Unfortunately for the Twins, there hasn’t really been anyone who’s jumped out and seized those opportunities, until now … maybe? In his first start since being recalled from Rochester, Jake Cave went on a rampage. He was 3-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double and an RB...6867Sun, 10 Jun 2018 21:38:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-minor-league-report-69-rortvedt-produces-in-miracle-debut-r6866/The Twins made a few promotions of note recently, one being catcher Ben Rortvedt getting the call up to Fort Myers. He made his Miracle debut tonight and went 2-for-4 with two RBIs. Check out what else happened across the system on Saturday.

Again. This team is now 3-13 in one-run games. They only lost 18 games by a one-run deficit all of last season.

You’d think that’d be a recipe for victory, but the bullpen gave up three runs and the Twins scored only twice.

Last year, the Twins not only had the number one overall pick, but they also had three picks in the first 37 and five in the first 106. This year the Twins didn’t pick until...6861Fri, 08 Jun 2018 19:51:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/where-are-they-now-former-twins-if-denny-hocking-r6860/In 1989, the Minnesota Twins used their 52nd round draft pick to select a catcher named Denny Hocking from El Camino College, a junior college in Torrance, California. Drafted in a round that no longer exists, Hocking not only became the lowest-drafted player to play for the Twins, but he spent 13...6860Fri, 08 Jun 2018 05:52:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/st-paul-saints-amp-american-association-overview-r6858/The American Association is unique in that it is one of the few leagues that isn’t affiliated with a professional team. It is arguably one of the most successful independent leagues, with its roots going back to 2005. The league currently has 12 teams split up into two divisions, with a 13th team...6858Fri, 08 Jun 2018 02:53:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-prospects-and-the-final-piece-r6856/In any given season, a major league fanbase is going to clamor for the emergence and promotion of their top prospects. If a team is bad, the desire is for a level of excitement. Should things be going well, the hope is that the youngster would help to stoke the already burning flame.

You ever see that before? I’m stumped. Whatever the heck it is, Jose Berrios did it today. He pitched nine innings … wait, is that legal? That’s gotta be a misprint. One thing that does look familiar in the box score is a bunc...6857Thu, 07 Jun 2018 19:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/what39s-wrong-with-the-twins-a-fizzling-core-r6855/Imagine, if you will, how different the current Twins lineup would look with a cleanup hitter slashing .306/.409/.607, and leading the way with 14 home runs. Those were Miguel Sano's numbers a year ago today. Wednesday night's 0-fer dropped him to .202/.273/.419 this season. He's striking out at a...6855Thu, 07 Jun 2018 04:48:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/chw-5-min-2-time-is-running-out-r6854/It appeared the Twins had turned the corner when they took three of four from Cleveland over the weekend, but they’ve failed to carry over that momentum against one of the worst teams in baseball. There are a lot of games yet to be played this season, but the trade deadline is approaching fast. Th...6854Thu, 07 Jun 2018 04:14:00 +0000
