While it’s the 3,000 hit club that all but guarantees enshrinement in Cooperstown, Joe will become just the 288th player ever to rea...6619Thu, 12 Apr 2018 22:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/game-thread-twins-v-white-sox-412-710pm-ct-r6618/The Twins kick off a 4-game series with the hated Chicago White Sox tonight. I say hated with complete disregard for everyone else’s opinion. I say hate because I hate them. Hate comes at various levels and I realize that some of you may be indifferent to the White Sox but with me… I would unplug...6618Thu, 12 Apr 2018 11:01:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/through-ten-games-twins-on-pace-for-97-wins-r6617/An NFL regular season involved 16 games played. An MLB season includes 162 games played. The Twins have now played ten games, or about 1/16th of their schedule, the equivalent of one NFL game. If it was an NFL schedule, the Twins - with their 6-4 record - would get a Win for the first game of the...6617Thu, 12 Apr 2018 06:01:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-minor-league-report-411-kirilloff-crushes-for-the-kernels-r6616/Alex Kirilloff busted out in a big way Wednesday evening, slugging his first two home runs for Cedar Rapids to lead a huge offensive output for the Kernels. Also tonight, Zack Littell tallied 10 strikeouts and Anthony Marzi hurled 6.1 shutout innings. Check out what else happened around the minors...6616Thu, 12 Apr 2018 02:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/min-9-hou-8-max-to-the-rescue33-r6614/Things didn’t need to be this interesting. The Twins held an 8-1 lead at one point. They were even up 8-6 entering the ninth, but the Astros just wouldn’t go away. Good thing Max Kepler was in beast mode. He blasted a walk-off homer, his second dinger of the game, to give the Twins a series victor...6614Wed, 11 Apr 2018 21:17:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/min-4-hou-1-odorizzi-twins-battle-their-way-to-victory-r6613/The defending World Series champion Astros entered tonight off to a great start, 9-2, and absolutely owned the Twins last season. New year, new look, new results. After falling 2-0 in a hard-fought game last night, the Twins came up victorious tonight thanks to a gutty performance by Jake Odorizzi...6613Wed, 11 Apr 2018 04:14:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/logan-morrison-bad-or-just-bad-luck-r6611/The start of Logan Morrison’s tenure with the Minnesota Twins has been, how can I put this delicately, worse than Byron Buxton’s start last season. Through his first 26 plate appearances, Morrison has a .043/.154/.087 slash line, and a -30 wRC+. This is not exactly what the Twins had in mind when...6611Wed, 11 Apr 2018 01:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/hou-2-min-0-failure-to-launch-r6610/This game was long, dare I say even boring at times, and it ended in the Twins being shut out. Not a great way to invest three and a half hours of your time, if we’re being honest. But, there were some moments of hope and baseball, as the game always seems to do, providing some strange performance...6610Tue, 10 Apr 2018 04:18:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-minor-league-report-49-kkkkkkkkkohl-stewart39s-2018-debut-r6609/Weather has won the day, but on Monday night all four Minnesota Twins affiliates (and the Minnesota Twins too) played their regularly scheduled games. Game-time temperatures were between 35 and 40 at Target Field and in Rochester and in Peoria, Illinois, where the Kernels played their first road g...6609Tue, 10 Apr 2018 02:51:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/changing-timeline-is-it-time-to-start-worrying-about-santana-r6607/Ervin Santana was supposed to be the rock at the top of the Twins rotation this season. Two months ago, the Twins found out their All-Star pitcher would be forced to have surgery on the middle finger of his throwing hand. Santana had calcium deposits in his right middle finger removed in early Feb...6607Tue, 10 Apr 2018 01:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-vs-astros-series-preview-r6608/On Monday, the Twins will face their toughest test thus far as the defending World Series champion Houston Astros are coming to town for a three-game set. Not only will the Twins pitchers have to deal with the vaunted Astros lineup, but the Twins hitters will have to face 1-2-3 in the Houston rota...6608Mon, 09 Apr 2018 23:07:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/game-thread-twins-v-astros-49-710pm-ct-r6606/When Derek Falvey and Thad Lavine were hired around 18 months ago, Twins fans had no idea what they were getting but they are starting to find out. The combination is showing a creativity that has never been seen before. Having a bald eagle attack the opposing starting pitcher was brilliant, out-o...6606Mon, 09 Apr 2018 11:13:00 +0000
