He allowed just a single run through his first 15 1/3 innings this season and posted a dazzling 0.59 ERA. Then came two starts in which he allowed six and nine runs before going on the Covid list. Maybe you could chalk up the performance to e...12439Thu, 09 Jun 2022 11:40:07 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-8-yankees-1-minnesota%E2%80%99s-offense-routs-the-yankees-even-the-series-r12460/Box Score Starting Pitcher: Chris Archer, 5.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 4 BB, 2 K (70 pitches, 42 strikes, 60.0%) Home Runs: Ryan Jeffers (4), Byron Buxton (13) Top 3 WPA: Chris Archer (.159), Gio Urshela (.147), Byron Buxton (.100) Win Probability Chart (via FanGraphs) Unlike last ni...12460Thu, 09 Jun 2022 02:51:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/minnesota-twins-2012-draft-retrospective-correa-vs-buxton-r12449/Major League Baseball’s 2022 Draft is scheduled to start on July 17, 2022. Each team prepares for the draft with a specific plan, and sometimes those plans play out better than others.

After Juan Minaya and Yennier Cano bridged the game to that point, Tyler Duffey was tasked with facing Jose Trevino, Joey Gallo, and D.J. LeMahieu in the...12458Wed, 08 Jun 2022 17:30:09 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/trevor-megill-should-be-used-in-more-high-leverage-spots-r12453/The Twins’ bullpen has been better than average this year. As a collective unit, they rank seventh in MLB in bullpen WPA with 1.55 wins added. However, Jhoan Duran, Griffin Jax, and Joe Smith have combined for 3.06 wins added. The rest of the Twins’ bullpen has been worth -1.51 wins.

That was always likely to be a win simply through addition by subtraction. The hope was that Urshela may find some of his 2019 and 2020 plate production...12452Wed, 08 Jun 2022 10:20:10 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/yankees-10-twins-4-duffey-clobbered-again-as-twins-drop-game-one-r12456/Box Score Starting Pitcher: Cole Sands 3.2 IP, 8 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 3 SO Homeruns: Jorge Polanco (7) Bottom 3 WPA: Cole Sands -.283, Tyler Duffey -.234, Gary Sanchez -.153 Bottom Probability Chart (via FanGraphs) On Tuesday night, the Twins were out to try and make a dent in one o...12456Wed, 08 Jun 2022 03:39:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-minor-league-report-67-gipson-long-shucks-cubs-steer-stays-hot-r12455/Transactions: RHP Cole Sands recalled by Minnesota C Roy Morales placed on injured list by St. Paul INF Kevin Merrell placed on temporary inactive list by Wichita INF Ernie Yake placed on injured list by Wichita LHP Jordan Carr transferred to Fort Myers from...12455Wed, 08 Jun 2022 02:52:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/ranking-the-twins-designated-hitters-so-far-r12448/  But if the Twins would like to see more than a pair of Wild Card games and a continued playoff losing streak, they need to find an effective way to use the DH. Without Cruz this year, the Twins have given a number of players a parade through the position. However, these hitters are curren...12448Tue, 07 Jun 2022 23:00:18 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/one-former-twins-pitcher-that-could-bolster-minnesota%E2%80%99s-rotation-r12446/  The 2019 Minnesota Twins had many things go right for them on their way to 101-wins and a division title. Minnesota’s Bomba Squad didn’t need shutouts from their starting pitchers because the line-up was scoring runs at a record-breaking pace. Only two of the team’s regular starters had s...12446Tue, 07 Jun 2022 17:00:10 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/goats-of-the-twins-first-third-r12438/  While we now routinely use the acronym G.O.A.T. to signify greatness, this time the word is neither shortened or capitalized. Minnesota has gotten plenty from the best on their roster, but there’s been a few players that have left plenty to be desired. In terms of fWAR, here’s who Mi...12438Tue, 07 Jun 2022 16:20:05 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/gary-s%C3%A1nchez-is-different-and-may-be-underperforming-r12445/We’ll focus solely on Sánchez’s bat in this article; defensive analysis can be left to Parker Hageman or some other actual baseball knower with a shred of a clue regarding mechanics. The Twins weren’t acquiring the frustrating catcher for his glove, after all; they were after his inconsistent ye...12445Tue, 07 Jun 2022 10:10:04 +0000
