It's sold at the program stands near the entrances to Target Field, and it's only one buck. How many things can you buy at the ballgame for a dollar? Aside from providing the necessary tools for a scorekeeper to do his/her...620Mon, 09 Jul 2012 03:02:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-ampamp-the-geek-ep-49-overs-unders-and-mailbag-r619/Aaron and John talk about the endless game of musical pitchers, revisit their preseason over/under predictions, answer Twitter questions from listeners, try to decide who comes off worse owning the same shirt, wonder if Nick Blackburn is worth having in the 2013 plans, review Samuel Deduno's fir...619Mon, 09 Jul 2012 00:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/on-mitch-williams-horrible-non-balk-explanation-r618/For Twins fans who were fortunate enough to tune into last night's Twins-Rangers broadcast on FOX, they were treated with the soothing baritone of former pitcher Mitch "Wild Thing" Williams. Turns out, Williams is the new Joe Morgan of saying semi-crazy things on the air. In the top of the first, D...618Sun, 08 Jul 2012 18:55:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/friday-links-n-thinks-r616/The Fourth of July holiday means that the All-Star Break is quickly approaching and the Twins are near a break that might be good for a team that is struggling to find pitchers for their starting staff. There has been a well-worn road from Rochester to Minneapolis as the Twins try to find players to...616Fri, 06 Jul 2012 14:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/morneaus-struggles-against-southpaws-persist-r614/So far this season Justin Morneau has seemed as comfortable facing lefties as Mitt Romney would as the opening act for a Phish concert. In spite of performing quite well against right-handed pitchers (hitting .310/.386/.561 and smacking 8 of his 10 home runs), among qualified hitters Morneau’s .100...614Fri, 06 Jul 2012 03:07:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/trade-target-team-profile-cincinnati-reds-r612/The Big Picture The Reds are currently 44-37 and one game behind the Pittsburgh Pirates in the NL Central. They are just 1.5 games ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals. The Reds last won a playoff game in 1995 when they beat the LA Dodgers in the Division Series before being swept by the Braves in the N...612Thu, 05 Jul 2012 16:31:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-vs-tigers-07052012-1205pm-r611/Well, it happened. The Twins winning streak was ended last night by a another strong pitching performance from Justin Verlander. Defeated 5-1, the Twins look to take three of four in Detroit against Tiger lefty Rick Porcello. To count, the Twins send Scott Diamond to the mound. If the Twins can...611Thu, 05 Jul 2012 14:02:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-would-a-francisco-liriano-contract-extension-look-like-r610/If the Twins want to sign Francisco Liriano to an extension, it will need to be in the parameters of what Liriano will make on the free agent market this winter. But its hard to know even roughly how much he’ll command. Partly that’s because of his mercurial performance. But that problem is compound...610Thu, 05 Jul 2012 02:27:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-vs-tigers-07042012-605pm-r608/Nick Blackburn was bad again last night. Really bad. Thankfully, the Twins were able to overcome an early deficit and defeat the Tigers 8-6. Willingham and Plouffe homered again and the Twins' pen put in a stellar performance to close out the game. Tonight is not going to be any easier. The Twin...608Wed, 04 Jul 2012 18:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/trade-target-team-profile-new-york-yankees-r606/The Big Picture The Bronx Bombers have made the playoffs in seven of the past eight years but have reached the World Series only once, when they beat the Phillies in 2009. For most teams, one championship in eight years would be perfectly adequate, but not for the Yankees. This is a franchise that a...606Wed, 04 Jul 2012 03:47:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-vs-tigers-07032012-605pm-r604/The Twins go into tonight's second game at Detroit feeling pretty good about themselves. They're on a four game winning streak, all against division rivals. Of course, that could all change tonight as Nick Blackburn takes the mound again for the Twins. I won't bother dredging up the numbers; we a...604Tue, 03 Jul 2012 19:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/trade-target-team-profile-atlanta-braves-r601/The Big Picture In the hyper-competitive NL East, the Braves are 4.5 games back of the division leading Nationals. But they’re also just one game back of the second wild-card spot, which happens to be shared by division rival New York Mets. Atlanta is reportedly searching for a top starting pitcher....601Tue, 03 Jul 2012 00:20:00 +0000
