Some may find that a strange concept, but I very often have problems accessing certain areas of my emotional palette. My anger is a very private entity and he mostly shows up when I...1445Sun, 05 May 2013 01:52:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/friday-mailbag-532013-r1442/Welcome to the third installment of my (fake) Minnesota Twins mailbag. In the past, I have used this space to answer the tough questions that no one seems to want to actually ask me. Today, I have a treat! Actual questions! Well, not all of them. See if you can spot the fakes. Which flavor ic...1442Fri, 03 May 2013 19:07:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/weekly-links-n-thinks-r1441/The Minnesota Twins continue their longest road trip of the year so far with games in Cleveland over the weekend. A four game series with the Boston Red Sox is looming at the beginning of next week but for now Minnesota needs to concentrate on beating opponents from the AL Central.[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK...1441Fri, 03 May 2013 16:09:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/series-preview-twins-indians-53-r1440/Through the first month of the season, the Twins have been able to hang around the .500 mark, flirting with dominant play mixed with some pretty bad play by the pitching staff, offense, and defense. Coming into the season, many thought this was a best case scenario for the team and thus far the team...1440Fri, 03 May 2013 12:29:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-future-of-ron-gardenhire-r1434/At the end of last season, things must have been a little tense around the Ron Gardenhire household. The Twins were coming off back-to-back 90-loss seasons and Gardenhire had only one season left on his current contract. Some change was inevitable. Almost all of the Minnesota Twins manager's coachin...1434Wed, 01 May 2013 14:49:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/how-valuable-is-eduardo-escobar-r1429/When the Minnesota Twins traded Francisco Liriano to the Chicago White Sox last July, it seemed like the club was getting a bag of balls and some chewing gum in return. There wasn't much to get excited about with names like Pedro Hernadez and Eduardo Escobar. Flash forward a couple of months later a...1429Wed, 01 May 2013 12:12:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-is-the-matter-with-joe-mauer-r1432/After a slow start in the season’s opening week, Joe Mauer was once again cracking line drives – right on schedule – but has more recently found himself in one of the worst stretches of offensive baseball of his career and quite possibly the worst since he was a fetus. 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 +0000
