It was a David and Goliath matchup, and in this case, Goliath dominated. Darnell’s first inning was terrific. Three ground ball outs and eight pitches. Then things went downhill...2903Sun, 27 Jul 2014 03:52:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/video-minnesota-baseball-history-r2901/There is a lot of talk about baseball in the 1800s, the Millers and Saints, and the early days of the Twins. If you're looking for a one-hour overview of the history of baseball in Minnesota, you could do worse than to check out the video at http://m.mlb.com/video/v34740753/sabr-panel-discusses-hi...2901Sat, 26 Jul 2014 14:29:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/lewis-thorpe-improving-r2896/Over the past year, Lewis Thorpe has exploded on the scene. An unknown commodity heading into the GCL last season, he was so dominant as a 17 year old that he has appeared on various preseason Twins’ top 10 prospect lists. He has made even more news this year, skipping the Appalachian League and goi...2896Thu, 24 Jul 2014 19:38:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-trade-kendrys-morales-for-seattle-reliever-stephen-pryor-r2895/Kendrys Morales was signed on June 7th by the Twins to help with their playoff push, but both he and the team struggled soon after. Overall, he’s hit just .234 with a .584 OPS for the Twins, and has seen only a slight uptick from that production in recent weeks. By trading him to the Mariners now,...2895Thu, 24 Jul 2014 19:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/trade-candidate-josh-willingham-r2894/In 2012, Willingham made Ryan look wise. "Hammer" put up career highs in most statistical categories. He hit .260/.366/.524 (.890) with 30 doubles, 35 home runs and 110 RBI. He won his first Silver Slugger Award. Unfortunately, his age started to show in 2013. He played in 111 games and hit just ....2894Thu, 24 Jul 2014 17:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-twins-are-stuck-in-their-comfort-zone-r2893/Unfortunately, it appears that each of the signings came with an implicit assurance that the player would receive a chance in the big leagues, regardless of what they did to earn it. I can't think of any other way to explain the way things played out. Bartlett won a spot on the 25-man roster out o...2893Thu, 24 Jul 2014 04:27:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-ticket-white-sox-cuban/Despite the fact that the two teams have come on hard times in recent years, the White Sox/Twins games are always played with a little extra intensity. Right now, the Twins are in fifth place in the AL Central, just behind the White Sox. In 2013, the Twins finished in fourth place, just ahead of...2891Thu, 24 Jul 2014 02:14:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-no-juice-podcast-episode-14-trade-deadline-r2890/Other topics include Twins prospect Nick Gordon’s introduction to professional baseball, previewing the Twins Daily Touch ‘Em All Pub Crawl, trolling Darren Rovell on Twitter, anger over the late night fireworks and bottomless appetizers.

It wasn't the price -- $10 million over two years is a fair rate for a No. 5 starter. It was the fact that, after a 99-loss season in which the rotation was terrible, their biggest offseason si...2888Wed, 23 Jul 2014 05:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-hangouts-july-22-episode-34-r2886/Seth and Jeremy were back for another edition of Twins Hangouts.

This season, as the team slowly but surely heads to a fourth straight 90-loss campaign, names like Kurt Suzuki, Kendrys Morales, Josh Willingham, Kevin Correia and...2881Tue, 22 Jul 2014 03:48:00 +0000
