Another winning week serves as further evidence the Twins are very much legit contenders in the American League....7763Mon, 06 May 2019 00:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/nyy-4-min-1-twins-fizzle-bronx-drizzles-r7762/Sunday's Twins game at Yankee Stadium was both pushed back and called off early due to rain. In between, the Twins bats scored just one run and left eight men on base. The Twins had an opportunity to send their fan base into a frenzy by winning this series in New York, but instead they fizzled out...7762Sun, 05 May 2019 23:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-daily39s-weekly-review-428-54-r7760/This last week on Twins Daily, we had 28 new stories, a new writer of game recaps, a brand new blogger, and a comment section that made me personally very happy. Plus, growing traffic and some upcoming changes to one of the forum pages. Here is the site’s week in review….. Stories I count 28 stor...7760Sun, 05 May 2019 15:53:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/min-7-nyy-3-curse-this-r7758/Friday night’s ugly performance in a 6-3 defeat was yet another chapter in Twins futility in New York. Just when it feels like this franchise will be forever cursed at Yankee Stadium, the Twins went out and sent a reminder this afternoon. New team, new manager, new mojo. Curse? What curse? Box Sc...7758Sat, 04 May 2019 20:43:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/nyy-6-min-3-all-too-familiar-at-yankee-stadium-r7755/After taking the season series against the Astros at home on Thursday and improving to an MLB-best record, the Twins flew to New York to face the Yankees, their long-time nemesis, and lost the series opener, 6-3. It was a night of errors for Minnesota, which allowed three unearned runs. Box Score...7755Sat, 04 May 2019 02:25:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/on-slaying-stupid-dynasties-r7754/This weekend, you’ll see all kinds of stories about the Twins futility against the Yankees. But the Twins also have some history on their side. It isn’t often that one can define, to the moment, the end of an era, but such was the end of the Yankees three decade long domination of the American Lea...7754Fri, 03 May 2019 03:54:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/martin-perez-now-a-cut-above-r7748/During the offseason the Minnesota Twins signed Martin Perez to a one-year deal worth $4 million. They were able to add a team option for 2020, and the former Rangers top prospect appeared to be someone the front office intentionally targeted. Coming off a season with a 6.22 ERA and pedestrian sup...7748Thu, 02 May 2019 23:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/min-8-hou-2-twins-win33-take-season-series-vs-astros33-r7750/Entering this two-week stretch of four straight series against the Baltimore Orioles and the Houston Astros, many Twins fans might have looked at them as a wash. If the Twins could just take care of the Orioles, there won’t be much pressure on them to do well against the Astros. Well, not only did...7750Thu, 02 May 2019 20:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/minnesota39s-rotation-better-than-advertised-r7747/Entering the year, many fans knew what to expect out of Jose Berrios. Beyond that, the rotation was kind of murky. Minnesota has certainly taken advantage of playing some sub-par opponents to start the year. That said, good teams need to beat-up on lesser opponents and survive against strong teams...7747Thu, 02 May 2019 12:52:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-minor-league-report-51-williams-crushes-nightcap-rijo-smooth-early-r7746/More rainouts on the farm made for somewhat of a muted schedule on Wednesday, but the Kernels helped the organization to avoid a sweep with a big win in game two of their doubleheader. Rochester tallied runs despite coming up short, and Pensacola saw a 2018 breakout have an impact once again. Read...7746Thu, 02 May 2019 03:08:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/min-6-hou-2-martin33-martin33-martin33-r7745/I’m going to start calling Martin Perez “The Feather” because it’s starting to look like he may become a huge feather in the cap of the Twins’ front office and coaching staff. Perez 2.0, the new and improved version, is really catching on. He had a statement game tonight, holding Houston scoreless...7745Thu, 02 May 2019 03:02:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/finer-points-options-part-two-the-fourth-option-r7741/Last week, we took an in-depth look at how options in baseball work. It's an incredibly mundane series of rules and explanations with plenty of technicalities. Yet, there is one part of the usage of the rule that is far less understood, even inside of baseball itself: The Fourth Option. You've be...7741Thu, 02 May 2019 01:00:00 +0000
