Life is busy: with work and family and social engagements, there are a lot of demands on your time. So, if you've missed some developments in the first month of the season, you're perfectly normal. Missing baseball games is not unlike missing reading assignments for school, so we'...2577Mon, 05 May 2014 02:39:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/riffing-on-the-rotation-r2574/As April has shifted into May, the Minnesota offense has cooled off a bit but continues to get the job done. On Friday they were shut out for just the second time all year, but they bounced back to score 11 runs in a pair of wins on Saturday and Sunday. The series victory over the weekend brought th...2574Mon, 05 May 2014 02:38:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-big-switch-the-sun-r2600/Sponsored by Switch My Trip May arrived three days late, but Saturday The Sun found clouds it could occasionally hurdle.

Pelfrey was placed on the disabled list with a left groin strain. Sam Deduno will take Pelfrey's spot in the rotation as he has continued to pitch well out of the...2573Sun, 04 May 2014 16:14:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/some-samples-no-longer-small-pitchers-r2572/Sample sizes for a few ratios are becoming large enough to consider as reliable. For pitchers, strikeout rate stabilizes at 70 batters faced (BF) and ground ball and fly ball rates stabilize at 70 balls in play. By stabilizing, that doesn’t necessarily mean it is the new expected rate. It does mean...2572Sun, 04 May 2014 01:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/logan-darnell-to-join-twins-on-friday-r2567/From a source with direct knowledge, Twins Daily has learned that LHP Logan Darnell is on his way to the Twins Cities and will be with the Twins on Friday night.

The bad weather has (mostly) passed. It’s going to be 60 degrees, one of the best young players in baseball will be visiting and Mike Pelfrey will not be pitching. That sounds like a pretty fair weekend to grab some great seats at Target...2566Fri, 02 May 2014 03:57:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/looking-ahead-to-find-a-shortstop-r2561/Although offense has hardly been a problem for the Twins here in the early going, finding a viable solution at shortstop remains a top-ranking priority for the long-term success of the club. It's one of the most important positions on the field and it's been a frustrating problem area for this fran...2561Wed, 30 Apr 2014 14:54:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-greatest-gift-r2559/I laced up my spikes for another opening day, my 4th as a pro. Over all the years of playing, there have been a number of memorable moments. They can be best described by the feelings that accompanied them. The feeling of over 10000 fans shaking the ground beneath me at an NCAA regional final, the f...2559Wed, 30 Apr 2014 01:39:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-hangouts-tuesday-april-29-r2557/Seth and Jeremy will be live at 9pm on Tuesday.

With Minnesota in the middle of a week-long rainstorm, the Dodgers might be back quite a bit sooner. There is no point...2558Tue, 29 Apr 2014 03:28:00 +0000
