Such is the fickle nature of the baseball gods. Memorial Day has always been a special day for baseball in Minnesota, even before the Twins arrived. When the Minneapolis Millers and St. Paul Saints were the dueling minor league clubs in town,...2659Mon, 26 May 2014 00:51:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-big-switch-jared-burton-r2658/Sponsored by Switch My Trip Sometimes it's an overlooked performance that is a game's BigSwitch. Last Tuesday night's back-and-forth win over the Padres contained splashier performances, but believe it or not, the player with the biggest impact wasTwins reliever Jared Burton. That's why he's this...2658Sun, 25 May 2014 15:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-draft-preview-tyler-beede-r2650/A top five pick in the MLB draft is a blessing and a burden. Getting it right can mean the addition of a franchise-altering talent. Getting it wrong can be very, very costly. Will the Twins stake their future on a pitcher as erratic yet electric as Tyler Beede? Who is this guy? Beede has been one...2650Fri, 23 May 2014 14:38:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-maturation-of-trevor-plouffe-r2653/As spring training began in Twins Territory, there were questions about who should be starting at third base when the team headed north. Trevor Plouffe was coming off an underwhelming season where he dealt with some injuries and he struggled defensively at third base. Miguel Sano was ranked as one o...2653Fri, 23 May 2014 13:53:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/fantastic-fien-r2651/When a team is mired in a rut of three losing seasons, it’s easy to overlook players who are achieving beyond expectations – especially when those players are relief pitchers. After all, who cares if you have a lights out righthander when the team is constantly down 6-0 by the third inning? For that...2651Fri, 23 May 2014 00:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/are-we-giving-aaron-hicks-a-raw-deal-r2647/I’m not in love with Aaron Hicks. I can’t disagree with Rob Antony and Ron Gardenhire’s critique of his preparation, and I’ve always been an unabashed Denard Span guy. (Note: I'm hugely excited that he ended up in DC, where I live now). But I do think we (the Twins-loving public) have been giving Hi...2647Thu, 22 May 2014 12:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-draft-preview-aaron-nola-r2708/The six-foot-two Aaron Nola might not fire the fastest bullets among this year’s draft class but the right-handed junior out of LSU might be the most major league ready arm. But is a pitcher the organization's highest priority? Who is this guy? Nola, a graduate of Catholic High School in Baton Roug...2708Thu, 22 May 2014 04:11:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-to-do-with-kurt-suzuki-r2639/Kurt Suzuki is out producing the expectations of even the most optimistic Twins fan. He’s 30 years old and coming in to 2014 had a career line of .253/.309/.375, and even that is rosy considering what he’s done the past two seasons, .234/.282/.332 (for reference, Talk to Contact favorite, Drew “Boa...2639Wed, 21 May 2014 03:37:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/hangout-and-talk-twins-episode-25-r2643/Listen in on last night's Twins Hangouts podcast.

Through his first six starts in Rochester, he is 1-1 with a 2.32 ERA, he has 33 strikeouts in 31 innings, including eight strikeouts in his last start on Sunday.

The Twins looked good this weekend and winning two of every three is a great way to win over 90 games. Not saying that will happen, but...it will probably happen.
