Samuel Deduno is off and running in 2013. He leads Twins starters in ERA and FIP, as well as opponent batting average, WHIP, and ground-ball percentage. But he&#x2019;s well known for his unpredictable pitches, and without a full major-league season at age 30...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">1881</guid><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jul 2013 16:52:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Reviewing the Span and Revere Trades</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/reviewing-the-span-and-revere-trades-r1880/</link><description>The non-waiver trade deadline is closing in quickly and it is still tough to know what the Twins will do in the coming hours.

So, are the Twins not terrible or is this just another mirage?  I've got to say, I've been going back and forth between "this team sucks" and "this team doesn't really suck" far too many times.  I'm growing tired of it.  It would be nice to just know,...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">1879</guid><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jul 2013 11:38:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Green Shoots from Broken Bat Rubble (Twins at Mariners - Games 98-101)</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/green-shoots-from-broken-bat-rubble-twins-at-mariners-games-98-101-r1878/</link><description>Daydream Disbeliever (Twins 2 Mariners 8 &#x2013; Game 98)
The Twins got knocked out early in this game, but everybody played nine innings anyway.
During my little league tour of duty, I spent most of the games at whichever part of the outfield they felt saved me from embarrassing attempts at fielding fly...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">1878</guid><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jul 2013 03:21:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Message From The King: The Best Seats To Say Goodbye</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/message-from-the-king-the-best-seats-to-say-goodbye-r1877/</link><description>Sponsored by

There is a lot worth remembering about baseball games. We remember games and catches and our kids&#x2019; face as a stadium shook and their faith was rewarded. And we remember players, whose time in the sunshine can be far too short for our taste.

Remember the start of the season when all the "experts" were forecasting a fall from grace for the Yankees? [sigh] Those were the days to be a Yankee hater.
