Those trends are no fun to think about, especially here in a young season that remains full of possibilities despit...2467Wed, 02 Apr 2014 03:03:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/rochester-red-wings-season-preview-r2465/Calling the 2013 Rochester Red Wings season a roller coaster ride would be a dramatic understatement. Rochester started off the year at 2-11, went on to finish the season 77-67, clinched a wild card berth and made their first playoff appearance in seven years. This year's team is completely differe...2465Wed, 02 Apr 2014 00:26:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/hangout-and-talk-twins-41-r2464/Well, Opening Day didn't produce a win, but at least we know that for the next six months, we will have Minnesota Twins games to watch five to seven days a week. You also now that each Tuesday night, you can join Seth and I at 9:00 p.m. CST to talk about the Twins, their minor league affiliates and...2464Tue, 01 Apr 2014 16:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/get-the-latest-twins-news-by-following-twins-daily-r2458/In 2014, Twins Daily is making a concentrated effort to reach out to the fanbase in new and exciting ways. In March, we sent writers to Ft Myers to cover the Twins' Spring Training action.

As we anticipate this afternoon’s Twins opener in Chicago, I thought it only fair to take a look at several reasons for people to continue watch and enjoying Twins baseball.

That can be difficult to accept, especially when few signs of progress are evident on the field. The Twins lost 99 games in 2011, and they've lost 96 in each season since. It wouldn't be...2456Mon, 31 Mar 2014 04:26:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-looking-for-leadership-out-of-suzuki-r2455/This offseason the Minnesota Twins found themselves with the difficult task of attempting to replace something irreplaceable. When Joe Mauer made his decision that he would no longer be putting on the tools of ignorance, the front office and manager reviewed their options. Internally, they were hi...2455Mon, 31 Mar 2014 01:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-happened-to-the-optimism-r2454/First things first... Happy 2014 Minnesota Twins Opening Day to the Twins Daily community! As the 2013 season came to yet-another frustrating end, many Twins fans found baseball difficult to watch. Many Septembers, prospects are called up and fans can catch a glimpse of the future.

Alex Presley began spring training as a competitor for the Twins centerfield job. He leaves spring training a member of the Astros after Houston c...2451Sun, 30 Mar 2014 12:27:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/big-question-remains-will-twins-lineup-score-runs-r2452/Based on what has been seen this spring, if Minnesota Twins manager Ron Gardenhire still had hair on top of his head he would likely have scratched himself bald trying to figure out how to score runs with his lineup. For an entire week leading up to the season, it has felt like a broken record (or...2452Sat, 29 Mar 2014 22:06:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/consistency-earned-kyle-gibson-the-fifth-starter-job-r2450/When it was announced Minnesota Twins pitcher Scott Diamond went unclaimed through waivers and would not be named the fifth starter, the left-hander doffed his cap to his competition in Kyle Gibson. The decision was a tough one, with the left-hander being out of options, but Gibson’s strong spring...2450Fri, 28 Mar 2014 20:56:00 +0000
