Though trying to pinpoint the direction the Twins are going to go at #15 remains somewhat of a mystery. *Consensus (at least as far as I can reach) suggests all of A.J. Puk (1), Riley Pi...4718Thu, 19 May 2016 02:03:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/what-to-do-with-phil-hughes-r4717/One of the trends that I was most interested in following during spring training was the velocity readings from Phil Hughes. His drop-off in average fastball speed last year – down about 1.5 MPH from the previous season – was symptomatic of an overall reduction in effectiveness that turned him fro...4717Wed, 18 May 2016 03:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/a-glimpse-into-the-life-of-an-official-scorer-r4715/How is that a hit?” Most baseball fans have said this after the scoreboard flashes the result on a sharp grounder or botched fly ball. The person in charge of making these hit/error determinations is the official scorer, often an anonymous recorder of stats until his judgment puts him in the spotl...4715Wed, 18 May 2016 00:33:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/one-guy39s-plan-r4714/The Twins are now 10-27. Thirty-seven games into the season, they are 17 games under .500 and 13.5 games out of first place in the AL Central. In fact, they are 6.5 games out of fourth place in the division already. That's not to say it's completely out of the realm of possibility that the Twins c...4714Tue, 17 May 2016 12:20:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/the-torii-hunter-hangover-r4711/When a team starts out as poorly as the Twins have this season, fans are going to be left searching for answers. Is this Terry Ryan's fault for not having a better roster? Are the minor league coaches to blame for not preparing the team's top prospects? Or is there a much simpler answer? Over the...4711Tue, 17 May 2016 01:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/game-thread-twins-tigers-516610pm-ct-r4712/Well… it appears the Twins do have some fight in them. They have won two games in a row and when you consider that they have only won 1 game all year… that makes two in a row all the more impressive. You’d think that the Twins two-game winning streak would be the talk of the baseball world but it’...4712Mon, 16 May 2016 21:08:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/nine-innings-of-notes-r4710/The Minnesota Twins are on a winning streak. On Sunday, they topped Cleveland for the second straight game to improve to 10-26. Remarkably, 36 games into the season, this is just the third Twins winning streak.

I could spend several days on what the reasons are behind the failures.
