It doesn’t count as a 4-game series because it’s a home and home so that means that it’s a two two-game series against the same team back to back. Two starting tonight in Minneapolis followed by two in Milwaukee. I know that i...5949Mon, 07 Aug 2017 12:04:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/gleeman-amp-the-geek-ep-327-interview-with-twins-gm-thad-levine-r5947/Twins general manager Thad Levine sat down for an interview with Aaron at Target Field for the Baseball Prospectus event, followed by a roundtable discussion with Aaron, John, Parker Hageman, and Nick Nelson.

Brian Dozier was blunt in expressing his feelings about the front office's deadline approach, with the decisions to flip Jaime Garcia and Brandon Kintzler symbolizing a white flag of sorts. Dozier's frustration is understandable, the culmination of a career's worth of surrender.

Jose Berrios got off to a rough start, but got back on track, and Matt Belisle earned the team’s first save since Brandon Kintzler was traded away to Washing...5945Sun, 06 Aug 2017 23:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/tex-4-min-1-twins-struggle-to-score-without-sano-mauer-r5943/The Twins third and fourth hitters were Eduardo Escobar and Chris Gimenez. Ehire Adrianza was the starting first baseman. Also, Cole Hamels was on the hill for Texas. How many runs could we have expected them to score?

Seriously? Because there’s no way he’s an earthling. Colon, a 44-year-old man pushing 300-pounds who pumps 90 mph fastballs up to the plate, pitched a complete game for the Twins in a much-needed victory. And it was a fun one.

We have a rundown on last night’s game, an introduction to Dillon Gee, some minor league action (with a play from Mitch Garver that you have to see), Jorge Polanco’s struggles, and breaking down Adalberto Mejia’s mechanics.

That about says it all. Adalberto Mejia lasted just four innings, but that was in part due to the fact that his teammates made a couple of crucial misplays.

What started out as a surprising season has leveled off some. While the decline has hit some players harder than others, likely no one has felt the dip more than shortstop Jorge Polanco. The question is, what’s wrong, and can he fix it?...5935Fri, 04 Aug 2017 02:58:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/game-thread-twins-v-rangers-83-710pm-ct-r5934/Our Twins return home for a 4-banger with the Rangers starting tonight. It’ll be good to be back home because it was a bad road trip - 2 wins and 6 losses over 8 games in the state of California. Bad road trips happen and bad road trips are never the original plan. I was having dinner with my fami...5934Thu, 03 Aug 2017 11:58:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/st-paul-saints-dog-days-playoff-push-r5929/As we approach the dog days of summer, the Saints begin what should be a very exciting playoff push and end to the season.
