It was another disappointing series for the Twins, as their received good starting pitching in the last two games but couldn't close out either with a win. Now, it's on to Boston to face the other Sox of...712Thu, 02 Aug 2012 19:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-francisco-liriano-postmortem-r709/Last night saw a near vintage Francisco Liriano carving up his now former team. In six innings of work, the lefty punched out eight Twins batters, showcasing a well-placed 94 mile per hour fastball and a devastating slide piece. It was this first weapon, the well-placed fastball, which would have be...709Wed, 01 Aug 2012 17:59:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-vs-white-sox-08-01-2012-1210pm-r708/The Twins lost a game on a late homer last night. After receiving what was easily Nick Blackburn's best start of the year, Gardenhire opted to put Jeff Gray in for the ninth, leaving Glen Perkins on the bench. AJ Pierzynski homered and that was all for the Twins. This afternoon, the Twins send ou...708Wed, 01 Aug 2012 15:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/trade-flatline-r705/Tuesday's 3:00 PM trade deadline came and went with Minnesota, for a second consecutive year, standing pat. There's a lot of frustration being directed toward the Twins, who – unlike other cellar-dwellers around the league – weren't able to unload assets for impact prospects. Their only trade sent F...705Wed, 01 Aug 2012 04:24:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-vs-white-sox-07-31-2012-710pm-r701/Tonight, we can count on at least one thing: the fans at Target Field are going to boo a pitcher. Nick Blackburn takes the mound against recently-traded Francisco Liriano for the White Sox. While it's pretty likely that Nick Blackburn will give up a handful of runs in the first four innings, most...701Tue, 31 Jul 2012 20:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/what-if-the-twins-do-nothing-today-r702/Today is the July trade deadline. At 3:00 this afternoon (central time), the non-waiver trade deadline will come and go. The Twins have already traded Francisco Liriano. That was a given. The Twins needed to deal him before July 31 regardless of the 10 (or more) things that we hate about the actual...702Tue, 31 Jul 2012 12:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-vs-white-sox-07-30-2012-710pm-r699/The big news of the weekend was that Francisco Liriano was traded for two White Sox players. Fan outrage and then the grief process followed. Whether you like it or not, Francisco is done and the Twins now have Pedro Hernandez and somebody named Escobar. The other news of the weekend was that the...699Mon, 30 Jul 2012 20:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/hard-truths-r698/When the news came down this weekend that the Twins had traded Francisco Liriano to the White Sox for a pair of middling 23-year-old prospects, the reaction around here was understandably negative. The same questions echoed in the minds of fans across the state. Why did the Twins deal Liriano in the...698Mon, 30 Jul 2012 06:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gleeman-and-the-geek-ep-52-liriano-to-the-white-sox-r697/Aaron and John talk about the Francisco Liriano trade, break down the prospects from the White Sox and the Twins' reasoning for the deal, get sad with Otis Redding, welcome back Danny Valencia, look ahead to potential other moves before the deadline, marvel at Lew Ford, update Alex Wimmers' heal...697Mon, 30 Jul 2012 05:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/sam-deduno-and-his-ampquotcrazyampquot-fastball-r695/Sam Deduno has a curveball that would be easily classified as “filthy” by baseball jargon standards but his fastball is “crazy” – at least by his own admission. According to a story from Rochester, the Red Wings pitchers were introducing themselves and speaking about their best pitches. When it was...695Sun, 29 Jul 2012 18:27:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/ten-things-i-hate-about-the-liriano-trade-r694/I started making a list of the top 10 things I hate about this trade for today’s Gleeman and the Geek podcast. I’m up to #28. (Kill me. Or better yet, add on in the comments section.) 1.
