One could hardly be blamed for holding such a belief; that expectation has been engrained throughout the history of a franchise that...2043Wed, 11 Sep 2013 02:01:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/september-tanking-and-the-twins-r2042/The calendar turned to September over a week ago and change can stay with a failing team into the final month of the year. On the Minnesota Twins, younger players continue to get more playing time over veterans like Ryan Doumit and Josh Willingham. It is the time of year for the Twins to see what th...2042Tue, 10 Sep 2013 17:08:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-late-summer-of-my-discontent-r2040/When Target Field opened, I was living in Connecticut (as I do now), but harbored a dream of moving back to Minnesota. I was naive. I thought -- even though I was an attorney licensed to practice in Connecticut only, even though I owned a home in Connecticut, and even though many of my professional...2040Tue, 10 Sep 2013 03:35:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/monday-morning-madness-september-9-2013-r2039/The Twins revived a fun tradition and got swept by the Blue Jays late in the season. It wasn't the traditional stomping we're used to, but the same basic idea. The Twins have also lost a shocking 10 games in a row at home. Where's the home field advantage, Target Field? Maybe it's time to remove tha...2039Mon, 09 Sep 2013 15:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/pros-and-cons-picking-the-twins-clubhouse-leader-r2038/With Justin Morneau's exit from the club in the last week, the Twins are searching for someone to take over his leadership role in the clubhouse. This seems to be a recurring theme for the Twins in recent years as the club shifts away from veteran leadership to a more youthful roster. A couple years...2038Mon, 09 Sep 2013 02:32:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-and-the-geek-ep-110-backyard-bash-and-mauers-concussion-r2036/Aaron and John take the podcast to Summit Brewing's "Backyard Bash" and talk about the status of Joe Mauer's concussion, position switching Hall of Fame credentials, Josmil Pinto's hot start for the Minnesota Twins, top prospects going to the Arizona Fall League, a new "official couple of the po...2036Mon, 09 Sep 2013 01:18:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-minor-league-report-97-rochester-lives-another-day-r2033/This much can be said. When the Rochester Red Wings have been in absolute need of a win, the bats have come through in big style. It has also helped to have Scott Diamond making those starts. That was again the case on Saturday night in Pawtucket. As you recall, on Labor Day, the final day of the re...2033Sun, 08 Sep 2013 01:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/revisiting-the-4-man-rotation-r2032/Parker Hageman posed his thoughts on how the Twins can improve their rotation through free agency. The players he suggested were either once-good pitchers who are now in decline or once-promising pitchers who have failed to keep their promises. If you are the Twins GM and those are the best pitching...2032Sat, 07 Sep 2013 18:50:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/shut-down-joe-mauer-now-r2029/It occurs to me that since I’ve been a little preoccupied with writing about the Cedar Rapids Kernels the past five months, I have written very little about the Minnesota Twins. Now that the Kernels’ season has come to a close, I’m going to try to remedy that situation and I’m going to begin by...2029Fri, 06 Sep 2013 23:46:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-can-improve-rotation-through-free-agency-r2028/On Thursday, Jeff Sullivan of Fangraphs.com tweeted out a very depressing but all too telling statistic about the Minnesota Twins’ rotation: The bullpen staff has 17 more strikeouts than the starting rotation. Sure, it is bleak but it is not as historically awful as it sounds: The current 12.3% stri...2028Fri, 06 Sep 2013 16:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/september-mailbag-r2027/Everywhere I go these days, it seems that people have questions for me. What's that stain on your shirt? Did you do that to your hair on purpose? Can you please move back a couple steps? I figured, with so many questions to answer, the only reasonable response is to breakout the old mailbag and...2027Fri, 06 Sep 2013 12:41:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/2013-rock-cats-mvp-josmil-pinto-r2020/I'll be the first to admit that the bulk of my Rock Cats coverage this season has centered around Miguel Sano. And it's for a reason -- he's the best prospect that has played for New Britain since I have been following the team. People were interested in watching grainy videos of his #PowerBanana sh...2020Fri, 06 Sep 2013 05:41:00 +0000
