If he doesn't pitch again this season, he will have set the record for best strikeout to walk rate in the history of the game. There were only two games this season where Hughes allowed multiple walk...3096Fri, 26 Sep 2014 02:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/think-you-can-hit-a-100-mile-per-hour-fastball-r3095/According to ESPN/TruMedia, in the Major Leagues this year there have 821 fastballs thrown over 100 miles an hour -- with Cincinnati’s closer Aroldis Chapman firing the bulk of them. The results have been understandably poor as hitters have batted just .144 off the triple digit heat.

Jim Souhan believes manager Ron Gardenhire has to go. Patrick Reuss...3094Thu, 25 Sep 2014 00:04:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/hughes-ends-season-with-record-without-bonus-r3093/Phil Hughes was cruising on Wednesday afternoon in the final Target Field game of the season. He had given up just one run to the Arizona Diamondbacks on five hits. He walked none and struck out five. He was at 96 pitches after eight innings of work. With a 2-1 lead, it appeared he would reach the...3093Wed, 24 Sep 2014 21:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-have-a-problem-r3091/This season ticket group was a bunch of hardcore Twins fans, especially the actual seat-holders. But even they could no longer justify the cost, especially at a time where all games after July consistently carry no level of drama or intrigue. It's a drain. The new ballpark honeymoon period has pas...3091Wed, 24 Sep 2014 14:30:53 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-top-10-pitching-seasons-r3090/There hasn't been a player of Kershaw's caliber in the Twins rotation since the Johan Santana days in the Metrodome. However, there have been some very good seasons from past Twins pitchers. Last week ESPN tried to rank the top 20 pitcher seasons of the last 50 years. There were no Twins on the li...3090Wed, 24 Sep 2014 14:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/video-how-difficult-is-it-to-frame-a-100-miles-per-hour-pitch-r3088/It is possible that velocity plays a difference in how a catcher receives the ball or how an umpire gauges it. According to ESPN, since 2009, 9% of balls taken out of the zone that were 99 MPH or below were called strikes. In that same time, 7% of all pitches thrown 100 MPH or above and taken out...3088Tue, 23 Sep 2014 17:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-no-juice-podcast-episode-22-all-out-of-glens-r3087/Other topics include the Minnesota Vikings, things Minnesotans need to stop doing, the best compensated Minnesotan athletes and college football at the FargoDome.

As the season winds down, we'll also be able to focus more closely on when the Twins will draft in the 2015 draft.

This year’s divisional alignment changes mean the Twins final home series is going to be an inter-league affair against the Diamondbacks, who I wasn’t sure the Twins have ever played before. Turns out they have – they swept...3085Mon, 22 Sep 2014 01:11:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-shut-down-glen-perkins-r3082/According to FSN's Tyler Mason, Twins Doctor John Steubs said that Perkins' ulnar collateral ligament "looks perfect." He also noted that the forearm strain will be managed with exercise and therapy. Earlier this week, Parker Hageman asked What was going on with Glen. Specifically, he wrote about...3082Fri, 19 Sep 2014 23:49:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/where-does-pelfrey-fit-in-r3081/It's easy to see why Pelfrey isn't popular among the Twins faithful. He was a mediocre pitcher in the National League before being signed. He hasn't pitched well here. He works slowly on the mound and his starts tend to drag on. More than that, the Twins' dealings with him have been emblematic of...3081Fri, 19 Sep 2014 14:50:00 +0000
