Er, correction: it's extremely difficult not to focus on the struggles of the Twins offense. The club's underperforming bats have become a nightly source of frustration. But let's take a moment here to appreciate how stunningly good the Min...6810Mon, 28 May 2018 21:14:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-daily-picnic-with-the-saints-2018/Join the whole Twins Daily gang at the Picnic With The Saints event on Friday June 8th.

Hopefully it’ll be a night we remember as the moment the offense got turned around in the right direction. It is Memorial Day after all. Memorial Day is what it says. It is a day to remember which admittedly is harder as we age...6809Mon, 28 May 2018 11:28:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-370-at-a-walk-off-loss-for-words-r6808/Aaron and John talk about Miguel Sano's return from the disabled list, the Twins trading Phil Hughes in a deal that had very little to do with Phil Hughes, Byron Buxton looking lost and hurt, Fernando Romero's great first five starts, Chris Carter and Nick Gordon joining Triple-A Rochester, and th...6808Mon, 28 May 2018 04:17:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/week-in-review-wasted-starts-r6807/We are now nearly two months into the season and the Twins' offense has been nothing short of atrocious so far. A big part of these struggles is their inability to put together the big inning. The Twins have not had a five-run inning since April 27th, against the Cincinnati Reds. So far this year...6807Mon, 28 May 2018 04:07:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-minor-league-report-527-royce-lewis-for-president33-r6806/Welcome to summer! Nothing seems to go together quite like grilling out and watching a baseball game. Memorial Day weekend is typically the unofficial kick-off to summer. Most teams are starting to figure out if they are pretenders or contenders. There is a lot of baseball left to be played in the...6806Mon, 28 May 2018 01:17:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/sea-3-min-1-worst-birthday-ever-r6805/It was Jose Berrios’ 24th birthday and all his teammates could get him was one stinkin’ run. He exited this game in the eighth inning with the scored tied at 1-1. The bullpen allowed Seattle to take the lead. They better have gotten him a really, really nice card.

Almost a week ago, he was designated for assignment. It looked like the team was going to have to eat over $20 million in salary. For a team and ownership group like the Twins, this was a lot of money left on the table. However, the San D...6804Sun, 27 May 2018 18:44:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/sea-4-min-3-zuni-not-again-r6803/What did the Twins ever do to Mike Zunino? Last season, he hit four homers in just six games against Minnesota. Saturday night (Sunday morning?) he eviscerated a ball in the 12th inning for a walk-off homer. Byron Buxton had to leave this game after a hard collision in center field.

Oh, and having James Paxton on the mound didn’t hurt, either. Max Kepler had a great game, but Paxton and the rest of the M’s staff held the lineup i...6801Sat, 26 May 2018 04:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/why-isn39t-mitch-garver-playing-more-r6795/Jason Castro recently became the latest in a series of injuries and suspension which have contributed to a pedestrian start to the 2018 season for the Minnesota Twins.
