Minnesota will be putting a bow on their 2019 AL Central Division title and they’ll turn their attention to the postseason. New York and Houston look like they’ll battle for the best record until the final day, but it’s certainly The Bronx th...8450Wed, 25 Sep 2019 02:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-game-recap-924-odorizzi39s-gem-cuts-the-twins-magic-number-to-2-r8456/With the Cleveland Indians on a mission down the stretch, the Minnesota Twins have needed to do their own dirty work to try to clinch their first division title since 2010. Luckily, the Twins have taken care of business, so far, against the bottom-feeders of the American League Central, and with t...8456Wed, 25 Sep 2019 01:25:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/report-twins-investigating-giants-over-sam-dyson-trade-r8455/Minnesota acquiring Sam Dyson at the trade deadline was one of the team’s highlight moves as the bullpen was conceived to be one of the team’s greatest weaknesses. He was in the middle of a terrific season with the Giants as he posted a 2.47 ERA and a 6.71 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He was brought i...8455Tue, 24 Sep 2019 23:43:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/series-preview-dining-in-the-doldrums-r8449/This stretch of games was a big reason that the Minnesota Twins were the favorite to win the division despite a tough road in July and August. Thirteen games against the bottom of the AL Central was going to allow them to get fat, and that has played out as expected. With one final series in Detro...8449Tue, 24 Sep 2019 14:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-445-playoff-pitching-r8453/Aaron and John talk about the state of the Twins' bullpen (good!) and rotation (bad!) heading into the playoffs, Ron Gardenhire playing a weird part in all of this, Nelson Cruz and Miguel Sano crushing in tandem, and what an ideal playoff lineup might look like.

Miguel Sano missed time at the beginning of the year because of a freak off-season injury and now he has become the team’s record-breaking 30-home...8451Tue, 24 Sep 2019 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twelve39s-a-crowd-handicapping-the-playoff-pitching-staff-r8452/If you'd told me two months ago that the Twins would be so brimming with quality bullpen talent by the end of September, they'd be looking at leaving out deserving candidates from the postseason roster... well, I'd have given you a real funny look. But, here we are. Even with deadline centerpiece...8452Tue, 24 Sep 2019 00:25:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/week-in-review-closing-in-r8448/The Minnesota Twins charged toward 300 home runs and became the sixth-winningest team in franchise history during a milestone-filled week that saw them carve their magic number down to three. As the Twins close in on a champagne-popping celebration and their first division title in nine years, her...8448Mon, 23 Sep 2019 02:10:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/the-best-free-agent-signings-in-twins-history-r8447/Nelson Cruz clocked his 40th home run over the weekend and in the process became a member of the 400-home run club. Earlier in the year, I wrote about his unlikely quest for 400 home runs with the biggest caveat being that he didn’t hit his first home runs until he was 26 years old. Now he’s on th...8447Mon, 23 Sep 2019 01:10:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-game-recap-922-twins-offense-erupts-for-twelve-runs-over-royals-r8446/The magic number is three! In a game where more questions about the strating pitching were surfaced rather than answered, the Twins were still able to pull out the win to go along with a series win. The bullpen was excellent once again despite having to go nearly seven innings, Miguel Sano hit two...8446Sun, 22 Sep 2019 22:06:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/randy-dobnak-should-be-the-twins-game-2-starter-r8445/I know what you are probably thinking: “Whoa whoa whoa, hold on, if there is one thing that is set about the Minnesota Twins starting rotation, it’s Jose Berrios and Jake Odorizzi are their clear cut one and two starters.” This is a sentiment that I completely agree with and is why I think startin...8445Sun, 22 Sep 2019 15:38:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-game-recap-921-twins-blow-lead-implode-in-ninth-r8444/With Cleveland losing to the Philadelphia Phillies, the Minnesota Twins looked to do their part in lowering the magic number in game three of a four-game series against the Kansas City Royals. Jose Berrios was on the bump for Minnesota, looking to pitch his third straight great game. Things didn’t...8444Sun, 22 Sep 2019 03:19:00 +0000
