And some of it is pitching, and some of it is not. There are other areas we need to address." - Minnesota Twins GM Terry Ryan as reported by Phil Mackey The Twins rotation currently ranks 29th in the majors in ERA and 28th in innings pitched. But Ryan is right – they aren’t the on...739Thu, 09 Aug 2012 01:17:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-vs-indians-08-08-2012-1105am-r737/Well, the Twins did it again. Trailing 5-1 to the Indians late in the game last night, they rallied in the final three frames, scoring six times on route to a 7-5 win. Almost everyone was involved in the rally and even the much-lamented Tsuyoshi Nishioka drove in the go ahead run with a sacrifice...737Wed, 08 Aug 2012 14:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/its-all-good-in-the-outfield-r736/Last year, Minnesota's outfield was a mess. Among players who put in significant time at an OF spot, only Michael Cuddyer and Jason Kubel posted an OPS over .700, and neither appeared in more than 77 games as on outfielder (Cuddyer due to Justin Morneau's injury, Kubel due to his own). This, along w...736Wed, 08 Aug 2012 05:09:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-vs-indians-08-07-2012-605pm-r734/The Twins kept rolling last night, defeating the Indians 14-3 and sending Cleveland to its tenth consecutive loss. Now just two games behind the Tribe for third place, the Twins send Deduno to the mound, hoping to reign in his control just long enough to deliver Minnesota another win. Built on th...734Tue, 07 Aug 2012 19:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/morneau-no-longer-thrown-for-a-curve-r735/Last night Justin Morneau hit multiple home runs in a game for the third time this season. As impressive as that is, the most noteworthy aspect about that feat is that the Twins first baseman hit both of those off of curve balls – something that he had done only once since 2010. Heading into Monday...735Tue, 07 Aug 2012 16:19:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/morneau-vs-the-void-r732/If The Twins Are Willing To Trade Justin Morneau This Offseason, There Should Be Options Last week, as the trade deadline approached, Justin Morneau was featured in the latest trade rumors. That made sense. First, Morneau had been productive and healthy. Second, Chris Parmelee is raking at first bas...732Tue, 07 Aug 2012 04:56:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-vs-indians-08-06-2012-605pm-r727/The Twins had quite a weekend for themselves, taking three of four in Boston and almost rallying for the second consecutive day on Sunday, scoring three runs in the ninth before ultimately falling 6-4. Overall, it's hard not to consider the weekend a success, as the Twins received solid pitching...727Mon, 06 Aug 2012 19:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/nishioka-gets-another-shot-r726/Sending Tsuyoshi Nishioka to the minors at the outset of this season was a fairly obvious decision, given his immense struggles as a rookie last year. Leaving him there for the majority of the summer has also been an easy choice, as his play in Triple-A has offered no indication that he belongs in t...726Mon, 06 Aug 2012 06:08:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-and-the-geek-ep-53-goodbye-danny-hello-nishi-r725/Aaron and John talk about dumping Danny Valencia, bringing back Tsuyoshi Nishioka, what the trade deadline inactivity means, what can be done about the Twins' medical staff, John's new motorcycle, Alex Wimmers' elbow surgery, and a report about Miguel Sano and the Beloit prospects from special g...725Mon, 06 Aug 2012 03:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/danny-valencia-traded-to-red-sox-nishioka-recalled-r724/The Minnesota Twins have traded third baseman Danny Valencia to the Boston Red Sox for minor league outfielder Jeremias Pineda.

Don't look now but the Twins pitching has slowly started to look respectable. Since the All-Star break, the Twins have posted a 4.65 ERA, good for 21st i...716Fri, 03 Aug 2012 19:00:00 +0000
