Jared Burton started...2791Mon, 23 Jun 2014 00:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-pitchin-has-been-bitc-good-r2782/With Joe Mauer having a big series and an outstanding pitching performance on the mound from a guy named Johan, er, Yohan Thursday night, I’m sure more than a few Twins fans (myself included) were imitating Robin Williams’ character in Jumanji, yelling “What year is it!?”, much to the chagrin to tho...2782Sat, 21 Jun 2014 16:58:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-talent-in-the-dominican-r2769/The second in a series chronicling the Twins Dominican Baseball Academy.

Between the newly signed free agents and the rising prospects with a chance to debut, there were going to be plenty of storylines to follow here in 2014. The most important, though, was always going to be Kyle Gibs...2764Fri, 20 Jun 2014 03:33:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/tobacco-and-baseball-r2768/Did anyone else read Jim Caple’s recent article on ESPN.com about Tony Gwynn and chewing tobacco? In the article he advocates for the ban of on-field use of chew in MLB, noting that it is already banned in MiLB. The topic at hand certainly evokes strong opinions; somewhere along the lines of indivi...2768Thu, 19 Jun 2014 20:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/thats-the-ticket-opportunity-for-recovery-r2763/Sponsored by Ticket King Traditionally, a White Sox visit to Minnesota would be just what the doctor ordered for a struggling Twins team.

That may be a bit extreme but it has been so long since the Minnesota Twins have been able to pencil a strong candidate into the rotation that you forget what a good pitcher smells like. (Answer: Good pitche...2758Wed, 18 Jun 2014 13:39:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-is-sustainable-for-danny-santana-r2761/My first exposure to Danny Santana was a spring game in March against the Red Sox. While I certainly remember his flashy play (1-3 with a 2B, a walk and a SB), it was a costly 5th inning fielding error, leading to a 2-run Red Sox rally that gave the defending champs the game, that stuck with me as a...2761Wed, 18 Jun 2014 12:49:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-hangouts-tuesday-june-17-r2759/Oh, it's going to be a good one on Tuesday night!
