Right now, the Twins own the best record in baseball, the lineup has thump throughout, and the pitching staff is performing at a clip few could’ve seen coming. As good teams...7780Thu, 09 May 2019 23:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/gleeman-and-the-geek-ep-425-live-at-first-draft-r7781/Aaron and John record a live podcast with 150+ listeners at First Draft Taproom and Kitchen.You can listen by downloading us from iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, iHeartRadio or find it at GleemanAndTheGeek.com.

But now that no longer seems to be the case. Obviously with Joe Mauer’s retirement, it is time for a new Minnesota Twin to take over that role, but who is it? Yesterday, I was trying to answer that question for mys...7778Thu, 09 May 2019 16:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/martin-perez-and-a-cutter%E2%80%99s-birth-r7775/For many Twins fans, the signing of Martin Perez wasn’t viewed in a positive light. The left-handed hurler had struggled in recent years with Texas. So far this season, he’s turned into one of the bright spots on a very strong Twins team. One pitch has made all the difference for Mr. Perez. Maybe...7775Thu, 09 May 2019 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/min-9-tor-1-twins-steamroll-toronto-r7777/The bats stayed hot and the pitching continued to dominate as the Minnesota Twins rolled through Trent Thornton, the bullpen, and the Toronto Blue Jays in the series finale. The offense got going and Kyle Gibson was dealing as the Twins picked up the series sweep.

Joe Mauer retired. Brian Dozier was traded. Kennys Vargas is now playing in Japan, though that isn’t going real well. Those three players ranked one, two and three when this list came out a year ago. This li...7772Wed, 08 May 2019 05:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/min-3-tor-0-berrios-hurls-gem-twins-get-second-straight-shutout-r7770/For much of the first month of the season, the attention has been placed on the Twins lineup. However, over the past few weeks it has been the pitching staff that has led the Twins to their success. Over the past seven games, the Twins pitching staff as a whole has combined for a 1.98 ERA.

The lineup is full of sluggers that are ambushing opposing pitchers. With a focus on attacking early and often, they’ve gotten their best hacks in against fastballs and offerings flipped across early in the coun...7769Tue, 07 May 2019 23:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/min-8-tor-0-perez-impresses-bats-bounce-stroman-early-r7767/Martin Perez, the bullpen, and the bats were hot tonight as the Minnesota Twins cruised through the Toronto Blue Jays in the series opener tonight.

The team has been able to do this with one of their best sluggers, Miguel Sano, recovering from an injury. Sano is in the midst of a rehab stint and he is getting close to rejoining the big-league club....7766Mon, 06 May 2019 19:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-424-are-the-twins-for-real-r7764/Aaron and John talk about the Twins making it through hell week with a winning record, Miguel Sano nearing a comeback, Martin Perez's magical cutter, the unique nature of the rebuilt lineup, Rocco Baldelli learning how to manage a bullpen on the fly, and Mitch Garver's pitch-framing improvement.
