	Coming off of a brutal series loss to the lowly Washington Nationals, the Twins are in an odd predicament. They are pitching quite well, and were delivered two more excellent outings by Tyler Mahle and Bailey Ober in the Nats series. But they can&#x2019;t hit themselves out of a paper bag, scori...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">14103</guid><pubDate>Mon, 24 Apr 2023 22:27:01 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Tough Decisions Are On Deck for the Twins</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-roster-decisions-kirilloff-gordon-larnach/</link><description>One of the less-discussed pleasant surprises in this young 2023 Twins season (perhaps because no one wants to jinx anything) is that the team has enjoyed pretty good health so far.
