Myers @ Daytona - Postponed The day off may have been just what the two teams need as they have not had a day off since the playoffs began. However, for the Miracle, this delay could prove very beneficial. Had Game 4 been played on Sunday, the Miracle likely would have...3052Mon, 08 Sep 2014 01:57:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/vikings-journal-wants-to-buy-you-a-beer-this-monday-night-r3044/The first 80 people who can tell us their registered name at Vikings Journal or Twins Daily will get a ticket for a free Summit for themselves and their friends.

This amounts to 18 players, four of whom are not with the Twins in any capacity and one of whom is currently in the minor leagues. I looked at wOBA, wRC+, and WAR, since I think those three stats do...3050Sun, 07 Sep 2014 01:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-trying-to-make-oswaldo-arcia-a-complete-hitter-r3045/Early in the season, Fox Sports North’s Roy Smalley pointed out that the Twins were attempting to get Arcia to adjust his hands during the swing to avoid being eaten up by fastballs up in the zone. That is still a project as Arcia has gone 3-for-45 on fastballs in the upper third or higher this y...3045Fri, 05 Sep 2014 06:07:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/that39s-the-ticket-the-best-of-the-best-r3042/Vegas set the over/under on season wins for Los Angeles at 86.5, which the Angels could break before they leave Target Field. I stupidly thought that was crazy high. After all, this was a team that imploded last year with only 78 wins after winning 89 games the year before. Their starting pitching...3042Thu, 04 Sep 2014 21:58:38 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/baseball-and-business-the-twins-and-timing-r3043/The team was bad and fielding rather pathetic lineups. The idea that fans would pay extra to watch players like Wilkin Ramirez or Pedro Florimon take BP -- players that would be in AAA on a good team -- suggested to me that the organization was out of touch with a large portion of its fan base. Ye...3043Fri, 05 Sep 2014 01:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-minor-league-report-93-miracle-advance-r3040/So let’s get into the updates. MIRACLE MATTERS Game 2 - Ft. Myers 6, Bradenton 2 Box Score They play nine innings, but sometimes just one of those innings can make the difference. That was the case in this game. The Miracle scored six runs on five hits in the bottom of the 3rd inning to take a 6-...3040Thu, 04 Sep 2014 05:13:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-minor-league-starting-pitcher-of-august-2014-r3038/Honorable Mention RHP – Tyler Duffey – Rochester – 4 GS, 2-1, 3.86 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 23.1 IP, 20 H, 7 BB, 21 K LHP – Matt Tomshaw – Ft.

The first column is the year. The second is how close the Twins were to the top of the AL Central when September started.
