However, there have been some very good seasons from past Twins pitchers. Last week ESPN tried to rank the top 20 pitcher seasons of the last 50 years. There were no Twins on the li...3090Wed, 24 Sep 2014 14:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/video-how-difficult-is-it-to-frame-a-100-miles-per-hour-pitch-r3088/It is possible that velocity plays a difference in how a catcher receives the ball or how an umpire gauges it. According to ESPN, since 2009, 9% of balls taken out of the zone that were 99 MPH or below were called strikes. In that same time, 7% of all pitches thrown 100 MPH or above and taken out...3088Tue, 23 Sep 2014 17:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-no-juice-podcast-episode-22-all-out-of-glens-r3087/Other topics include the Minnesota Vikings, things Minnesotans need to stop doing, the best compensated Minnesotan athletes and college football at the FargoDome.

As the season winds down, we'll also be able to focus more closely on when the Twins will draft in the 2015 draft. Congrats to Kennys Vargas and Jose Berrios who were named Minor League Hitter and Pitcher of the Year.

This year’s divisional alignment changes mean the Twins final home series is going to be an inter-league affair against the Diamondbacks, who I wasn’t sure the Twins have ever played before. Turns out they have – they swept...3085Mon, 22 Sep 2014 01:11:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-shut-down-glen-perkins-r3082/According to FSN's Tyler Mason, Twins Doctor John Steubs said that Perkins' ulnar collateral ligament "looks perfect." He also noted that the forearm strain will be managed with exercise and therapy. Earlier this week, Parker Hageman asked What was going on with Glen. Specifically, he wrote about...3082Fri, 19 Sep 2014 23:49:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/where-does-pelfrey-fit-in-r3081/It's easy to see why Pelfrey isn't popular among the Twins faithful. He was a mediocre pitcher in the National League before being signed. He hasn't pitched well here. He works slowly on the mound and his starts tend to drag on. More than that, the Twins' dealings with him have been emblematic of...3081Fri, 19 Sep 2014 14:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-can-the-twins-prevent-runs-r3079/To get back to the franchise's winning ways, the Twins are going to need to find answers to the question of how to allow fewer runs. And although a big part of that is improving on the team-wide ERA of 4.53, another big part is improving the Twins defense. The Twins have been rough at a few differ...3079Fri, 19 Sep 2014 14:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/peterson-saga-brings-back-memories-r3078/I was eight years old when Kirby Puckett was called up to the Twins. He pretty quickly became my new favorite baseball player. In all honesty, I’m thinking it was his name, at least at first. He was the speedy new centerfielder who was sure fun to watch. And within a couple seasons, he became one...3078Thu, 18 Sep 2014 04:42:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/five-twins-rebound-candidates-r3075/Those players are trying to right the ship over the next couple weeks before 2014 comes to a close. Ending this year on a good note could help each of the following players to rebound in 2015.

In 2013, he launched 18 homers, surpassing his career total in the minors, and this year...3076Wed, 17 Sep 2014 02:25:00 +0000
