Read on and let's dig in. * Aaron Gleeman wrote a lengthy and thoughtful piece last week on the transformation that Joe Mauer has undergo...3796Mon, 15 Jun 2015 13:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-vs-yankees-part-3-a-twin-defects-to-the-damn-yankees-r3791/Following Harmon Killebrew's historic home run versus the Yankees in 1965, the Twins competed for postseason spots annually for the next half dozen years. But they didn't return to the postseason until 1969 when they won the AL West under new and controversial manager Billy Martin, a former Yankee...3791Mon, 15 Jun 2015 11:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/game-thread-twinscardinals-615-715pm-r3794/It feels kinda good to go on a big losing streak and remain in contention. Losing streaks happen and so do winning streaks. If the Twins can just keep hanging on... Another winning streak would do wonders for our chances. However... Here come the Cardinals and they are pretty cool customers. Here...3794Mon, 15 Jun 2015 02:19:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/reflections-on-byron-buxton39s-debut-r3793/I drove to Stout's on Snelling and Larpenteur with the pregame on the radio. Dazzle was introducing the national anthem as I parked. I walked to the doors with my brother, who had arrived separately. "We could be missing a diving catch," he said. We hustled up a step entering the bar, scouring the...3793Mon, 15 Jun 2015 01:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-episode-198-byron-buxton-day-r3792/Aaron and John talk about BYRON BUXTON (and some other stuff).

Understandably, there is a lot of excitement surrounding his arrival and...3790Sun, 14 Jun 2015 16:10:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/who39s-on-first-and-what39s-to-come-r3784/It's 2015, Joe Mauer is 32 years old, and maybe for the first time in his career, the red flags should be popping up all over the place. Not only is he having arguably the worst season of his career, but it also appears that there may be no end in sight. Whether it's the lingering effects from a...3784Sun, 14 Jun 2015 02:42:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/minnesota-twins-promote-byron-buxton33-r3788/I'll beg you to excuse the caps. Seems appropriate. In the middle of today's game versus the Texas Rangers, the Minnesota Twins announced that they are promoting Byron Buxton from AA-Chattanooga to join the team Sunday in Texas. They have not announced a corresponding move, but Buxton won’t be her...3788Sat, 13 Jun 2015 22:35:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/the-twins-are-regressing-where-is-the-mean-r3786/The Minnesota Twins are regressing, make no doubt about it. After splitting a series with the Boston Red Sox, Minnesota lost two out of three to the Milwaukee Brewers and were swept by the Kansas City Royals at Target Field, allowing Kansas City to pass them in the standings for first place in the...3786Sat, 13 Jun 2015 18:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/starting-rotation-remains-an-important-bright-spot-r3782/Let's face it. The events that unfolded at Target Field this week were disheartening, demoralizing and flat-out depressing. This team had a chance to make a real statement by defending first place at home against the division's top contender and came up completely flat, scoring just three times in...3782Fri, 12 Jun 2015 02:23:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/stauffer-dfa39d-tonkin-recalled-we-don39t-know-what-we-don39t-know-r3781/From the moment Tim Stauffer took the mound in spring training, Twins fans (and probably the Twins) have been concerned and wondering what is wrong with him. The concern stopped last night. The wondering - not so much. The Twins announced they had designated Stauffer for assignment after Wednesda...3781Thu, 11 Jun 2015 09:41:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/why-i39m-not-buying-the-twins-for-now-r3772/It’s early June, and the Minnesota Twins are not only keeping their proverbial heads above water, but in fact have the second-most wins and the best winning percentage in the entire American League. Yes this Twins team, who was picked by national types to be among the five or so worst teams in bas...3772Thu, 11 Jun 2015 00:58:00 +0000
