Game 15
Cold Weathered Out

After  going all the way to Chicago just to find out that another game would  be postponed due to inclement weather, the Twins groaned loudly in  protest. Manager Ron Gardenhire...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">1405</guid><pubDate>Wed, 24 Apr 2013 10:54:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins Switch-Hitters</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-switch-hitters-r1400/</link><description>The history of Twins switch-hitters goes back to the first game the Twins played, but it was the last guy you would expect. 
In baseball, a switch-hitter is a batter who can bat from the right side or the left side, depending on whether the pitcher is right- or left-handed. Most curveballs break awa...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">1400</guid><pubDate>Wed, 24 Apr 2013 10:37:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Accelerating the Rebuild Timeline</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/accelerating-the-rebuild-timeline-r1403/</link><description>When healthy, Joe Mauer is one of baseball&#x2019;s elite players, and a fitting centerpiece for a championship-caliber team. The Twins are aware of this, which is why they locked him up with a $184 million contract back in 2010. 
When they committed to paying the hometown star $23 million annually for eig...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">1403</guid><pubDate>Wed, 24 Apr 2013 05:28:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Two Strike Counts and Joe Mauer</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/two-strike-counts-and-joe-mauer-r1399/</link><description>"Strike two, you're out," seems to be the current mantra for most of baseball. Unless you're Joe Mauer.
One of the biggest challenges for batters in recent years has been their ability to come back in an at-bat after falling into a two-strike count. Since 2006, there has been a steady decrease in pl...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">1399</guid><pubDate>Tue, 23 Apr 2013 14:10:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Winter Weather Blues - Gimmicks</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/winter-weather-blues-gimmicks-r1398/</link><description>It seems that just about every Twins game is snowed or rained or winded out these days.  When is MLB going to wake up and start banning weather from their games?!?  If nothing else, the Twins should have no home games in April, just in case it snows.  Then, they should have no home games in May beca...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">1398</guid><pubDate>Tue, 23 Apr 2013 12:47:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins Minor League Report: Berrios Debuts</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-minor-league-report-berrios-debuts-r1397/</link><description>It's April 22 and we're experiencing another snowstorm.  The Twins were postponed and will play a split-doubleheader tomorrow (hopefully; I wouldn't bet on it).  And despite having a day-off Wednesday, there won't be a game because the Marlins have 20 straight days with games beginning Thursday, so...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">1397</guid><pubDate>Tue, 23 Apr 2013 03:13:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Twins 2013: An Impressive Start</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-2013-an-impressive-start-r1395/</link><description>I am not sure many really expected all of this.
The Twins are now 8-7 and have won four games in a row. This is while without their best 2012 starting pitcher for the first nine games, with Vance Worley being bad until his fourth start, with a horribly struggling rookie in Aaron Hicks, with Justin M...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">1395</guid><pubDate>Mon, 22 Apr 2013 18:08:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Series Preview: Twins vs Marlins, 4/22</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/series-preview-twins-vs-marlins-422-r1394/</link><description>The Twins should be feeling pretty good about themselves right now. They haven't lost in a week and are returning home after sweeping the division rival White Sox in a weather-shortened two game series in Chicago.
To make things even sweeter, they face the floundering (heh) Marlins in Target Field f...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">1394</guid><pubDate>Mon, 22 Apr 2013 11:15:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Hicks Shaping Up As Bruno Success Story?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/hicks-shaping-up-as-bruno-success-story-r1393/</link><description>On April 13th at Target Field, Aaron Hicks went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts, dropping his batting average to .047. It was the seventh time in 10 major-league games that he'd notched multiple strikeouts, and in total the rookie had whiffed in a whopping 43 percent of his plate appearances.

Worley&#x2019;s response was that he had not been quite comfortable throwing this particular pitch. Being a &#x201C;feel&#x201D; pitch, the right-hander bounced between throwing a spli...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">1387</guid><pubDate>Sun, 21 Apr 2013 19:38:00 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
