Having made picks in the top six for the past three years, this draftee was supposed to represent less of a sure thing. Nabbing high school outfield Alex Kirillo...7202Thu, 06 Sep 2018 23:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/checking-in-on-playoff-races-world-series-odds-r7201/As we head into the final month of baseball’s regular season, Twins fans are stuck looking for September call-ups to get excited about as opposed to a postseason run. Still, we’re all baseball fans here, and come October I know I’m going to be watching a lot of the games despite the hometown nine...7201Thu, 06 Sep 2018 19:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/hou-9-twins-1-the-astros-are-really-good-at-baseball-r7199/The Astros have an incredible lineup. They play strong defense. Their starting rotation is remarkable. Their bullpen is deep and strong. And, Alex Bregman cannot be stopped. Or at least the Twins couldn’t find a way all series. Jorge Polanco and Max Kepler each had two hits, and Willians Astudillo...7199Thu, 06 Sep 2018 04:42:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-minor-league-report-95-kirilloff-paces-miracle-palm-perfects-title-r7198/The Minnesota Twins ended up just having two minor league affiliates in action tonight, but both found themselves on the right side of elimination games. The Miracle advanced to the Florida State League Championship Series thanks to a big performance by Alex Kirilloff, and Tyler Palm played a key...7198Thu, 06 Sep 2018 01:47:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-daily-roundtable-the-looming-mauer-decision-r7195/Twins Daily Roundtable is a weekly series. As part of this series, a question will be posed to the site’s writers and they will respond in 200 words or less (Some writers don’t like to stick to this limit).

For the second time this week (and ever), the Twins employed the “Opener” concept in Tuesday night’s game. This time, it was Trevor May who started and was replaced in the second inning by the...7197Wed, 05 Sep 2018 05:11:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/hou-4-min-1-astros-take-advantage-of-pivotal-polanco-error-r7192/Bad teams fail to execute, good teams make you pay for mistakes. Jorge Polanco committed an error on what could have been a double-play ball in the second inning and the Astros capitalized, scoring a pair of runs that frame. The Twins, on the other hand, had numerous scoring chances that they fail...7192Mon, 03 Sep 2018 21:27:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/across-the-meadow-the-buxton-saga-r7191/John and Jeremy cover every angle of the Twins decision to not bring Byron Buxton up in September. At a minimum, it's a curious decision. Some might call it shady. How does this effect the relationship between the organization and Buxton's camp? How could this impact the future between the two? Al...7191Mon, 03 Sep 2018 20:56:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/episode-387-the-byron-buxton-blues-r7190/Aaron and John talk about the Twins' decision not to make Byron Buxton a September call-up and what it means for his future, plus the pros and cons of 'The Opener' strategy, trading Bobby Wilson for Chris Gimenez, Jorge Polanco's declining defense, Jake Cave forcing the issue, and mailbag question...7190Mon, 03 Sep 2018 14:10:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/week-in-review-the-return-of-chris-gimenez-r7188/He’s back! The Twins re-acquired 2017 two-way sensation Chris Gimenez at the waiver trade deadline, and his presence on the roster immediately paid off. Gimenez pitched and hit a home run Sunday. Shohei Ohtani? Pfft, who needs 'em!?!?!? Read on for the full rundown of everything you need to know (...7188Mon, 03 Sep 2018 01:18:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/tex-18-min-4-speechless-r7187/What can you even say about this game? Well, to even call it Major League Baseball is an embarrassment on multiple levels. The Twins played very poorly, there was an epic ump show and things wound down with Chris Gimenez on the mound. What do we even call this? Total system failure is already take...7187Sun, 02 Sep 2018 22:43:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/tex-7-min-4-is-jose-ok-r7186/Jose Berrios is one of very few Twins players who has actually taken a step forward so far this season. He should be the least of our concerns, but you can’t ignore what’s been a continuing downward trend of late. The Rangers hit three home runs off Berrios, as he gave up five runs and lasted just...7186Sun, 02 Sep 2018 03:57:00 +0000
