Monday is the home opener. You know where you need to be. The Long Winter We’ll start with the obvious – beca...2478Mon, 07 Apr 2014 00:26:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/replay-todays-live-twins-chat-r2475/Here in the Twin Cities, there's about a foot of fresh snow on the ground. Fortunately, the Twins won't be trying to open their season here for a few more days. However, it's also a rainy day in Cleveland, calling into question whether the Twins and Indians will get in their first matchup of the sea...2475Fri, 04 Apr 2014 15:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/heated-observations-game-3-r2474/How Phil Hughes Worked Of all starting pitchers who threw more than 100 innings last year, Phil Hughes led the group with a first-pitch strike rate of 71% -- one of only two pitchers who cracked the 70% mark (Arizona’s Patrick Corbin being the other). Naturally, Hughes continued that first-pitch...2474Fri, 04 Apr 2014 13:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/mlbs-territorial-tv-rights-challenged-r2472/Sponsored by Snyder Gislason Frasier LLC Baseball, bourbon, great legal minds and the end of TV blackout rules as we know them. If that sounds like a pretty good night, well, you missed it. I however, did not. So, let's recap.... The partners of Snyder Gislason Frasier (a.k.a.

One of those games was against Chris-Freaking-Sale who was so dominant against left-handed opponents that he...2470Thu, 03 Apr 2014 13:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/upward-trends-for-the-twins-r2467/We know about the negative trends: three straight years of losing, a spring marked by consistently low offensive output and several veterans whose numbers have been on the decline. 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. We shot some amazing photos, video, and were able to directly interact with both the front office and MLB/MiLB...2458Mon, 31 Mar 2014 13:21:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/why-watch-the-twins-in-2014-r2457/On Saturday night I ventured a guess as to when the optimism (or the better word may have been ‘excitement’) disappeared. 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. Yes,...2457Mon, 31 Mar 2014 05:27:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/season-preview-future-shock-r2456/For three straight years, the refrain for hopeful Twins fans has been the same: Keep waiting, help is on the way. 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 +0000
