They’re hinting at an all-you-can-eat taco special to gear us up for the trip ahead and a raffle for some free pizzas from Papa Johns.

Most of it involves pitchers, and most of those pitchers have been bad. But not Joe Mauer. Joe Mauer has been vintage Joe Mauer. Tune in for all the fun. Enjoy the show.

Yeah, that hit Target Field’s flag pole just like former Twins bruiser Jim Thome. It has been his ability to drive the ball with total disregard for human life that has made his plate appearances “must see” events, as far as “must see” events go this season, anyway...3001Fri, 22 Aug 2014 14:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/suddenly-shortstops33-r2994/Eduardo Escobar has been drawing the lion's share of time at short, and he has performed fairly well. His .273/.319/.393 hitting line is above-average for the position, and his 32 doubles tie him for the team lead. I have always been a believer that Escobar's upside healthily outweighed his past p...2994Wed, 20 Aug 2014 03:56:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/wake-me-up-when-september-ends-starting-rotation-r2988/There hasn't been much reason to watch the Twins during the last couple Septembers. The team was trotting out a starting rotation composed of a combination of non-prospects and aging veterans, which can be a lethal combination. Things might be shaping up to be a little better this September but th...2988Tue, 19 Aug 2014 20:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-hangouts-august-19-episode-38-r2992/Tonight's agenda: We've accepted the Talk to Contact #Twins15 challenge.

Corey Kluber to be more specific. Kluber is a little-known right-hander who is becoming an ace before our very eyes. Kluber is 13-6 this season for Cleveland with a 2.41 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP.
