Gibby pitched six no-hit innings and struck out six Baltimore batters. Ryan Pressly recorded another five outs before the Orioles finally broke up the no-no. The bats also had a big night too, as the Twins hit their first three homers of the season. Snapshot (chart vi...6572Sun, 01 Apr 2018 02:09:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/as-rosario-shows-raw-power-comes-in-many-forms-r6571/Sometimes, power hitting comes in the package you'd expect. It's easy to see how Miguel Sano produces the strength to hit a ball into the third deck. Similarly, no one wonders how brawny Logan Morrison managed to poke 38 into the stands last year. But Eddie Rosario? Minnesota's unlikely cleanup hi...6571Sat, 31 Mar 2018 21:35:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/season-preview-kyle-gibson-r6568/One of the biggest questions entering the 2018 season is what we can expect to get from Kyle Gibson. Much attention has been given to the differences in his first and seond half, so I'd like to take a look and see which version of Kyle Gibson we will get in 2018 or if it is somewhere in between....6568Sat, 31 Mar 2018 01:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-relief-pitcher-projections-for-2018-r6565/It is time for round two of my player projections for the 2018 Minnesota Twins. In the first edition I broke down the starting pitchers, and now it is time to take a look at the bullpen. The Twins bullpen received an added boost this offseason, after replacing Matt Belisle, Dillon Gee and Buddy Bo...6565Fri, 30 Mar 2018 15:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/a-tale-of-two-halves-taylor-rogers39-keys-to-success-r6564/If there is one thing we can all agree on regarding the 2018 Minnesota Twins, it’s that they have a higher floor than their 2017 counterparts. Still, established pieces are going to have to maintain or raise the level of their game in order to keep their jobs. Most notably; Taylor Rogers. Rogers...6564Fri, 30 Mar 2018 01:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/longest-tenured-minnesota-twins-opening-day-2018-r6566/I don’t think it will surprise any of our readers that Joe Mauer is the longest-tenured Minnesota Twins player. On Thursday in Baltimore, he was on his 15th Twins Opening Day roster, and it was his 14th start on Opening Day, surpassing Harmon Killebrew on that list. The only time he was on the Ope...6566Fri, 30 Mar 2018 00:23:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/reed-is-all-in-on-the-super-bullpen-strategy-r6561/Baseball is an ever evolving game. We’ve had the introduction of heavy shifts, inclusion of advanced analytics, and adaptation of swing paths. Over time, the game continues to change the way in which teams believe they are best suited to win. One of the most noticeable changes to roster constructi...6561Fri, 30 Mar 2018 00:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/bal-3-min-2-opening-d%E2%80%99oh33-r6563/Jake Odorizzi turned in an excellent start in his Twins debut, throwing six shutout innings. Unfortunately, he got no run support and fellow new Twins Zach Duke and Fernando Rodney couldn’t hold down the Orioles. The only scoring from the Twins came in the form of a Robbie Grossman two-run pinch-h...6563Thu, 29 Mar 2018 22:51:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/report-dozier-extension-talks-die-r6562/There is plenty of hope at the dawning of a new season. Every team starts with an equal playing field. No batters have struck out. Pitchers have a perfect ERA. There are 162 games to separate the contenders from the pretenders. It’s an exciting time for every fan. The beginning of a new season als...6562Thu, 29 Mar 2018 16:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/game-thread-twins-orioles-329205pm-ct-r6560/I last wrote a game thread opener on October 3rd, 2017. After the conclusion of that disappointing loss to the Yankees, I turned off my brain for the off-season. All this week, I’ve known that I will have to crank it up again but I’m having a little trouble getting it started up after the long lay...6560Thu, 29 Mar 2018 11:14:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-at-orioles-series-preview-r6559/The Twins are opening the 2018 season with a five-game road trip starting in Baltimore on Thursday. Last season the Twins went 5-2 against the Orioles, including sweeping a three-game series in Baltimore. It is imperative that the Twins get off to a fast start to begin the season, with a few easie...6559Thu, 29 Mar 2018 03:11:00 +0000
