You say the Twins are languishing with a 1-6 record? Who cares? I’m talking about their full-season minor league affiliates! That’s where the action (and literally ALL of the fun) is! The AAA Rochester Red Wings are 3-1. The newest Twins affiliate, the AA-level Chattanooga Lookouts (w...3555Fri, 17 Apr 2015 04:31:31 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/that39s-the-ticket-battle-for-fourth-place-r3562/For instance, if the baseball gods were smiling on us, we would get to see our ace, Phil Hughes, face the Indians ace (and 2015 Cy Young winner) Corey Kluber. But Kluber pitches Friday versus Mike Pelfrey and Hughes doesn't pitch until Saturday. The day after each of them take the mound, both team...3562Fri, 17 Apr 2015 02:52:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/on-risk-community-and-the-cup-r3559/The forums, duh.

Third baseman Trevor Plouffe discovered that trying to perform consistently at the major league level was a daunting task as an inexperienced hitter.

In a sense, it's unfair to cast judgment on Blaine Boye...3557Wed, 15 Apr 2015 13:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/no-juice-podcast-51-reviewing-the-first-week-r3553/They also answer your Twitter questions, get envious of the Minnesota Wild and other things.

It shows that maybe they haven’t completely lost their fans after four (plus one week) really crummy seasons. But it is a less good sign for the people at the top of that organization who might be facing a crisis in confidence that I never thought I’d see.

Before the start of the game, Trevor Plouffe was asked if the team was looking for respite from the steady barrage of elite pitchers like David Price, Anibal Sanchez...3549Tue, 14 Apr 2015 04:02:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/game-thread-royalstwins-413-310pm-r3547/Things to Think About: 1. Home Openers -- Home Openers are always exciting... Even if the team arrives at the ball park with a record of 1-5 after 6 games on the road. It's a sell out because Home Openers are special and obviously not because the team has been special thus far.
