What else went on in the land of the Twins minor league system? Follow me and I’ll take you through it.

The Twins scored six runs in the first game and 16 more in the second leg of the doubleheader in Baltimore tonight. Eddie Rosario hit three home runs on the day, giving him nine on the season already. Game 1: Box Score Berri...7705Sun, 21 Apr 2019 03:13:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/pitch-framing-a-sabermetric-based-analysis-of-twins-play-by-play-broadcaster-dick-bremer-r7703/Over the past decade, pitch framing has become a hot topic, not only in how we've begun to identify its value, but also in finding methods to quantify it, and coming to grips with its influence on the game. However, I contend that our focus has been far too narrow, and we must look beyond the catc...7703Sat, 20 Apr 2019 16:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/tor-7-min-4-rosario-homers-twice-as-twins-drop-game-series-r7699/After three encouraging starts to open the season, Michael Pineda was pounded in his fourth start today. He gave up as many runs in the fourth inning as he had all season prior to today. Eddie Rosario provided some pop, hitting his fifth and sixth home runs of the season, but it wasn’t enough. Bo...7699Thu, 18 Apr 2019 21:46:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/the-early-returns-from-michael-pineda-r7695/As the Twins get ready to finish up the four game series against the Blue Jays, Michael Pineda will take the mound for what will be his fourth start of the season. The early returns of his two-year contract have looked good so far as he was another cheap, low-risk signing by the Twins new manageme...7695Thu, 18 Apr 2019 14:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/across-the-meadow-april-17-r7698/On this Across the Meadow Podcast: - Reviewing all that has happened over the last week. - Was sending Cron the right move? - Do Rocco and Wes know what they're doing in terms of bullpen usage? - Who are the other bullpen options behind the current guys? - The good and the bad of the lineup. - Pim...7698Thu, 18 Apr 2019 13:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/min-4-tor-1-pitching-staff-redemption-night-r7697/It’s amazing how much easier things seem when you get an early lead. Toronto scored a run in the top of the first, but the Twins answered with two runs of their own and never looked back. Jake Odorizzi picked up his first win of the year after holding the Blue Jays to one run over 5 2/3 innings an...7697Thu, 18 Apr 2019 03:42:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-minor-league-report-417-thorpe-finds-his-groove-r7696/At the highest level, one of the Twins most prized pitching prospects settled into a groove for his best start on the young season. A scary scene in Pensacola halted the action in the midst of a victory. Down in Fort Myers, it was a less than ideal way to end a road trip, but home cooking is on th...7696Thu, 18 Apr 2019 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/tor-6-min-5-gut-punch-r7692/What’s a more gut-wrenching way to watch your team lose? When the bullpen gives up a lead? When the game-tying run is thrown out at the plate to end the bottom of the ninth? Both? Ah, you're good at this game. Must be a Minnesota sports fan. The bullpen allowed a pair of inherited runs to score an...7692Wed, 17 Apr 2019 03:01:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/questions-about-miguel-san%C3%B339s-return-r7688/Miguel Sanó is nearing his return to full-time activity. After going through so much since being named an All-Star, I don’t think there’s anything that would make him happier right now. But, looking back at all the events in the past 18 months of his career, Twins fans should ask themselves a list...7688Wed, 17 Apr 2019 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/could-the-twins-extend-alex-kirilloff-or-royce-lewis-r7691/Extending young players has become the new normal in baseball. Some young players are willing to give up free agent years for more financial stability. In some situations, teams have been able to work out those contracts with unestablished big-league players. Team friendly deals seem to be trendin...7691Wed, 17 Apr 2019 02:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/tor-5-min-3-about-that-bullpen-r7689/Martin Perez looked good in his first start as a Twin, but Adalberto Mejia gave up the lead in what was a four-run eighth inning for Toronto. This Twins team has had a knack for battling back so far in 2019, but their comeback attempts fell short tonight. Box Score Perez: 6.0 IP, 7 H, 1 ER, 2 BB,...7689Tue, 16 Apr 2019 02:53:00 +0000
