Myers. However, at the end of the day, er.. game, there was no winner. The game ended after nine innings with a 1-1 tie in front of a Hammond S...2392Sun, 09 Mar 2014 20:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/payroll-and-roster-notes-r2394/The Twins made their first round of cuts this morning. I figured this was as good of time as any to highlight some things that are important (to nerds like me) as the regular season opens and progresses. The Roster and Payroll page has been updated to include a lot of new information.

Myers at about 5:00 p.m. local time on Friday night. Pick up the car. Find the lodging. Find something to eat. Crash. On Saturday morning, I actually was able to wake up after hitting snooze just twice. I was pretty proud of myself.

As I sit in the Minneapolis airport, with just over an hour remaining before boarding, I thought version 2.0 would be good. I am excited to spend the next eight days in Ft. Myers and I definitely welcome and encourage people to send me q...2388Fri, 07 Mar 2014 14:08:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/inside-outside-and-truth-r2387/Bloggers and sabrmetricians are sometimes portrayed as treating players as tumbling dice. It's rhetoric meant to discredit and vilify, but it's not totally without merit. I know this because I think I'm about to treat Kyle Gibson and Chris Colabello as tumbling dice.

Year in and year out, there has been an inability to choose a secondary pitch.
