Pardon the arbitrary endpoin...1432Wed, 01 May 2013 06:19:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/time-to-put-pelf-on-the-shelf-r1430/In a season where he's largely stayed in the good graces of the fan base, Ron Gardenhire finally awakened the critics on Monday night. With the Twins leading Detroit 3-1 and angling for a big win to kick off their treacherous road trip, Gardenhire sent Mike Pelfrey out to pitch the sixth inning des...1430Wed, 01 May 2013 02:52:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-3-tigers-4-the-value-of-each-play-r1428/On Monday night, the Minnesota Twins began a three game series in Detroit against the Tigers. It was Mike Pelfrey facing Max Scherzer. You likely watched the game or saw the box score already when you read this, so you know that the Twins fell by the final score of 4-3. It was interesting to watch t...1428Tue, 30 Apr 2013 07:27:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-rangers-recap-4282013-r1425/The Twins split their four-game series with Texas this weekend. Unfortunately, I missed the Sunday game due to something called a "Couples Shower." I was not aware of such a thing, but have since decided that these should be outlawed completely. I won a game of Bingo where all the numbers were re...1425Mon, 29 Apr 2013 19:34:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/series-preview-twins-tigers-429-r1424/The Twins should feel pretty good about themselves right now. Expected to finish last in the division by pretty much everyone, the team is poised to enter May with a winning record for the first time since 2010. After narrowly losing a pair of one-run games to the Rangers late last week, the Twins r...1424Mon, 29 Apr 2013 11:53:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/strong-start-bodes-well-for-twins-r1423/T.S. Eliot once famously wrote that April is the cruelest month, and for the Twins that adage has held true over the past two years. Between 2011 and 2012, the team went 15-33 during the season's first month while watching devastating injuries pile up – from Tsuyoshi Nishioka's broken leg and Joe Ma...1423Mon, 29 Apr 2013 04:40:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-and-the-geek-ep-91-radio-return-and-its-april-r1422/Aaron and John's Minnesota Twin podcast moves to KFAN 100.3 FM, but that's not the only change. The Twins relatively positive start also fuels their most optimistic episode, where they talk about Kevin Correia's fantastic start, the bullpen's impact and depth and the struggles some of the younger pl...1422Mon, 29 Apr 2013 04:19:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota-twins-milestone-check-r1418/The Minesota Twins have hit the four-week milestone and are above .500 at 11-10. Considering the pessimism going into the season, Twins Territory should be happy with the results. Some raw numbers: Run differential is -1. Team ERA is 3.92, the Twins have scored 88 runs despite only 14 homers and...1418Sun, 28 Apr 2013 11:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/weekly-links-n-thinks-r1413/The Minnesota Twins actually got all their games in so far this week. Texas is in town for the weekend and it sounds like the weather is actually going to start acting like spring. Daily high temperatures will continue to rise and we all hope the Twins can continue to play .500 baseball. The weekend...1413Sat, 27 Apr 2013 10:36:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/putting-aaron-hicks-in-perspective-r1412/Aaron Hicks is a batting average eating goblin. This would be a common refrain among Twins fans if “batting average eating goblin” was common baseball lingo. We should probably work on making that happen. More importantly, we should put Hicks’s numbers into a little perspective. His astronomically,...1412Fri, 26 Apr 2013 11:41:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/series-preview-twins-vs-rangers-425-r1409/One might say this is the first real test of the Twins pitching staff. The Texas Rangers, co-owners of the American League's best record at 14-7, are coming to town and the weather is finally going to warm up in the Twin Cities. Until this point, the Twins have played nearly every game of the season...1409Thu, 25 Apr 2013 11:41:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/there-is-a-lot-wrong-with-mike-pelfrey-right-now-r1407/Just a month removed from being celebrated for his amazingly quick recovery from Tommy John surgery less than 11 months ago, Mike Pelfrey’s numbers through his first four starts in a Twins uniform have been extremely disappointing. This raises the question of whether or not Pelfrey is completely re...1407Thu, 25 Apr 2013 05:21:00 +0000
