I see a lot of pessimism when it comes to sports. And who can blame you? Few fans in America love their teams as much as you do and, at the same time, have endured such traumatic playof...7818Sat, 18 May 2019 18:33:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/min-7-sea-1-venezuelan-night-in-seattle-r7817/It was all about Venezuelans for Minnesota at T-Mobile Park on Friday night. Martín Pérez pitched yet another great game, Ehire Adrianza and Marwin Gonzalez both had multi-hit nights and, of course, Willians Astudillo chipped in too. The Twins win their fourth consecutive game, hold the second bes...7817Sat, 18 May 2019 05:04:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-prospect-spotlight-luis-arraez-r7816/The Twins announced earlier today that Luis Arraez, who was just recently promoted to Triple A, was being called up to the big leagues for the first time in his career. Arraez is a familiar name to regular readers of Twins Daily's minor league coverage, but let's take a quick look at some video to...7816Sat, 18 May 2019 03:42:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-daily-2019-mlb-draft-top-50-prospect-31-40-r7814/If you are looking to read up on some of the high school talent that the Twins might be looking at with their second pick in the draft, at pick 39, this is the post for you as 7 of the 10 players featured are prep players, including 5 prep infielders. We also see a player who has shot up the draft...7814Fri, 17 May 2019 15:41:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/min-11-sea-6-total-system-failure-for-the-other-guys-r7813/The Twins trounced Seattle starter Erik Swanson, saddling him with eight earned runs in his start that lasted just three innings, and the Mariners made a few embarrassing missed-catch errors in the outfield. It was a performance that gave me flashbacks to the 2016 Twins. You could almost feel bad...7813Fri, 17 May 2019 05:16:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/buxton-a-star-in-center-and-9th-r7809/It wasn’t long ago that Paul Molitor was attempting to show belief in Byron Buxton by batting him third to start the 2017 season. Minnesota’s centerfielder responded by going 1-18 with 11 strikeouts. Coming off a lost 2018 season, Buxton has batted in the final spot in the lineup during all 39 of...7809Thu, 16 May 2019 22:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/finer-points-rule-5-r7808/Over the last few weeks, we've taken a deeper dive into how options work, when the fourth option is allowed and how DFA and waivers work. This week, we'll look at the Rule 5 rules, including the draft and roster implications. To dive deep, we'd have to talk about very, very small details and you w...7808Thu, 16 May 2019 12:56:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/across-the-meadow-may-15-r7807/On the evening of May 15, John and Jeremy covered the latest happenings in Twins Territory. Coming off a win against the Angels, the Twins made a roster move (without a corresponding move) before catching a flight to Seattle. We speculate what that move might be. We also talk about Mitch Garver's...7807Thu, 16 May 2019 12:51:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-minor-league-report-515-sammons-spins-and-cabezas-captivates-for-affiliates-on-the-bump-r7805/There wasn’t a ton to write home about offensively on the farm today, but a few pitching performances stood out. Bryan Sammons was again solid for the Fort Myers Miracle, and Andrew Cabezas turned in his best start of an already good year for the Cedar Rapids Kernels. A big blast by Jared Akins wa...7805Thu, 16 May 2019 02:11:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/min-8-laa-7-twins-squeak-out-victory-r7804/On a beautiful Wednesday day game, the Minnesota Twins were able to pick up another series win, this time against the Los Angeles Angels, as the bats came back to life to help Jake Odorizzi pick up his sixth win of the season. The Twins came into this game on a little offensive slump in the past t...7804Wed, 15 May 2019 21:01:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/min-4-laa-3-throw-down-r7802/Byron Buxton made a beautiful defensive play — this time with his arm — but it ended with Mitch Garver being assisted off the field, not putting any weight on his left leg. It was the loudest Target Field has been all year, immediately followed by concern for Garver, who hit his ninth home run ear...7802Wed, 15 May 2019 02:54:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/lew-ford-continues-to-live-his-baseball-dream-r7799/Minnesota had been home to some other cult heroes before Willians Astudillo started to fill the role. Lew Ford debuted with the Twins as a 26-year old rookie in 2003. From 2004-2006, he averaged 135 games played on two teams that won the AL Central. Chants of “LEEEEWWWWWW” rained down from the Met...7799Wed, 15 May 2019 02:30:00 +0000
