The Twins were playing a late game in Oakland. But all in all it was a pretty quiet day in the Twins world otherwise. Let's check the farm.

Building a bench that can make a difference late in a ballgame is tough, and in fact most teams in baseball have struggled to...3943Sun, 19 Jul 2015 00:38:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/5-ways-the-twins-have-improved-in-2015-r3940/Midway through the 2015 season the Minnesota Twins remain a surprising contender. For anyone that has watched this team for the previous four seasons, it is difficult to wrap your head around how this has happened. While some may point to Paul Molitor’s leadership or Torii Hunter’s veteran presenc...3940Fri, 17 Jul 2015 14:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/st-paul-saints-fireworks-on-and-off-the-field-r3938/Another St. Paul Saints home stand, another couple of series victories for the home team.

All I've ever wanted was for games in September to mean something and so far so good… it's looking like September just might mean something after all. The trade deadline just might matter. Everything looks like it just might matter.

Brian Dozier sent walk-off blasts into the stands for the Twins. He had hopes of winning the Final Vote. He was beaten out by a Royal, and then, he was the only one that mattered. Following his eighth inning blast, the Twins' Dozier was the only second basemen in the...3933Thu, 16 Jul 2015 13:57:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/interview-with-si-writer-jay-jaffe-thoughts-on-mauer-r3934/One of my favorite people to follow on twitter for baseball news and analysis is Jay Jaffe of Sports Illustrated.
