https://twinsdaily.com/blogs/entry/23526-gopher-preview-week-3/The Gophers are back playing baseball in Minnesota today. The first pitch is at 6 PM on B1G+, and for those of you looking to take in a baseball game in person, they will be at Zigi's house, US Bank stadium. The mid-week tilt will be against UW Milwaukee, who comes to town with a 4-2 reco...23526Wed, 01 Mar 2023 19:01:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/blogs/entry/23520-gopher-baseball-built-on-resilience/The storied University of Minnesota baseball program is the only sports topic nearer and dearer to my heart than Twins baseball. I’m a Gopher baseball alum from 2015-2018 and had the honor of playing for John Anderson, Rob Fornasiere, Todd Oakes, Pat Casey, and Ty McDevitt.  There was some tur...23520Thu, 23 Feb 2023 16:44:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/blogs/entry/23463-theyll-love-you-when-youre-dead/A major pitfall of human beings is eulogizing people once they are gone. The nicest comments you’ll ever hear about another person is when they are, sadly, no longer with us. Isn’t that depressing? We can’t appreciate people while they are here or to quote The Office “I wish there was a way to know...23463Wed, 04 Jan 2023 19:40:32 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/blogs/entry/23451-my-way-the-highway-and-breakfast/Anyone that’s been around baseball recently has heard some variation of “Old School” vs. “New School” baseball. It’s like asking someone to pick between bacon or sausage. Both are good, and you can like one more than the other, but you don’t have to hate someone or the meat over it. Makes no sense....23451Wed, 28 Dec 2022 18:35:24 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/blogs/entry/23447-happy-holidays-put-your-money-where-your-mouth-is/Alright, Twins fans... time to put your money where your mouth is. If it's all about spending money, if it's all about pushing the budget where it "should be", if it's all about signing a pitcher, once he receives his imminent release, it's time to sign Trevor Bauer. You're sick and tired of t...23447Sun, 25 Dec 2022 18:14:05 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/blogs/entry/23439-whats-the-difference-between-the-astros-and-the-twins/Seems like the dumbest question ever but it’s a great place to start. What does the World Series champion do that we don’t?    Something I love to reference when it comes to the Twins is the “dark years”. It was those years that ruined the pinstripe cream uniforms. I can’t look at those u...23439Wed, 21 Dec 2022 21:52:55 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/blogs/entry/23431-joey-gallo-your-dads-least-favorite-player/To say Joey Gallo was bad last year would be like saying a turd isn't particularly tasty... it hardly describes the full truth. He hit .160 with 19 homers and a .638 OPS. Not to mention the 163 punch-outs in 410 plate appearances, that's just shy of a 40% strike-out rate. Absurd. His defense took a...23431Sat, 17 Dec 2022 19:36:44 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/blogs/entry/23420-swim-swammi-slippy-slappy-swenson-swanson/As the offseason has unfolded I’ve been softening my stance on the Twins making a push for Dansby Swanson. As a shortstop and leader in the clubhouse, sometimes the best ability is availability. He has missed two games in the last three years which is WILD with how players are managed in Major Leag...23420Wed, 14 Dec 2022 20:35:07 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/blogs/entry/23419-signing-carlos-correa-just-because-you-can-doesnt-mean-you-should/  Some of the best advice you will ever get- just because you can doesn't mean you should. Is it disappointing to see a great talent go elsewhere ABSOLUTELY. For the the long term health of the franchise is it for the best? Probably. A Shortstop whose value primarily comes from his defense wil...23419Wed, 14 Dec 2022 06:03:00 +0000
