PM (The Hanging SL)
    Much has been made recently about the boo birds in Target Field singling out Joe Mauer while he’s up to bat. It is somewhat hard to understand this early in the season while he’s actually performing pretty well from a grand scheme perspective, batting .319 with a .410 On-Base Percentage.

    He’s played in every game, has knocked in some runners, and has even hit a HR over the limestone wall in right field.

    But people’s eyes (including mine) are seeing something ...

  6. 3 Twins Complaints I'm Sick and Tired Of

    by , 04-26-2012 at 08:11 AM
    I get it: Joe Mauer is getting paid
    $184 million and doesn't hit
    many home runs
    [Originally published at Twins Fan From Afar]

    When a team is losing, like the Twins are so far this season and did all of last season, it's easy to complain. In ...

  7. April 25th-Jason Wheeler Start for Snappers

    by , 04-26-2012 at 07:40 AM
    I am going to write about a oddity for a Twins fan, good starting pitching. Not awesome or eyepopping, but good. Wednesday Jason Wheeler picked up his second victory Wednesday with six innings of 10 hit (8 singles-2 doubles), 2 K, 0 BB and 3 earned run pitching. Wheeler was helped by the GIDP and picked off a runner in order to keep more from crossing the plate. The Snappers held it close until he sixth when they put three runs in breaking the 3 to 3 tie. Wheeler stats sit at 21 innings, 1.38 WHIP ...

  8. Attendance starting to dwindle at Target Field

    by , 04-26-2012 at 06:34 AM (North Dakota Twins Fan)

    The first two seasons at Target Field have been very fruitful from the Twins perspective when it comes to selling tickets in their beautiful new ballpark. In 2010 and 2011, the Twins capped their season ticket sales and it was tough to find an open seat in any section with your naked eye for most of the season. Before a new stadium was built, the organization said they needed ...
  9. Draft a College Pitcher? Are you sure?

    by , 04-26-2012 at 05:56 AM (SethSpeaks.net)
    I can’t imagine that there is a worse starting rotation in Major League Baseball than the Minnesota Twins. It was really bad last year. They added only Jason Marquis in the offseason. Scott Baker had elbow surgery that turned into Tommy John surgery. Francisco Liriano, who teased in spring training, has been so bad that he’s having a skipped start after just four starts. The Twins starting staff has an ERA over seven right now.

    Understandably, the thing we hear from most Twins fans ...

  12. 2012 Day-by-Day - April 25

    by , 04-26-2012 at 12:42 AM
    Twins lose another heartbreaker. Leave 13 men on base, struggle to get that one important hit with guys on base late in the game. As I was watching, and hoping for a comeback, I tempered my expectations for the team. Normally I'll think to myself "If we can pull this win off, we could start a serious run here." Unfortunately, this year, I struggle to see how this team can win 5 in a row or 9 of 10. Not saying they won't have winning streaks of anything past 2 (season long for 2012), but ...

  13. Wednesday Night Twins Minor League Game Notes

    by , 04-25-2012 at 09:55 PM (SethSpeaks.net)
    The Twins and Red Sox are battling in a suddenly-close game in the late innings of the final game of what has been an immensely frustrating series for the Twins and their fans. Which is another good reason to follow the Twins minor league games. There’s always plenty of positive to be taken from the games, even if three of the four Twins affiliates lost.

    Here is a look at the Twins minor league scores and highlights from Wednesday:

    ROCHESTER 5, SYRACUSE 10

    This is the first version of the 'who is NOT hot in the Twins' minors' series for 2012. I have been doing the Who is hot in the Minors series for a few years now and I decided that a complimentary list might be in order. I will be updating those every month or so, as well. The current who IS hot list can be found here

    Without further ado, here is the list, going from AAA to A. The clubs represented are AAA ...
