With Minnesota on their way to a third straight 90-loss season, there are questions about whether Ron Gardenhire deserves another opportunity at the helm. He won the 2010 AL Manager-of-th...2069Mon, 23 Sep 2013 13:11:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/monday-morning-madness-september-23-2013-r2068/Twins/A's Recap The word "bludgeoned" gets thrown around so often... The Gardy 1000 Is this going to happen? Going into this week, the Twins needed to go 4-10 to finish the season "strong" and give Ron Gardenhire 1000 career wins. As bad as the Twins have been, that seemed reasonable. Star wipe...2068Mon, 23 Sep 2013 10:52:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/episode-112-new-bohemia-40-men-and-police-stories-r2067/Aaron and John take the podcast to the New Bohemia Octoberfest and talk about last week's Grand Drunk Railroad experience, Glen Perkins buying beers from the bullpen, who the Twins should purge from the 40-man roster, Joe Mauer's ongoing absence, Aaron Hicks not getting a September call-up, why...2067Mon, 23 Sep 2013 00:46:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/8-reasons-to-not-worry-about-aaron-hicks-and-kyle-gibson-r2066/In case you missed it, a couple of prominent Twins rookies had difficult seasons. Well, difficult might be a massive understatement. Well, massive might be a huge overstatement. I'll calibrate my adjectives later, but we all know that Aaron Hicks and Kyle Gibson performed below expectations. Exp...2066Sun, 22 Sep 2013 01:57:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/have-the-twins-been-screwed-by-umpires-r2062/Robot umpires now? You wouldn’t blame Kyle Gibson for wanting them. A recent Wall Street Journal article took an in-depth look at Major League Baseball’s strike zone and found that some teams have benefited from an expanded zone while others suffered from shrinkage. Brian Costa consulted with the l...2062Wed, 18 Sep 2013 16:32:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/two-separate-sophomore-seasons-r2061/When the Twins left spring training, there were multiple Twins players in line to get playing time during their sophomore seasons. The second year can be a huge year for players trying to make their mark at the big league level. There can be positive signs during a rookie season but continuing those...2061Wed, 18 Sep 2013 15:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/liam-hendriks-has-run-out-of-chances-r2060/Liam Hendriks is still only 24 years old. He owns a career 2.99 ERA in the minor leagues. He was dominant against Triple-A hitters as recently as last year. In so many respects, it seems far too soon to consider giving up on the Australian righty. Yet, after watching his downright miserable performa...2060Wed, 18 Sep 2013 14:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/2013-twins-postmortem-what-went-wrong-r2059/Yes, I am aware that there are a couple weeks left in the season. But the Twins are dead. Dead as a door-nail. And they've been that way for months (years?). Shortly after this season comes to its pitiful end, the Twins' brass and field personnel will assemble, as they do every year, in Ft. Myers, f...2059Wed, 18 Sep 2013 11:47:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-season-is-breaking-bad-r2057/I recently got my newest issue of Entertainment Weekly. It was the Fall TV preview issue. As I was flipping through the pages to see what shows spark my interest, some of them made me start thinking about the Twins season, and how the Twins have played in September. Yes, I acknowledge that that make...2057Tue, 17 Sep 2013 14:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/looking-forward-at-twins-catching-r2056/The Twins continue to play out the rest of the 2013 season without their $23 million man, Joe Mauer. There is plenty of concern surrounding Mauer's concussion-related injury. As Twins fans are well aware from incidents with Denard Span and Justin Morneau, head injuries can be tough to resolve.
