We have a 4-game series in Detroit that begins tonight. Yesterday was my birthday, and to be honest, at the age of 52 my brain is pretty much mush. It’s been mush for a while but it gets mushier with each passing...6103Thu, 21 Sep 2017 11:54:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/those-damn-yankees-r6102/The cast of characters may have changed, but the story never does. The Twins went into Yankee Stadium this week and endured a beatdown. They are now 33-89 against the Bombers since Ron Gardenhire first took over in 2002, including 2-12 in the playoffs, and Wednesday's loss was their eighth in nine...6102Wed, 20 Sep 2017 23:36:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/nyy-11-min-3-twins-crumble-at-yankee-stadium-again-r6101/The Yankees completed their sweep with a bang, blowing out the Twins 11-3. That’s the bad news, and it definitely stings. The good news? The rest of the AL Wild Card contenders are steeped in mediocrity. No matter what happens with the Angels tonight the Twins will maintain their lead in the Wild...6101Wed, 20 Sep 2017 22:25:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/searching-for-relief-r6100/I know better. I know my ire surrounding Twins manager’s Paul Molitor’s bullpen usage is not really directed at Paul Molitor. It is directed at the baseball gods, for the baseball gods have given us these arms, arms that seem promising in spurts, but which have turned the sixth and seventh innings...6100Wed, 20 Sep 2017 12:44:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/nyy-5-min-2-tough-night-for-berrios-twins-r6099/The Twins led early but surrendered four unanswered runs and Jose Berrios lasted just 3.1 innings. Outside of Joe Mauer, this is an entirely different team than the one that endured so much heartbreak against the Yankees, yet the Twins continue to be snake bit. What gives? Snapshot (chart via Fan...6099Wed, 20 Sep 2017 04:11:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-334-escape-from-new-york-r6097/Aaron and John talk about the Twins' crucial series against the Yankees, the remaining schedules for the Twins and Angels, firing Doug Mientkiewicz, the fourth annual Twins Daily Touch 'Em All Pub Crawl, Kyle Gibson's latest turnaround, beating PECOTA, Blue Jays fans taking over Target Field, the...6097Tue, 19 Sep 2017 04:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/nyy-2-min-1-garcia-yankees-bullpen-dominate-twins-r6096/The Twins pitching staff, led by starter Ervin Santana, had a solid game Monday night at Yankee Stadium, but the bats were uncharacteristically quiet. The Twins have had the best offense in the American League in the second half, but could only muster four hits and struck out 13 times tonight. Sn...6096Tue, 19 Sep 2017 03:32:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/game-thread-twins-yankees-918605pm-ct-r6095/Off to Yankee Stadium for a 3-game series starting tonight, which also begins a 10-game road trip. These two teams are currently in possession of the two wild card spots with just 13 games to go. You can hear the dramatic music in the background, however, I am going to do my best to downplay the i...6095Mon, 18 Sep 2017 11:47:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-playoff-push-a-truly-cohesive-effort-r6094/On Sunday, when the Twins stormed back after falling behind early against the Blue Jays, it was fittingly a collective effort. The offense rallied with a seven-run second inning and Kyle Gibson settled in after a shaky start, combining with three relievers to help guide Minnesota to a much-needed...6094Mon, 18 Sep 2017 03:16:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/min-13-tor-7-mauer-grand-slam-among-4-twins-homers-in-comeback-victory-r6093/Things didn’t get off to a great start for the Twins Sunday afternoon, but oh boy did they end well. After spotting the Blue Jays a five-run lead, the Twins stormed back and not only caught Toronto, but ended up blowing them out.

We were all too busy having a great time to even notice (or maybe that was just me). Snapshot (chart via Fangraphs) The Twin...6092Sun, 17 Sep 2017 06:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/tor-4-min-3-pressley-fails-to-pounce-is-victim-of-a-bad-bounce-r6091/After a pair of big wins on big blasts, the Twins fell Friday due in large part to an unlucky bounce. Bartolo Colon got off to a nice start on Big Sexy night at Target Field, but things started to go a bit south and the bullpen couldn’t stop the bleeding. Ryan Pressly failed to pounce on a bunt an...6091Sat, 16 Sep 2017 03:57:00 +0000
