Whether we come up short of the expectations we set for ourselves or drop off from previously-established performance expectations, being in a slump is real. Being in a slump has wreaked havoc on baseball players for as long as the game has be...14207Fri, 12 May 2023 16:41:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/draft-preview-outfield-personalcheeseballs-r14199/The outfield group can certainly be an eclectic group. There will be your burners at centerfield. The group that is athletic enough to play shortstop, but are either so fast or slightly-built that they are best suited for the middle of the outfield. You’ll have your really big-bodied corner outf...14199Fri, 12 May 2023 13:19:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-minor-league-report-511-royce-returns-r14212/SAINTS SENTINEL  St. Paul 8, Indianapolis 7 Box Score Twins pitching prospect Simeon Woods Richardson made the start for the Saints. It was a tough outing as he lasted just 4 1/3 innings giving up five runs on six hits.

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.

Over the course of his career we have seen that possibility is remote at best.
