In 135 games, Correa posted just a .711 OPS with a league-leading 30 double plays. Statcast’s defensive numbers didn’t love his 2023 season either, as he finished in the 34th percent...15122Thu, 05 Oct 2023 17:21:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-do-everything-right-against-blue-jays-r15123/Rocco Baldelli’s squad could not have cared less about the previous ineptitude of Twins postseason teams of the past. Sure, history was reality, but Kyle Farmer stuck to the tone that it did not matter. He couldn’t have been more right in suggesting that this team was ready to turn the tide, and...15123Thu, 05 Oct 2023 16:14:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-daily-2023-awards-best-pitcher-r15120/Minnesota has been striving to build a competitive pitching staff since the current front office regime took the reins. There have been plenty of bumps along the way, but the Twins were able to compile one of baseball's best-starting staffs this season with depth in the rotation and bullpen. ...15120Thu, 05 Oct 2023 12:21:01 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/the-wild-card-series-should-end-the-quick-hook-baldelli-myth-r15124/In what will be an infamous decision, Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider pulled his starter, former Twins right-hander José Berrios at only 47 pitches in the top of the fourth inning after walking Twins Legend Royce Lewis to lead off the inning. Berrios had been, in the words of many, deal...15124Thu, 05 Oct 2023 11:23:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-2-blue-jays-0-minnesota-wins-first-playoff-series-in-20-years-behind-dominant-pitching-r15121/Box Score Starting Pitcher: Sonny Gray, 5.0 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 6 K (85 pitches, 53 strikes, 64.7%) Home Runs: none Top 3 WPA: Sonny Gray (.274), Caleb Thielbar (.124), Donovan Solano (.091) Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs) A day after snapping the longest playoff losi...15121Wed, 04 Oct 2023 23:45:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/where-were-the-twins-daily-writers-for-the-last-twins-playoff-win-before-yesterday-r15113/On Tuesday, the Twins topped the Blue Jays 3-1 in Game 1 of the Wild Card round of the playoffs. In case you hadn’t heard, the Minnesota Twins were on an 0-18 streak in postseason games. We must travel back to 2004 to remember what that a postseason win was like. It's a win that we, as fans...15113Wed, 04 Oct 2023 19:36:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-daily-2023-awards-most-improved-r15105/Before we begin, a word of caution to this year’s winners. Last year's winners didn't find much success in 2023. Griffin Jax saw his advanced stats drop across the board after receiving honorable mention in 2022. Luis Arraez got traded after being mentioned. Gilberto Celestino barely made it bac...15105Wed, 04 Oct 2023 17:18:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/with-0-18-curse-lifted-suddenly-anything-feels-possible-r15117/Going into Tuesday’s game, there was one thing and only one thing that anyone talked about: the streak. The dreaded streak. You are fully aware that going into Tuesday’s series opener, the Twins carried a 0-18 playoff losing streak. The Twins’ last playoff win was in 2004. I was in 4th grade.
