Correa has had an abysmal start to the season; he’s batting .185, and to sum things up, his Baseball Savant page stats are primarily in the blue (poor) range. I thought the boos were coming from the scores of r...14198Fri, 12 May 2023 00:52:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/who-have-been-the-luckiest-and-unluckiest-minnesota-twins-batters-in-2023-r14203/At the beginning of a baseball season it can take a while for statistics to normalize. The small sample sizes can cause incorrect opinions to be made about players when in reality their baseline numbers don’t tell the whole story. When you dig into their underlying statistics, you can come to fi...14203Thu, 11 May 2023 21:59:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-5-padres-3-correa-comes-up-big-in-series-win-over-padres-r14208/Box Score SP: Bailey Ober 6 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 0 BB, 6 K (96 pitches, 66 strikes (69.0%) Home Runs: Kyle Farmer (2), Top 3 WPA: Carlos Correa (.259), Joey Gallo (.183), Kyle Farmer (.165),  Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs)  On the very first pitch of the game, Bailey Ober gave...14208Thu, 11 May 2023 20:27:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/tommy-john-surgery-for-tyler-mahle-what-does-it-mean-for-the-twins-r14206/Tyler Mahle was arguably the team’s biggest trade deadline acquisition last season, and now his Twins tenure is likely finished after only nine appearances. The Twins announced on Thursday that Mahle will have Tommy John surgery which will sideline him for the remainder of 2023 and a significant...14206Thu, 11 May 2023 19:04:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/byron-buxton-making-one-dimensional-work-r14186/There is no denying that the Minnesota Twins, Rocco Baldelli, and Byron Buxton would all prefer him to play in centerfield for 162 games during a given season. Over the course of his career we have seen that possibility is remote at best.

They tend to not make rash, reactive decisions. Firing the hitting coach, who was handpicked by this same regime only 18 months ago? That would cer...14200Wed, 10 May 2023 20:01:11 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/donavan-soloano-2023-struggles/Donovan Solano was a late addition to a Twins roster that has struggled against left-handed pitching for years. Being one of the most consistent hitters against lefties in the last few years, the hope was for Donnie Barrels to carry the short side of the platoon. At 36 years old, Sovano’s start...14191Wed, 10 May 2023 16:15:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/t-pain-and-carly-pearce-to-perform-postgame-concerts-at-target-field-r14196/Following the Twins vs. Detroit Tigers 6:10 p.m. game on June 15, T-Pain will perform a full 75-minute set.

Miranda was named the Twins' minor league hitter of the year and catapulted himself into the MLB.com top 100 prospect list.

Originally, the landscape of pitcher evaluation, for instance, started out so broad that we gave one pitcher per game credit for an entire win. Then we sliced that up into how many runs he gave up.
