Like, most losses in baseball bad. Like, less than half as many wins (25) as the Texas Rangers (51) bad. We've come to terms with this bitter reality. But what really stings about the ongoing setbacks here in 2016 is the long-term implications. Almost every...4865Fri, 01 Jul 2016 04:03:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/phil-hughes-surgery-is-no-guaranteed-fix-r4864/On Tuesday the Twins announced that Phil Hughes will undergo surgery to combat thoracic outlet syndrome. “This isn’t career threatening,” Twins general manager Terry Ryan said. “It’s an injury that I think explains maybe a little bit of his issue.

Fans get to vote for their favorite players and this can result in ballot stuffing by certain fan bases across the country. For example, Chicago Cubs fans have been spending a lot of time voting...4861Thu, 30 Jun 2016 02:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/mauer-outage-r4859/During the month of April, while the Minnesota Twins stumbled out of the gates with a nine-game losing streak and ultimately finished with a 7-17 record, one storyline broke through the overarching dreariness as a shining beacon of hope. It looked as though Joe Mauer, finally, was back.

We play them almost as often as we do the Royals, Indians and Tigers. I can’t be certain but we might even play them again. The Good Guys vs the Bad Guys.

We know they are the bad guys...4858Tue, 28 Jun 2016 10:27:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/what-would-happen-if-mlb-held-an-expansion-draft-r4856/The NHL announced expansion to Las Vegas last week. With that came news of an Expansion Draft. You may have seen AJ Mansour’s article at Vikings Journal where he asked What Would Happen If The NFL Held An Expansion Draft? It was a very interesting article, and of course, it got me thinking about...4856Tue, 28 Jun 2016 02:41:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/setting-up-for-the-second-half-r4853/On Sunday, the Minnesota Twins played their 75th game of the season. Quickly closing in on the halfway point, they are on pace for a 52-110 record. Even if the Twins manage to play .500 ball the rest of the way, they'll finish with 94 losses.
