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).

From the batter’s box, Alex Kirilloff and his 4-4 day stole the show. Read about the rest of the happenings from the farm today.

On the other hand, you’re probably not going to lose many games in which Bobby Wilson hits a home run. Both of those things happened in Wednesday afternoon’s game, but it was the Twins’ bullpen that real...7130Wed, 15 Aug 2018 20:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/min-5-pit-2-odorizzi-polanco-spark-comeback-r7128/Jake Odorizzi looked like he was going to completely derail in the second inning. He gave up a pair of runs on two hits and a couple of walks. Meanwhile, Pirates starter Jameson Taillon was perfect through the first three frames. That script flipped real quick. Odorizzi averted the train wreck. Th...7128Wed, 15 Aug 2018 03:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/what-to-do-with-byron-buxton-r7125/On Tuesday, the Minnesota Twins activated Byron Buxton from his fourth separate stint on the disabled list this season. It's been a nightmarish year for the outfielder, but now Minnesota must look ahead. How should the Twins handle their embattled franchise centerpiece, presently in Triple-A, as t...7125Wed, 15 Aug 2018 00:29:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/trevor-hildenberger-and-tipping-pitches-r7123/Following the trade of Fernando Rodney, the role of closer has been undecided but Trevor Hildenberger seemed as good of a replacement as any for a team that was clearly focused on the future. There was adequate enough reason to give Hildenberger a chance to convert saves. For starters he had perfo...7123Tue, 14 Aug 2018 02:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-384-the-experience-shoots-its-last-arrow-r7120/Aaron and John talk about the Twins trading Fernando Rodney, Logan Morrison's season mercifully coming to an end, Kohl Stewart's surprising call-up and MLB debut, Tyler Austin getting his big chance, Ervin Santana's bad pitching and headline-grabbing quotes, and the upcoming event at Target Field...7120Mon, 13 Aug 2018 00:25:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/week-in-review-stumbling-and-grumbling-r7119/The Twins lost two series, and their beloved closer. It wasn't a great week, and the messaging from the clubhouse wasn't great either. Your full recap lies ahead. Weekly Snapshot: Mon, 8/6 through Sun, 8/12 *** Record Last Week: 2-5 (Overall: 54-63) Run Differential Last Week: -16 (Over...7119Mon, 13 Aug 2018 00:18:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/join-twins-daily-at-baseball-prospectus39-event-at-target-field-r7114/7114Sun, 12 Aug 2018 22:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/det-4-min-2-stewart-debuts-bats-slump-in-loss-r7118/Kohl Stewart’s MLB debut got off to a great start, but he eventually ran into some trouble in the fifth inning. The bigger issue, however, was how punchless the Twins’ offense was. It’s pretty hard to win if you can only score two runs. The Twins could only muster four hits on the afternoon. Snap...7118Sun, 12 Aug 2018 20:14:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/winner-announced-for-stefon-diggs-signed-photo-from-twins-daily-and-fanhq-r7092/The winner of the Stefon Diggs autographed picture was Alice Moon.

It was certainly an experience, as Hildy gave up two runs, but whatever works, I guess. Maybe he was paying too close attention...7116Sun, 12 Aug 2018 01:44:00 +0000
