Matt Summers took his Florida State League leading ERA to the mound for the Miracle. The Kernels were set to face off against former Twins pitcher Scott Baker as he works his way back from injury. New Britain found themselves...2003Thu, 29 Aug 2013 13:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/time-for-hicks-to-make-a-switch-r2001/Since returning to the minor leagues after his demotion in early August, Aaron Hicks has batted .417. Well, from the right side anyway. Unfortunately, he's only had 12 at-bats from that side because in Triple-A, like in the majors, the vast majority of pitchers are right-handers. And righties force...2001Wed, 28 Aug 2013 14:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/mauer-showing-progress-but-not-ready-for-play-r1998/The effects of taking several foul tips off his face mask are still lingering for Joe Mauer, Minnesota Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said before Tuesday’s game against the Royals. “He came in today and says he’s feeling pretty decent,” Gardenhire said but later added that Mauer will not be ready to r...1998Wed, 28 Aug 2013 01:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/looking-for-clues-in-september-r1995/This season was supposed to answer some questions about the makeup of the next winning Minnesota Twins team. It has largely failed to do so. But there is still some time and some September callups which might provide some clues as to the proper moves to make this offseason. The Starting Rotation (...1995Tue, 27 Aug 2013 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/monday-morning-madness-august-26-2013-r1994/Since I am filled with useless snark, I stated back on August 12 that if the Twins could win 30-35 of their next 17 games, they could get back in the Central race. See, the joke is... Anyway, with three games remaining in that 17 game stretch, the Twins will win no more than seven games. Whatever...1994Mon, 26 Aug 2013 14:36:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/whats-the-plan-byron-buxton-r1993/As last year's No. 2 overall pick and the current consensus top prospect in baseball, Byron Buxton has drawn some lofty comparisons. You often hear his name mentioned alongside similarly well-rounded outfielders who dominated the minors and made a quick impact in the majors, such as Mike Trout and t...1993Mon, 26 Aug 2013 03:07:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-minor-league-report-825-sano-homers-twice-r1992/On Sunday, all of the six Twins minor league went at least five innings and none gave up more than two runs. The Miracle have turned around their slide. They had won just four of their last 18 games, but now they have won four in a row. Another day, another Cedar Rapids win. They have won 82 games t...1992Mon, 26 Aug 2013 01:27:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-and-the-geek-episode-108-brain-injuries-and-september-callups-r1991/Aaron and John talk about Joe Mauer's concussion and potential position switch, September call-up possibilities, dating at the State Fair, where Aaron Hicks begins next season, runners in scoring position problems, staying up all night, the plan for Kyle Gibson, mailbag questions from listeners,...1991Mon, 26 Aug 2013 01:22:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/where-have-all-the-twins-bromances-gone-r1989/There’s often discussion about clubhouse chemistry and the effect on a team’s performance, but let’s take that one step further and talk about bromances. Although, realistically, the presence of a close male pair has nothing to do with a team’s win/loss record, they can provide moments of delight in...1989Sun, 25 Aug 2013 16:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/20-twins-trades-ramos-for-a-proven-closer-r1986/Ok, let's all just try to be cool here. The Trade: BREAKDOWN! The Minnesota Twins traded Wilson Ramos, Joe Testa and cash to the Washington Nationals for Matt Capps. I'm not sure Twins fans remember this, but Capps was really good in 2010. He took over as closer and fired off 27 innings of 2 ERA....1986Sat, 24 Aug 2013 14:37:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/whats-the-plan-josmil-pinto-r1983/When the Twins dealt away Wilson Ramos in exchange for Matt Capps at the 2010 trade deadline, the after-effects could hardly have been more unfortunate. The Twins fizzled out in the first round of the playoffs, with Capps unable to make any real impact. The next season, Ramos emerged as a Rookie...1983Fri, 23 Aug 2013 05:33:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/would-a-johan-santana-reunion-make-sense-r1977/It has been five seasons since Johan Santana last wore the uniform of the Minnesota Twins. In the mean time, he has been dealing with multiple injuries and ineffective pitching performances. He missed all of the 2011 season as he dealt with a shoulder problem and he won't pitch in 2013 because of an...1977Wed, 21 Aug 2013 03:55:00 +0000
