But since coming north, both players have seen the...5526Mon, 24 Apr 2017 05:06:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-minor-league-report-423-kranson-cranks-beeker-deals-r5525/Minnesota had stuck with their Opening Day roster through the team's first 17 games. That changed on Sunday as first baseman Kennys Vargas and left-handed reliever Buddy Boshers were recalled from Rochester. To make room for them on the roster, the Twins placed right-hander Justin Haley on the dis...5525Mon, 24 Apr 2017 00:25:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/game-thread-twins-v-tigers-421-710pm-ct-r5521/Our Twins kick off a three-game series with the Tigers this weekend. The last time we faced the Tigers... we were in first place. Since that time we have been re-accommodated into last place. We boarded the division, sat in our first-place seat and the Cleveland Indians security officers came arou...5521Fri, 21 Apr 2017 11:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-pitching-success-is-not-sustainable-r5518/They say ignorance is bliss, and there’s plenty of validity to that statement. You ever want to enjoy a hot dog again? Don’t look up what’s in them or how they're made. And if you want to believe the Twins will have a good pitching staff, you’ll want to stop reading this article. There’s no questi...5518Fri, 21 Apr 2017 00:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/will-the-save-stat-go-away-r5519/If you follow me on Twitter or even if you’ve engaged me in conversation about bullpens, you know how deeply my hatred burns for modern-day bullpen usage. For example, the practice of saving your closer for a save opportunity that he’s never going to get because you ran out a middle-reliever again...5519Thu, 20 Apr 2017 20:41:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/duffey-presents-pleasant-dilemma-for-twins-r5514/If someone who didn't watch Monday's game happened to glance at the box score, scanning only numbers without the corresponding names, he might have assumed this pitching line belonged to Cleveland's bullpen ace Andrew Miller: 2.2 scoreless innings of relief, one hit allowed, no walks, four strikeo...5514Wed, 19 Apr 2017 03:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/santiago-starting-to-turn-heads-r5512/As Nick wrote earlier in the week, Ervin Santana has been a legitimate threat in the Twins rotation. Santana is off to a tremendous start to the season and it's easy to see why the Twins decided to hang on to the veteran right-handed hurler. What might be more of a surprise than Santana's start ar...5512Wed, 19 Apr 2017 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/ervin-santana-is-legit-r5509/Maybe it's the team's history with free agents. Perhaps it is the perpetual up-and-down pattern of his career. Or maybe it's just a well justified skepticism about the sustainability of any good starting pitcher wearing a Minnesota Twins uniform. Whatever the reasons, people have had a hard time b...5509Mon, 17 Apr 2017 01:02:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/episode-305-hey-girl33-hey-girl33-r5505/Aaron and John, courtesy of the Minnesota Corn Growers, console each other about Byron Buxton, wonder why Twins fans can't appreciate Miguel Sano, try Chef Jeff's Duck Pastrami at the Iron Door Pub, raise eyebrows at the Twins pitching (especially Phil Hughes), remind you to hang out with them and...5505Sat, 15 Apr 2017 03:25:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/game-thread-twins-v-white-sox-414710pm-ct-r5504/As we prepare for a home series with the Chicago White Sox there is something amazing happening that I need to let you all know about. I have this thing… I have a few things actually but specifically this one thing that is me. If I have been to a stadium… I buy a polo from that team and this colle...5504Fri, 14 Apr 2017 12:47:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/twins-have-luxury-of-home-heavy-schedule-through-may-r5502/The phrase taking things one day at a time is a baseball cliche for a reason: Looking ahead can be the kiss of death. After an 0-9 start to last season, the Twins are 6-3 this year. So they're going to be much better this season, right? Well, the marathon of a season has just begun ... but maybe....5502Fri, 14 Apr 2017 08:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/only-one-call-away-r5500/I had a discussion at work the other day with a friend asking who would be called up when or if the Twins make the move from 13 pitchers to 12 pitchers. It got me thinking well beyond just that singular question. Looking around the diamond, if a certain player or a certain position had an injury o...5500Thu, 13 Apr 2017 05:22:00 +0000
