With the Cleveland Indians blowing out the Detroit Tigers, the Twins needed to hold serve against the Chicago White Sox to maintain their 3 1/2 game lead in the American League Central. Fortunately Michae...8323Wed, 28 Aug 2019 03:23:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/taking-the-twins-to-the-gridiron-r8317/College football is officially underway, and while the NFL is slogging through the meaningless exhibition slate it is nearly to the point that games count.

I’ve opined that a five-game lead by the end of the month seems doable, and another turn with the Chicago White Sox should be conducive to some victo...8315Tue, 27 Aug 2019 13:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/stop-throwing-the-twins-fastballs-r8318/It’s no secret that Minnesota has been successful on the offensive side of the ball this season. Some of this success can be attributed to Minnesota’s core players taking the next step, while other veteran additions have certainly aided the cause. Teams need to be successful in a variety of situat...8318Tue, 27 Aug 2019 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/the-hazy-future-of-fernando-romero-r8320/When it comes to the Twins bullpen and its deficiencies, you can accuse the front office of poor planning.
