He was an older prospect, played catcher with some lackluster defense, and never topped any national lists. To put it both fairly and bluntly, the 2013 9th round selection wasn’t flashy in any sense of the word. If there’s something that alway...7800Wed, 15 May 2019 01:19:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/laa-5-min-4-more-missed-opportunities-r7797/The powerful Twins lineup mashed a couple more home runs tonight, but the team's struggles to deliver clutch hits continued. They combined to go 0-for-10 with runners in scoring position and Jose Berrios had his worst start of the season as the Twins dropped the series opener to the Angels 5-4.

Jorge Polanco and his tremendous start might be the person to stop this revolving door. Maybe it’s the newfound security of his off-season extension. Maybe he’s trying to make-up for his suspe...7794Tue, 14 May 2019 00:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/community-report-55-511-r7796/Traffic climbed again, we had several new writers in the blogs, contributing writers topping our charts, and an increase in comments in the forums.

Unlike a year ago, where the Twins didn’t have their 3rd pick until pick number 124, this year the Twins will have three picks in the top 54. This means the Twins should...7795Mon, 13 May 2019 16:42:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/week-in-review-firing-on-all-cylinders-r7793/With a sweep in Toronto and a split at home against Detroit, the Twins delivered another winning week and built upon their lead in the AL Central. Below the fold, we'll unpack another week filled with strong hitting and pitching performances.

Despite having one of the best lineups in baseball so far in 2019, the Twins actually rank near the bottom both in hitting with two outs and runners in scoring position and hitting with the bases loaded....7791Sun, 12 May 2019 21:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/kepler-finally-maxing-out-r7789/Max Kepler is my favorite Twins player, something that has been true ever since he stole my heart with his performance in July of 2016. If you remember (I truly hope you do not), the Twins were mostly unwatchable that year as they rolled over and died from the very beginning and slogged their way...7789Sun, 12 May 2019 04:41:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/min-8-det-3-now-witness-the-firepower-r7787/This Twins lineup is a thing of destructive beauty. The scary part: Even a couple of the guys who got off to slow starts are starting to catch fire. C.J. Cron hit a big three-run home run tonight. He also homered this afternoon, giving him nine round trippers in his last 25 games. Marwin Gonzalez...7787Sun, 12 May 2019 03:11:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/det-5-min-3-tigers-out-tater-twins-gardy-gets-tossed-r7786/The Tigers decided to take a page out of the Twins’ playbook and hit four home runs in the first of two games at Target Field today. Detroit ended up taking the advantage in the ninth inning, as Rocco Baldelli decided to go with Trevor Hildenberger over Taylor Rogers.
