Isn't enough that the White Sox are in the AL Central cellar, 8.5 games back of the the 4th place (and rival) Minnesota Twins, against whom they are 3-9 this season? Isn't it enough that they're on pace to lose 100+ games for just t...1942Sun, 11 Aug 2013 08:06:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/lets-talk-twins-giveaways-r1940/I care a lot about the Twins giveaways, I’m not even sure why. I think the stupid, pointless, but fun things are a part of what make the game of baseball so loveable. (See also: mascots, walkup music, and special handshakes. Not the wave, don’t be dumb.) While the Twins are pretty good about having...1940Sat, 10 Aug 2013 14:58:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/20-twins-trades-garza-and-bartlett-for-delmon-young-r1939/​It's hard to imagine a scenario where the Twins would trade a promising young starting pitcher for a young stud hitter. However, back in 2007, that very scenario played out. While the trade did not work out for the Twins, the idea may not have been completely off-base. Of course, if the jewel of...1939Sat, 10 Aug 2013 14:46:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-reinstate-willingham-send-doumit-to-dl-r1937/The Minnesota Twins announce today they have officially reinstated outfielder Josh Willingham and have placed catcher Ryan Doumit on the seven-day disabled list. Willingham, who was hitting a career low of .224/.356/.398 in 298 plate appearances when he opted to have his knee scoped on July 3, had b...1937Fri, 09 Aug 2013 15:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/this-day-in-twins-history-august-8-r1934/8/8/1974 - The Royals - Twins game at Royals Stadium is briefly interrupted by President Nixon's resignation speech. The speech is broadcast after it begins and the next inning is delayed until the conclusion of the speech. The Twins prevail over the host Royals‚ 3 - 2 in 14 innings when Tony Oliva'...1934Thu, 08 Aug 2013 23:47:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/slidin-to-the-sea-twins-versus-royals-recap-r1933/Crumb-Faced (Twins 0 Royals 13 – Game 109) I abandoned this game at 6-0, and all I missed was Jamey Carroll pitching a clean ninth inning. And a whole bunch of suffering. Checking the box score to see who stunk on the mound is like lining up elementary kids to see who has chocolate on their face aft...1933Thu, 08 Aug 2013 23:41:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/is-pedro-florimon-meeting-or-exceeding-expectations-r1932/On Tuesday, we took a look at Minnesota Twins second baseman Brian Dozier and noted that his performance is certainly trending in the right direction, and that continued on Wednesday night in Kansas City. Today, we’ll shift to the other side of the infield and try to determine whether Dozier’s keyst...1932Thu, 08 Aug 2013 06:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/this-pen-is-mighty-and-mighty-cheap-r1929/Late-inning leads have seemed so rare for the Twins that it's easy to overlook just how effectively the bullpen has been able to protect them. But make no mistake, Minnesota's relief unit has been among the finest in baseball this year. Only 44 times in their 110 games have the Twins carried a le...1929Wed, 07 Aug 2013 05:23:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/burton-rewarded-for-sticking-with-his-stuff-r1928/The ball explodes out of the pitcher’s hand. You immediately pick up the spin and conclude it is close enough to a fastball that he must be trying to go upstairs with a low-90s four-seamer. However, in the middle of your stride, you recall the hitting coach’s scouting report that says the pitcher h...1928Wed, 07 Aug 2013 04:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/mauer-and-the-monster-r1926/Hope for the 2013 season has faded, but Joe Mauer's dominance in the batter's box continues. Among many changes to the lineup, batting him second - not third - has been one move that Gardenhire has stuck to. But while it has led to an increase in plate appearances, the switch, among other factors, h...1926Wed, 07 Aug 2013 02:42:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/baseball-america-releases-2013-best-tools-list-r1925/Baseball America has released their MLB Best Tools 2013 report, providing the top three players at certain skill sets (i.e. Best Hitter, Best Power, Best Strike-Zone Judgment, etc) as determined by a poll of major league managers. Not surprising, the Minnesota Twins have little of representation thi...1925Tue, 06 Aug 2013 20:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/between-the-chalk-inside-kyle-gibsons-struggles-r1924/Seven starts into his major league career, things have not gone as planned for Twins rookie Kyle Gibson. Gibson entered this season as one of the organization’s most hyped pitching prospects in recent memory. That probably says more about the sad state of Twins starting pitching in recent years than...1924Tue, 06 Aug 2013 18:59:00 +0000
